Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?

Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?
Ok so this is a bit complicated - I left my iPhone 3G in a cab last weekend and unfortunately it's lost for good. I still have my original iPhone 2G and have already went to AT&T for a new Sim Card. I want to use the old phone until the iPhone 4 is out in 2 weeks..... My question is how do I Restore/Back Up/Sync the old iPhone so I can retrieve all the information from my lost 3G and not lose any of the data. I know a lot of the newest software (3.1.3) is not supported on the old iPhone. In addition, how do I make sure that I am able to transfer all the origninal data from my lost 3G, as well as all the new data that I acquire on the iPhone 2G i'm using now onto the new iPhone 4 when I get one in a few weeks???
Very confusing I know, I just want to make sure all my data is safe and I don't make a blockheaded mistake of erasing some or any of it.....
Thanks to all you iPhone geniuses out there willing to provide feedback!!!

Well thank you for knowing the Terms of Use like it was your job Mr. Ian Parkinson. Forgive me for being the only person ever to sign up on here that simply clicked through to agree to terms without reading everything line by line. Yes I have only a handful of posts, I simply had a single question that I assumed would be answered quickly if I posted it into similar categories. It's too bad I couldn't have consulted with you first, the All Knowing and All Great Oz who has memorized the entire Terms of Use and has 6,000 posts on here..... I am simply not worthy in your presence, please strike me down with a fireballs from your eyes and bolts of lightning from your arse!

  • HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • I had my i-pod synked to my old computer and i lost that computer, now i have a new one, can i synk it to my i-pod and keep all the data thats on the i-pod

    i had my i-pod synced to my old computer and i lost that computer. now i have a new one , and i want to sync it to my i-pod can i do that and save all my music

    iPod classic?
    Recover media from iPod
    See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
    ... or iPod touch?
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How do I use my iPhone 4s with a new computer without losing all my data?

    Basically long story short my laptop just died, I can't get it past the start up screen and have subsequently lost all my music, files and iTunes Libary - and yes I know it's dumb of me not have a back up and I will not be making that mistake again - I have purchased a new laptop running windows 8 however as my iPhone is synced with my old laptop it will not allow me to sync with the new one without losing all of my data. Now I manually managed everything bar my apps on my old laptop but when I check to manually manage eveerything on the new laptop I obviously get the error message I will lose data when it syncs to the new laptop and I don't know what to do.
    I've lost all my music before and when I don't have my old files to back up what I lose I'm at a loss... can anyone help?
    If I click to manually manage will I just lose my apps as this was the onlyu thing synced with my old laptop? I can cope losing these....

    Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

  • My Netscape 7.2 has become very unstable and unuseable(Netscape will close now,etc.). How do I install Firefox over it and keep all my data? Thanks.

    I have XP Pro SP2, 2 gigs, AMD 64x2 5200 at 2.7Ghz. I did a reinstall of my original 7.2 setup file that I have stashed in a folder. It does not find the current mozilla folder and hence nothing works without setting up profiles etc. I was thinking for a long time of getting another browser and mail handler. I have 30 years as a computer tech and know how to use regedit and get to mozilla *.mab and *.html files in the mozilla folder.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Netscape 7.2 is a combined web browser and mail client, Firefox is just a web browser. You may want to consider using [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] instead. It is based on the same code as Firefox but also includes a built-in mail client.
    If you want to go with Firefox, see [[Importing bookmarks and other data from Mozilla Application Suite]], it shows how to import data from Netscape 7. If you want an email program as well, Mozilla's offering is [http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird].

  • I was using an apple id, but now I wanna use a new apple id and keep all the data which i stored in the old one. Is that possible to do that?

    I was used one apple id for 2 phones.
    But now, I would like to use a new apple id but store back the old data from the old apple id.
    Is that possible to do that?

    No it is not. Purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased with.
    However, if you want to change your Apple ID, and it is not an @me.com, @mac.com, or @iCloud.com email address, you can log on to Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, then click on the EDIT button next to the Apple ID. You can change it to any valid email address that is not an Apple domain email address (the @me, @mac, @icloud mentioned above):
    Apple - My Apple ID

  • How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

    We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization.  We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
    the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones.  How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
    In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us.  After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account.  To
    solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder.  The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
    is not capable of automatic synchronization.  There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution.  We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
    offer which will automatically synchronize the folders.  After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
    Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server?  Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync?  If so, are we in the right
    direction with what we have found so far?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

  • Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

    Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

    I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • How can I use voicemail on my iphone 4s? Here it says "Cannot connect to voicemail". What should I do? I'm from philippines. Is there any code or something that I should do first?

    How can I use voicemail on my iphone 4s? Here it says "Cannot connect to voicemail". What should I do? I'm from philippines. Is there any code or something that I should do first?

    I think I worked out a solution given my equipment.  I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
    "I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
    The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
    All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
    Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
    You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
    I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
    AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router.  Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen.  Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however. 
    I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone.  I was wrong.  So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation.  I'm pleased.

  • How do I Sync two songs to my ipod with out syncing my entire library and keeping all the song that are curantly on my ipod PLZ HELP SOMEONE

    Unlikely to be possible.
    The iPhone/iPod Touch is designed to only sync to one computer at a time.
    What you are attempting to do is sync to a 2nd computer, even though it is likely the exact same computer.
    The only option that might be possible is using the manually manage music on this device option.
