Iphone 6 questions before updating from the 4S

I currently have an iPhone 4s running OS 7.1.2. seeing as I don't have enough space left open on my phone to update to OS 8. I also am not able to connect to wifi via the quick connect on the pull up menu or from the setting menu. Tried doing a complete restart of the phone to see if that would change it back, but did not. I am only able to back up the info on my phone by plugging it into the computer. I am looking into getting the 6 in the next few weeks, but due to these problems it has left me with a few questions.
1. The 6 comes loaded with the new operating system, but since I am not able to update currently and will have to restore my phone via the computer with all my info from the 4S thats running a lower OS will that effect the phone? will it not let me update since the 4S is not currently running OS8?
2. Will the issue with the wifi not being able to connect carry over to the new device or is this strictly an issue with my 4S?
These are the only ones I can think of right now If i think of anything else I will let you know. Thanks for the help.

1) You should have no issues restoring your 6 from a backup of the 4S. You can restore a device running a newer version of iOS from a backup made with an older one but can't go the other way.
2) If the wifi issue is a hardware problem with the phone, you will not have issues with your 6. If it's a software problem, it may carry over to the new phone.

Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

Backed up Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, photos etc) are from 2 years ago. It did sync a current backup??

I backed up my Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, phone, calendar, apps, books) from the last 1 1/2 years is gone. Where is all my current stuff? Why will it not restore my current info? Thanks!!

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

iOS 5 is only compatible with the iPhone 3Gs and later...

Iphone 5 is updated from ios6.1.3 to ios 7.0.2, then use the machine to slow down.

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Hello vikings2013
You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally. You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone. If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.

Sir, kindly tell me, can my iphone 4s downgrade ios 8.0.2 to ios 7.1.2 because ios 7.1.2. is working very smooth in my iphone 4s before update ios 8.0.2

No, Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.1.2. So, you know, you can't downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7 any more. Instead of bearing the pain of slow iOS 8 on your iPhone 4s, I think you should learn how to speed up iOS 8 on your iPhone, say clear junk files and delete unwanted photos and messages to leaving more storage for running iOS 8, end multiple task and reduce motion effect to boost the performance.

I backed up my iPhone 4s before updating to ios7. then I updated my iTunes. I updated to ios7 and now none of my previous apps or settings are on my phone!

I backed up my iPhone 4s before updating to ios7. then I updated my iTunes. I updated to ios7 and now none of my previous apps or settings are on my phone! I tried to restore from my backup this morning, and none of my backups from this whole year are listed in iTunes! Help Please! I'm so frustrated!!! I know i backed it up this morning, as well as 2 months ago because I saw the previous backups listed before I updated iTunes. Where are they now?

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

My Air won't do anything, I can't move the mouse and the keys won't respond. It came after an OS update from the Mac Appstore. HELP!

After an OS update, from the Mac Appstore my Air won't do anything.
I updated OSX from the appstore, and I restarted my laptop. Now I'm in the choose profile screen and nothing happends. At all. I can't move the mouse, the keys aren't responding etc.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Do I have to back up my files before updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion OS X?

Currently running on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 on my MAcBook Pro. Is there anything I should do before updating or do I just purchase the update from the app store and click on it?

Backup Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
