Restoring old Iphone after upgrade

I just upgraded to 3GS and want to restore the details of the old iphone across to the new handset but during setup I received a message saying that this could not be done as the software was too old and that I would need to update the software first and then restore the old iphone to the new. The software is now up to date but I don't know how to go back and restore the old iphone. Can anyone help?
Just to be sure I haven't got it completely wrong, My calendar, contacts, notes, apps etc are all synced but my language settings and text messages and stock settings etc are not, these things are transferable, right? It is possible that restore facility only extends to certain things. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Phil. Actually what I am looking for is some advice on how to find the option for 'recreating' the old iphone on the new one. I already had the option once but had to update the software first, now that I have done that I don't know how to go back and do it.
I really appreciate your help.

  • Use old iPhone after upgrade?

    I bought a new iPhone and transferred my data as described here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109, and new iPhone is working great. Is it necessary to erase all data on the old iPhone? Can I continue to use the old iPhone as an iPod Touch, keeping all my old apps and music on it? What will happen next time I sync it to iTunes? Will there be any mix up between the two phones?

    "Does this mean that when I buy an app on one device that it will also be available on the other one after syncing both of them to iTunes?"
    Yes, as long as they sync using your iTunes account, you can d/l apps to many iPhone/Tounch devices.

    After I updated to iOS 7.0.2, my iTunes keeps telling me to restore my iPhone, after I restored it. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...

    Backing up, Updating and Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • How can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water

    how can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water????

    There are a lot of posts here about your problem, read a few of them and they all come back to switching the phone off immediately and have it in a very good closed bag of dry rice for a week and advisely swith the rice for a fresh charge of dry rice every week for a number of weeks when it was really submersed. Ckuan advice times 3. The iPhone has a detector which indicates whether the iPhone was in the water, Apple can give you an indication about the price first if you visit them.

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

    iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).
