I received, as a present, an iPhone 3GS and need to transfer ownership to me

Hi, I'm Horacio from Argentina. One of my friends gave me, as a present, an old iPhone 3GS and I want to use it. How can I do to have a new iTunes ID?
Thanks for your help..
Regards

First wipe the iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
There's no iTunes ID. You need an Apple ID which you already have since you can post here.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

  • Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer

    Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

    I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
    If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

  • I'm new to iPhone (4) and need to transfer all my contacts from Treo (windows mobile)...any tips?

    I'm new to iPhone (4) and need to transfer all my contacts from my old Treo 750 (windows mobile)...any suggestions?

    You need to import the contacts with a supported address book application on your computer.
    With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    There should be Palm desktop software available for your computer that includes the Treo contacts which should include an option for exporting the contacts in a format that is supported for import by Outlook or Windows Contacts.
    Syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT1766 i have an unlocked iphone 3gs and need an upgrade how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status?

    I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.

    Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
    So If you officially unlocked you are  fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you.

  • Can't receive calls on my new Iphone 3GS

    I'm a new Telus customer since yesterday. I can't receive any calls on my Iphone 3Gs except if the caller is on the Telus network.
    Telus confirmed that this ain't a network problem. They beleive it might be a problem whith codes inside the phone? Sim card maybe?
    At this time, the technical support at Telus can't help me since their system is down.
    However, I was with bell before and transfered my phone number to telus...could that be one of the reason?
    Anyone experienced the same problem?

    I bought the I phone on the 5th From Telus, I can not recieve calls. When I call it it says "the number you have called can not be completed as dialed", When I turn my I phone off than on I get a message saying "SIM has sent a text message" three times and then "ME has registered a temporary error". Does anybody know anything about this?
    P.S.
    I am going into Edmonton tomorrow and I am going to stop at the APPLE shop in West Ed mall and see what they say or can do.

  • I received as a present an Iphone 4 for which I need decoding; I mention it has soft version 433(8J2). How can I do it?

    I received as a present an Iphone 4 for which I need decoding; I mention it has soft version  iOS 433(8J2). How can I do it?

    What do you mean by "decoding"? Do you mean that you wish to upgrade to a newer version of iOS? Do you mean that you wish to unlock the iPhone from it's current cell carrier? You will need to explain more fully what it is that you are trying to accomplish.
    If you are not comfortable with English, try posting in your native language.

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has the iPhone 4 , both phones with updated current . We added iMessage to them at first it was great, now I don't get half the texts my husbands send and when I send him a text message it will come up from my email???

    I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message  or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal.  Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
    I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

    I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

    If you are receiving a messages that says the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created I'm afraid you won't be able to create a new account on your phone. 
    Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts.  Once they have been created you cannot create a new one.  You also can't delete one of the accounts to allow you to create a new one.  All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • I am using the iphone 3gs and uptaded to ios 6.1.3 but my phone was unable to activate why ? please help.

    I am using the iphone 3gs and uptaded to ios 6.1.3 but my phone was unable to activate why ? please help.

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Is the iPhone jailbroken or modified to work with other than the original
    wireless provider?
    Have any of the beta versions of iOS 7 been installed on the iPhone?
    Need more information before someone can offer a solution.
