Can you transfer iPhone 3GS to the 4S?

Does this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109) still work moving from a 3GS with IOS4 to a new 4S with IOS5?

According to Walt Mossberg, IOS5 will be available for a 3GS phone.  That would allow an upgrade to IOS5 on the 3GS, backup, then restoral to the 4S.

  • Can you charge iphone 3gs on macbook

    Hi my iphone 3gs will sync when i connect to usb port, but it will not charge from my macbook, this is the first time i have tried it, since my 7 year old imac just died and used that for all my itunes and apple tv server any ideas ?

    With the new A/V cable you get a USB port for charging during viewing.
    The line out jack on the dock is for audio. You can dock your phone and have it hook up to your stereo or speakers.

  • How do you update iphone 3gs to the latest software?

    I really want to update the software of my 3gs (currently running ios 4.1). If anyone knows how to, plz reply asap.
    Thanks

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

  • Can you sync Iphone 3gs to 2 computers?

    I have a computer that I put all my songs on then got a laptop for christmas so I downloaded Itunes to it and started using that Itunes. I bought games and songs and everytime I try to sync the songs it makes me delete my old songs hat I downloaded from my old computer. If you know what I can do please reply.
    Thanks.

    No. The iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with some iPods which allows for manually managing music and videos with an iTunes library on more than one computer.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.

  • Can you install iPhone apps on the iPad with ios5?

    We have many, many apps that are under iPhone but worked fine on the iPad. They are under purchased and say they are installing but never show up. How do I get these back?

    They are not hidden via any restrictions that you've set in Settings > General > Restrictions e.g. app age ratings (and you haven't got Installing Apps set 'off' on the samerestrictions screen) ? Do they show as installed in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app ?
    You could try a reset and see if they show after the iPad has restarted : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

    I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

    Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT1414 If you did a back up on your iphone 3gs will the contacts and apps still be on the back up?

    If you did a back up on your iphone 3gs will the contacts an apps still be on the back up?

    Backup do not contain apps (or any media).  As far as your contacts go, Apple isn't crystal clear on this ... they seem to indicate that only your Favorites and recent call history is backed up, not your entire set of contacts.  To play it safe, backup or transfer your contacts to your computer in case they do not come back after re-loading your backup.  There are apps available that can export/import contacts for you.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.
