Replacement 3GS - What OS?

Hi all - I just sent my phone to Apple Care due to a heated battery issue, so they are sending me a new one. My question is - What OS do you think will be loaded?
I'm hoping that I can just added my SIM card, turn it on and have OS 3.1.3 loaded - with no need to connect to iTunes (well, until I need to re-add my apps, etc).
Anyone else recently have their 3GS replaced? I'm curious...
Tks!

I just got a replacement 3gs from my Apple Store.
I let the genius know my problems started with my iOS4 Upgrade and I ended up with an " older replacement" with 3.1.3.
I am NOT planning upgrading to OS4 anytime soon...and still don't know if my problem started from a bad device, poor network or iOS4 glitches.

How much it cost to replace 3gs battery in Egypt ?

Please, I want know, How much it cost to replace 3Gs Battery in Egypt ?

You're welcome.
FYI:
A third-party repair shop will be cheaper/quicker. However, going that route voids all warranty/support. But, if you don't have any warranty left, might be a good option. Do your homework...find a shop that knows what they're doing.
Good luck.

HT1719 I have music on my Shuffle and want to transfer it onto iTunes but when I go to Sync it, it warns me that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what's on my iTunes. I have a new mac-mini and my old computer was an HP.

Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!

HT1296 itunes recogizes my iphone, but says if I sync, the music will be replaced by what is in the library (not what I want). How do I get what's on the iphone to the library?

This happens everytine I get a new computer - I am trying to upload the music on my iphone to itunes. The device shows in itunes, but when i ask to sync, it says the music on the phone will be replaced with what is in the library. I want the phone's library imported to the itunes on my computer. How do I do that?
Thank you.

f it happens every time you get a new computer, one would think you would have figured it out by now...
Media sync is one way. Computer -> Phone. Copy the media from your old computer to the new computer. Then let iTunes wipe it off of your phone and re-sync.
The only media you can transfer from the phone to the computer is media purchased on the phone from the iTunes store. Use File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes to do that.

See:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

HT4913 It says that when I turn on I tunes match that it will erase the music library on my iOS devise and replaced by what is in the cloud. But I have imported a lot of cd's into my iOS devise and don't want to loose those songs and I don't want them del

I Had to reinstall windows on my computer. I made sure all my songs etc were on my iPods/iPad. Now when I plug the iPod in it says (in iTunes Match) that my music library will be deleted and replaced by what is in the cloud. However I don't want those songs erased. I want them to go up to the I tunes match cloud.
so that I can down load them again.
also how do I get I tunes match to remember my playlists? It only has album etc.
thank you so very much. I appreciate any help.

It means you will get a refurbished iPhone in exchange for the faulty one you sent in.

You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?

That's almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it.
You can not get help for a hacked or jailbroken phone here.

Apple does not fix iPhones, they replace them if covered by warranty. That means you'll be getting a refurbished unit.

Replacement 3gs iphone

I've been given a replacement 3gs by apple becuase my battery failed ( i paid $55 for replacement) - how do I get a phone number for it? I ported my number to my new 4s ages ago ...

Well, to get a phone number, you need service, & to get service you need a carrier & activated sim card. So, go to your carrier's store, take the phone, select your plan & they'll set you up.

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
CD-i200 iPod cable for above
Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Apple are you listening??
