Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

Can I save music from my itunes macbook to my iphone/ipad mini via home sharing?

Or can you only play it in your home with the home wifi?
When I plug my ipad into my Macbook an error message comes up "The ipad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 of later.
My Macbook is running itunes 10.6.3 and won't seem to accept 10.7, so now I can't put any of my music onto my iphone, ipad or ipod!
I would love some help with this ... I hope I don't have to buy a new computer with the latest operating system to enable me to put my music on my other devices.
I am hoping a way round this is to save content while the home sharing is on so that I can play it when I'm away from my home wifi?
Thank you!

You can only play music from the computer when you use Home Sharing. You cannot download music to the I pad with Home Sharing.

How can I get messages on both my iPad and iPhone?

When I send text messages on my iPad, they do not sync with my iPhone, or vice versa. How can I resolve this issue?

Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At. Use the same Apple ID. Make sure the phone numbers/email addresses you want to receive messages at are checked.

Can you delete images from both the Library and backup folders at the same time?

Is there a way to delete images from the Lightroom Library module and also have it delete the corresponding file in the backup folder?

Consider using a regular backup program, or plugin like TreeSyncPublisher which will assure backups are deleted along with sources.
If you really want no junk in Lr's 2nd copy storage, then delete everything there (or maybe just the older stuff), after making such "true" (synchronizing) backups.

I have apps on my old I phone which I now use as an I pod touch. I want to use my aps on both my new and old I phones. How do I use the same aps for two pieces of equipment?

Can anyone help?

You can sync as many ipods/iphones as you like to one library/computer/account.
open itunes
plug in one device
choose the apps to sync from the apps tab
sync
unplug device
Do the same for the other device(s).

When I edit a contact's email address and then type the name in the Mail App, I see both the new and old address. Why don't I see only the new email address?

When I edit an email address in the Contacts App, and the type the Contact's name in the Mail App, I get both the old and new contacts. Why don't I get only the updated email address?

Mail remembers previously used email addresses for a period of time. Those you no longer use will eventually disappear. After you have sent one or two emails to the new address the old address will move below the new one. Then after a period of time not sending to the old address it will disappear. Patience is the key.

Differences Between New and Old iPhones

Other than data connection speed, is (are) there any real big difference(s) between first and second generation iPhones? Are there any apps that won't run on my first gen (which is up-to-date with version 2.1) phone? I'll eventually upgrade, but I'm recently retired, and trying to take it easy on my wallet, plus I'm real happy with my current phone, so later is preferable to sooner in doing so.
One specific area I have a question about is "built-in" GPS function. Am I right in thinking it is the same on both old and new phones, as long as both are running the version 2.1 operating systems? Will any add-on hardware modules (either currently or being) designed to provide "true" GPS navigation by attaching to the 3G phones connect/work with 2G models as well?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

The first generation iPhone you're referring too doesn't have a GPS chip at all. Instead the 2g relies on using cell phone towers, (3 to be precise), to triangulate your signal and estimate where you are based on that. While the 3G GPS is far from perfect in location tracking itself, it is in theory far more accurate than cell tower triangulation. You will also find that most of navigation apps available in the app store will specify that they're designed for the iPhone 3g as it has a GPS chipset and the 2g version doesn't.
I hope this helps clear it up for you

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.

If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

It's either that, or you call AppleCare & have them fix.

I can't save photos from text messages and cannot access keyboard

does anyone know why i can't save pictures from text messages received and why i am unable to access my keyboard to type out messages?

When you press and hold on the picture...it does not give you an option to save the image? Also for the keyboard issue...go into settings/application manager(it may also say apps/manage apps). At the top scroll over and select all. Scroll down and find messaging and tap on it. If you have an option to clear data and force stop then select them(it wont delete anything). Once done go back in the list and see if you also have anything that says keyboard or android keyboard and do the clear data/force stop on that also.

HT4859 Think I set up my new iPhone in correctly and didn't get chance to set up from last Back Up of old iPhone - so didn't pull my Apps and previous messages across. Any way I can start again.
