IPhone and IOS5.1

I just updated my laptop (and for that matter the iPad2) with IOS5.0. My iPhone3G has not been updated since last year when I changed my laptop for fear of losing my precious Contacts. I would like to update my iPhone 3's.ver 4.3.5 to IOS5.0. Trouble is my iPad is synching contacts from Microsoft Outlook (very old and outdated) and I cannot afford to lose my IPhone's updated contacts when I update to IOS5.0 using my laptop.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Is the device jailbroken?

HT4972 I recently updated my iPHone to iOS5 and I worked o.k. Then I updated my wife's iPhone and instead of reloading all her data, it loaded my data: pictures, phone numbers, etc. Where is my wife's data and how do I re-load to her iPhone?

If there is a backup somewhere that had her data you can restore that backup. Otherwise, all her data has been overwritten by yours.

When you restore, which error # appears?

I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP!

I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.

Hi there,
if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
Hope this helps,
Chris

The only restore I can find is from 2010.

Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync

Can I update my brothers iPhone and iPad to ios5 from my computer or can he only update from his own computer that he currently uses to sync?
Thanks joanlvh

You can update it on your computer, but then when he syncs it to his own it will say this iphone is already synced with another itunes account bla bla and will ask you if you want to sync it with this account. It will wipe anything you put on it using your own itunes account. BUT it wont wipe off the new iOS5

Hey there johnnyb141,
It sounds like you are are connected to your cellular network but cannot get cellular data to work when trying to surf the internet with Safari. First I would check in the Settings to see if Cellular data is enabled, or if Safari is disabled in the Cellular settings:
For the following options, go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn the options on or off, or follow the onscreen instructions.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. If Cellular Data is off, all data services will use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may be incurred. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.
From: iPhone User Guide

If it is turned on, and Safari is enabled, I would next try the troubleshooting in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I had the same problem and just figured out how to fix it. Go into your setting screen and then iCloud and turn off the contacts option. Then click on keep on iPhone. I did this and now all my contacts are back. YEAH!!!
