Help! Just swapped from Blackberry to iPhone & drowning in spam

Just got 3g iPhone and set up my O2 pop3 account for email and getting crazy amount of spam - any advice gratefully received.
Thanks - Graeme

Advice? Get another email provider... you shouldn't have to deal with that. I had the same problem before I got the iPhone and I switched to GMail for personal stuff... I now get maybe a few spams/month. I would guess that Yahoo is just as good, although I have little experience with them. Both work well with the iPhone.

I've just upgraded from 3GS to Iphone 4, payment meth declined??

Hi
I've just upgraded from a 3GS to an iPhone 4. I succesfully transfered everything. A few apps needed updates, no problem I thought.
How wrong was I??! Its says I need to authorise my account as its been accesed from a different device, fair enough, I entered my details & it says my payment method has been declined. So I tried another account, different card etc same problem! I have money in both accounts, & Im not trying to purchase anything!!
This is doing my head in, apps need updates & I was fancying a few new ones but I cant get any. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are the photos that you are referring to part of a camera roll, photo stream or are they simply photos that you have synced from your computer via iTunes.

I need help deleting songs from my new iphone. The songs don't show up in library, they're unchecked and I've synced only the checked songs, but they're still on my brand new phone. I've swiped my finger to the left, and that doesn't work.

They have the icloud symbol beside them. Does that make a difference?

Hello Jensones,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone 5s. It sounds like you're seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud and do not have a delete option because they are not actually on your device. You can hide all these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone. You can find more information about hiding purchases here:

Need help: Debeating updating from 3GS to iPhone 4

Hello, all. I'm sure I'm not the first to have asked for help on this but I am debating upgrading from my iPhone 3GS (1 yr old this month) to the iPhone 4. I checked and I am eligible for the early upgrade so the cost for the 16GB is not much of an issue.
Here is my main concern: the network signal. In my house and in many other indoor locations, I am lucky to get 2 bars of AT&T service and most of the time have "Searching . . ." or "No Service" in that upper left corner. From what I understand, I am not the only one with this issue and it appears to be an issue with all iPhones across the AT&T network. I see that the iPhone 4 has a new antenna design that supposedly resolves this issue. Of course, the phone isn't out yet *but has there been any word on whether the signal is vastly better on the iPhone 4?*
I don't want to sign up for a new 2-year contract on a phone and have the same issues when I could just tough it out with my 3GS for another year or less until Apple FINALLY brings the iPhone to Verizon.
On a related note, does the early upgrade promotion only apply to pre-orders and/or to a small window of time after June 24th? I'd like to wait and see what new users think of the signal strength and antenna on the iPhone 4 before making that leap.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I understand, I am not the only one with this issue and it appears to be an issue with all iPhones across the AT&T network.
This is not an issue with ALL iPhones - with each and every single iPhone sold to date in the U.S. across the entire AT&T network.
There isn't a single carrier that guarantees reception when inside any building or structure. CDMA networks and phones are somewhat better in this regard, but can have the same problem depending on the building structure along with other factors. Up until a year ago or so, I had a business phone with Verizon which I carried with my iPhone. Had 1-2 bars of reception with Verizon at my house and I had to step outside in the back or front yard to ensure a call wasn't dropped. The same at my former office - had 4-5 bars of reception but there was something about the the building structure that was not good with Verizon's CDMA network and/or with my phone. Verizon's old "can you hear me now" commercials were most appropriate since I was saying that a lot with Verizon.
Didn't have the problem at both locations with my iPhone and AT&T, so I ended up having my Verizon number forwarded to my iPhone.
I don't believe there has been any word on if reception is vastly better or if any better with the iPhone 4 and the new antenna design, but I seriously doubt it is worse. More than likely this will be an improvement, which may be vastly better for some, or only a little or marginally better for others with a number of various and varying factors that affect this.
I don't want to sign up for a new 2-year contract on a phone and have the same issues when I could just tough it out with my 3GS for another year or less until Apple FINALLY brings the iPhone to Verizon.
You can return the iPhone 4 for payment credit less a 10% restocking fee if the packaging is opened within 30 days of the purchase data and cancel the new two year contract within the same 30 days with no penalty.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts the iPhone will not be with Verizon. Chances are slim to none that Apple would manufacture a CDMA phone for a single carrier only along with all the additional expenses associated with that vs manufacturing a phone for a single network that is the worldwide standard with the iPhone currently available in 88 countries for that reason alone.

