3gs to 4s transfer

trying to convert from 3gs to new 4s and settings and text threads didn't transfer. Where do I find the process to try again?

I restored a backup from the 3GS and it brought over call history, contacts, photos, music, even texts, but the texts are not associated with the contacts they were from..just show the phone number the text came from.  any thoughts?

  • Iphone 3gs text message transfer

    Hi, my little sister passed away at Christmas and I am trying to safe and/or transfer her text messages on my iphone 3gs, I have a 7 yr old MacBook.  Sorry I am a bit of a 'techno donut'!! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you, Livvy

    Hi Livvy,
    If you need another option to save the text messages, I've used decipher text message in the past to save my mom's messages when she passed away. I also took screenshots at the time too just to be safe since I was afraid about losing the info. Hope whatever way you go that you are able to save your sisters info.

  • My iphone 3Gs won't transfer new appointments to a shared ical and will only receive 3 out of 4 calendars when connected via itunes to our imac.  Help!?

    Usually I just connect my phone, itunes opens automatically and the phone syncs.  It downloads any new appointments from my husbands updates into my phone from the computer and updates the ical on the computer with my new appointments.  This system has allowed us for a whole year to keep a joint family calender.  One phone still works but not the other.  Any suggestions would be greatly apprciated!

    I should add that I get the message "iTunes could not sync calenders to the iPhone because the iPhone disconneced".  My iPhone is still connected and my husband uses the same cable successfully to sync his phone with our computer.  My apps, contacts, music etc. all sync without any problems.  Thanks again anyone who can help

  • Transferring apps from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 4. I already have an iPhone 3GS which I still use. I wanted to download some of the apps onto the iP4 but it won't let me. Does anyone have any ideas or can't it be done? I have looked at similar posts but they aren't exactly what I am after. We have just purchased a new computer as well and I have got into the home sharing also. I have been able to transfer apps purchased on iP4 to the 3GS but not the other way around (i.e. any app I purchased over the last year or so on 3GS won't transfer to iP4).
    When I go to sync the iP4, it will let me sync the contacts, music, podcasts etc but the app section is greyed out and can't click on anything. The picture of whats on the screen of iP4 is greyed out as well.

    Please disregard everyone - it is now working and I have transferred the apps. Fyi, the only thing I did differently was to use the new phone's cord and not the cord I originally had for the 3GS. The original cord downloaded all the other things fine, so I am not sure why the cord supplied with the iP4 made a difference. Maybe the wiring is slightly different between the cord for the 3GS and iP4 - I am not sure.     

  • IPhone 5 Wifi Passwords not working: Unable to Join

    I have an iPhone 5 OS 6.0.2 and am unable to join wifi networks except the one at home. What should be my first step? Restore from backup or reset network? How do I reset the network? (I hesitate to do that in case I then have trouble joining my home wifi.)
    Will reset network also reset my carrier's network?
    When I got this phone I used my 3GS iPhone to transfer all data.
    When I first got my iPhone 5 it had trouble even connecting to my carrier's network. I would get a no service and then it would connect to my carrier after a few seconds. I got a new iPhone and it did the same thing and it is still doing it. Is my wifi issue related to this issue?

    Go ahead and try to reset your network settings first. You can do that by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. This will make your phone restart, and delete any wifi networks listed in your phone. After your phone restarts, see if you can connect to your wifi at home. If you can, try those other networks. If not, you may want to try backing up and restoring your device. If THIS fails, you probably need a repair done through your warranty.

  • HT1473 sync voice messages from iphone to itunes

    My iPhone 3GS will not transfer all of my voice messages to my iTunes in my Computer. Could use some help please.

    You can always re-download the item (an app?) when in iTunes without additional cost.  You can also connect the device to itunes, choose the device from the device list and then from the iTunes menu (the File menu??) you can select to sync new items from the device to itunes.

  • IPhone bluetooth synchro error with 2009 BMW 7

    My iPhone does synchronize with the iDrive system of a 2009 BMW 7, but about 10 to 20% of the contacts (always the same ones) are not synchronized. Is this a known issue? Any solutions? Thanks

    I have a 2009 with the new iDrive and the 3GS does not transfer contacts over bluetooth and does not charge. Everything worked perfectly before with my old 1st generation iPhone. Anybody know if Apple or BMW are trying to resolve this?

  • 2 Iphones on one MacBok Pro?

    I have my IPhone 3G, that I synchronise on my MacBook Pro. My wife would want an IPhone too, but I would like to synchronise that one on the same MacBook. Is that possible? And what if I want to make the new Iphone (probably a 3GS) mine: can I change the name of my older Iphone somewhere into my wife's name and data and set her as the new owner?

