Buying a new Iphone but Apple ID mistake

Hello everybody,
Last week I bought an ıPhone 5s. And I gave my brother the iphone 4s that I use to reset but forgot to delete the content settings. When opening the ıPhone 4s that I use old , apple ID and password to e-mail back. Every time I'm trying, but won't open. Because I changed my password when starting the phone that I bought new. In this case, what would I have to do? It shows my iPhone 4s mail but does not accept my password. A very annoying situation.
Please help me ! Thank you...

I would be very careful purchasing a used phone from eBay. So many phones are being sold that are activation locked. Without the original owners Apple ID and password the phones are useless.
I fixed that for you, and I had forgotten about that.

    Hey JustEhlan,
    Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:

  • HT1212 I have shattered my iphone 4s screen and cannot backup all the data through itunes because it is asking me to unlock it. I do not wish to repair the screen as I'd rather buy a new iphone, but I need the photos and contacts. How do I perform a backu

    P.S.
    I feel as though I am forced into repairing the iphone before I can backup the information (photos, videos, contacts). If the apple ID on the device is the same as the one on my iMac I do not understand why I have to unlock the iphone by typing in the 4 digit passcode. This is a little ******** as having the screen break seems to be the usual prpblem with the iphone, I want to be able to backup my files when I feel the obvious need to do so (eg. when it breaks)! I also believe I shouldn't have to use other apps for backing it up (which I obviously have to pay for).. I am rather angry with this issue.

    Okay folkes, you were right and I was wrong.. I admit it. But I was pretty mad though when I tryed to backup the last few contacts I needed for work and couldn't do so. Worst things are when something gets broken (by me or whatever) when there is an emergency. I needed the contacts off of that phone real fast and couldn't do it, thats what got me real mad. And btw I am a Russian living in Moscow and instead of having an official Apple store we have shopes called ReStore who resell apple devices with ridiculous prices, same thing with the repairs. It is cheaper to sometimes buy a new iphone then repair an old one.. So there.. but I repaired it and now happy again with my apple device.. Also I know the itunes and icloud are free and I do back it up, this time however I couldn't use them and had to try the iphone extractor app, which is not free. There.. Thanks for the attention every1

  • I have an old Iphone 3g and want to buy a new iphone but am afraid I will lose my contacts list

    I want to buy a new Iphone.  I currently have an old 3g.  I want to be sure that I don't lose the contacts on my phone.  I have some numbers on there that are not on my contacts list that is on my ipad.  How do I do this?

    To sync contacts to your new iPhone you want to first
    1: Connect iPhone 3G to computer with the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4.)
    2: From there click under the device summary and look for your iPhone.
    3: You should be on a page that should say summary on the top part of your phone where it'll say "Summary, info, music, applications, etc.
    4: Click on Info and then you should see a box where you can put a check mark next to the words, "Sync Contacts."
    5: Sync your contacts
    Option 2:
    1: Go to the summary page as described above and make a backup of your iPhone 3g onto your iTunes
    2: connect your iPhone 5 and then open up the summary page
    3: ON the summary page you want to click on "Restore backup" and select the backup you JUST made today (check the time stamp)
    4: THis should put all your contacts, pictures, and settings from your old phone onto your new phone with no issues
    HOpe this helped

    If the phone is locked to a carrier then you will need the carrier to unlock it And only the carrier can do that.

    What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
    - log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • So Apple is making it too hard to buy the new iphone, what is the next best

    The nearest apple store is about an hour and a half away for me. I'm told that to get a 3G I should show up at the store at around 7:00 a.m.
    WHAT? Apple thinks that they can treat longtime customers like this? I am appalled!
    I have already waited weeks to let the buzz die down a bit, But this is just nuts.
    My Dumb phone is dying, and I will soon buy a new phone, I wanted it to be the new iphone but I don't think that I will risk the gas and time to drive that far with a maybe.
    What do you think is the next best choice and why?

    The fact that I have spent my money on over a dozen Apple computers over the years sure should matter to them. But no, the other people should get good service also!
    I'm a little confused. Why do you think you're getting bad service and being treated badly at all because they recommended you come early to get the phone? The iPhone is a very popular item. A lot of people want it, and the phones are being made quickly and shipped out by the boatload to stores around the world. Apple has started opening their stores at 8am (that's two hours earlier) in order to help with demand, to make sure there is more store time to serve all the customers (is that not good service?).
    If the store is a first-come-first-serve situation, then you're being given exactly the same service as all other customers, and it's not bad service. It's just the best they can manage given the huge demand for this product. If you were running the store, what would you do? Ask everyone who called to bring all receipts to show how much they've spent at the store and the ones who spend the most get to come in first and get the iPhones while the rest wait? I mean, it'd be nice if all Apple stores treated everyone like kings: "Hello, sir, there's 500 people in the store buying iPhones, but we STILL have one for you, and a private table over there to fill out all AT&T forms. Would you like someone to wave a peacock fan over your head so you don't get hot? Come right this way...espresso?"
    I don't think they have enough employees or room for that. Not to mention iPhones.
    Now some stores have allowed customers to reserve phones. You might talk to your store manager, discuss your situation (the long drive) and see if this can be done.

  • How to repair the iPhone 5 which buy from New York but now I am in HK

    Probably not because the iPhone warranty is NOT international, but is country specific, so if you purchased it in the US, then it will have to go back to the US for repair.
    You can try and take it into a store in Hong Kong and see if they will help you, but if it is a US phone, then they have every right to refuse due to warranty cover and they also have different models if your phone needs replacing and they won't be able to give you the same model if the phone came to from the US and this is why warranty cover for the iPhone is country specific and NOT international.
    You can try, but you might be out of luck and if so, then there is nothing you can do except send the phone to any relatives that you have living in the US and see if they will take it to an Apple store in the US to get it repaired for you.  Otherwise you'll have to get it repaired on your next trip to the US.
    This is exactly why you should have thought very long and hard before purchasing a US iPhone and having exactly this situation where you can get nothing done about repairing the phone due to country specific warranty.
    The only other thing that you can do of course, is to buy a new iPhone from Hong Kong and then you will have no problem with warranty cover.

    Hi bellaluv2912,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If your iPhone isn't responding or starting up successfully, or is displaying an Apple logo and restarting, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • HT4528 I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    Verizon, like virtually all CDMA carriers will not activate a device on their network that was not sold for use on their network.
    To activate an iPhone on Verizon it must be purchased either directly from Verizon or from Apple (or an authorized reseller) for use on Verizons network.
    On AT&T and all other GSM carrier iPhones (including Unlocked iPhones) the CDMA antenna is disabled.

  • Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.
