Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?
Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!

Yes, you can do that.

I didn't back up my old iPhone when I got a new one. If I put my SIM card in my old iPhone and backup everything, will it transfer over to my new one?
Just back it up to your computer using iTunes By connecting it to your compute, launching iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up (transfer purchases of prompted). Then restore the iTunes backup to your new phone.

I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?
Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off. -
How can I back up and restore my manually managed music from an old iphone to a new one?
At present, when I go to restore from a previous back up, my music is never transferred to the new device. I assume this is because I have the manually manage music option selected.
Is there a way to back up and add the same music and playlists etc from old iPhone to new iPhone without selecting the box that transfers everything from itunes?
As I have far more music than my iphone could ever take and I only want a selection. So if there is no way of doing this then I have to do it manually everytime? A very long winded task to go through entire itunes library picking it all out again!?!
Any help would be appriciated!?Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future! -
how do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod?

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. -
hey apple users. if i deactivate my iphone because i got a new phone, can someome else put thier sin card in my old iphone and then it will work again? or does the phone stop working all together if i deactivate the phone on the support page?
Do this first:

Then whoever gets the phone just sets things up again using their Apple ID. -
Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?
Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work. But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

Can I buy a white iPhone 4 and put my sim card from my old iPhone 4 in it?
Can I buy a white iPhone 4 and put my sim card from my old iPhone 4 in it?
Yes.
Back your old phone up in iTunes first. Then after you swap the SIM card into the new phone, connect the new one to iTunes and choose "Restore from backup." It should replicate everything that was on the old phone, right down to most of your settings and text message history. -
Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?
Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

how can i transfer my deta from my old iphone to me new one withat wifi
Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

Make a backup of the current phone, and restore the new phone from the backup. When you do that, your new phone should be a mirror image of your old phone.
