Switching from the original iPhone to the iPhone 3GS

Ok, so I have the old school iPhone. The one before all this 3g nonsense came into play. I am thinking about upgrading to the new 3GS.
So lets say I do decide to upgrade. When I put my SIM card from my old iphone into the new one, will I keep all of my text conversations, recent calls, voicemails, last page I visited on youtube/safari? I know when you sync your iphone it backs up data into itunes. But im just not sure what exactly what all of the data it does back up, you know what I mean?
Oh, and if I back up data on my old school iPhone, then sync a brand spankin new 3gs to the same itunes i backed up data on my old school iphone, will all my data switch to the new one?

Not the way to go. You get a new SIM and use that. Apple instructions are here:

One thing you can try
Turn iMessage off on your phone
Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU to the original iTunes on an iPad. If it is can someone explain how to do it?

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU on my iPad to the original iTunes. If it is can someone tell me how, and is this something that commonly happens?

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no "preinstalled iTunesU" on an iPad. The iTunes app is a portal to the iTunes Store. Use the icons at the bottom of the page to switch to different sections of the store. Use the Music app or the Videos app to access iTunes media you have synced to the iPad.
To learn more, refer to the iPad iOS5 User Guide

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I want to change the sync on iTunes on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

maybe be more specific...
you can sync multiple devices to the same itunes account on the same laptop. Simply plug in the new iphone 4s and check off all the settings you want to sync (apps, music, playlists, books, videos, etc).
If you want your iphone 4s to look exactly like your 3gs...
1. do an icloud backup of your 3gs
2. restore your iphone 4s to factory settings
3. when setting up the phone, choose "restore from icloud backup"
4. choose the most recent icloud backup (should display the date and time of the 3gs backup you just performed
5. phone will load everything just as it is on the 3gs... onto the iphone 4s

How to recover photos from photo in Iphone 3GS after updating to the IOS 6.0.1?

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Hello vikings2013
You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

My new Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old Iphone 3gs on itunes. How do I restore it back to 4g?

My New Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old IPhone 3gs on Itunes. How do i get it to restore back to the 4g?

There is no 4g.
If you don't want to restore it with your old iPhone information, then just restore as a NEW phone, not from the backup. Don't quite understand what there's not to get. :-|

Switching From The Original BlackBerry Storm to Droid X

Ordered my phone through Verizon on 8/25. My X is expected to ship by 9/9. Anyone else switch from the BB Storm? If so, what should I expect from the X? Is there a big difference?
FWIW, I absolutely loath the Storm. It's the worst phone I've ever owned. So, I'm expecting/hoping for a lot from the X

My wife and I also went from BB to Droid. She got the Droid 2 (Came in day after I ordered on the phone) to replace her Curve and I got the X (arrived two weeks later) to replace my Storm 1. What a difference! Here's the rundown of what I see different so far (had it for just over a week).
1. Fast! Everything is fast. Browser loads pages several times faster than the Storm. Scrolling, pinch to zoom, and every other aspect of browsing is amazing in comparison. I used to dread getting on the web with the Storm and would prefer to wait till I could get to a computer. Not any more! Switching apps is equally speedy and multitasking is awesome.
2. Much better memory management. I had quick pull on my Storm scheduled to reboot every morning and was still getting slow and hourglasses by early evening. I haven't had to reboot my X yet for slowdown. I also have tons more apps installed. I was down to only a few apps on my Storm to free up as much memory as possible. I just keep downloading more on my X with no problems.
3. The screen does take a little getting used to. I was in the habit of letting my finger rest on the screen to keep it on with my Storm. It can be pretty sensitive for typing as well. I get a few extra letters here and there but I'm getting better. (Using swype helps alot).
4. Did I mention it's fast?
5. Battery life is about the same. Except I am still playing with the X alot more.
6. I wasn't a big business user and already use gmail for my personal email, as well as google calendar. I had google sync on my Storm so the transition was easy there. My wife does use a pop account for her work email so it is kind of a bummer that it isn't push like the BB, but she's ok with it. Switched from using BB Messenger to Google Talk with no problems either. If you have a big list of contacts in BB Messenger, keep an eye on an app called CrossTalk that promises to be able to send BBM messages from Android phones.
7. Kinda bummed there isn't a unified inbox like on my Storm, but having everything show up in the notification drop down is just as good.
8. It's fast, even without battery pulls!

That would be a Facebook issue.
You could try this: On your old iPhone log out of Facebook and see if that works.

My Ipod screen continuously switches from the Apple icon to the passcode.

My Ipod touch screen continuously switches from the Apple icon to the passcode. I have tried a soft and hard reset and neither has worked. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPOd from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free except for yuor time.
If when you connect the iPod to your computer the iPod does not appear in iTunes so you can restore the iPod, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

This problem is often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.
