My new iphone 5 won't sync all of the information saved on my iCloud?

I recently bought a new iphone 5 and was transferring data from my iphone 4.It was syncing for an extremely long time and I noticed that all of my pictures were done syncing but it continued to say 'syncing' on the phone and on itunes. It's been saying 'Step 6 ouf ot 6 Syncing' for over 24 hours when it obviously is done syncing the pictures. I'm guessing my other apps and such can't sync unless all of my pictures are done syncing, but there are no more pictures to sync. This is very confusing. On top of that, my contacts won't sync either and my apps won't finish downloading/installing. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Were they all backed up to your computer? I know apps you can redownload off purchases under settings on the store… But if the contacts weren't backed up you'll halfto do it all over.
