Converting an LG non-smartphone to an iPhone 4s through iTunes?

My daughter is on our plan and she has talk and text only.  She has a basic LG non-SIM card phone.  She recently received an iPhone 4s and I understand that I can switch her over to that phone easily through iTunes.  Would I incur additional cost?  She would use the iPhone for talk and text only, but would like to access data through wifi.

You can't activate it as a phone without a SIM card, which requires a data plan. You can limit the plan, or even turn data off on the account, but it requires data.
itunes has nothing to do with your phone service.  It can't be used to convert he service to the new phone.
itunes is for adding music, games and utilities to the phone.  The iPhone is a very advanced PDO ( private data organizer)

  • I updated my iphone 5 through Itunes but an error occurred during installation on the phone that read -42110. Now the phone has a usb icon and itunes icon and is not recognized by itunes or my computer (windows 7). I uninstalled and reinstalled. no luck

    I attempted to update my iphone 5 through itunes. Itunes backed up the phone. However, when it tried to install the updated software an error message displayed -42110. Now the iphone is unresponsive with a usb icon with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon. The computer makes a connection noise when I hook the phone to the computer but it does not appear to be recognized. It does not appear in the My Computer section. Itunes does not recognize it either. I disabled my security software. I uninstalled itunes, Bonjour, Quick time, apple updates, Aplle mobile updates ect. I reinstalled Itunes and the program still does not recognize the phone.

    If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

    I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
    I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • HT1349 How do I view backed up iPhone info through iTunes?

    How do I view backed up iPhone info through iTunes without my iPhone being connected to my computer/iTunes?

    I am trying to save/back-up the data on my phone (pics, contacts, etc) before I get a new phone. I was told at the store that they can only transfer my contacts to my new phone. I do not want to lose all of the other data on my phone.

  • Upgrade non-smartphone line to iPhone 4S and then transfer to different phone line on family plan

    I am on a family plan where I have a smart phone and my father and mother have normal non-data phones.
    My line is not due for an upgrade until June 2012. 
    A verizon rep told me that I could use my father's upgrade to pre-order and activate an iPhone 4S and then re-activate my father's non-smartphone on his phone # and activate the iPhone 4S on my own phone #.
    Once activated on his phone number they will add the Data plan; but once I reactivate his old non-data phone I will no longer need the data plan.
    Will this work? I'm not sure the rep I spoke to understood that my father has a non-data phone when she explained this procedure.

    If you have an online account with Verizon Wireless, you can transfer the upgrade from one number on your account to another number on your account (for example, transfer the upgrade from your father's phone to your phone).
    Sign on to verizonwireless.com. Log in with your user ID and password. Click on My Verizon, and select Upgrade Device. Below each phone on your account, there will be an upgrade device date, and a link to Transfer Upgrade. Click the link and it will ask you which line you want to transfer from, and you can transfer the upgrade to your phone. You won't need to switch the data plan on your father's phone at all.
    I just did the same thing on my account to be ready for the new phone tomorrow. Hope this helps!

  • Synching iCal with iPhone calendar through iTunes on Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I've seen some threads on in similar matters but none of them related to this problem:
    I can't seem to sync my iPhone's calender and iCal throught iTunes. I CAN'T sync the two using iCloud, because I'm using Mac with Snow Leopard, which doesn't support iCloud.
    I'm using iTunes 11.1.4, and when I go to the info tab on iTunes in order to sync the calenders, there are no options to choose. It simply says: "Your calenders are being synced with your iPhone over the air using iCloud, Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
    I would rather not upgrade my OS unless I must. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.4 and iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4.
    Thank you for your help!
    Daniel

    Hi danielshachar!
    It sounds like the settings in your phone may be prompting iTunes to report that your contacts and calendars are being synced through iCloud. Use the information in the following article to adjust this setting so that you can sync your contacts and calendars through iTunes instead:

  • I can't transfer songs purchased on my iphone 3gs through itunes to my windows 7 pc. I've done it in the past, but now I can't. What should I do?

    I have a iPhone 3gs and I purchased 30 songs and an audio book on my iphone through itunes.  I manage my own songs on my PC's itunes.  I tried to drag and drop my legally purchased songs and audiobook onto the itunes library on my PC.  It will not allow me to do this.  When I purchase songs on my PC through itunes, I can drag and drop songs to the iphone, but it won't allow me to do it from phone to pc.  I checked a number of sites trying to find an answer.  Many of them recommend updating the itunes version.  I started to do this, but at the beginning of the update it said I might lose files on my iphone since they weren't transferred to my PC library.  I stopped the upgrade, because past upgrades have wiped out all songs, ringtones, books and apps from my phone.  (The phone and PC are all authorized.) Could someone please tell me a simple straightforward way to copy the phone files onto my pc via itunes? 

