How to transfer data from your old iPhone to a new iPhone 4S

You are seriously thinking about getting the new iPhone 4s? You are planning on buying the new iPhone 4s?  So the question is: how you can transfer your data from old Iphone to the new iPhone 4S.  Luckily, iTunes makes this process almost painless. After your initial transfer to your new device, iOS 5 and iCloud will make the process even easier from here on out. But if for some reason you still need to transfer your data manually, we’ve got you covered!

Follow this process will save all your contacts, camera roll photos, apps, and settings into an iTunes backup for you.
1. Plug your current iPhone into your computer and open iTunes.

2. If it doesn’t start to sync automatically, click the Sync button. (You can alternately right click your device name in the navigation bar and click back up as well. Either way will work just fine.)

3. Unplug your current iPhone and plug in your new iPhone.

4. You’ll be asked to register your iPhone if you haven’t already.

5. iTunes should prompt you to do one of two things, set up as a new iPhone or restore from a backup. Choose to restore from a backup and select the backup you just made.

6. Once the restore is done your iPhone will reboot. When iTunes detects it again it will start to sync back any apps and games your old iPhone had installed.

7. Let iTunes do its thing. When you come back, your new phone should have all the same settings and data as your old one!

After you’ve done a manual transfer you’ll have the option to use iCloud backups in the future. If you have any questions or have issues, check out our TiPb Forums for all the help you could ever need!
