How to setup my iPhone 5 again

Hello!
While setting up my iPhone 5, I accidentally pressed "set up as new" instead of "restore from iTunes". How can I set up my iPhone again or restore it from iTunes using my iPhone 3G's backup?
Thank you!

First, try resetting the iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't fix it, try recovery mode as follows.  Note you may have to try getting into recovery mode more than once:

  • Need simple instructions on how to setup/transfer iphone purchased on eligible line

    Scenario:
    I did not have an eligible upgrade for my line but I had one for another line under my plan; therefore, I went in and purchased an iphone for that eligible line.  The issue is that I actually "desire" the iphone for my line.
    Here is where my question comes in:
    I have seen multiple conflicting responses on how this should be done....some say to activate iphone on eligible line then re-activate old phone on that line, then move iphone to my "desired" line....others say just to activate the iphone on my "desired" line from the getgo...
    Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?
    I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.

    Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?As you stated, activate the iPhone on the eligible line, complete the activation, perhaps make a test call just to be sure it IS activated on that line.  Then turn it off.  Pick up your now inactive old phone, dial *228, option 1 and re-activate it.  If it tells you to call customer service or for some reason will not re-activate, then call customer service from a land line or phone other than the ones involved in the swap.
    Once the old phone is re-activated and the iPhone is deactivated, turn the iPhone back on and dial *228 option 1 to activate it to the # you actually want it on.  make sure the phone that is currently active on that number is turned off.  Again, if it doesn't happen, call customer service from a number/phone not involved in the swap and they can help you out.
    I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.
    Hope it all works out and the iPhone is all you anticipate!

  • How to setup stack files on desktop

    I just got my first macpro and accidently blew away my stacked files that were located on bottom rgt corner of screen. could not find in trash so do not know where it went ... just know that while dragging this stack across screen and released it I saw a cloud icon then it was gone. anyone know how i can get it back or how to setup a stack again...should be easy?

    Items in the Dock are just aliases (shortcuts) to the actual files/folders somewhere on the computer. I can't remember exactly what is on the right side by default, but probably the Downloads folder or the Documents folder.
    If you want a stack in the Dock, just drag a folder from the Finder to the Dock and the OS will make an alias to the folder in the Dock. When you drag off the dock, you are deleting the alias to the item. if you control-click or click on hold on the folder in the Dock, you can choose the display options that you want it to have.
    Stacks only exist in the Dock. You can't move them to the Desktop.
    If you want an alias to a particular folder on your Desktop, cmdoptdrag the folder to the desktop. While you are dragging you will see the alias badge (a swooped arrow) indicating you will create an alias, not move the file/folder. Keeping things on the desktop takes up lots more resources than other folders, so it is not a good idea to put a lot of items there.

    how to setup iCloud into my iPhone 3GS ?

    Have you installed iOS 5 on your iPhone 3GS?
    If not - then connect it to iTunes, and prepare yourself for a very big download!
    It will give step by step instructions once iOS 5 is installed.
    Cheers,

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

  • How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I'm using gmail. Prompt respond for mails is very urgent for me.
    How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I switched from a BB to an iPhone a few days ago and I knew I was going to miss the QWERTY keyboard but then I also discovered that my GMail doesn't 'push' to my iPhone. I was used to 'push' for all mail accounts on the BB. I also missed being able to personalize text, email, and phone tones for individuals.
    I tried the Gmail app for iOS and it does deliver Gmail to the iPhone app quickly but the text is tiny and when it is a web page it's almost impossible to read.
    So, I have worked out a kludge to get around these problems.
    I added my exisiting Gmail account to the iPhone.
    Hotmail does push to iOS 7 so I created a Outlook account (could be hotmail or Live) using the web browser.
    I added the hotmail account to the iPhone. I basically use this to give fast notification of important emails on my iPhone.
    On my macbook email client I created a rule that 'redirects' incoming mail to the hotmail account. The 'Redirect' is important since the email will show up in the hotmail account on the iPhone as coming from the original sender and you can then respond to the original sender from the iPhone, though the sender will see it as coming from the hotmail account.
    The other downside is that you will get a second copy of the email in the gmail inbox on the iPhone, probably 15 minutes later.
    If you don't want all of the mail being redirected you can create a 'redirect' group in the Address book and then adjust the rule in Apple mail to only redirect the mail to the hotmail account if the sender is in the redirect group. You can add and delete contacts from this group depending upon which ones you consider to be important. You will still get two copies of the email on the iPhone, one in the hotmail inbox and one in the gmail inbox.
    You can prevent this from happening temporarily by turning off, but not deleting, the gmail account on the iPhone. You could then edit the emails on the Apple email client before turning the gmail back on in the iPhone.
    And finally if you use the VIP feature in email on the iPhone you can create a list of VIP contacts and then assign a different notification sound for the VIP's. So in effect important contacts mail will be redirect to the iPhone for quick notification and very, very important contacts will have a different notification sound.
    I'm basically using the Hotmail account as a notification  tool and basically delete all the emails in it since the original copy will be in the gmail account.
    And best of all it's all free, except for the bandwidth.
