Old iPhone breaks?

Say if your old iPhone stops functioning correctly after the new iPhones come out and you need a replacement will it be the new iPhone or the old Iphone? Just wondering

But then you would be force to pay and additional $10 per month for 3G service, correct?
"No, because the current iPhone models - 8GB and 16GB, do not include a 3G chipset. The 3G iPhone is a future model - it isn't available yet, so it isn't the current model."
What I mean is is if the classic iPhone breaks and all of the stock of that model is depleted, and then the customer is given a 3G iPhone as a replacement, then they would be force to pay and additional $10 per month for 3G service, correct?

Take it back to where you purchased the device and get another device.

IOS v8.1.2 on an old iPhone 4S...

Hi all.
How is the (new/lat)est iOS v8.1.2 on an old iPhone 4S? Is it really slower than v7.1.2 from various online sources? Are there any known issues on it? I assume v8.1.2 have most of the major issues worked out by now. I am thinking of upgrading it later during the Christmas 2014 vacation/break just in case anything goes wrong during the major software upgrade. I know iOS can't be downgraded if there are problems or do not like it.
Thank you in advance.

No problems with 8.1.2 on my 4S.

What happens to old iPhone users

To all AT&T or Apple employees out there on Apple Discussions,
Let's say, hypothetically, my old first generation iPhone breaks, and it is still under warranty (and it is replaceable by the warranty). What happens? Won't Apple have to give me the new 3G as a replacement? But will my plan remain the same, or will I have to upgrade just because my phone broke?
Also, is there an easy way for earlier iPhone owners to upgrade to the new 3G (I am expecting to fork over some money to do this, but it would be cheaper/easier than just buying a whole new phone with a new number and new plan)?
Thanks,
thealexness

You will get a first generation iPhone. They have plenty for repair/refurbishment issues.
Also, is there an easy way for earlier iPhone owners to upgrade to the new 3G (I am expecting to fork over some money to do this, but it would be cheaper/easier than just buying a whole new phone with a new number and new plan)?
You do it like everyone else. Go to an Apple or AT&T store. You can keep your same number.

Old iPhone - can I use with new provider?

I have an old iPhone activated in the US with ATT. I recently moved to Hong Kong and would like to switch out the sim card and use it with the new iPhone service provider in HK. I don't want to break my contract with ATT (as I still use it when in the US), I don't want a new 3G iPhone (yet), and I don't want to hack/unlock it.
Will this be possible now that there will be a service provider in HK?

Will this be possible now that there will be a service provider in HK?
No - this does not change the fact that your iPhone is carrier locked with at&t. The iPhone sold in HK will likely be sold as carrier locked only with the designated provider or providers there.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

I have a 5 yr. old iPhone 3GS, I can't back it up to my laptop, it's not working, but wondered if i can back it up to her laptop, if I create a new user account name, w/out losing her info?

My 5+ yr. old iPhone 3GS is on it's last legs. I desperatly need to "back it up" ASAP, so I can buy a new iPhone, and I really need to be able to transfer my 5 years worth of info to a new iPhone, (a 4S). The computer I used to back my iPhone on when I first got it no longer works, so I was wondering about being able to back my iPhone up to my daughters laptop, but she also has an iPhone 3GS, that's already backed up to her laptop. I know you couldnt back up two iPhones up to one computer, (at least that's what I was told, years ago), but I was recently told by an "Apple" rep that I could "probably" back my iPhone up to her computer without losing anyone's info, if I created a "Secondary User Name Account" on her computer. I'm not comfortble doing this unless I'm reassured more than being told that it's "probably" safe.
Does anyone know what options I have, and if this idea would result in one or both of us losing our info, if we tried to store two iPhones "back up info" on one laptop?
My phone's barely working at all, but I can still access my info, (for now, at least). I really need to do something now.
Could anyone who knows how this works please give me some info?
Thanks in advance.

First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

I have a four month old Iphone 4, from the Apple store, And seems like every day something stops working on it. Today I can't hear the person thats calling, but they hear me fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

That is just the most recent problem. Other problems are the screen freezes all the time, and it won't scroll or do anything. Another is my keyboard lags as I type. another problem, is with some of my apps are constantly crashing. And It is not the apps itself per se, because my friends can be using the same app, and they are fine. Another would be emails not pushing. I will have some emails that show up, some will say I have new emails, but open to check and nothing there. Then other times i will have like 17 emails all show up at once, with some being sent days before. Another problem is my Wifi turns itself off all the time. Even when I am sitting less than 10 feet away from the router. And When I add new contacts, they are visible for a few days, then all the sudden they are nowhere to be found. Sometimes it will at least save the number in my contacts, and no name or other info. And other times it doesn't save anything. These are just a few of the many problems.
Because I got this phone shortly after the new IOS7 update, I thought since I had read about problems others were having after updating, may have been the reason I was having some initial problems. But they have only grown to more problems, and not getting better.
Has anyone else had these same problems? Do I just have a bad phone? If you have had any of these problems, were you able to get a fix and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

How do I get my data from my old iphone to a new iphone?

