Upgrading from iPod to iPhone

I apologize for asking, 'cause I'm sure this question has been asked before, possibly many times - but my wife has a 30GB iPod and I'm trying to get her to upgrade to an iPhone. She's using about 7.5 GB of her iPod so I assume I'd have to get her the 16GB iPhone?
If she does, will the software keep her iPod contacts and tunes, etc.? What would be the best way to approach this so she doesn't lose what she has in the iPod version of iTunes she's currently running? Can I just go ahead and run the "check for updates" and put iTunes 8.0.2 on it?

If she wants everything that is currently available on her iPod available on her iPhone, she needs a 16GB iPhone.
You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library, and with the supported applications on your computer. Which address book application on her computer is she using for transferring contact info to her iPhone via the iTunes sync process? If supported for syncing contact info with an iPhone, she can use the same address book application on her computer to sync contact info with her iPhone.
Installing an iTunes update on your computer does not affect iTunes content - which is stored completely separate from the application.

What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod. However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

Messaging from iPod to iPhone

I have an iphone 4 and a new iPod Touch. I would like to message from one to the other.
When we try it from iPod to iPhone, the iPod indicates the iPhone is not registered with iMessage. I am not sure what to do with this.
When I try the other way, I cannot get access to email addresses.
Can anyone give me an idea of what to do next? TIA, rasinc

HT1296 can i sync content from "safe note" app from iPod to iPhone?

No.
If you aren't syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or not syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your iPhone that supports this with a number of accounts that do which are free including a free Apple iCloud account, and your iPhone's backup is not being done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account and you don't have a backup for your iPhone on a computer, your contacts will be lost.

I upgraded from Iphone4 to iphone 6. I synced 4 using a PC. Now I want to transfer data to iphone 6

I upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. I synced iPhone 4 using a pc windows 8. I want to transfer music etc to iPhone 6. ITunes only recognizes iPhone 4. Any advice?

Create a backup from the iPhone 4 using iTunes and use this backup to restore your iPhone 6 with iTunes.

Itunes closes when trying to transfer purchases from ipod or iphone

Using a PC with Vista. Installed iOS 5 this morning. Cannot update either ipod touch 3g or iphone 3g with software update until "prior purchases are transferred to itune" - unfortunately every time I try to "transfer the prior purchases" Itunes closes completely. I've been working on this for hours now. Anyone got any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks.

Your Post is a bit confusing

If you are using iTunes, you cant transfer purchases in the iPod to the Mac, you need 3rd Party Software.

COPY MUSIC FROM IPOD TO IPHONE

How can I get my music from my ipod to my iphone?Also calendar, photos etc

Music: If it's not already on computer iTunes, you need a 3rd party tool to transfer the music from iPod to computer. Syncing is one way only Computer -> iPod, iPhone, iPad (Exception: music purchased directly from iTunes using Apple devices can transfer without 3rd party tool).

I've just upgraded from 3GS to Iphone 4, payment meth declined??

Hi
I've just upgraded from a 3GS to an iPhone 4. I succesfully transfered everything. A few apps needed updates, no problem I thought.
How wrong was I??! Its says I need to authorise my account as its been accesed from a different device, fair enough, I entered my details & it says my payment method has been declined. So I tried another account, different card etc same problem! I have money in both accounts, & Im not trying to purchase anything!!
This is doing my head in, apps need updates & I was fancying a few new ones but I cant get any. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are the photos that you are referring to part of a camera roll, photo stream or are they simply photos that you have synced from your computer via iTunes.

Can you transfer music from ipod to iphone 4

Can someone tell me if it's possiable to transfer music from ipod to the iphone

You cannot.
Everything that is on your ipod should be in itunes on your computer. Just sync it to the iphone from your computer.

How can i transfer my songs from iPod to iPhone

how can i transfer my song library from ipod to my iphone 4? the library on my computer from itunes is loaded with all my kids songs so i'd just like to transfer the songs on my ipod.

You cannot copy content from your iPod directly to your iPhone. It needs to be copied from your iPod to an iTunes library first and then synced the iPhone.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

If I upgrade from my old iPhone to a newer one, what info will I lose?

This is a different situation than usual. My daughter needs to upgrade from her iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. She is afraid she will lose the text messages and voice mails from her boyfriend, who died in June. Her 4 is essentially falling apart, so it's time to switch. Is there a way she can save the text messages and voice mails from her old phone to her new one? She's never used iCloud, since she syncs her phone on her MacBook Pro via iTunes. ot a
I am not a techie, so please use plain English.
Thanks.

In her situation you can also get programs that will extract content from an iPhone backup in iTunes. This would be a good way to archive the texts. And you can also copy them from the phone itself using 3rd party software such as TouchCopy.
I am sorry for her loss; it is especially tragic when young.

How do I upgrade from a 3G iphone and an ipod touch to our new I4's?

My wife and I have both upgraded phones to the I4. She had a 3G and this is my first iphone. With the upgrade in phones, we also upgraded our desktop to a new imac. Our old imac didn't meet system requirement for the I4 and it was time.
We'd like to keep the old imac and not migrate all the information to the new one. However, I need to move our iphone/ipod files to the new imac so that we can sync our new iphones.
I have updated all the software on both imacs. I backed-up the 3G and then tried to restore with the I4 on the new imac, but my apps didn't come along and I lost the utilities app. I was thinking of erasing and reformatting back to factory settings.
Can someone help me with how I move all of my iphone/ipod files to the new computer and then sync the new phones?
Thank you,
Aaron

3rd party apps are stored in your iTunes library or media folder along with all other iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts.
Copy and transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new Mac. Copy the iTunes named folder in your Music folder and with iTunes quit on your new Mac, place the iTunes folder in the Music folder. This will replace an existing iTunes folder in the Music folder. You also need to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.

Upgrading from Touch to iPhone?

I love my Touch but would like the 3G internet everywhere functionality of the iPhone, so I'm thinking about upgrading. How easy is it to transfer all my applications, settings, ebooks in Stanza, etc. from the Touch to the iPhone? What will iTunes tranfer and what won't it transfer?
Thanks for any guidance on the subject!

Your email account settings, your Mac address book contacts, your Safari bookmarks will sync through iTunes, just as they do on your iPod. Applications will sync, but the data that they accumulate will not.
Don't know about Stanza stuff.
iTunes creates separate backup files for my iPhone and my iPod Touch. i haven't found a way (or a need) to combine these backups. That means, for example, that if I play a game on the iPhone and the iPod, the high scores and other game data is separate for each device.