    When conntecting to a public Wi-Fi conenction, here's what you do. I'll use the public Wi-Fi for Starbucks as an example. Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter on your Mac and choose "attwifi". When it connects, open your Web browser. You'll then be re-directed to a screen where you need to accept the terms and agreements when using the connection. Once you agree to the terms and agreements, you'll be granted access and you can surf the Internet.

  • Is there a way to recover iCal data from computer or iPhone backup through iTunes?

    I  synched my iPad  with my computer and my ALL of my iCal information disappeared from my computer. I tried put my calendar information back on my computer from my iPhone, but instead the reverse happened, and all of my calendar information disappeared from my iPhone, too.
    I am using an older MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.4, an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPod Touch, all using iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). I regularly use iCal on my iPhone and on my computer, but not on the iPad and iPod Touch.
    I do not use iCloud because my personal calendar and contact information was appearing on other family member's iPhones. (We share an iTunes library in under my Apple ID, and I did not want to create a different Apple ID for iCloud yet.).
    Is there a way to recover my iCal info on my computer? Or alternatively, could I recover it on my iPhone from my iTunes backups (my iTunes backups are encrypted)?
    Of course, I learned my lesson, and if I recover my data, I will back up my calendar daily, but for now, valuable information is lost, and I would like to recover it if at all possible.
    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You'll have to confirm with the developer of Keeper whether the data is stored as part of the iPhone backup or not. If it is, then restoring the iPhone from your latest back should restore the data to Keeper. My guess, though, is that since the free version of Keeper won't allow you to create a backup, the data is not part of the iTunes backup and hence won't be restored.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to delete pictures from your iphone 4s through itunes instead of deleting them individually on the phone?

  • I have had to update my iphone 4 through itunes and it has come up that itunes has found a iphone that is in recovery and needs to be restored, I cannot loose all my pics on my phone so need to know what I can do! My phone is not working now.

    I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
    I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
    My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
    Please help!!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

  • Synching iPhone Contacts through ITunes with Google Contacts.. DUPLICATES

    I have an iPhone 3GS and a Windows 7 Computer. I can NOT figure out how to stop the duplication (or triplication +)of contacts from happening every single time i sync my phone to my google contacts.
    I don't have outlook - so a few months ago when I got a new computer I set it up so my iTunes syncs my contacts with "Google Contacts". Not all my contacts, but some of them (no rhyme or reason that i can tell) duplicate everytime I sync. I've deleted directly from Google Contacts and also directly from IPhone - neither works. Any suggestions? My contacts lists on both ends are a mess.
    Oh - one other thing - I went into iTunes and pressed "configure" in the sync contacts section -- and it does nothing. I get no box that has settings. Is this a bug?

    Then you do not want to sync contacts directly with a supported application through iTunes on your computer. You should set up your syncing with google as outlined here:
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
    To get rid of your duplicates, follow the directions here:
    Deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply, and leave this deselected from here on out or the contacts on your iPhone will be duplicated again.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your Google account.
    Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. A warning message should be provided indicating this will erase all contacts downloaded from and being kept synchronized with your Google online address book along with an option to save these contacts locally on your iPhone. Decline this prompt.
    This will not erase the contacts synced directly with your computer via the iTunes sync process.
    Follow this by turning Contacts back on for over the air syncing.
    You will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
    This will get rid of the duplicates as long as you leave Sync Contacts deselected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Doing both is not required and does nothing but duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.

  • I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 through iTunes but says I'm not connected to the internet when I am.

    Hello everyone,
    I have the iPhone version 4.3.3 and I want to update to the latest iPhone software. With this version, I can only update through iTunes. When I plug in my phone to my computer and select the update option through iTunes, it sends an error messsage reading that I need to be connected to the internet to update my phone. My phone and my computer are both connected to wifi at the times I try to update, so I don't understand why I keep getting that message.
    I've talked to my phone company and they said it probably has to deal with iTunes, but they were not sure. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but it still didn't work. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on and also what I can do to update my phone?
    Thank you so much!
