Settings of previous iphone interfering with new phone

My new 3gs is getting numerous errors when I sync it to itunes, like 'specified file not found' etc. Importantly, it views the new phone's storage at 4 gigs, not 16. How do I fix this?

Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone - don't use a backup.

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • IPhone 3GS antenna interfering with other phones?

    Does anyone know if the iPhone was known to cause "interferences" with other mobile devices? According to an employee at the iPhone provider in Saudi Arabia, Mobily, the iPhone 3G (released in late Feb 2009) antenna was interfering with other phones. They said that Apple didn't fix it with the 3GS so they can't release it.
    Did anyone else heard of something similar? Did any other carrier say anything about the iPhone antenna causing interference?
    (let me go on a quick rant about the iPhone 3GS release here):
    Another employee claimed that Mobily didn't meet expected sales (their own fault, they are hurting the iPhone 3G).
    What's really weird is all of the countries listed here

    got their iPhone 3GS in August. Only exceptions are: Saudi Arabia (Mobily), UAE (Etisalat) and Jordan (Orange). I am trying the feedback form, but, does anyone have any idea on why are these countries missing?
    Thanks

  • Syching Old iPhone backup with New iPhone

    I previously owned one of the original first generation iPhones, but that was recently stolen so I got a new 3GS for Christmas. I am syching it with my computer for the first time and iTunes is asking me if I would like to synch the new phone with my old phone's information. I need to know a few things before I can decide;
    1. Will the syching process completely erase everything I have on my new phone currently in favor of the old backup information (ex. contacts, notes, calender events, pictures, ect)?
    2. Would this be safe for the new phone, or would there be software problems between the different generations?
    Thanks

    A new iPhone is not synced with the backup for a previous iPhone. When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes that was used to sync a previous iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This will transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone as of the time your previous iPhone's backup was update.
    This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    After the backup is transferred to the new iPhone, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer the data to your new iPhone based on your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences, which will be pre-selected for your new iPhone based on the selections you had under the various tabs for your previous iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    1. Will the syching process completely erase everything I have on my new phone currently in favor of the old backup information (ex. contacts, notes, calender events, pictures, ect)?
    Yes.
    2. Would this be safe for the new phone, or would there be software problems between the different generations?
    The current iPhone firmware version can be run on every iPhone generation - on the original iPhone, on the 3G, and on the 3GS.

  • I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
    To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
    If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
    If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

  • TS4268 i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ?? :(

    i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ??

    If I get this right, you've ported your phone number to AT&T with the purchase of the iPhone. That is considered opening your own account under your name. Your brother's account is not ported to AT&T unless you used his SS# instead of yours. Your brother still has his account under Verizon Wireless, all you did was use your cell phone number to when you opened your own AT&T account.
    If you don't want to use your Verizon Wireless phone #, my suggestion is to call AT&T customer service and explain that you want a new phone number instead of the ported Verizon number.

    Transferring information from your current iPhone to a new iPhone

  • Combine old iphone info with new iphone info

    We were travelling, and my wife lost her iPhone.  We replaced the phone.  We are finally in a place where we can set up her iMac desktop machine.  I plugged in the new iPhone, and am being given the option to recognize this new iPhone as a 'new phone' or to restore the old phone.  Is there a way to ADD the old phone's info to the info already on the new phone?

    You can try to use the old backup of the lost phone as backup to restore from for the new phone. But this will erase the new phone and all settings will be set back to the time of the old backup.

    Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.

  • How do you restore iphone as a new phone?

    Hi there,
    How do you restore iphone as a new phone? Actually, I know how to restore it but I'm not sure how to get the files back on after... I don't really understand how this will be any different from just restoring from a backup if I'm just going to put the content on later anyways.
    Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
    The reason I'm asking about this is because my battery life on my 4S is soooo bad!
    Brandon

    Ah. So, the reason it'll help to use as new device is because typically the app data is not the issue. It's a corrupt system file. So using new device takes away any corrupt system files and almost always solves most any issue. However it does cause the pain of having to add everything back. I've done this in cases where restoring from backup just didn't solve my issue. It ***** but is sometimes needed.
