I Got to Have Email Again on The iPhone 3G with iCloud But No Contacts

Hi. I have email working again on the iPhone 3G by creating a new iCloud account but it only has email unlike with the older account that was on MobileMe which had the option to turn ON the Contact, Calendar, etc. How can I add those options again on the new iCloud account I have on this iPhone? If I can have those options again maybe I can sync the contacts to the latest iTunes running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 so later my contacts and everything could be synced onto a new iPhone 5- it's sad and it makes it very difficult or impossible that Apple just left the older iPhones without no way of syncing it's contacts and other things form the iPhone 3G (It runs the latest firmware limited to this iPhone).
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

HT4436 My daughter has an iPod touch which has been set up under my apple ID. I want to change this so that she doesn't receive messages and FaceTime calls from my fiends and vice versa. I have set her up an apple ID with iCloud but the settings still sho

I need help setting up my daughters iPod. She has been using her iPod touch for 6 months using my ID. This caused a problem now that she is a bit more savvy and has learnt to message and FaceTime. I get her calls and she gets mine. I have set her up her own ID with iCloud but when I go to settings for FaceTime and messaging I can't erase my ID. So the problem is not really solved. She will have to access iTunes through me as she doesn't know my password and any games etc have to pass the mummy test. Can anyone help?

Thanks. I have my iPad on my lap and her iPod in my hand. We can FaceTime each other but it won't let either of us message each other. I know mine is activated as I use it frequently. I have activated hers as well. Maybe I will put it in the too hard basket for tonight, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

I synced iphone 4s with Mac but my contacts on have disappeared and they dont even show on iTunes

I synced my iphone 4s with iTunes on Mac, but now the contacts on phone have disappeared and also I cant see any link on iTunes to see where are my contacts.

Where do you store your contacts?
On your computer?
In iCloud?
Some other cloud service?

Having issue setting up email account on the iphone.

having issue setting up email account on the iphone. Going into settings mail, contacts, calendars...it goes back to the welcome screen. How do I delete all email accounts and set up from scratch?

I was having the exact same issue. It was driving me crazy. Just as a fluke, I tried logging in to my wife's account on the verizon.net website to se if I had a bad password or something. As soon as I logged in on my computer, her account verified & installed on her iphone. I have no idea why, but it worked.

I can't syncronize my contacts in the iphone 5 with my google contacts

I can't syncronize my contacts in the iphone 5 with my google contacts

The contacts doesn't update. For instance I create a new contact either in google or in the iphone, but the contacts do not update in the pc or in the phone..
I changed my older iphone 4s a couple a weeks ago for a new iphone 5. I realize today about this problem
I tried syncronize via icloud and itunes but nothing happens.

I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread. Yet I have read all the emails. Still the iPhone thinks they are unread. Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
i assume the email account is your iCloud email account. have you tried turning off settings > iCloud > mail, restarting the phone and then re-enabling mail again.

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

HT1766 I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not?

Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them. (the iphone isn't in use anymore.) What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto. In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library. Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.

I'm having trouble importing pictures from the internet....when I drag the picture to the icon, it gives me the option to import all duplicates. Even when I click "NO", it STILL imports every picture I have imported AGAIN, including the new one! WHY??

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

And just what sort of changes in "appearance" did you expect?
If you can access the editing, conversion, and/or properties options once a file is loaded then the QT 7 app has been upgreaded for "Pro" use.
