When you plug in the iphone it`s name
should show up under the “devices” section of itunes on your computer. Then
right click on it and a bar will come up with different options, choose the
“backup” option and wait for it to process, it won`t take very long. That`s it
for this part.
Now connect the new phone to the
computer. Go to the itunes screen and choose restore, click on this. Next go to
the section on the left of the screen called devices as you did before. Right
click on the new iphone name, scroll down to “restore from backup”. A new
window will appear in the middle of your screen giving you several options. Choose to restore from “My iphone” by
clicking that option on the drop down list and then click on “restore”.
Now you need to change the name that
your data is stored under on the computer. Change the phone`s name under
“Devices” to the new phone name, whichever name you have given it.
The last step is to synchronise the
data on the new phone. Under itunes you will find a summary with four tick
boxes underneath the main window. You need to tick the box for “manually manage
songs and videos” & “sync only checked songs and videos” then click
“ok” when the small window comes up above to confirm that you really want to do
this. Lastly click on “Apply” in the bottom right corner of your screen. Voila.
