HT201269 if you backed up an iPhone 3g and transferred it to an iPhone 4s will this work?
coz im worried im switching to 4s soon but my contacts is all i need really.
Your contacts should be in Outlook (Windows), or Contacts (Mac). iPhone do not backup your contacts.
You need a 3rd party tool to extract your contacts to computer.

I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?
Depending on the model of the Blackberry & the carrier.
if the blackberry didn't have 3G or a 3g sim card (depending on the carrier), then the SIM is probably too old to use and would require a new SIM.
The data plans on some carriers specify a blackberry data plan and an iPhone data plan, and they are not interchangable, so the carrier would have to switch that.
Usually since iphones come with a SIM preinstalled, some carriers may tell you the SIM card can't be transferred between an iphone and another device. -
Transferring iPhone backup from PC to Mac - will this work?
Hi,
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am almost done with transferring everything from my PC to my Mac after a long full day and a half of backing up, reformatting external hard drives etc.
I have read to transfer an iPhone backup from PC to Mac you need to do the following:
If you are a Windows user, open the Start menu, click on "Computer" and then navigate to the "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" directory.
And then:
Click on the "Finder" icon and navigate to the "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" folder on the Mac.
I did the first step just fine, but when I tried to find the folder on the Mac by both manual navigation and then a spotlight search, it wasn't found, so I went into the Library/Application Support and then created a new folder with the name MobileSync and a subfolder 'Backup' within that. Will this work?
If not, could someone please help me on how to get my iPhone backup onto the Mac.
Thankyou!Hi this username has already been taken,

HT1766 Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected?
Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected? My daughter thought she had backed it up, but hadn't and she already has her new one turned on. She has thousands of pics and contacts she wants to put on the new one.

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?
What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

That America unenhanced and sim unlocked iPhone 5 will it work in Turkey?
That America unenhanced and sim unlocked iPhone 5 will it work in Turkey?
If you purchased an officially and fully unlocked iPhone 5 from an Apple store in the US, then yes, it will work in Turkey.
If you did not buy your phone from an Apple store, then it will be sim free rather than unlocked, which is different, so it probably will not work.
Also, you need to remember, that yes your phone will work with local sim cards if it is unlocked, but you won't be able to get any 4G or LTE cover because the frequencies differ from the US to what is available in Turkey, so you will have an iPhone 5 with 4G capability that you can't use - only on 3G.
You also need to consider the warranty issue. The warranty for the iPhone 5 is only valid for the US if you buy it in the US, so if anything goes wrong with your phone, then you'll have to go back to the US. No shop in Turkey will help you with it because of the US warranty.
If you want an iPhone 5 then buy an unlocked phone from an Apple store in Europe and then you will get an EU wide warranty and you will be covered and chances are that you will get 4G and LTE compatibility too as it is Europe.
Apple stores in Paris and the UK sell unlocked iPhones. Not sure about others. -
While on reading a post on Facebook my new ipad 4 will reset back to safari or aol and i have to sign in again. this is a reoccuring problem. i have the latest update installed already.
1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo -
So, I am travelling to Italy next week. I am from the US. VW's "Trip Planner" suggests my iPhone 5s will not work there. Then, they suggest (via options below) that I can send Txt for $0.050/txt and Receive for $0.05/txt. How can I confirm which is true?
We are here to help! Where are you traveling to? How long will you be there for? What kind of services are you looking to use?

My iphone 4s will still work and is still turned on but the screen will not light up. its completely black and my top button is broken.
Apple won't replace an iPhone under warranty if the iPhone has been opened/tinkered with by you or by a 3rd party, but they may under Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price.
There is only one way to find out for certain. -

Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.
Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA. Keeps telling me "unable to verify address" and says it is sending me a verification link to my email address but I never get anything. Crazy.
After a while it tells then me that it cannot verify my email address because of a network connection ("Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again. ")

I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.
Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.
