Hi. My iPhone's screen no longer works. I never turned on iCloud, and my dad just ordered a new phone for me. My question is, is there a way I can transfer my old contacts, pictures, music, and apps without iCloud? If you can please help me, it'd be appreciated. Thank you!
Yes, use your iTunes backup.
I assume you backup to iTunes on a regular basis right?
If you have no backup then sorry there is nothing you can do transfer your information over to your new phone with a broken screen.

Hi Nick,
Yes you can transfer data to your new iPhone without iCloud. You just need to connect old iPhone to iTunes, take a backup and then restore that backup on your new iPhone.

That's assuming the OP has ever sync/backup with iTunes before, if he hasn't it will ask him to unlock his phone or ask to authorized the phone.
which the OP can't do, because of a broken screen.
I never did back it up. luckily I found out how to get the pictures and apps off it. Thank you all for your help! I'll get the contacts myself. Have a nice day <3
With the new phone, you going to turn on iCloud/sync with your computer?
As well as enabling FindMyiPhone?
Correct?
Hello, I know it has been a year but do you by any chance remember how you did this? I am having the same problem.
Transfer Data from iPhone to iPhone 6/6s (Plus) via iTunes:
Step 1. Make a backup for your old iPhone via iTunes.
Step 2. You should turn off your old iPhone because it’ll cause conflicts with backups in iCloud.
Step 3. Turn on your new iPhone to set up your iPhone and tap on Restore from iTunes Backup.
Step 4. Connect your new iPhone to iTunes on the computer, which you used to backup your old iPhone.
Step 5. iTunes will ask you to restore from backup or set up as new. Select the latest backup of your old device and click Continue button. Make sure that iTunes is showing you the latest backup of your old iPhone.
Step 6. When the restore process is complete, your new iPhone will restart. Then it will be ready for use.

When you say you never "used" iCloud, do you mean you never backed up to it?
Kazzeake may be on the right track, but you say you do NOT have your old iPhone (even if it powered up, it may still be a difficult)
Here's what to try:
Login to iCloud
Look at your Contacts there
If these are right ones (or even a partial list), you can do it either way from this [OFFICIAL] page

- Method 1 is using MobileTrans for Mac (Kazzeake's *indirect* link)
- Method 2 is the manual iCloud 'Export Vcard' method

FYI: You replied to a 2.5 year old post.
I know this is very late. Hope this helps if you still need the answer..
The question was "WITHOUT ICLOUD"!
How hard was it to answer the question "How do i transfer data from old iPhone to new one WITHOUT ICLOUD?" and NOT give an answer that included "Turn on ICLOUD"???
How did you do it?
