How to use an iPhone 4's backup on an iPhone 3G ?

I know it is weird but I have to switch my iPhone 4 with an old iPhone 3G. Problem, the iPhone 3G does not recognize the backup made from the iPhone 4 when I choose "restore from an old backup", even if it is clearly visible in preferences/devices. thanks in advance !

You're not gonna be able to do that, sorry.

  • How can I restore my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5?

    How can I use the my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to update all my apps on my new iPhone 5?  I just registered it and it is a later version of the backup.  Can I reboot it now that I have a more current backup from my iPhone 4?

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have already set up your iPhone 5 you will have to erase it and go back through the setup again.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you are restoring to you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How to use the same apple id on two different iphones with different sync?

    Hi all,
    I own an iPhone 4s for personal use. Soon my company is going to give me a business phone and I can choose to have another iPhone. I'd love it but I don't know if what I wanna do is possible.
    Let's say I will have iPhone P (personal) and iPhone B (business) and Apple ID MyID.
    At the moment on iPhone P with account MyID I have application App1, App2, ... App9, I have contacts Cont1, Cont2, ...Cont9, I have songs Song1, Song2, ... Song9. All these are synced on my personal PC via iTunes and stored in the iCloud.
    When I'll get iPhone B I'd love to be able to use on it my Apple ID MyID and to sync it with my business PC (so NOT the same one I use for iPhone P).
    The configuration I'd love to have would be the following.
    iPhone P
    - Applications: App1, App2, App3, App8, App9
    - Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, ... Cont9
    - Songs: Song1, Song2, ... Song9
    iPhone B
    - Applications: App4, App5,App6, App7, App8, App9, App10 etc.
    - Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, Cont10, Cont11, ..., Cont20
    - Songs: Song1, Song2, Song10, Song11, ... Song20
    So will it be possible using the same Apple ID MyID on both iPhones to have this configuration? Some apps, contacts and songs in common and some differents?
    If so, how should I configure the two iPhones and the two PCs?
    Kind regards.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

    Must be a verified email address.

  • HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

    Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
    Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

    They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

  • Does anyone know how to use music transfered from another phone to the iphone as ringtones?

    Does anyone know how to use ringtones that I put on my iphone from my previous phone? It went in as music and now I cant use as ringtones and figure out how to put it as ringtones.

    Two ways to do this:
    Download an app, such as RMakerPro, which uses music on your phone to create ringtones.
    Plug in to iTunes and find where your ringtones are listed. Drag them to your desktop, and then you will need to change the file type to .m4r, which can be done at www.freefileconvert.com.

  • How to use ipod touch when I already own an iphone on one computer?

    I have a dilemma. when I try to setup my brand new ipod touch I got for xmas, it says i must setup it up as new device or restore from backup. the problem is I use this computer to sync to my iphone 3gs.
    itunes wont let me sync to an ipod touch and an iphone on the same computer, its one or the other.
    if i choose to setup as new device, then when I sync my iphone it says itunes is synced to another device and must wipe my iphone clean or restore from backup???
    how do i use itunes so I can put movies n music on my ipod touch without it affecting my iphone?

    "Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time."
    exactly what do they mean when they say at same time? like i can not connect one device, sync it then connect another device and sync that one??
    hence my dilemma. this is from that link i read.
    i tried this and itunes fails
    what a terrible dilemma, sigh
    i connect the ipod touch and tell it to setup as new device.
    i sync some movies and playlists.
    easy enough
    then i connect my iphone...guess what? it says this is a new device, would you like to setup as new or restore from backup!!!
    if i restore from backup it puts the ipod touch playlists and all my contacts are gone
    it seems the only way to do this is, from reading that link, to create a new user in windows, and use this new user profile to manage ipod touch.
    so now i'm gonna have to siwtch back and forth between 2 windows accounts.
    what a royal pain in the butt
    why can't itunes just let me sync what i want to the device and not care what it has, so i can just add regardless if new or not.
    god i hate itunes.

  • How can I "selectively" restore my iPhone 6 Plus backup onto my iPhone 5?

    Hey guys,
    I have backed up my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB to my laptop and now I want to restore this backup onto my old iPhone 5 16GB model. But, I only want the Contacts, Notes & Apps from my 6 Plus Backup to be restored onto my iPhone 5 because my iPhone 5 16GB has too little storage and so the whole 6 Plus backup won't fit. How can I do this?

    I think you misunderstood my problem. I used to use an iPhone 5 until I got my 6 Plus. Now I haven't use my iPhone 5 for over a month. Thats why I forgot my passcode. So, is there a way to turn off find my iPhone by only knowing my Apple ID/iCloud Password?
    Yes.

  • How to use another SIM card with my AT&T Iphone

    I have to go in france and use a French office' sim card from another provider than AT&T. But here, I've got all my professional, and private, mail box and conatct on it.
    How have I to do in order to use this other sim card in my Iphone? I don't want to buy another cell phone for only few weeks in year !
    When I was in france my provider was agree to unlock my old iphone before leaving the country. that's why that was easy for me to use it in US with an AT&T sim card. But now, they change my oldest 3g with a new one, it is impossible for me to have the same situation ...
    and I'm a AT&T customer since more two years ...

    There is no way to use a phone locked to AT&T with another provider.  AT&T does not unlock iPhones for anyone.  Ever..