How can i copy my diary from blackberry to iphone 3gs - this si my first iphone so not sure how to use anything at the moment but my diary is the most important bit i need!

how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice! I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!

You probably already figured this out, but....
The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again.

From Blackberry to iphone 3gs

I need some help. I am going from a Blackberry Curve 8300 to an iphone and I can't wait to get/use the iphone. I need to tranfer all my contacts to the iphone. What is the best way to do this? I don't have Outlook. My Blackberry currently backs up to my Windows PC.

Please help!!
Thanks,

Download/sync your contacts to a compatible program and sync to iphone.
From the manual:
"Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address
Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts,
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. ("

Moving from Blackberry to iPhone...

I'm going to upgrade from a Blackberry to an iPhone, and would like to know the easiest way to transfer my contacts and a few photos to the iPhone. I see on my BB on the menu for my phone book an option that says "SIM Phone Book." Does this put all my contacts on the SiM card, and then when I move the SIM card to the iPhone, all my contacts will be there?
I have a multimedia card in the BB; will this be compatible with the iphone, so that my photos can be on the iphone?
I'm not very tech savvy, and hope there's a very simple way to do this.
Thanks!

Hi there.......there is a simpler and much much easier way to do this (and not a lot of ppl are aware of this either).
I have just upgraded my package with O2 from my blackberry onto a new iPhone 5. The first question that hit me is 'how do I transfer all the sim contacts from my blackberry onto my new I-phone ???'
The answer is easy.... Download an app called ( INTOUCH ) onto your blackberry. When you open the app it takes a second to create a user account that is unique to yourself. once you open the app you can then sync all your current sim contacts onto there web server. then download the same app on your new phone (i.e iphone) which you can get on the app store for free. load the app up on your new phone then you can pull all your contacts down to your iphone and thats it ....it really is that simple!!
if you go onto google and type in INTOUCH app you will see the results that come up there. for blackberry users it can be downloaded on bb app world.
as far as im aware the app works on majority of devices, and the beauty is that once you've created an account, any handset you have wit he app installed on it, will automatically and simultaneously update the,selves on each phone with contacts you have either deleted or added etc..

How do I transfer calendar and contact info from blackberry to iPhone 5

I have a blackberry 9300 and just got an iPhone 5. Is there anyway of transferring all my contacts and calendar info over to the iPhone ?
Thanks

You can try apps like dropbox.
Or you can import those pics from your Android to your computer, then use iTunes to sync those photos to your iphone.

Activation Process from Blackberry to Iphone

Has anyone ported the cell phone portion of a Verizon Blackberry to an Iphone and kept the data plan with Verizon? Are there any special steps to get this done smoothly? Would it be easier to get new blackberry service with Verizon or someone else since I'll be charged with the early termination fee when I do this?
Thanks..

Thanks for the response. I do intend to purchase the data plan with my Iphone. I'm just concerned that since my Blackberry phone number is also tied to my blackberry data plan that this will cause issues during the standard activation process..For work purposes I need to carry a blackberry so I know that I will being paying for two data plans (actually one since my employer will pay for the blackberry portion).. I just want find out if anyone has done this and the smoothest route to get my Verizon Blackberry number on my Iphone but keep my Blackberry data on the blackberry device..

HT4436 Help Apple ID from ICloud to IPhone

Hi,
I created a new Apple ID, however the ID to access my email (icloud) from my iPhone, still shows the old ID. How do I change this?
I am afraid that if I hit 'delete account' my entire email will dissapear.
Your help will be apreciated.

You can't simply change the ID in your email settings, you'll need to create a new email set up.
