I'm buying the iPhone 5 tomorrow (currently have the 4s)

how do I make sure all my sms texts transfer from my current phone to my new one?
I backed it up on my itunes, and I'm not backing up on iCloud (says it'll take 3 hours)
I made sure all my photos are synced up, but I'm really concerned about my textes (a lot of memories I guess), I have iMessage on my MacBook so those aren't an issue.
How do i make sure those get transfered?

Texts are included with the iPhone's backup.

    can i sync purchased apps from my ipod to my itunes then to my iphone? both are 4g

    Yes, when you open iTunes, click Apps on the sidebar
    these apps are all your apps
    In your case, you will be able too*
    *Certain iPad apps can't be transferred to an iPhone or iPod

  • If i buy a Iphone 4 tomorrow will it have OS 4.1? or 4.0?

    I plan on purchasing a new Iphone 4 32gig in the very near future.
    I was wondering will the Apple store/Best buy/Radio Shack sell Iphone 4 with OS4.1 preloaded?
    Ideally I want 4.0 (for obvious reason *wink)
    Is there anyway on the box to determine what OS it has loaded on the phone?

    Is there anyway on the box to determine what OS it has loaded on the phone?
    No, and I doubt any of those stores will open box after box to see what OS is pre-installed. Given the pace of iPhone 4 sales, you're most likely gonna get 4.1.

  • Buying an iphone second hand

    i am currently buying an iphone off somebody else and they say it comes with the warranty but i was wondering if this enough or do i need the warranty to be tranferred into my name or anything?

    I'm thinking of buying an iPhone second hand but have read stories of people selling them and then getting them IMEI blocked at a later date
    I think you're referring to Activation Lock: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
    Only buy a second hand phone if the previous owner has done all the steps in the following article:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Ive seen the receipt so I know it came from an Apple shop so will be SIM unlocked.
    That makes no difference, and that does not mean the phone will be unlocked.

  • Buying an iPhone before moving abroad?

    I will be living in Russia for nine months starting in September, and I am thinking about buying an iPhone in order to have instant access to WiFi while I am over there. However, I have heard and read that rates can be exorbitant, even with AT&T's international data packages. Is it advisable for me to buy an iPhone and purchase an international data package, or should I buy one in Russia (or not at all)? Also, does AT&T offer international calling packages?
    I would appreciate any advice. I have never had an iPhone before and am unsure if I would be making a bad decision to take one with me for an extended time overseas.

    Buying iPhone to use it in roaming for that long time is not really a good idea. While it is locked to AT&T only you can`t use local SIM card. Roaming charges are going to be huge.
    Also SIM free iPhones are going to be available in Russia in September. Despite the price of 1200-1400 US $ it is still better deal than roaming. Also you can use it back in the States for more reasonable plans.
    Best,
    Anton

  • If I buy my Iphone 5 now, will I be able to upgrade it if a new one comes out for free?

    I am looking to buy an Iphone 5, but I have seen that a new model is due soon. Should I wait or will Apple upgrade it if I buy it now?

    Apple will not provide a free upgrade to any future model.

  • Hi, if i tomorrow i'll go to a store and i try yo buy an iphone 5s unlocked. Can i buy it or i've to buy it online with the shipping?

    Hi, if i tomorrow i'll go to a store and i try yo buy an iphone 5s unlocked. Can i buy it or i've to buy it online with the shipping?

    Shipping in the US is always free.  The variable is in-store stock levels.  It's first-come-first-served and the only way to reserve one is by making an online purchase.

  • Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
    Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
    At&t, yes but there may be a caveat
    Outside the USA, I don't know, we need to know your current Tariffe/plan to help.
    Contact your carrier to negotiate any loose ends.

  • If I go to a Verizon store tomorrow, Tuesday September 23, will there be any iPhone 6's available? I do not want the iPhone 6+, just the regular iPhone 6. I am looking to buy the 64 gb silver version, but will buy the 128 gb version if needed.

        Thanks for taking an interest in upgrading to a new phone. We would recommend calling the store before making a trip to see if they have you want in stock.

  • I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.

    You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ?  Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

  • HT1296 Hiya, I am thinking of buying my first Apple Ipod the new 32gb Ipod Touch. Will I be able to import the music that I currently have in the form of CDs and other music not purchsed from Itunes and if I can how do I go about doing this? I have heard

    Hiya, Im thinking of buying my first ipod the Ipod Touch 32gb model. Will I be able to transfer the music I currently have stored in the form of CDs and already on my laptop onto the Ipod and if yes, how would I do this? I have heard from some friends that Apple and Itunes is notoriously limited in the types of formats that are accetable? I dont want to pay £249 on an Ipod only to find that Im locked into buying all my music from Itunes and I cant use the music that Ive already paid good money to buy from other sources. Many thanks for any help and advice that you may give me?

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

    Great article by HuffPost Tech.
    The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
    Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
    First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
    Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
    Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
    June 2007: original iPhone released
    June 2008: iPhone 3G released
    June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
    June 2010: iPhone 4 released
    June 2011: Nothing!
    In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
    So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
    Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
    But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
    Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
    The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
    So there is Reliable Source One.
    Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
    There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

    Apple has two prototypes out testing now.  One is a thinner totally redesigned case.  The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it.  Hence the delay.  The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals.  If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5.  If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.
