    If your old device is an iOS device, follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hint

    • You can also select the file transfer mode by performing the following procedure.

      [Settings] > [Device connection] > [USB] > [File Transfer]

  2. On the computer, select which files to transfer from your old device, and then copy and paste or drag and drop the files to a location on your new device.
    When you copy files from your old device to your new device, make sure that the folder names are the same on both devices.

Note

  • Always use a Sony-branded USB cable, since other types of USB cables may pose increased safety risks.
  • Make sure the USB cable is completely dry.
