Switching from iPhone 5 to 6: should I get iOS 8 first?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and I'm about to back it up to be ready for my new iPhone 6. Should I install iOS 8 in the iPhone 5 first? Will the iPhone 6 find problems when installing the new phone from a back up made in iOS 7? Do you recommend to start the new phone from scratch and download old stuff again?

Even on a phone that is not activated can dial 911 to report an emergency and usually 611 to get in contact with the carrier. These would both require some sort of cell signal.

    I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.

  • After switching from iphone 4 to iphone 6 i lost sync with iMessage on my mac book

    Hello
    I have jsut switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Previously I could use iMessage sync'ed on my iPhone and my Mac-Book. Now I doesn't work anymore. I went into settings->messages->SMS transfert from the iPhone. I saw the Mac Book being referenced but when I put the switch into green it shows a pop-up asking me to pin-in the code that should be shown in Messages from the Mac-Book but nothing is posted there.
    I hope I am clear. Just trying to get back to what I used to like as very convenient.
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Best

    Hello
    In the meantime while I was working on the issue a window popped on my iPhone asking for my password for iCloud. So I wasn't connected to iCloud and after I connected it all went OK and iPhone 6 now coupled with iMessage on the Mac Book.
    So I'm fixed and thanks again for your help.

  • I switched from iPhone 4 to Android Galaxy 4S.

    I switched from iPhone 4 to Android Galaxy 4S. I am not receiving all group text messages from iPhone users. I unregistered my iPhone from my apple profile. Sms and MMS are on on all devices. One person has to double tap the send button to send to me as a text. The others are just not coming through to me. They all receive my messages, but I get none of the replies.

    Try these two tips (copied from other thread and apple support)   
    Let's get this resolved sbash! Please ask the sender of the message to try below options....
    1. Log into iCloud and remove my old iPhone from my profile.
    2. Reset the password on my apple ID so that any other ios device that used "my profile" would be forced to re-sync.
    3. Remove the phone from my support profile, log in and remove the phone.
    Go to your support profile, remove the iphone: http://bit.ly/17RD5sY
    Also, go into your iTunes account and remove the iMessage settings from your phone number. On the iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>and click the Send as SMS button ON (make the button green). Ensure you have turned off iMessage on your old iPhone and erased the entire text thread between you and your contact you can't receive from. Have your contact erase their entire text thread from you as well, power off/on both phones and test. If you no longer have your iPhone to do so you will need to contact Apple Support. Please keep me posted. Thank you.

    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

    HI I will suggest you to use the Xperia Transfer feature to help transfer most of your data from your iphone to the Xperia Z3, that should also include your notes to be transfered.
    Aside from that, the notes app for Xperia for some country will preload with scatch or Google Keep and some with both. Just take note of that.
    Hope this helps to resolve your concern.
    Regards.

  • Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

    A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

    I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software.  I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

  • How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5.

    How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5. I've backed up my iCloud stuff on iCloud, and the rest on the PC. When I try to download the latest software before changing over I'm told my phone has not enough space with 8 still free. Any help appreciate. Thanks. Benbulben1

    Syncing with a new iTunes should not affect your personal data.  The problem is that iTunes can only allow apps, music, movies, and tv shows on the iPhone that are already on the computer and in your iTunes library.  If your non-personal media content is on the computer then you can usually sync without worry even though the error will still appear.
    If in doubt, right-click on the name of your iPhone in the left menu in Itunes and select transfer purchases to back up your iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases before the sync.  Just be aware that this does not work for media from any other sources, so they will be removed from the iPhone if they are not already on the computer.

  • I just switched from iphone 4s to LG G3. I'm having issues with bluetooth in my car, iphone would sync automatically but with G3 I have to manually connect to my car's bluetooth every time I turn it on - it won't sync automatically. Any fixes?

    You can turn on BT tethering but it disables Wifi so if I have to do that step every time I get in my car, I just as well manually connect on BT every time.
