Trouble w/ switching from iPhone 1 to 3G and restoring backup

Hi everyone! I'm new to iPhones so please be patient...
My husband gave me his iPhone 1 a few months ago to use (he upgraded to the iPhone 4). Today, I got an iPhone 3G and tried to switch. I backed up the iPhone 1 on iTunes first and everything seemed to go fine. I then put the SIM card from the iPhone 1 into the 3G, plugged it into iTunes and tried to restore from the backup I just made. The restoration/syncing went fine as far as I could tell, iTunes told me it's ok to disconnect the phone, but then my data is still not on the 3G. Everything on it is back to my husband's old data from the iPhone 1, from before I got it from him.
I hope all that makes sense.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? What can I do to get my data on the 3G? Is it all lost, or if I put the SIM back in the iPhone 1, will everything still be there?
Thanks!

Just an update: I put the SIM card back in the iPhone 1 and all my data is there. So obviously I'm doing something wrong in the backup/switch process. Anyone know what?

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

I have completely deleted twice! Deleted from iCloud contacts and windows contacts! Nothing has changed! Thanks for your idea!

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

How do I backup my iPhone to iCloud and restore backup to my iPad? My intention is to restore default settings to my iPad to start over and get it synced back up with my iPhone and not loose the apps on my iPad that are for iPad only.

I hope I am making sense to you. Thank you very much.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

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.

HI I will suggest you to use the Xperia Transfer feature to help transfer most of your data from your iphone to the Xperia Z3, that should also include your notes to be transfered.
Aside from that, the notes app for Xperia for some country will preload with scatch or Google Keep and some with both. Just take note of that.
Hope this helps to resolve your concern.

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!

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

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 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/
