Deleted old iPhone update, now what?

I received an error message during the new iPhone update 1.1.1, and I read some of the discussions here about removing a previous iPhone update (iPhone1,11.1.1_3A109aRestore.ipsw) to allow for the new 1.1.1 update. I did that and the update worked, but I am not sure - do I need to keep that other update, or should I just toss it? Thank you!!
P.S. My update worked just fine after deleting the file above.

It won't do you any good to keep the old update since you supposedly cannot revert to it anyway. Trash it and empty the trash.

Deleting old iPhone Updates

My wife and I both have an iPhone 4 and we are using the same iMac with two accounts to update the Software (4.01. / 4.0.2).
The 4.0.2 - Update has had more than 500 MB in Size and iTunes downloaded it twice - so 1 GB of HDD - Space lost on that update alone.
Is there a way to delete the old Updates while of course not making iTunes forget that it is installed?

I believe it does incremental backups (only backs up changed data) so those older backup files contain data that hasn't changed since the date of the backup. If you delete them you will not be able to restore the data that hasn't changed in a while.

I deleted my iPhone, and now I'm missing many iCloud contacts

I had to erase my iPhone (long story) and after doing that, I noticed that many contacts were missing. No problem, I figured, I just have to make sure I'm syncing to iCloud and I'll be fine. WRONG! The contacts are now missing from iCloud itself. This is very frustrating. I just cleaned up all my contacts (deleted old ones, updated new ones, etc.) and now many are totally missing, and some of the old ones I deleted are back.
To be clear, this is not an issue with my phone. This is on iCloud.com. The reset of the phone is simply what made me notice it.
And to anticipate what I may be asked: (1) In my Contacts on my Mac, the contacts in the "on my mac" section are showing up, when yesterday they weren't there. (yesterday I could only see iCloud contacts) (2) I did a Time Machine backup about a week ago, so that could get me my missing contacts, but still won't help with all the work I did recently. (3) My last iPhone backup (to my Mac) is over 2 years old. I've been using iCloud, so didn't see the need for a hard backup.
Not sure why/how resetting an iPhone would affect iCloud (which should be operating independently) but it seems to have done exactly that. I'm stuck. I need those contacts back! Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Update: I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup. That "sort of" worked. (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.)
This is good news, but I'm losing progress. How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

HT1414 I just got a replacement iPhone 5 (64MB) for one with a cracked face, and tried to restore it. Got an error message saying the iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the iPhone. Now what?

I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.

I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

Are you updating over wi-fi, or cellular data? Or through iTunes. If you get the mesaage that the update is not available . Make sure you have the correct date and time on you phone. then try again.

I've found an iPhone 5c, now what?

I've found an iPhone 5c, now what?
I can't access it, and it's not activated, so I can't make a call, or see any information about it, or get contacts.
Now what?

Why? Trying to find the owner.
The IMEI is printed on the device. Quick web search found the carrier. Quick phone call to carrier found the previous owner's record. Didn't take long, just can't seem to get a message to the owner. Working with local officer now who's off duty.
Why waste tax money to find the owner?

Delete old itunes updates

I need to know if is ok to delete old itunes updates from the computer, cause I have like 4 already plus the ipod updates, and my computer is getting slow. I don't know if everytime i update it creates a new Itunes and copies all the songs. Please if someone could tell me if it's ok or not.

Do you mean iTunes or iPod updaters like in the .exe files? Newer iTunes install over the old ones, right??
I would burn anything off to a back up cd first.
I once Uninstall some of the older iPod updates and ran into a small problem, so nice to have a back up. Paula

Delete old ipod updates

Is it ok to delete old ipod updates, but keep the last update.thay take up close to 1gig of space.

Yes, you can delete them. They aren't needed once they are used.
Keeping the most recent updater is a good idea.

HT4623 I update my new iphone with the data of my old iphone. Now every email is post twice. Can someone tell me how to correct that from happening?

I purchase a new iphone. I backed up my old iphone and moved the data to my new iphone. My new iphone shows my emails twice every time a new email comes up. How can I correct this issue?

Just to make sure - You're saying you had backed up your iPhone 4. When you plug in the 3GS, and try to "restore" the data from the iPhone 4 backup onto the 3GS, you get that error? Check to see if the iOS version is up-to-date, and hopefully it isn't. It might also be because your iPhone 4 wasn't, and is causing some sort of problem.
Good luck!

Can't Delete old iPhone Backup off of iCloud backup storage

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S, I restored the 5S using the recent backup of old 4S. Now I am getting "out of cloud storage space" messages on my new 5S phone. I went into iCloud backup storage to delete the 4S backup, but, it says it is in use and cannot be deleted at this time. I have attempted to turn off iCloud backup on the old 4S phone, shutting it off, turning off iCloud backup, but, get the same failed message when attempting to delete the old backup.
What is the trick to removing this without wiping the old 4S, because I want to be sure there is nothing left on the phone, before I completely wipe it...and I can't tolerate the "No more space in cloud storage" message that keeps popping up on the 5S.
Thank you,

That should clear up on it's own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Wait a few days and try deleting the old backup again. If you want to back up your phone in the meantime, manually back it up to your computer using iTunes (click Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings).

Had to delete my iPhone backup, now my iPhone will not even register in iTunes. Help?

I deleted my iPhone backup because I kept getting an error message related to my backup whenever I synced my iphone.. so I followed what Apple said to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
The backup is now deleted and my iphone will not sync or even show up in itunes and I don't know what to do. : (

I also tried everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 and it didn't work.

Two questions: getting first iPhone & deleting old iPhone backups?

Here's the deal.
My neighbor has 'paid' for his old iPhone 4 through AT&T and is getting a new one. He's going to give me his old one. It will be my first smartphone (and, naturally, my first iPhone). I've backed it up for him using my computer before and there are a bunch of his apps in iTunes which I would like to remove. So my first question is, "how do I get rid of that backup"?
I've downloaded the iPhone 4 manual with iOS 4.x (which he has running) and I think I know how to go about updating and resetting the phone. After I get it updated to iOS 6.x, I'll be going to the AT&T store and finding a good (cheap!) plan that fits my lifestyle.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks,
Clinton

On the phone, follow the directions here:

Then set things up using YOUR Apple ID. Any old backups, delete: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Also delete any & all content, in your library, obtained with his ID.
