Transferring data from iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S

[alex-avfc]

Hi all,

I know there's loads of you with iPhones on here that know them inside out. If you would be so kind as to educate me here it would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have an iPhone 3GS but have just taken delivery of a new 4S.

Is it possible to transfer from back-up, or otherwise:

(from the old phone to the new)

-Text messages
-Apps
-Music
-Notes

Basically the personal contents of my 3gs. The most problematic one is perhaps my contacts.

The 3gs takes a normal sim, from which before I simply used the 'import contacts from SIM' function. The 4s takes a micro sim, obviously I have been issued a new one so can't work out how I will move all my contacts over.

Please advise

Cheers,

Al.

Please move to Apple chat if poss - only just noticed that section.

plug your phone into your comp and sync it with iTunes to do the backup, when you start up your 4s you will get the option to start as a new phone or to restore from a back up, choose this option and everything that was synced with iTunes will be transferred across

Exactly as above.

Fantastic, that's great, cheers.

Contacts included? Or will that be an issue with the different SIM?

 

[Tom]

Everything. You'll need to let it sync the apps and other content. Takes a while.

Wicked, cheers Tom.

I see the iCloud will provide another source of back up on the 4s?

Only sync it with the PC you've been syncing it with all along!

Does that also apply to all in app data? For example the above sync's Angry Birds, but what about all your level saves, stars, etc?

Yes
