Transfer from a 3GS to 5, but keep the 3GS for all but Phone use

I have ordered an iPhone 5, currently have a 3GS. I plan to backup everything on the 3GS and then restore to the iPhone 5 using iTunes.  Will I still be able to synch my 3GS when I plug it into iTunes to keep my applications etc. up to date? Will iTunes recognize both devices, the 3GS and the new iPhone?  Do I need to disable anything on the 3GS if I basically want to use it as an iPod without calling capability?  I am switching carriers from AT&T to Verizon. I saw some mention of taking the SIM card from the new IPhone 5 and plugging into the 3GS before I synch, but then what do I do?  I assume I have to return the SIM card to the iPhone 5.  What about the old card in the 3GS? 

OK! I have my new iPhone 5 and the entire transfer from the 3 GS went well. All my apps, music, photos, contacts, calendat etc. were transferred over, and all the files went into their previously designated folders.  One problem!  I cannot find FACETIME and the new MAP icons anywhere! I have OS 6 of course.  There is are no icons either on the phone, or any named Apps in iTunes under the IPhone 5 apps list.  Nothing in the "search" findings in the iPhone.  Where did they go?  I used iTunes to replace my existing GS, and I did n otice that iTunes first backed up whatever came with my iPhone 5 before restoring my settings from the 3GS and then later synching to hget all my apps etc.  I have Facetime on my iPad and iMac, so it might be nice to use it occasionally with others from the iPhone 5. BTW, my Google Maps app. was synched over to the Phone 5, so I still have it, but no new maps program from Apple. Where did all these go, and how do I get them back to the iP 5??

  • Hi kids, my first day using apple, anyway, is a Power Book 4.1 , bought from someone else,and i dont have the password for the key chain, and no chances of getting it, the screen, for the password keeps on coming up, any ideas?

    my  first day using apple, i love it, is a power 4.1, older, but is ok to learn it, however, i bought it from someone , and i was not
    given the password for key chain, so, this screen keeps on coming up, and i dont know the password, so i keep on canceling out
    of it, ..... any ideas on how to fix this problem, is the key chain, that you can access through utilities, but i dont have the old password, that is my first
    problem
    my second problem is that the key board, closer to the screen, is coming out, as it needs to be put in place, you would imagine you can
    put it back in place, but, not sure i should mess with it, any input would be greatly appreciated it
    thank you
    lisa

    Hi, Lisa. Now I see what you're desperate about.
    Does it allow you to go ahead and use the iBook after you cancel the Keychain login? If so, it's not a big deal.
    Are you able to go to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new account for yourself? That should eliminate Keychain password problems.
    Check out these instructions on replacing the keyboard:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111917
    Maybe they will help you get it seated better. It's considered a customer-installable part, so it should be easy enough for you to handle without worrying about goofing anything up.
    What CDs (if any) came with the iBook?
    Which version of the operating system is it running?
    How big is the hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If it's the original hard drive, it's getting very old and could fail at any time. The identifier "PowerBook 4,1" tells me that the iBook is ten years old, and is either a 500 or 600 MHz PowerPC G3 (Dual USB) iBook. As such, you can't expect a whole lot from it.
    The optical drive on this iBook could be a CD-ROM (reads CDs only), CD-RW (reads and writes CDs; no DVD capability), DVD (reads CDs and DVDs), or Combo (reads and writes CDs; reads DVDs) drive.
    Good luck with it.

  • Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

  • Can i move my apps from itouch to iphone 4S and keep the saved stuff ive done so far

    can i move my apps from itouch to iphone 4S and keep the saved stuff ive done so far

    If the developers of the apps have followed Apple's guidelines, the data should be in the backup made in iTunes, so you should be able to just restore the iPhone 4S from the most recent backup of the iPod touch, re-sync your apps, and you should be good to go. If any of the data is critical, though, you may want to confirm with the developer of the app, just in case they have some special procedure.
    Regards.

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

  • ME21N : Donu2019t copy the price for all condition types from last po

    Dear.
    When I create a purchase order the price for all condition types are copied from last purchase order inside the info-record.
    But I have some condition types like FRA1 or FRA2 that I donu2019t want that system transfer price from last purchase order.
    How can I do that ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cris,
    Go to SPRO>MM>PUR>Info Record>Define Price History> Here with your Purchasing organization if the tick is active that
    Specifies that the order price history (PO price history) is to be updated with the effective price.
    Normally, the order price history is updated with the net price.
    Procedure
    Set this indicator if you want the order price history to be updated with the effective price.
    Thanks

  • How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • N97 Keeping the Display ON all the time

    Is there anyway to do this?
    The max time I can keep the display on for is 60 second, EVEN if the phone is connected to the mains adapter. This is rather stupid since there are times when I want the screen on all the time - eg. when connected to a power adapter in the car and running a GPS maps routing program.  I know Nokia Maps has an option to keep the screen on all the time, but as far as I can see Garmin MobileXT does not.
    It seems odd to me to have to build this option into Nokia Maps - why not make it available as an option in the actual Symbian OS, then it doesn't need to be coded into every single app running on that platform.
    Perhaps I am missing something? What do others do to get round this limitation?
    Thanks

    Where, exactly, did you read anything from Apple that suggested that iCloud Photostream was permanent storage?
