However, if you're planning on using iTunes in order to restore, skip down to the very last section. <ol><li>Launch the Settings app on your old iPhone. </li> <li>Tap on iCloud. </li> <li>Tap on Backup. </li> <li>Tap on Back Up Now and wait for it to finish. </li> </ol><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/icloud_manual_backup_ios_8_howto.jpg?itok=l-CZNzmW' />[/url] As a side note, the directions above are assuming you're already running iOS 8 on your old iPhone. However, if you're still running iOS 7, the process is almost the same but varies slightly, and those directions can be found at this link: <ul><li>How to backup your iPhone to iCloud manually with iOS 7</li> </ul>Once you have a completely up to date iCloud backup made, you can proceed to the next section. <h2><a name="transfer-icloud" id="transfer-icloud">[/url]How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone with iCloud</h2> If you have been backing up to iCloud on your old iPhone, bringing down all your data to your new iPhone couldn't be any easier. <ol><li>After your new iPhone powers on, you'll see a welcome screen, Slide your finger across the bottom where it says slide to set up. </li> <li>Now choose your language from the choices presented to you. </li> <li>Select the country or region you are in. </li> <li>Now choose your wifi network and enter the password for it if there is one. If you don't have access to wifi, you can choose Use Cellular but keep in mind, only some things in your iCloud backup will be restored without wifi. Others won't be triggered until you're on WiFi. Or you can choose to restore from an iTunes backup if you have access to one. </li> <li>On the next screen, select Restore from iCloud backup.</li> <li>Sign into your iCloud account and tap next. </li> <li>Agree to the terms and conditions, and then confirm by agreeing a second time in the popup menu. </li> <li>Choose the backup you'd like to bring down to your new iPhone. </li> <li>Type in any iTunes or iCloud passwords you're asked for and tap Next. </li> <li>Wait for your iPhone to restore from iCloud — this process could take quite a bit of time depending on how much stuff there is to bring down, so it's a good idea to plug into a charger if you don't have a full battery. </li> </ol><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/ios_8_restore_icloud_howto_1.jpg?itok=z5nApBCQ' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/ios_8_restore_icloud_howto_2.jpg?itok=FeJMwThf' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/ios_8_restore_icloud_howto_3.jpg?itok=e5GDYi_K' />[/url] The backup process could take quite a while depending on how much stuff you're transferring. It's also worth noting that certain items such as apps, photos, and videos will only restore when on WiFi in order to not eat through your data plan. If you have to leave WiFi range before the restore is complete, don't worry, it will pick up where it left up when you enter WiFi again. <h2><a name="transfer-itunes" id="transfer-itunes">[/url]How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone with iTunes</h2> Some people still feel iTunes is a safer way to backup and restore, and they're probably right. It's also the only option for some people with older devices. Whatever the reason, restoring from iTunes is just as easy! Just remember to make sure you're on the most current version of iTunes before continuing. <ol><li>After your new iPhone powers on, you'll see a welcome screen, Slide your finger across the bottom where it says slide to set up. </li> <li>Now choose your language from the choices presented to you. </li> <li>Select the country or region you are in. </li> <li>Now choose your wifi network and enter the password for it if there is one.

Or you can choose to restore from an iTunes backup if you have access to one. </li> <li>On the next screen, select Restore from iTunes backup.</li> <li>If you aren't already connected to your computer containing your iTunes backups, your iPhone will prompt you to do so now. </li> <li>Follow the prompts in iTunes in order to select your most recent backup. </li> </ol><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/ios_8_restore_icloud_howto_1.jpg?itok=z5nApBCQ' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/ios_8_restore_icloud_howto_2.jpg?itok=FeJMwThf' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-transfer-data-your-old-iphone-your-new-iphone-6-or-6-plus' title="How to transfer data from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/restore_itunes_ios_8_backup_howto.jpg?itok=SOZ2QMiP' />[/url] That's all there is to it. Once iTunes starts bringing your stuff down, just let it do its thing. Depending on how much data you have, especially apps, the restore process could take a while. Just make sure you don't unplug your iPhone from your computer until iTunes tells you that the restore is complete. </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27174"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3ea1f301/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/>
