Can i recycle my old iPhone for a discount on a new one like I can with iPods?
I'm going to by an iPhone 4, but I was wondering if I can recycle my old iPhone in for a discount. I know I can do that wit iPods. If you turn in your old iPod and get 10% off the purchase of a new one. Are iPhones the same?

Not with Apple. Apple has no such promotion with iPhones. In the US, RadioShack has a trade-in program for iPhones. Perhaps there are similar promotions with other retailers/carriers.

Old iPhone is Being Associated W/ my New One
My brother is using my old iPhone 4. I have a new iPhone 5. He has a different phone number than me and he bought a new sim card.
I got a message that his number is now associated with my email? Whatever is happening, our phones are crossed. We get all the same messages, his contacts are synced to my phone and vice-versa, same with photos. I am going crazy.
I am not in the same city as him, I cannot see what he is doing on it to make this problem happen.
Please HELP.You did not clear your iPhone before giving it to him, so you are still sharing the same iCloud account. The only solution is for one of you to get a new iCloud account. Which means that you will need to re-purchase all content.

Now i can give my wife my old iphone and i will get the new one
both of us will be very happy...thanks apple...win win...peace

and no i do not feel apple screwed me over by making improvements on their product...EVERYONE knew this was coming and made the decision because they needed it the way it worked as a 2g phone...and for all we know the 3g may have a flaw and the old phones will be hot commodities...Ummm--you're taking the new phone (from what I can gather from your post) and giving your wife the old phone. HOW IS SHE GETTING A PHONE THAT COSTS "a couple hundred less"?????
YOU ARE GETTING A CHEAPER PHONE...she's just getting your "cast-off".
It's nice that you're giving your wife your "old" phone...but it's not special and you shouldn't feel especially proud. If you didn't have a wife...what would you do with this phone when you get the new one? -
Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.
You're welcome.
I would advise against that for the reasons I provided.
Could I have my iPad 2 for the new one paying the difference between their values?
No. Sell the existing yourself and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPad. -
I am using my old iPhone for playlist for my Dad's funeral as that meets the crematorium requirements. Some tracks - uploaded from personal CDs to MacBook Pro and successfully transferred to new iPhone (with small doc) won't transfer on syncing. Most do, but why won't some, of my own music sync when others off the same album and in the same playlist do? I have now checked the storage, freed up 766MB, how can i not sync (and get everything i've just deleted back) but upload the required tunes? All help appreciated, many thanks x x x

I bought and downloaded the Ricky Gervais' Audiobook series "A Guide To" last year off of my old iPhone. Since i bought my new iPhone the audiobook dont show up in my purchased items list. Is there a way I can retrieve them without having to pay again.Ty
Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge. You will need to have the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer so you can sync them to your new iPhone. If the audiobooks are not in iTunes and you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think it's a 4. Thanks
Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.

When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search? The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one> IPhoto 09
Thanks, that makes sense. If I do a search in IPhoto I find it. I have 6 grand children and also have had my camera for quite awhile and it starts file names over again after 10,000 pictures. (I don't have all these on the computer) but now I have some files with the same name ie img_4 and img_4
Thanks again for your help!!
