8 year old daughter wants my old iphone just for apps, video, and stuff
I recently got the new 3Gs and deactivated my first gen. iPhone. My daughter wants the first gen for games and stuff. Will it be sufficient for me just to manually delete contacts, itunes, and other personal and business info not appropriate for her viewing on the old iPhone?
Thanks.

You can manually delete the data you want removed, or on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings.
This is a secure erase, which will take an hour or two, so have the iPhone connected to a power source when doing so.
Afterwards, you can give the iPhone a name for your daughter, and transfer the 3rd party apps/games that you want your daughter to access, the same for music and video. Each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes.
In order to install a firmware update on this iPhone or to restore the iPhone with iTunes if needed or wanted, you need to have the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when activated.

Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard
can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard
Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
1. I wiped it
2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
3. It registered
4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM. -

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...
If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

I have had my Iphone 5s for 2 months and all the fotos and data (fotos and data were not backed up) that I had were erased after I restored it with my old Iphone 4s backup, can I get my unsaved fotos and data back? and if I can, how?
If you never backed up your phone to iTunes and never backed it up to iCloud all of your content is gone forever.

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud. -
Made a new iTunes address, and added new payment details, old apps won't update because my old signin pops up! Even tho in settings on on first page it's my new name? How can I remove the old signin name even if it takes all apps paid and free with it!! Don't care if I have to lose all previous apps just don't want to be hassled with updates!
You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!
Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

Hi there. How were you able to solve it? I have a one year subscription to EW and I was able to receive a couple of issues. But now, I cannot download the new issue anymore. Please help.

I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me. So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone. What is the easiest way to do that
Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about? Any ideas on how to resolve this.
Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional. -

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it. If that still fails to correct the problem, take or send the iPhone to Etisalat for replacement.

I want to buy iphone accessories for my iphone5, so that my iphone 5 can be more functional and more perfect.Anyone have any idea?
Here are some suggestions based off of what you'll be doing on you're iPhone. I recommend doing a search on Google since there are tons of accessories and everyone has their own preference in color, style, etc.
Listening to music - Bluetooth wireless speaker
Brands that carry these accessories: Jawbone Avantree, Kinivo
Watching movies - Get a case where the iPhone stands horizantally.
Brands that carry these accessories: Speck, MiniSuit
Taking pictures - iPhones camera is top notch. I would recommend enhancing it with these apps
Snapseed - Image touchups
Over - Typography
KitCam - Image touchups
Pic Collage - For collages
Pic Jointer - For collages
Instagram - Image sharing
Earphones - I think the ones from Apple are the best.
LG Tone - Good wireless headphone.
Dre Dre's Beats - Very popular.
Riding bike
Satechi's Bikemate
