Iphone, area code, moving to another area code ( lol @ topic title)

I'm really close to getting an iphone 3gs, but I just have some last questions before I go ahead with the purchase. Bare with me if I don't know what I am trying to ask because I'm confuse myself, so pardon my nubness **** I don't even know how to make the topic title for this topic lol.
I currently live in a city in California who's name will be kept anonymous. I don't know if I plan on staying here for another year. I've been planning on moving to another area in California, either the bay area or maybe southern california or perhaps New York next year, who knows. I have a cellphone number but its under my parents' family plan, so I'm not really paying for anything. I'm thinking of getting an iphone and get a new cell phone number as well to go with it.
My question is basically regarding the cellphone number. My friend said not to get the iphone because if I do move to lets say to those said places above, my area code for the cellphone will be different and if people call me, I will get charged and they will get charged long distance or what not. That's what my friend said. Does that make sense? Can somebody please clarify/explain to me what happens if I move to another city with a different area code and whatnot? What kind of charges I will incur as a result.

You can always change you cell phone number.
If you move to another place you can change you phone number or not, your choice.
I have never been charged for changing a phone number.

TS1363 Our two iphones are no longer recognized on iTunes

Our two iphones are suddenly not being recognized on iTunes. In fact, when we go to "file", then "devices" and try to click on something under devices, it won't let us, i.e. nothing happens. Tried deleting iTunes and uploading again. Still didn't work. BEFORE we tried deleting itunes and downloading it again, I tried to go on itunes to sync my new upgraded iPhone 5c. No luck. Back before I upgraded from my 4s to the 5C (in January 2014) I had noticed that all my regular phone contacts had disappeared to be replaced by some of my facebook friends. It continued to still be that way up until yesterday, when I tried to sync my new phone to itunes. I ended up spending a VERY long time on live CHAT with Apple support. She suggested (after helping me for a LONG time) that I delete itunes from my desktop and download it again. She led me thru the steps to delete and download again. We knew that in the course of this help, we would lose our chat. After re-downloading itunes, I still couldn't find my iphone on itunes. Last night I requested a call from apple support. They called promptly and to make a long story short, he had me go thru the process of deleting my phone and then reloading my phone to the most recent sync, which was in January fo 2014, thinking that all my original phone contacts would be there, and everything would be fine. At the time, itunes appeared to be working (with this young man's help). I had one more backup listed on my itunes account from July 2013, so he said to try syncing my phone to THAT backup date. It didn't bring up an error code, but said it had "failed."
So off and on all day today, I have been plugging my phone in and trying to find it on iTunes. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Very frustrating. I am wondering if going in person to an Apple store would help me more, and if THEY would be able to get my old contacts back. BUT that still doesn't help with not being able to find our phones on itunes.
Any ideas?

I just bought the new iPhone 4, having previously used the iPhone 3G. The old 3G no longer has phone capabilities (of course), however, I was wondering if I could continue to sync it on iTunes to keep the applications and podcasts up to date? Will iTunes preclue me from syncing two iPhones? Will iTunes not reconginze my new iPhone 4 if I sync the old 3G? I want to make sure that I don't mess up the new iPhone 4 before trying this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm syncing two iPhone 4 units, an iPad, and an old iPhone 3G used as an iPod. All can be synced at the same time. You might need/want to rename the 3G if you kept the same name for your iPhone 4.

A lot of my songs that were on my iPhone are no longer showing up because I updated to iOS6

This is absolutely ridiculous and frustrating. As soon as I made a software update a couple of things happened: My PC very rarely finds my iPhone when it's plugged in via USB (and yes, the USB cord works just fine). 2) Songs that were on my iPhone are no longer available for me to play because *GASP* I didn't purchase them from Apple! (OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG) for whatever reason they aren't identified in Match or whatever it's called... So therefore I no longer get to listen to it via my iPhone. When did this all start? As soon as I upgraded my software. Wow, I'm so frustrated and livid right now it's insane. I can't wait until I get a new phone. Never purchasing another Apple product again. This is just insane.

This message papers when iTunes can't find the songs in the location they used to be. If you moved them, or is connected the external drive they're on, move them back to their original location, or onnect the drive before starting iTunes.

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

The issue seems to be with Windows 8/computer. Try googling those error codes and see what result you get.
I don't see any of those error codes in apple support page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1424

Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
(I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously. I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long. I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

Click here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.
