Going from my 4 to the new 6 today, any tips?

So my new iPhone 6 16 gb space gray is out for delivery, actually mine and also one for my wife, we are both coming from the iPhone 4.
This is the first time I have ever pre-ordered a new iPhone, especially setting the alarm to get up when pre-order started ugh, in order to get one on release day. But I did it successfully, and today we will have our new devices. And, this will be the first time I have ever gone through activating my new iPhone myself.
So what I have done so far, is a complete backup to the iCloud of each phone. I am assuming that is all I really need to do.
I also understand there is some sort of set up assistant that will walk me through the process of setting up/activating the new phones when I first power them on? I presume this will allow me to restore all my stuff from iCloud, and activate the new phone while de-activating the 4?
Probably dumb questions, but when we got our first iPhones, which was the 4, we just went to the Verizon store and they did everything there for us.
Thanks for any tips...

I'm very excited for you, dburne! Thanks for reaching out. The good news is you have already taken the most important step in getting your new iPhone 6 up and running: You backed up your personal data. Awesome! And yes, the new device will include activation instructions. And we'll be here to help if you need us. Enjoy!!

Google seems to change their login security occasionally, and apps that assume it will work a particular way get left out in the cold till they are updated, since the login process is hard-coded into the app.
Here is the automated e-mail I received today from Google when tried to upload a movie using iMovie.

Hi, I have an iTunes account on my laptop set up to work with my old iPod. I now have an iPad and new iPod but set up under a different account- can I put all the songs from my iTunes onto the new devices. Thanks.

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50. How do I stop this from happening.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section. How can I stop this?

Thanks for responding.
I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

How can I delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8

How can I delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8 when it doesnt give me the option to delete the photo itself? The icon of the trash doesnt appear what so ever. This is the only thing im dissapointed in the IOS8 update. Theres not even a camera roll where you can delete the photo like the IOS7

Try this:
1. Start from the homescreen of your Iphone/pod (for dummies: where all of your "apps" are).
2. Look for an app on your homescreen titled "Photos", when you find it - Click it.
3. When the app opens, go ahead and look towards the bottom of your phonescreen.
     You should see a navigation with three different options;
       "Photos", "Shared" & "Albums"; Why don't you just go ahead and click on "Albums", there we go - Very nice!
4. On the next screen that appears, it should display your different albums.
     Look for "Recently Deleted", and when you find it - Click on it.
       It should be on that list somewhere (or there's a problem!).
5. Now you should see a screen displaying all of the recent photos you've deleted.
     The term we know as "recent" to iOS is thirty days (that's 720 hours in people-time!).
       You will have to click to each individual photo, however at the bottom left-hand cornor of every photo take notice of the 'Delete' option.
You're welcome.

My iPad is stuck--when I tried to install new IO7 (auto-invite) it stuck at the Agree/Disagree page. How do I get it going, get unstuck, or dump the new OS?

Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

You should have been syncing your contact with your computer all along. Just sync them from the computer to the new iphone.
