SWITCHING USERS FROM ONE IPHONE TO ANOTHER

My husband got an iphone 4 last week leaving his iphone3 available. My phone stopped working yesterday so i took it to att today and had them switch it to my number. Now i can receive calls and make calls on this phone but have non of my contact info, it still has all his contacts, pics, apps, etc.
I [plugged it into my computer and it registers it as his device not mine. How do i get it to register as mine?

You can do one of two things.
On the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Contents and Settings. This is a secure erase. Follow this by connecting the iPhone to iTunes and select what you want to sync or transfer to the iPhone under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Or you can restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup.
To change the name of the iPhone, the process is the same as changing the name of an iTunes playlist in iTunes, or changing the name of a file or folder on your computer's hard drive. With your iPhone connected to iTunes, click on the name of the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list to highlight the name area of the iPhone. Enter what you want the name of the iPhone to be.

  • What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another?

    What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another? Is there an app available that does this? I'm asking about receiving a call, then transferring that caller to another iPhone on a separate number and then disconnecting while those two users are joined up in a conversation.

    Ask your carrier. This would be a feature provided by them.

    All my music is stored on my iPhone 3G; the computer with it stored on it in iTunes crashed & I can't get the music off.  I'd like to move the music from my iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4, but I can't figure out how to do it.

    Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the new device with the iTunes library containing the content.

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • How do I transfer personal data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer personal data (contacts etc) from one iPhone to another (3GS to 4)?

    You're gonna have to start over if you want to use the backup of your 3GS to restore to your iPhone 4. So, in iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices...delete any and all backups listed for your iPhone 4(there should only be one). Then, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or so, then plug your phone in, iTunes running, name it what you want & restore it from your 3GS backup. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content back to your phone.
