I have an old Iphone 3g and want to buy a new iphone but am afraid I will lose my contacts list
I want to buy a new Iphone. I currently have an old 3g. I want to be sure that I don't lose the contacts on my phone. I have some numbers on there that are not on my contacts list that is on my ipad. How do I do this?
To sync contacts to your new iPhone you want to first
1: Connect iPhone 3G to computer with the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4.)
2: From there click under the device summary and look for your iPhone.
3: You should be on a page that should say summary on the top part of your phone where it'll say "Summary, info, music, applications, etc.
4: Click on Info and then you should see a box where you can put a check mark next to the words, "Sync Contacts."
5: Sync your contacts
Option 2:
1: Go to the summary page as described above and make a backup of your iPhone 3g onto your iTunes
2: connect your iPhone 5 and then open up the summary page
3: ON the summary page you want to click on "Restore backup" and select the backup you JUST made today (check the time stamp)
4: THis should put all your contacts, pictures, and settings from your old phone onto your new phone with no issues
HOpe this helped

Not advisable for many reasons. Use the search box if you want more details.

HT1766 how do i save my game to my computer i have a older i phone and want to buy a new phone
how do i save my game, and music so I don't loose it when I get my new phone
Create a backup using iCloud or iTunes. Both backup app data as well as many other things. Your apps should be on iTunes on your computer and if not then transfer purchases there as should be your music. Past iTunes App Store purchases can be downloaded again if you need to

I have a honda civic with USB port which allows play back of my old iPhone 4 and 4s. With the new iPhone 5 the radio shows the phone is conected but does not show any music content. Any Suggestions?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I have a iphone 4 and want to buy an i phone 5, will my i tunes recognize it
i have a iphone 4 and want to buy an i phone 5, will my i tunes recognize it ?
If you want to sync your phone to tranfer all the same content from your 4, then you need to use your same apple id as you use on the 4. When you get your 5, when setting it up, it will ask if you want to restore in itunes, choose that, then restore from your backup. Just make sure you have backed up your 4 right before your restore the 5 so you have the most current content.

Hi everyone. I'm from Italy and I'll go to NY next month. I want to buy a new iPhone 5s in NY but I'm not sure if I can use it in Italy. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!!!
1. Don't do it and waste your money
2. The US prices exclude Tax which is added at the till depending on state and can be upto 15% more than the quoted price. All EU retail prices are required to include local taxes and import duties by regulation.
3. On return to the EU you are liable for 22% VAT on your purchase
4. The iPhone does NOT have an international warranty.It breaks you are stuffed.
5. The US models do NOT support all European LTE frequencies .None support the Band 7 (2600mhz) frequency being deployed by many European Mobile networks.
6. Buy locally if you want all functionality warranty support and when taxes are included the prices are pretty much the same anyway. -

You'd need to check local stores to see what their buy back policy is, but generally, I believe you'll get more if you sell your iPad outright to someone else then use the proceeds towards your new one.

Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4
In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater. You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible. What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run. To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines. If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

Ive jsut tried to update my iphone 4 and its asking me to click restore, does this mean I will lose all of my information?
You will only lose data that you did not sync to your computer, or data you did not back up to iCloud. If you have synced or used iCloud then the data is stored for you.

Thanks.There is no such thing as Windows for Mac. Windows is Windows and you can install it on a Windows computer or on an Apple computer. Once installed it will work until you remove it.
