Lost new iphone 5 uninsured
Is it possible to connect an iphone 3gs to itunes and restore backup from PC when last phone was an iphone 5?
As long as the phone you are trying to restore to is running a version of iOS the same as, or higher than, the phone that originally created the backup.

My new iPhone has been stolen.
When I synced it to iTunes the first time, I decided to transfer all of the data from my old iPhone onto it, so they also have the same name.
I logged into iCloud and tried to locate my phone, then enabled the "lost" option.
I then turned on my old iPhone which acted as if it had been stolen.. (the message popped up on the screen, plus my mac notified me that the phone had been tracked, etc)
I was wondering therefore, if for my Mac they are the same phone? and if it is so, would the "lost" option be enabled on both phones?
Thank you so much for any help.Thank you. The old one will stay reported?

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:

I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

I connected my new iPhone 5 to my (now fully updated after two separate operating system upgrades!) MacBook Pro so that I could add my music to my new phone. Rather than configuring it as a new iPhone, I chose to configure it as my old iPhone, thinking that this would make it easier for my music to be there. WRONG. Now my new iPhone 5 looks exactly like my old iPhone 4 did in OCTOBER, 2012 - photos, messages, contacts... anything done since then is gone (that was the last time I had backed up my old phone, which unfortunately was not connected to the cloud and is also lost somewhere in a New England lake :-(). What I could really, really use help with is finding out if I can have a do-over on my choice and at least get my new phone looking/acting like the new phone it is, and bonus would be to have the photos and videos I took with it this past weekend (it's only five days old!) restored. Please help!
Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

No I have notbeen syncing to my computer..I Had just gotten the phone and hadnt had a chance to yet. Sorry..mycomputer is old and slow.
Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry. -
I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?
No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?
I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

I've lost my iPhone and have not got the finances to buy a new one, investigating insurance options but only 6 months left on contract so may not bother, however I want to get all my info off iCloud but can't work out how to get it, I'm not very computer savvy to be honest.
You can only restore the backup to another iOS device. Also, Apple will delete an iCloud backup after 180 days of inactivity so it won't be there forever.

I lost my iphone and would like a new one without paying $600
I lost my iphone 1 month into my 2 year contract. I have my old phone that I've had for the past 3 years while I was waiting for the iphone to come to Verizon, but I'd really like to replace my iphone. I am kicking myself for not getting the insurance on it, but I can't do anything about that now. I'm the 2nd line and the primary line is eligible for an upgrade, but if I use that my husband is stuck with his 2 year old phone for the another 2 years.
Is there anyway around all this or do I need to get a 2nd job to be able to afford to replace my iphone?Because Verizon requires a monthly data package on smart phones, your old number will be charged until you replace it while under contract.
When adding the new number to get another iphone, transferring old number to your new iphone, you may be able to then transfer the "new" number to a basic device, minimizing costs. Ask if there is a penalty for dropping the monthly data package. Verizon has a $29.99/Unlim MB data package or the limited time promotional $15/150 MB. But it is manditory on all smart phones, even lost ones, unless replaced.
WARNING: Ask the rep to confirm if you have the "Smartphone Talk Free promotion". (Very Likely)
This is Verizon's warning verbatum, taking note of the last clause:
If your plan includes the Smartphone Talk Free Promotion, the following conditions apply:
* You must keep the $29.99 Data Package associated with your eligible Smartphone device
* You must keep your current plan. If you change your plan, the promotion and the $9.99/line/mo.
Credit will be removed.
* An eligible Smartphone must be associated with your plan. If you upgrade or change to a
non-Smartphone device, the promotion and the $9.99/line/mo. credit will be removed.
BTW: People stuck with no good solution and wishing to avoid the contract cancellation penalty, have another option usually not mentioned. All carriers have a basic 1Yr service plan. Verizon's calls theirs Nationwide Loyalty 100, priced at $25 monthly, for 100m general and 500m N/W (all [email protected]),
And it proves ideal for my 8th grader, a phone for texting and emergency calls. -

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?
Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police. -
I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!
In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer. -
I have turned on iCloud on my new iPhone and on my PC. I am attempting to download my old purchases that I lost on a crashed computer, but iTunes keeps telling me that my ID has been disabled. I am frustrated