    While I am still a little new to the Apple world I will say that you can use 2 iphones on one computer. I have a 3G and my son has the 3Gs. We have DIFFERENT USER and ITUNES accounts on my imac, and with being on separate accounts have no problems.
    I would check with an Apple genius on this but I think to give your wife the old 3G you would first BACK UP the 3G to YOUR itunes account, then restore it to factory settings which will delete everything on the 3G, have her set up a NEW USER and ITUNES account in her name on your Mac and understand she will have to start fresh with no music library, mailboxes, contact lists, photos. For the 3Gs you would transfer the information from your itunes account to the new iphone.
    I'm sure someone with a little more knowledge will chime in with more information.

  • Unable to move rented movies from iPhone4 to iTunes

    Hello,
    I am looking for some advice. I rented a movie on my iPhone4. I have not watched this movie yet.
    I'd like to move the movie from my iPhone to AppleTV.
    When I sync my iPhone, the rented movies do not appear in the movies tab within iTunes.
    Sync movies is checked and the capacity bar at the bottom of the screen says I have 2 videos. I was exoecting the movies on my phone to be listed in the movies tab.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    On iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer. On iPhone 4, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer only if they were rented in iTunes on your computer. Movies rented on iPhone 4 cannot be transferred to a computer.
    You don't list what version of the iPhone you have.

  • HT1926 cannot find folder iTunes.msi

    cannot download itunes cannot find folder itunes msi. any advice please just backed up my iphone 3gs but cannot transfer to 4gs because do not have the latest itues software aftraid of losing my back up.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Need help syncing contacts FROM iPhone to Address book

    I'm trying to help my dad out here. He's got about 300 contacts on his iPhone that he wants to transfer onto his computer so he can have a saved/printed copy of them. I've tried to set the contacts to sync in iTunes, but it only resulted in wiping all the contacts off of the phone, which causes me to waste an hour restoring the iPhone from backup so he doesn't kill me -_____- I don't care about copying contacts from Address book to his phone, just from his phone to Address book. How do I do this?

    I have a similar problem which should be easily fixed with the steps described but those are not working. I just got a iPhone 4GS and im trying to take the contacts off of my 3GS and onto my adress book so I can sync the 4GS with adress book and get all my contacts. I created the "dummy contact" on adress book and have tried to sync my phone a couple of times but it doesnt work. it just syncs the dummy contact onto my 3gs but doesnt transfer the contacts from my 3gs onto the adress book on the computer. it also doesnt give me the option to "merge". the kicker to this is that at the bottom of the "sync contacts with adress book tab" on itunes it tells me that my contacts are "being synced with mobileme over the air" when mobileme DOESNT EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.... help please! thank you

  • How to transfer purchased video from iPhone 3GS to computer?

    Hi all,
    So I just bought an iPhone 3GS, my first iPhone, and I've also done my first purchase of TV shows off of the iTunes store. (Series 2 of Torchwood as well as the recently aired Children of Earth.) I did the initial purchase on the iTunes store from the phone itself, not realizing that I couldn't actually download the episodes onto the device since that'd take ages over the 3G network. But I did see that I could download the HD episodes to my computer and the SD ones onto the device.
    Fine, I think, I'll take my iPhone home and pull the episodes already download off of it onto the computer...
    ... only I can't find any way to do that. I have seen that I can download episodes directly to the computer and sync those down to the iPhone, but this has caused duplication of episodes; for example, I wound up with two copies of episode #3 of series 2 because the one coming in off the computer didn't actually override the one on the phone.
    To further confuse matters, episodes 1 and 2 have vanished off the phone and I can't figure out if this is because I've watched those on the computer...?
    Anybody got any ideas? I'd like to be able to free up space on the phone by pulling the five episodes on it onto my computer, so I won't have to download those twice. Thanks in advance!
    Anna

    Nope, Transfer Purchases didn't work for me at all.
    I wound up emailing Apple Support directly for help and they couldn't give me an answer as to why that wasn't working either. But we did eventually reach a workaround of them unlocking some of the duplicate downloads for me so that I could do them again on my computer, while also deleting the files directly off the iPhone in manual mode. Not an ideal solution, but it did at least give me a way to get all the episodes onto my actual computer.
    Thanks to y'all who've already answered.

  • How can i transfer my current itunes library to my new 3GS?

    Hey;
    i would be grateful if anyone could help me transfer my current itunes library synced with my 1st gen Touch to my new (ordered) 16gb 3GS?
    this probably seems like a stupid question but i am hardly an itunes expert!
    thank-you...

    If you don't switch your computer, just connect your phone and sync with itunes like you did with your old iphone. Your music, apps and other media content should be present in itunes.
    If you bought some media using your phone, transfer your purchases before. Right click on your phone in the device list and choose transfer purchases.
