    This may sound stupid but I'd there anywhere that I could bring my old I phone and get all the photos and messages and apps off it and get them on the new phone. I'm trying to do it through I cloud but it's a nightmare. I seem to have two phones on the go with what's app working on one and not the other and I can't seem to get anything more from the cloud . Is there anywhere anyone that will do it for me ? ?

    You need to back up on the old one and restore from that back up on the new one. It has been seem less for me since the cloud started on iOS from the 5 to the 6 and previous.

    Make sure everything is selected for the back up and also make sure you have enough storage to hold the back up on iCloud.

    Nope. You have to do the back up on the 5 first. When that is fully finished reset the 6 and it will ask you then if you want to set up as a new phone or restore from a back up. You then select the 5 back up. But then delete the 5. You don't want the 5 still connected to your iCloud and throwing off the settings.

    Similar question, so no point starting a new thread.
    I currently have the iphone 4s and the wireless went on in a while back, so obv I don't have photo's syncing to icloud. However I can still able to back up to my computer. Can I use this back up in anyway to get the info onto a new iphone?

    Yes. Turn off icloud back up and sync everything to the PC. Then plug the new phone into the pc and click restore. It will then ask you to select a backup.
