Do i have to charge my new iphone for 12 hours before using it?

Hi I am worried about my battery, I was told that i had to charge it for 12 hour in a row before I started using my Iphone 4s is. Is it true? What if i didn't do it?

No. Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. Just start using your phone, charge whenever you like, there is no memory affect & you can't overcharge. Read more here:

Howl long do i have to charge my new iphone 4s ?

how long do i have to charge my new iphone 4s ?

You can charge it up as much as you like. The battery in the iPhone does not have the "memory effect" that old batteries used to have. I usually charge mine untill the small whote battery with the lightning bold through it changes to just a small white battery. The green battery icon in the middle of the screen should show as completly full as well. Again if you don't have enough time to fully charge it, don't worry, it won't harm the battery.
I have done this since the original iPhone and have never had a battery give short life or fail.
Many people top off the battery several times a day.

ITunes doesn't see new iPhone for restore -- can I use recovery mode?

I am trying to upgrade 3G/iOS3.0->3GS/iOS4 on a Windows XP box with latest iTunes 9.2. I have backed up (and synched, but who cares) my old phone (3G). I expect, per various docs, that when I plug in the new (3GS) it will ask me to set up new, or restore, but instead it goes through some long registration dance (even though I've asked NOT to do this), which when I cancel out of (or even when I don't), I end up with the new (connected) phone not appearing in iTunes. I don't know what's going on, but I wonder, can I just bypass all this by putting the new phone in recovery mode and then doing the restore, or will that trash the OS as well (which would be bad, bcs the old phone is on 3.0, and the new one is on 4.0, so I don't really want the old phone's OS overwriting the new one! -- I guess I don't understand recovery mode, so I'm afraid of it.)

Update: Actually, I let the scary registration song-and-dance go through and it seems to have done the right thing (or, at least it's doing it as we speak...I'm sure you'll hear a loud scream if it fails!) But my question stands: Could I have don't this by putting the new phone into recovery mode and done the restore that way, or would that have done something untoward?
Give yourself a solved!!!!! LOL
And yes, Apple forces you to go through the registration process. It is what it is.
As for your issue on recovery vs. restore, I'm not sure what you mean. Aren't they essentially the same thing?

I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps and data to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. If I do a restore of the iphone 3GS I only get the 3GS apps (i.e. no facetime)

How can I transfer all my apps including saved levels in games etc. and data and folders to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. When I have done this for someone else they got all their data etc but lost the Face Time App and teh iphone 4 looked like the iphone 3 screen.

There is no FaceTime app for the iphone, FaceTime is built into the iOS. Follow the directions here:

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I have just received a new iphone 5s and need to set the Apple ID with my work email. I used my work email on my personal iphone 4s to set up an icloud account and it will not let me use this email as the Apple ID on my new iphone. As it is a work phone I need to use this email address as my Apple ID. How do I do this?

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars

I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

sign in with your apple id on the new phone, then go to app store - update - purchase - all/not on this phone and hit the cloud next to the app to downlaod.

I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have restored it from the last back up I did before I got the new phone, however, after I do the restore the only option I get is to click on "Done" at the top of the page but then no data or information from my phone shows up and when I click on the "iPhone" button on the top right hand side of the page it takes me back to the previous page and gives me the option to set up a new phone or restore again. I have just restored my husbands iPhone 5 and had no issues at all. They were both backed up on the same day last week.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Contact yor carrier. Your carrier may have some Mobile Insurance that you pay a certain amount per month to insure your device. Most carriers require you have the device less than 30 days in order to insure it. If your carrier is AT&T, AT&T has mobile insurance for only $6.99 per month. AT&T has open enrollment for their mobile insurance now. So anyone has an AT&T line can get insurance coverage for their device.

An out of warranty replacement will be of the same model, same capacity, same colour.

Not unless the phone was backed up to the icloud or in iTunes at some point. I know you said it's crushed but can it be connected to a computer? If so you can still back it up in iTunes and then when the new phone comes use iTunes to restore that back up on it.

Plug in the charger that came with it into the wall, plug in the USB connector on your new cable that came with the iPhone to the charger, plug the other end to your iPhone.
