IPhone 4 from iPhone 3gs Using iTunes

have purchased the iphone 4 and about to register it with my itunes account that had my 3GS on, Will this erase my current music etc?

Are you certain you have an iPhone 3GS? You might try Settings > General > About > Model and post the result.
Has the iPhone ever been jailbroken or hacked?

  • Installing iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1

    I'm trying to instal iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1 with no luck, it seems. When I follow the instructions as per the Apple website I just get a message saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version". Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here. Also, I cannot update to iTunes 10 as I am running OSX 10.4.11 and I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5. I'm hoping that I am not stuck in a corner with this one.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5.
    Someone else can probably assist with the 4.1 installation issue, but you can indeed install Mac OS X 10.5.x on your iMac G5. It's 10.6, Snow Leopard, that requires an Intel-based Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 is getting a bit hard to find, but it's possible that the Apple Store will still have copies if you call them. 10.5 is not on their web site, but they still had copies of 10.4 long after 10.5 was released, so it's worth a try. If not, a dealer may still have copies, or you may be able to find a retail copy of 10.5 from another user who upgraded to Snow Leopard on a site like eBay (caution: make sure you get the retail, black-label, disk, not the system disk that shipped with another model of Mac).

  • HT1766 I backed up my iphone 3GS using itunes 10. on 27/12 and today 29/12 and would like to restore using 27/12 backup but cannot see option to choose that backup nor can I now see that backup.

    I backed my iphone 3GS on 27/12 and did a synchronization today with itunes 10.. which automatically did a backup prior to carrying out the synch.  I have just realised that I have lost my music as my music setting is defaulting to "selected playlist, artists, albums, and genres" and I am trying to restore using the backup I carried out on 27/12 but cannot see the option to choose that backup. When I right-click the device  and choose restore from backup, there are two iphone names - admin iphone and admin iphone 29th Dec 11:14 and statement underneath - Last backed up today 11:34.
    To restore I selected admin iphone and restore - should I have selected admin iphone 29th Dec?
    Where can I find the backup I carried out on 27th and how can I use it to restore to it?

    Thanks for the info. No problem as I can sync my music to my iphone anyway -  it is still available on my music library on itunes - did not want to sync entire library as it is massive now  and for my ipod classic.
    Other question - is it safe to update my iphone software to version 6.0.1 which keeps being prompted each time I connect my jailbroken 3GS iphone on itunes. I cannot install nor update a number of apps such as whats app, some games which I used to have on my iphone as each time I try to update or re-install, I am informed that I need IOS 4.3 or above.
    thanks

    DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost. 
    Use a music transfer software like Senuti to move your music from your iPhone to yur Computer/iTunes.

  • What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
    What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed?

    I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
    But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?

    Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

  • My new Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old Iphone 3gs on itunes. How do I restore it back to 4g?

    My New Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old IPhone 3gs on Itunes. How do i get it to restore back to the 4g?

    There is no 4g.
    If you don't want to restore it with your old iPhone information, then just restore as a NEW phone, not from the backup. Don't quite understand what there's not to get. :-|

  • How to backup apps and music from an iphone 3g using itunes 11

    Hi, my godson has been using an iPhone 3G as an iPod for music and gaming apps. I want to give him my iPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I have iTunes 11 (registered with my appleID) on my Win8 laptop. I've done a Backup of the 3G and then restored to the 4, the settings and photos "transferred" with the Restore operation, but the apps and music didn't "transfer." How do I backup (all apps and music and photos,etc.--everything on the 3G--to the iPhone 4 using iTunes 11. I think I could have done it easily with older versions of iTunes (with the "Explorer" bar on the left side of iTunes), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with iTunes 11.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot sync iphone 3gs with itunes 10.3

    Iphone will not sync with itunes because itunes freezes everytime the phone is plugged into computer. I have windows 7 32 bit machine. I have also tried on macbook pro 10.3 itunes and it crashes as well. I cannot restore my phone because itunes freezes. It deleted all my music from my phone, however it still lists that the music is still on the phone. I have a iphone 3gs 4.3.2, cannot download and install 4.3.3 due to itunes freezing.

    I can't sync with iTunes too. My 3GS was updated to 4.3.3 (8J2) by the local Mac store yesterday after a failed attempt to update from 4.1 using iTunes version 10.3.1. All apps, photos, contacts, etc was wiped.
    Because I can't see my iPhone in iTunes I can't restore it. I've tried restarting the PC, and trying different USB ports to no avail.
