HT4137 Using my new iphone 4s

I just finished backing up all my information from my old phone to my new iphone 4s. How do I activate the sim card?

The SIM card might need to be activated thru the website of the carrier you got the card from

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

    When I tried to activate my phone through ITunes it said I needed iTunes 10.5. I tried to download it and it wouldn't work. Do I need Snow Leopard?

  • I started using my new iphone 5c before syncing to iCloud and have lost all my messages. Can I get them back? Should I have registered the phone as 'new iphone'?

    i got my new iphone a week ago. i started using it straight away, before i knew about icloud and that i could sync all my contacts, etc to the new phone. i then turned on icloud for contacts - this worked fine. today i tried putting my music onto my phone. i clicked 'recognise a B's iphone' in itunes - this has synced music and apps. the only problem is that i have lost all my text messages from the last week. the phone is showing old messages from december 2012 only! can i delete these and get my recent messages back??
    thanks.

    You did more than sync the new iPhone with iTunes since syncing with iTunes does not include text messages.
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the device as a new iPhone.
    The former replaces all data on the iPhone that is included with the selected backup for the other iPhone or iOS device. The latter does not.
    If a backup for your new iPhone was not created with iCloud or if created and has been updated since the backup was transferred from the other iPhone or iOS device, the previous data on the new iPhone is gone.

  • How can I use my new iphone 5s in Brazil?

    I just got a new iphone 5s as an upgrade from AT&T here in the US.  I am going to Brazil and I want to use it there.  I spoke with AT&T and they said that since I am under contract, I cannot unlock it, therefore I can't use it in Brazil.  This seems ridiculous that I can't use my nice new phone when traveling!  Anybody know how I can unblock it so I can use it while in Brazil?

    Only AT&T can unlock it. If the won't you cannot use it in Brazil except by paying roaming rates.

  • AT&T Used My OLD AT&T SIM Card; Should I insist they use my NEW iPhone SIM?

    Hello all!
    I got my iPhone 3G at an Authorized AT&T store. It bothered me then, and it bothers me now, that the rep simply pulled my existing AT&T Sim Card from my RAZR and put it into the iPhone 3G. Was this purely to save time?
    I'm not experiencing any problems, and there is no 3G network in my area yet, but I thought I read something on the internet that suggested there are reasons to use the newest SIM Card that shipped with the iPhone 3G instead of my older card as the newer SIMS are a more modern architecture and better equipped to work with the iPhone 3G. True?
    Should I return to the AT&T store or Apple Store and have them prep my iPhone newer SIM card? What would YOU do?
    Thanks!

    That may well be true - and thanks for your reply mainsano13 - but I have the ability to sync from my MacPro back to the new iPhone anyway. But what you say is probably correct and they wanted no liability for losing my data. But, I still wonder, if I should go back and ask them to transfer my old card data to the newer more modern (and one assumes) improved SIM card technology.
    Thanks!

  • HT1689 how do i sign into my itunes account using my new iphone?

    I have a brand new iPhone 5 does anybody know how I can log onto my iTunes (I cannot find a log on area)(But I do have the Itunes app downloaded on my phone. So I can view all of my muisc I have in the Apple iTunes Cloud.

    Thank you everyone with the help.  You guys are totally cool.  However, because I am new to this for some reason I have a few thousand songs I have in the Itunes cloud I was only able to see 167 odd songs.  It does show my log in thou.  Probably the best thing to do is to go into the Apple store in Santa Rosa and get some help.  The Apple people will make it look simple on my beginer mistakes.  All is ok thou, this is a cool phone I just need to pratice and get use to things.

  • Can't use my new iPhone 5 cause of incorrect software!

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook 4,1 using OSX verion 10.5.8. I have just purchased an iPhone 5 and I have tried to restore this to my iPhone 4s' last backup but it says that I need iTunes 10.6.8 or later. I have tried to download this but it then says that I need OSX 10.7. I tried to down load that but it says that my Mac does not need any new software upgrades?!
    So, basically I have a phone that I cannot use and a mac that doesn't seem to want me to!
    Any ideas on how to fix this so my iPhone 5 can get up and running?
    Many thanks,
    Kizz11

    You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    You need to upgrade to 10.6. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Mac OS 10.5 Leopard became obsolete in July of 2009. Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out because the App Store which came out with the 10.6.6 update was required to download Lion.. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.

  • HT204053 Old Apple ID used with new iPhone OS, how to sync and use new Apple ID?

    My iCloud account on my iPhone is my old Apple ID. My MacBookPro and iTunes are with the new Apple ID. I updated my iPhone with the new operating system and my iCloud account was with my old Apple ID and wouldn't accept the Apple ID or password so I had to skip the step where it synced my FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. How can I change my Apple ID on my phone so it reflects my Apple ID on all my other devices?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • How do I start using my new iphone when my OS is out of date?

    My iPhone 3G broke (shattered screen) so I ordered a 3GS.  When I tried to use the iPhone 3GS it said I needed to upgrade my iTunes and I tried but in order to run the newer iTunes I have to upgrade my OS from Tiger to Leopard.  I ordered snow leopard but it probably takes two weeks to get to Hawaii.  My new phone will be cancelled if it isn't activated in two weeks.  How do I start using it sooner?  

    Go to an Apple store or an AT&T store, they will activate the phone for you, although you won't be able to sync it with your computer.

  • Need help with final stage of getting my iPhone 4 unlocked from 3 mobile uk. Please help me leave three and be able to use my new iPhone 5

    I have requested to have my iphone 4 unlocked from three uk. When I receive instructions from them, do I need to connect to my own iTunes or can I connect to someone else's and/or does my contract with three still need to be active for me to unlock or can I cancel before I unlock, I have already paid the £15:32 by debit card. I am currently running iOS 5.1.1
    As more background, the reason I want to find out is because I'm away from home and because I expected my phone to be unlocked well before now (three are seriously useless) I requested my PAC code before Christmas and it expires on Sunday so I would love to transfer my number tomorrow before I have wait another 30 days to cancel my contract with three.
    I'm not sure if they will unlock my phone in time or if I will be able to do it whilst not having my Mac. Can I transfer my number and then unlock my phone afterwards? I will be reunited with my Mac on Monday.
    Thanks in advance

    Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
    You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.
