Can I switch back to my old iPhone from Droid?

So, I had an iphone for two years and loved it. When my contract was up, something possessed me to try a Droid. Well, now I am experiencing major remorse. I want my iphone back. I still have the old phone. Can I switch back to it? I know that Droid and iphone use different kinds of cards or something, so I know it's not as easy as replacing a sim card, but is it possible? How much would it cost? Thank you!!!

Before you decide to change back, bear in mind that the iPhone 3G is not supported for the latest iOS version so you will be out of the loop for some of the more recent features available to 3GS and iPhone 4 unless you upgrade your hardware to 3GS or 4.

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.

You would need to check if you made a back up of the iPhone on iTunes/iCloud before you restored from the ipod touch back up. If there isnt then im sorry that data is gone.

HT1533 How can I switch back to Mac OS X from Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I'm having problem switching back to Mac OS on my Macbook Air. It's currently running Windows 7 bootcamp without a Mac OS installed with it. I tried booting up on Mac OSX installer disc (Snow Leopard) on the external CDROM drive but it boots to Windows instead. I tried the Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows and Restart to Mac OS X but it could not find an OS X intalled and I tried changing the startup disc to the installation disc on the CDROM and restarted but still goes to Windows.
Please HELP!
Thank you.

The MBA did not ship with an OS on DVD because they don't have an optical drive. There are two kinds of OS disks - commercial release, which for Snow Leopard is 10.6.3 I believe, and machine specific. If your SL disk is gray it isn't going to boot your MBA because it isn't made for the MBA. If your SL disk has a cat on it look at what specific version it is. As I said, I think it is 10.6.3 and while I wasn't able to find out what specific OS version your MBA shipped with, I'm pretty sure it was a version later than 10.6.3 and if I'm right your disk isn't going to boot the computer. You'll need to either contact Apple for a valid replacement installer or find someone with a Mac who can make a valid installer on a USB drive or DVD.

I just updated to ios 7.0. I really don't like it! How can I go back to the old iphone software?

Hello! So I updated my iphone 4s software a few days ago to the ios 7.0. I really don't like it! The calendar is the worst part of it! I used to love the calendar, notes and clock/timer app on my iphone! Now I hate the new layouts and how they work! Is there any way to go back to the older software on my iphone?

I was in the same situation. Today I went to my wireless carrier's store and upgraded my hardware to iPhone5. It comes with iOS 6.1.4.
I had backed up my 4S before foolishly installing iOS7, so I was able to recover all the apps, most settings, etc., as usual, in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

How can I switch back to OS X Lion from Mountain lion?

I have a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4, and it stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Instead of music coming out of the speakers, it is a repetetive crackling noice and the track stops and goes. I just want to downgrade so I don't have to worry about the problem until they come out with an update. I have a performance coming up and I need everything to work! Thanks.

Actually you are right, i ll stay on Mountain Lion. I have a problem with AppStore here is the link of my problem i post it a few minute ago.

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!

The error means that your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update process.

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.

Got this problem with backing up my new iPhone 5 from my other IPhone 4 data. After changing to my new IPhone 5 I haven't backed up my old IPhone in almost a year. Now I want to sync all the data of the old phone and I can't do neither backups. Help!!!!!

Every time I started to at least restore the little data left on the very last update I made in the old phone at Itune It continualy kept trying to restore and at the end a message will appear saying that an error had occurred and restore was unable to complete. Please I need help on this. I got over 2,000 songs in the old phone and I don't want to loose them. Thanks!

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GS

Greetings Yushk,
It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When I switch back to an ongoing application, from the switcher, it reverts to its own 'homepage' rather than the stay at the state/stage I left it at. How can I force applications to maintain the current state?
