Syncing my old iPhone as well as my new one

Hi
I tried charging up my old iPhone on my Mac. I saw iTunes synced it with the same stuff as my new iPhone. My old iPhone is the 3G model while my new one is the iPhone 4.
I don't want my old iPhone to fill up with the stuff on my new iPhone. I was thinking I could use my old one as an iPod or something. If I want to make sure it doesn't fill up with the same software etc as my new iPhone do I need to rename it or something?
Thanks

    I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

    What is the precise wording of the error message that occurs on the old iPhone when attempting to do a backup?
    Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud?

  • I didn't back up my old iPhone when I got a new one. If I put my SIM card in my old iPhone and backup everything, will it transfer over to my new one?

    Just back it up to your computer using iTunes By connecting it to your compute, launching iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up (transfer purchases of prompted).  Then restore the iTunes backup to your new phone.

  • Will resetting my old iPhone delete anything from my new one?, Will resetting my old iPhone delete anything from my new one?

    Basically my mum got a new iPhone 5s as an upgrade to her iPhone 4s and she tells me that when she deletes things on her old one it deletes things on her new one. I can't iMessage her without it telling me that it is my step dad as he had the old one for about 3days. I have turned iMessage off on the old one but it is still happening.
    I thought the best option would be to delete everything from the old one and reset it to factory settings. However she is hesitant as she thinks everything will be deleted from the new one and the iCloud.
    I need to check the iMessage is turned on on the new one but she won't let me near it at the minute.
    And suggestions would be great

    There is nothing to delete.
    Plug the new iPhone in and sync.

  • Backing up from an old iphone to put on a new one

    Is there a way to know if your backup was successful, complete after doing a backup onto icloud?  I just tried doing a back up onto icloud from an old I phone in order to restore it onto my new phone.  I think it worked but I want to look on icloud to see what's on there to make sure it worked.  The old iphone has had some issues and the backup seemed to take a long time, so I'm not sure if it worked.  Thanks.

    Hello partulia4,
    As it turns out, there is a way to force a backup and double check when the latest back up was completed. The article "iCloud: Backup and restore overview" goes over the process as well as what get backed up. Here's the bit that applies to you:
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    You should also see "Last Backup: " below that button that indicates when back up was completed.
    Hope that helps,
    Griff W.

  • How do i sync an old Ipod nano account to a new one?

    My husband has an iPod Nano. He used to have it set up on an old computer linked to an email address that is now no longer in opperation. We have now put ITunes onto a new computer and he has created a new Itunes account under a new email address. He has now burned some CD's onto the account (under the new email address) however we can't work out how to put these songs onto his ipod nano?
    We plug his ipod in, and when we click on the device it shows all of his old songs on his nano, but we can't get the old and new songs to sync, or at least the new songs onto his nano and override his old songs.
    Can anyone help??

    Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want, sync

  • I forgot to backup old iphone before setting up the new one

    I got an iphone 5s today and forgot to backup the 4s before setting up my 5s. The last backup on the 4s occured Sept. 18th. The new 5s only has the content that happened before the 18th of course. Is there a way to redo all of this so I can retrieve that content?

  • Do I need to unlock my old iPhone before I get a new one?

    My contract with AT&T was up in June and I'm planning to re-sign when I buy iPhone 5. I currently have iPhone 4, which I was planning to give to my niece who currently has one of those pay-as-you-go phones. (She will not be using it with any major carriers.)
    My question is do I need to unlock my current iPhone 4 from AT&T before I buy iPhone 5? Or how would it work?

    It depends on which network your daughter is on.  If it's Orange UK, then no the iPhone 4 will not need unlocking, but if any other network, including 4GEE or T-Mobile, then yes you will first need to get it unlocked.
    That can be done by filling in this online form.

  • HT4623 My old iphone broke and i got new one suddenly i setup as new phone then i couldnot able to restore my icould backup and i have updated ios 7 can u help me

    hello

    Hello, haqmona. 
    As you setup your device as new, you will need to follow the steps as outlined in the article below to restore from your iCloud backup.

    I would recommend creating a backup via iTunes on your computer before processing these steps.

  • My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music

    Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?

    Not if it isn't in your itunes library.  If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library.  Sounds like that's what happened.