Hi
I backed-up the data from my old iphone via itunes onto my computer. Now, I have "restored" the replacement iphone- or so I thought. There is none of my old info onto this new phone. Help. I am at a loss. Where do I go to get all of my old data- contacts, apps, music, etc...
Thanks,
Cat

Nope.
Something went wrong.
I've done it twice now and followed the directions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Doesn't work. I have no contacts indicated and no notes, etc... from my old iphone.
I have an iphone 4 - so there is no SIM card. Maybe I didn't back up the data properly from the old iphone. I haven't deleted anything yet so I guess I could do the whole process over...
No clue.

How do I take an old iPhone off my account so that someone else can use it?

I gave my old iPhone to my husband and registered it with itunes but he didn't find it easy to use and gave it to our son who did the same exercise with it. However, because it is associated with my account and my husband's, my son can't do various things he wants to and it keeps telling him to delete that it has three accounts! How can this be sorted out?

Before selling or giving away an iOS Device...
If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then, on the device...
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > (scroll down) Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
Settings > iTunes & App stores. Tap the AppleID and sign out.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Unregister your device at https://supportprofile.apple.com

How do I get my old iPhone 4g to work with a new computer without losing all data on it?

I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retna display to replace a dead gateway running Windows XP. My iPhone 4 was always connected to the old gateway and I synced to the iTunes on it. Now I have my new MacBook up and running and have logged into its new iTunes and synced my new iTunes to my Apple ID and to the apple store. Everything looks good in the new iTunes. Problem is now when I connect my old iPhone to the new computer it's iTunes warns of my iPhone data about to be erased. How can I prevent losing all my stuff. I don't want to lose all my text messages on the iPhone. What can I do to prevent losing everything from my phone?

Ok thanks again for your reply, link to Apple article, and concern for my questions. That is very refreshing to have people willing to share their knowledge like you.
So why do you suppose we get this awful warning when we connect our iPhone to a new computer that all data on the phone will be deleted if we continue? Furthermore why don't we get a further explanation as to what to do sat that point?
I can not stand warnings like this that make me feel like I have done something wrong, that somehow I may be violating my terms of service. All that legalize is not customer friendly. Apple has always impressed my more that any company with excellent personal customer service but this is not good the way they scare you when you honestly are trying to move to a new computer with your old iPhone.

My notifications are not showing up on my iphone 5. They show on my old iphone 4 (without phone) and my iPad, but not my iphone 5

How can I get all the notifications to show in my iphone 5? I get the notifiactsions on my ipad and the old iphone 4 but cannot get them in the 5. Especially form facebook. All the settings appear to be the same. Am I missing something?

If you are syncing your contacts from your PC with iCloud, they are not transferred to your phone using iTunes. They are synced to your phone using iCloud, either over wifi or your cellular data network.
First go to icloud.com with your computer browser, sign into your account and open Contacts there to confirm that your contacts appear. If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contact on. Assuming your phone is either connected to wifi or your cellular data network, the contacts should then download from iCloud to your phone.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

I have missing songs that i purchased on my old iphone. they are not in my purchased folder. but in itunes store when i look the song up, it has the purchased logo next to it.... but no way to download it

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

My old iPhone was stolen and now I'm wondering how to transfer songs I'd purchased on my old iPhone to my new one. My iTunes account recognizes the sons I've purchased and I can see them in my purchases history but I don't know how to access them. HELP!

So, when I plugged in my new iPhone to my computer, all my music, info, pictures, etc was uploaded from the last time I had synced my old iPhone that was stolen. I'm happy I didn't lose everything, but I also had purchased at least $30 in music on my old iPhone (NOT through the computer, just off my device) since that last sync. So my problem is, my iTunes account completely realizes I've purchased all that music but it is NO where in my purchased library on my computer or new iPhone (so the whole "just right-click and transfer you purchases" gimmick is a no-go). And when I go to the individual songs I'd bought to try and get them back, all it says is I've already bought the song but won't tell me the NO MAN'S LAND that these songs are hiding in!!
I've looked up a bunch of threads and am still unsuccessful. I know that I should be able to get these purchases back onto my new iPhone and my authorized computer but I just have no idea how. It is becoming increasingly frustrating and I realllly do not want to spend another $30 on stuff I've already bought so anything would be helpful at this point.
Thanks,
Olivia

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?
