Giving my wife my 3G and activating/syncing my new 3GS - sequence questions

I would like help understanding the proper sequence of actions i need to do to successfully pull this off. Here's what my goals are:
I want to give my current 3G, which is synced to my iTunes, to my wife with a blank slate. She has a seperate iTunes account and would like to take the empty 3G and sync it with her account.
Of course, i also need to transfer all the contents of the 3G to my new 3GS before i do this. Then i want to sync up my new 3GS to my iTunes and....well, you get the picture.
I am confused and anxious about getting all this right...authorizing, de-authorizing, restoring, syncing, etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, here you go...
First, ensure you have a good backup of your 3G on your iTunes account. Next, sync your new 3GS and when it connects you'll be asked to add a new phone or restore to a previous backup... choose your 3G backup and wait for the restore to complete. Once completed you'll then need to re-sync all your content (music, videos, audiobooks, apps, etc) to the new phone. Once all that is done your 3GS should look just like to 3G did and all your settings, texts, etc. should be intact.
Then wipe the 3G by going to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. Once this is complete the phone will be ready for syncing with your wife's iTunes account on her PC.
BTW, this is exactly what I did since I gave my former 3G to my wife who has her own PC and iTunes account. It all worked flawlessly.

Best way to Securely publish OWA and Active Sync

Hi Guys
Just a quick question what is the best way for me to securely publish OWA and Active Sync in Exchange 2013, I have 1 CAS server and one MB server both on my lan but i have 443 open to internet and would like to make it more secure by putting maybe a reverse
proxy or OWA device in my DMA, my setup is small sub 200 users so cost is a factor, what is the most economically way for me to do this with the least amount of work and complication
I know ISA/TMG is now extinct and i dont want to use any linux reverse proxies etc.. just a simple solution that will publish these services securely that is easy to support going forward and inexpensive.
Thanks in advance
Spudney

What exactly are you looking to secure? If all that you have open is TCP 443 that is a tight setup already.
You'll have to state the business requirements you are looking to address - and for a 200 user org I suspect that they will be very different from a large enterprise.
Take a look at this pls:

Can the new pre installed apps in iPad 2. Like garage band, iMovie be sync back to i tune, and then sync these new apps from ipad2 to the old iPad 1?

Can the new pre installed apps in iPad 2. Like garage band, iMovie be sync back to i tune, and then sync these new apps from ipad2 to the old iPad 1?

GB and iMovie pre installed?
http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/
Click: Browser All Built In Apps
iMovie and GB must be purchased.
If you have installed GB and iMovie on the iPad 1 and synced using iTunes, just sync the those apps to the newer iPad with iTunes. No re purchase necessary with the same iTunes account.

Quarter hour appointments and Active Sync

Hello, I want to say sorry if this is a duplicate post but I was unable to find a resolution. I have a user using the current $99 iPhone 3g connected via Active sync to the company Exchange 2003 server. He sent me some screen shots of his Outlook and iPhone calendars. The Outlook calendar has some quarter hour appointments that appear to show up on the half hours on the iPhone calendar. (A 10:45 appointment appears at 11 for example.) I am wondering if this is the normal behavior for quarter hour appointments and if it is not is there a way to correct this issue? I have already had him remove his calendar from the activesync setting and add it back.
Thanks for any help!

Not sure why you're seeing that. I'm also using an iPhone 3G and ActiveSync with an Exchange 2003 server. Events that I create in Outlook or on the iPhone which start at :45 are displayed in the Day view as starting 3/4 of the way through the hour. If the event is only 15 minutes in duration, it starts 'on time' but appears longer (e.g. an 11:45-noon event looks like it runs from 11:45 - 12:15), to accommodate the text height.

Problems in using Msync with IPAQ 3760 and Active SYnc 3.5

Hi,
Environment :-
IPAQ 3760
Windows NT workstation
Active Sync 3.5
I am using Active Sync 3.5 which does not need RAS
configuration on the machine.
I am unable to run msync.exe. It does not give any errors
messages.
The 9i lite documentation talks about RAS settings.
If anyone has faced similar prob coudl you please let me know
the solution.
regards,
Sonal

You do not need to make a RAS connection with Pocket PC 2002,
because now ActiveSync itself makes an IP connection, and
Oracle9i Lite just needs an IP connection for synchronization no
matter how you establish it. Hi, I also experience the same problem. Using PocketPC 2002 I have a pasthru connection. Ik kan browse on the Internet with Internet Explorer, so the connections works.
mSync just seems to do nothing. When I press the Sync button, nothing happens (not even a progress bar).
Any idea?
Thanks,
Bas.

More email issues - OS 10.1.0.273 and Active Sync

I can't believe I am back on this forum with another email issue (I am also a victim of the email wipe issue. I updated my Q10 OS to .273 and now my active sync account won't connect. All other emails work fine. According to Rogers, this is a "known problem" and can be solved by using SSL/port 443 however my company uses Exchange2003 which doesn't have access through port 443.
Seeing the lengthty list of known bugs/issues on these forums, I assume a solution from Blackberry on this "known problem" is months away at best. The easy solution would be to reverse my OS update and switch back to the prior version which worked but Rogers claims this is impossible on BB10.
Before I make the dreaded decision to give my Q10 back and get an iphone or droid, can someone help with my OS rollback. Any BB techs reading this who can make the old OS available on their website?
As a side note, its mind boggling to me that BB10 has all these issues with active sync. They made a strategic decison to force non-enterprise small businesses off of BES servers into active sync - you would think they would have made sure it worked first!!! (beyond these bugs, there are basic functionality issues like the oft quoted issue of not syncing deleted folders with exchange2003 which most small businesses still use). Either they have to fix these issues fast or make some sort of free BES10 express available or they are going to lose their small business customer base. It becomes clearer everyday that BB10 just doesnt work with Exchange2003 active sync.

