  • Replacing my old iphone with a new one, need guidance/help please

    Hello fellow iPhone users.
    This is my first post on these message boards ever so please excuse me if this has already been discuessed before.
    Recently a friend of mine dropped my iphone pretty badly and it got scratched up except for the screen however he offered to replace it for me by buying me a new one. I insisted he didnt need to but now its too late because he already opened the box. My question is, what is the process I have to do to activate my new iPhone and deactivate my old one? Can someone explain to me the steps involved in this process?
    Also, how can I transfer all my contacts that are only on my iPhone to my computer so that I can transfer my contacts back again to my new phone? Also, how can I transfer all my bookmarks on my older iPhone to my comptuer so that I can send them to my new phone? Is there any clear cut easy way to do this process? Any help is much appreciated.
    Essentially, what I want to do is restore all my settings, text messages, email settings, wifi hot spots, bookmarks, images etc etc on to my new iPhone while restoring my older iPhone to its blank factory condition.
    Thanks a bunch

    iphonefan1,
    To transfer your information from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, you are going to want to do a few things:
    1) Backup any information on the old iPhone to your computer. You can use Windows Address book or Outlook (2003 or 2007) to backup contacts and Internet Explorer to backup your bookmarks. You will need to import any pictures you have taken on the iPhone to your computer (they do not sync) or email them if you would like them saved. Sync your old iPhone with iTunes so that it will make a backup of your text messages and other preference information.
    This article describes what information can be directly synced from your iPhone to the computer:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306071
    2) Take your SIM card out of your old iPhone and put it into the new iPhone. This takes all of your ATT account information to the new iPhone so that you will not have to run through a full activation again. You will have to run through a mini-activation, but all of your information will already be set up.
    3) Connect the new iPhone into your computer. As part of the mini-activation process, iTunes will ask you if you want to restore your iPhone from the backup. If you say yes, then it will use the preferences from your old iPhone and put them on the new iPhone. You can then sync any information (contacts, bookmarks, photos, etc.) that you backed up on the computer from the old iPhone to the new iPhone.
    This article will help you import the data on your computer to the iPhone:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305741
    4) Once you are confident that all of your information has been transferred from the old iPhone to the new one, you can restore the old iPhone and that will put the software back to factory settings. That will also erase all of your old data. (This process cannot be undone, so please make sure you do not need any information off the old iPhone before you restore.)
    Hope this helps!

  • I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

    I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

    You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

  • HT4910 iCloud won't let me erase my previous backups because it says its being used by another iPhone? the apple store recently replaced my old iPhone with a new one, and I want to delete the old backup, how will i do this if its still syncing to my old i

    this is the error it gives me :/ how will i go about deleting my old iphone if i dont have it??

    This should clear up on its own and allow you to delete the account, however it can take 3-5 days before this happens.

  • Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync it with my new iphone and reset it if necessary.

    Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync and reset the my new iphone with the ipad2 . Is this possible? The operating system of my old macbook is Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is incompatible with my iphone.

    An iPad is just a very big iPhone without the ability to voice call people. Just like the iPhone you need to connect it to a computer with iTunes to activate it, sync it, and everything else.
    There is no way to directly plug an iPhone into a iPad so you cannot sync to it.
    The iPhone requires iTunes to sync with. The iTunes application on the iPad is actually just the iTunes Store and does not contain any drivers to allow another iDevice to connect to it.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?

    I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?
    Because I cannot update the software until I chose if I want to begin with a new phone setting or download a backup.
    But the backup is of course not compatible with the old iOS.
    So will it be possible to get the new iPhone going, then do the software update to 8.3 and then download / use the data from
    my 4S icloud backup?

    1. Settings > General > Software Update > Update the  to 8.3
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    3. Reactivate phone and follow prompts to restore iCloud (or iTunes) backup.

  • Mesh data in old iPhone with data in new iPhone}

    Hello!
    How might one mesh the data in an old iPhone with the data in a new iPhone?
    I made the mistake of using my new iPhone for a while before transferring a backup from my old iPhone to my new iPhone. I was hoping to find a way to selectively transfer data to reduce the possibility of transfering gremlins that have built up in the old phone for the past three years. Now there's a bunch of important data on the new iPhone that will get deleted if I do the restore process with iTunes.
    Any suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Copy everything else ( calendars/contacts/pics/files/docs) as well.

  • Replaced my old 3GS with new 3GS

    Hi,
    I had to return my old 3gs with a bad battery and got a new one. I had undated the old one with the new software. When I try to sync the new phone with itune, I get a message telling me that itune was sync with a new version iphone, and I don't know how upgrade the new phone. Does anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks

    Well 2 weeks ago, I updated my old 3gs to the new iphone version iso4 . Before I returned it to Apple store, I backed up my phone and when I try to sync the new phone I get a message saying something like" itune has been synched with a newer version" and I get the choice of starting as a new phone. In other words, the new phone is a 3.0 version and my itune was backed up with a 4.0 phone. I guess I can't ( or at least i don't know how to ) upgrade the new phone to a 4.0.
    Sorry if it's not clear.

  • I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    You're welcome.
    I would advise against that for the reasons I provided.
    Could I have my iPad 2 for the new one paying the difference between their values?
    No. Sell the existing yourself and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPad.

  • Syncing an old iphone with a new itunes

    I recently purchased a new computer and I want to sync my old iphone with my new computer. Is there anyway I can take all of the data off of my phone and put it on my new itunes?
    I have no way of retrieving the data off of my old computer so backing up the itunes on it would be impossible.
    Also, 99.9% of my music has not been purchased through iTunes. I tried transferring my purchases from my phone to the new iphone but only a 3 songs transferred and only a couple of apps did too.

    And you have no backup? Ugh.
    There might be a program out there (can't remember the name) that allows you to move your music back to iTunes. You'll have to google that.
    As far as any photos, those will be lost. When you sync photos to the iPhone it doesn't sync the actual jpeg, but rather a VERY low resolution thumb nail.

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

    No.  but you can sell it privately and use the proceeds towards a newer used model.

  • How to replace an old DC with a new one with out to much work

    Without having to unjoin and rejoin all the clients to the new domain?
    Basically my company has an old Server 2003 R2 standard and we are getting a new server machine with a 6 core E5 Xeon that will have Server 2012 R2 standard installed. I will be transferring all the data from the company share drive easily
    and making it shareable on the new server. I just don't want to go over to each computer and unjoin them from the old domain and join them to the new domain on the new server, and have to setup their outlook, move their data in the user profile etc...
    I want to keep the same domain name and users.

    Probably your easiest option is to join the new 2012 R2 server to your existing domain, promote it to be a second domain controller, then once it's running as a DC move the FSMO roles from the old server to the new one (see
    http://trunkofmemorie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/how-to-change-fsmo-roles-in-windows-2012.html for a step by step guide to the process) so the new server effectively is in charge, then when you're ready you can demote the old server before disjoining it
    from the domain and retiring it.
