Switching from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4

Hi all,
Basically i want to buy a sim free iphone 4 off the apple store, and use the same contract ive got on my 3GS (just put the contract onto the iPhone 4) but i understand that the iPhone 4 uses a "micro sim" which would mean i wouldnt be able to put my sim card from my 3GS directly into my iPhone 4 :/ can anyone suggest a way to get around this?
Many thanks

I did exactly the same thing, bought an iPhone 4 handset only for much spondoolies and then rang my carrier asking them to send me a micro SIM. They then swapped my number over with no bother at all. I'm stil on my previous non-iPhone contract.

I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

HT1766 I'm switching from iPhone 3GS AT&T iOS 4.3 to new iPhone 5 Verizon. Apple online suggests iTunes 11.0.1 on MB OS 10.6.8 to backup contacts, etc. How do I know if backup really worked? Can't find an iPhone contact in MB AddressBook? tx

I'm switching from iPhone 3GS AT&T iOS 4.3 to new iPhone 5 Verizon. Apple online suggests iTunes 11.0.1 on MB OS 10.6.8 to backup contacts, etc. How do I know if backup really worked? I created a new contact on my iPhone and a different one in my calendar on the MB. Connected iPhone to the MB and synched/backedup. However, I can't find my iPhone contact in MB AddressBook and vice versa. Did the backup work? I cannot afford to lose my calendar, contacts, etc when I get my new iPhone 5. thanks!

Making the switch from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 today. Purchased a SIM adapt

I have a 2 ATT/Apple/iTunes questions.
I am switching from a 3GS to a 4 today. I purchased a SIM adaptor so I can use the new mirco SIM in my 3GS. Once I activate my 4 will my 3GS be deactivated? ie will be able to swap my sim from one to the other and use each seamlessly?
My second questions is if iTunes will allow two iphones to be synced on a single computer/account simultaneously?
Thank you for the help everyone!

Yes, Upon activation of the SIM in the iphone 4, the SIM in the 3GS will be simultaneously deactivated. Only one SIM per mobile phone number can be active at one time.
My second questions is if iTunes will allow two iphones to be synced on a single computer/account simultaneously?
Yes.
Thank you for the help everyone!

Switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

I switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

Did you have them backed up anywhere? If not, they are most likely still on your iPhone 4. If you back them up to the cloud or to your computer, you could then place them on your new phone if you wanted.

Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software. I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching. Have your friend do the following:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "edit products"
Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
Click "unregister"
This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

After switching from iphone 4 to iphone 6 i lost sync with iMessage on my mac book

Hello
I have jsut switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Previously I could use iMessage sync'ed on my iPhone and my Mac-Book. Now I doesn't work anymore. I went into settings->messages->SMS transfert from the iPhone. I saw the Mac Book being referenced but when I put the switch into green it shows a pop-up asking me to pin-in the code that should be shown in Messages from the Mac-Book but nothing is posted there.
I hope I am clear. Just trying to get back to what I used to like as very convenient.
Thanks in advance for help.
Best
Pierre

Hello
In the meantime while I was working on the issue a window popped on my iPhone asking for my password for iCloud. So I wasn't connected to iCloud and after I connected it all went OK and iPhone 6 now coupled with iMessage on the Mac Book.
So I'm fixed and thanks again for your help.

How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5.

How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5. I've backed up my iCloud stuff on iCloud, and the rest on the PC. When I try to download the latest software before changing over I'm told my phone has not enough space with 8 still free. Any help appreciate. Thanks. Benbulben1

Syncing with a new iTunes should not affect your personal data. The problem is that iTunes can only allow apps, music, movies, and tv shows on the iPhone that are already on the computer and in your iTunes library. If your non-personal media content is on the computer then you can usually sync without worry even though the error will still appear.
If in doubt, right-click on the name of your iPhone in the left menu in Itunes and select transfer purchases to back up your iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases before the sync. Just be aware that this does not work for media from any other sources, so they will be removed from the iPhone if they are not already on the computer.

I just switched from iphone 4s to LG G3. I'm having issues with bluetooth in my car, iphone would sync automatically but with G3 I have to manually connect to my car's bluetooth every time I turn it on - it won't sync automatically. Any fixes?

You can turn on BT tethering but it disables Wifi so if I have to do that step every time I get in my car, I just as well manually connect on BT every time.

HT4993 I have switched from Iphone to galaxy and I can't receive messages from anyone using an Iphone. I have contacted sprint and they thought they resolved the issue, but I still can't receive messages from iphone user. How can this be resolved

I am having trouble receiving messages from friends that are using Iphone. I recently switched from Iphone to Galaxy Note 3

You'll need to contact Apple Support if you no longer have the iphone.

I switched from iPhone 4 to Android Galaxy 4S.

I switched from iPhone 4 to Android Galaxy 4S. I am not receiving all group text messages from iPhone users. I unregistered my iPhone from my apple profile. Sms and MMS are on on all devices. One person has to double tap the send button to send to me as a text. The others are just not coming through to me. They all receive my messages, but I get none of the replies.

Try these two tips (copied from other thread and apple support)
Let's get this resolved sbash! Please ask the sender of the message to try below options....
1. Log into iCloud and remove my old iPhone from my profile.
2. Reset the password on my apple ID so that any other ios device that used "my profile" would be forced to re-sync.
3. Remove the phone from my support profile, log in and remove the phone.
Go to your support profile, remove the iphone: http://bit.ly/17RD5sY
Also, go into your iTunes account and remove the iMessage settings from your phone number. On the iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>and click the Send as SMS button ON (make the button green). Ensure you have turned off iMessage on your old iPhone and erased the entire text thread between you and your contact you can't receive from. Have your contact erase their entire text thread from you as well, power off/on both phones and test. If you no longer have your iPhone to do so you will need to contact Apple Support. Please keep me posted. Thank you.

Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

Switched from iphone to galaxy - now not receiving texts from iphone users

Switched from iphone to galaxy for multiple reasons. Still keeping my iPad and wanted to use my iphone for music. Now I am not receiving texts, apparently imessages, from iphone users - there is no notification either way that a message was not received. So iphone users think I have received a text when I haven't. This makes me angry with Apple as there have been medical issues in our family and I have not been receiving important communication. I also have clients I have not received texts from. My understanding is I will have to delete my iphone from my apple account completely, but then will not be able to use it at all for itunes or anything else.

If you still have the iPhone, go to Settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't have the phone or if that doesn't solve the problem, contact Apple Support and request that they deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

Switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts

switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts
Turned off I message. Now what?

Do not expect ANY help from Apple.
I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.