To the Developers,
its seems that things have gotten worse, and if you really needed someone to test your update, you could have called me...
I can't send subsequent text messages to contacts without waiting 3 minutes for the first to send.
solve this issue ASAP
Kind Regards

Backing up 3G so I can put apps and content on my new 3Gs

Hi, I will be getting a new 3GS soon and I was told by the at&t salesperson I can back up my current 3G on my itunes so when I get my new 3GS I can add all the content:music, apps, contacts and so on. Can someone please tell me how to back up my current 3G so I can do this when I get the 3GS???
Thanks,
BILL

You are already doing this when your sync your existing iPhone with iTunes.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
Your iPhone's backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.
All your iTunes content - music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps should be available/remain in your iTunes library on your computer.
Photos in your iPhone's camera roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contact info and calendar events are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 for contact info and calendar events, or with the address book used by Windows Mail (Windows Contacts) for contact info only.
When you connect your iPhone 3GS to your computer and iTunes the first time, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for your iPhone 3G to your iPhone 3GS. After the backup is transferred, you must sync your iPhone 3GS with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps from your iTunes library, and the same for any photos you have selected to be transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

App Icons Mismatched after syncing up new 3Gs

Has anyone else had this problem. My apps are on my new 3Gs but some, not all, have the wrong icon. For example, my Remote app show the icon for a jigsaw puzzle app but says "Remote" under the icon. The app appears to work just fine. Same thing for my Kindle app -- wrong icon but the app works fine. Thoughts?

It may work for some. I tried this on the other thread as seen with other iPhones on 3.0...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044341&tstart=0
Doesn't seem to fix it for me. Any fix that I've seen is only temporary and for some reason or another the icons revert back. The only trend I've seen is that generally the first 3-4 pages of icons are correct, with most after that being screwed up. Moving a screwed up icon, even after re-installation does not fix the problem however. Removing the App via iTunes or the phone and then reinstalling it via sync does not seem to work.
Any ideas anyone? This is truly frustrating.

Exchange 2013 CU2 - Mailbox Databases and Active Sync - update when new item arrive

Hi,
Maybe it will be a silly question but I don't know what exactly is going on. We are running Ex2013CU2 Evironment (1 CAS, 2 MBX Servers with 4 Mailbox Databases).
User mailboxes are in MDB01 and they are allowed to connect to mail via activesync and everything is working great (I mean that auto notification on mobile when item arrive is working).
When we move user mailbox to another database ex. MDB02 -> "auto notification when item arrive" does not working, but manual synchronization is working great.
Does anyone have any idea why it is behaving like this or what should I check to fix this ?
Thanks.
-- Kamil Tatar

are you saying PUSHMAIL is not working after moving the mailbox to a different database?

Qosmio G20-118 and Active Sync via bluetooth

I cant make activesync to work when connecting my Pocket PC (With Windows Mobile 2003 second edition) via bluetooth. Can anyone help or post a link to a help page?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Amaro

Hi
As far as I know the Pocket PC must be in the cradle.
1. "Tap" on start and choose the ActiveSync program
2. Then "tap" on "Tools" and choose "Options" in the ActiveSync Program
3. Check under "Enable synchronization when cradled using" to see if the setting is on Bluetooth
Important: Please remove the Pocket PC from the cradle and then return it to the cradle.
This activates the new setting
Bye

I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes and after syncing the new ipod, I was unable to get the majority of my songs. They all appear with an exclamation point. Even the ones purchased on itunes. Why?

I purchased my daughter the new ipod. I downloaded the latest version of itunes. After syncing the ipod, all my songs appear grayed out. They have an exclamation point next to them. Even the ones I purchased from itunes. How do I get my songs back?

Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
   If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
   If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
   Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
   I hope this helps!

Am trying to sync my new 3gs to itunes.Says "iphone in recovery mode.Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes" Am worried bout doing this as phone came with a note saying " Do NOT restore or update software on itunes when asked otherwise

Am trying to sync my 3gs to itunes,keeps coming up with a notice saying! iphone in recovery mode. Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes.
Am really worried about doing this as the phone came with a note enclosed saying "Do NOT restore or update iphone software on itunes when asked to otherwise unlock will be lost"
Is it safe for me to restore or will it block my phone?
Can anybody help me please?

Sounds like you purchased a phone that was hacked to run on a network other than the one it was originally locked to.
Where, exactly did you get this phone? If it's already in a state where it says it must be restored, you don't have a choice. If the phone was hacked, it will be re-locked to the network it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking the phone.

Does the E71 work with Microsoft Active Sync or no...

Hi,
Can anyone help please.
I need to Sync the E71 with my work email, the company runs Exchange servers.
I've read countless messages and posts about the E71 and Active Sync and I still can't understand if it works or not. I know the specification says it supports Microsoft Active Sync but does it work?
Can anyone give me any tips, advice or any downloads that are required?
A guy at the office has an E63 and he cannot get it to receive his work emails. The IT department have tried and say it just does not work.
Any pointers would be very welcome!
Many thanks,

Hi,
Nokia E71 supports Active Sync Protocol, to Sync your Personal Info with your corporate Microsoft Exchange Account, you can install Mail for Exchange (An application from Nokia to receive/sync your corporate mails) which works on the Active Sync protocol. Log onto www.businesssoftware.nokia.com or go to Downloads in your handset & download the Mail for Exchange application. Install it in your handset, then contact your Company's IT Admin to configure the account & enable you to receive/sync mails with your corporate account. For more info on Mail for Exchange, log onto www.businesssoftware.nokia.com
