I have iPhone 4s, wife has iphone 4. She works, I am retired. She needs Siri. How can we switch phones and get all data, contacts, calendars, etc to switch correctly?

First make sure both iPhones are using the lastest iOS 5.1.1. Secondly make sure all of your data is backed up in separate iCloud accounts one for each user. Make sure that you are all of the options in iCloud are on. Then you have to switch the sim cards.

This page will take you though the steps of backing up data and then restoring the data on both iPhones. Make sure to read everything before you start the process it is fairly straight forward.

You can use iTunes to restore or the iCloud option. I find that iCloud is much easier to setup but it requires wifi.

Hello,
I have had the same problem as you, and have spent the past 2 days figuring it out. I have been on the phone with AppleCare 3 times, and been to the Apple Store once as well. I ended up reinstalling iTunes completely, creating a new Administrator account on my Mac, and getting a brand new iPhone 4. None of these fixed the problem. I did figure it out, and hopefully this helps you as well:

Follow the drop menu for "Blocked by Configuration"
Follow these steps
I have a Mac, and I skipped everything except for the Terminal instructions.
I did the Terminal command, added # and a space in front of the only line it showed that had apple.com in it, then saved and exited. My update worked perfectly immediately after I completed those steps. Again, I hope this helps you as well!

I have iphone 4 and his on/off Button is brocken what can I do?

I have iphone 4 and his on/off Button is brocken what can I do?

This seems to be a network issue and is common globally. Apple seems to need particularly good networks to operate consistently.
I have friends and family with iPhones. Here are a few experiences:
I know that my friend is on holiday a couple of hours north of where I live. I cant call her. I call her partner who has a Nokia. Same network same place, actually sitting beside each other on the beach. The Nokia works fine, the iPhone, inoperative and no signal.
My Brother has an iPhone 4. We are meant to be in a convoy heading north. I am talking to him on the phone and he agrees to pick up our dad. he is on the motorway in the city. He is not in the country in some poor coverage area. I try and ring him straight back and it goes to answer service. I try again. I ring his wife, who is sitting right next to him in the car. She has a Nokia - no problems. His iPhone simply lost signal. He was not talking on it. His iPhone drops calls or is unable to make calls at all sorts of random places. The worse the coverage, i.e. rural in the country the less service he has.
My Brother goes to China on business. He is roaming. His iPhone never lost signal and never dropped a call.
Our conclusion. An iPhone staying connected to a network is a delicate thing if you do not have a powerful network with good coverage, particularly 3G coverage if you have a 3G phone. Your solution is to probably change networks and get one that has better coverage. Your other solution might be to get Nokia so that you can actually call people and use your iPhone for all of the cool email, games, iTunes and other functions it has. Afterall that is what is was designed for - the phone thing seems to be an optional extra.

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash?

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

HT204053 I accidentally set up a different Apple account on my iCloud (iPhone 4) and my iTunes for my iPod. How can I now sync the iTunes with my iPhone?

I recently purchased and iPhone 4. In my haste to set it up, I created an iCloud account with a username that is different from the Apple account name I have on my iPod and iTunes account.
How can I sync the two accounts so that I can download my music from my iPod to my iPhone?
Sincerely,
ORB

Hello, tiburon1979.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little clarification on the issue that you are experiencing to provide a better answer. However, if your device is not recognized by iTunes, try going through the steps in the article below.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If the device is recognized and you are unable to select the syncing preference, see the article below as the steps have changed.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB

My iCloud does not appear because my email acct connected to this acct has been hacked and changed my info on my password how can I delete the old address

Hi, my computer is stating that the username for iCloud is incorrect can not receive email how can change.
The username please help thank you

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
