Upgrading from a Blackberry to iPhone4

I see all the questions re upgrading from an older iPhone. Can anyone fill me in on what will be involved in upgrading from a Blackberry (I'm so excited & can't wait to upgrade)? Any additional steps? If the phone is sent to my home, can I get it going through iTunes? Thanks.

There is no upgrade option from a Blackberry or from any other phone besides an iPhone.
If you pre-order online with Apple, you can have the iPhone shipped to your home or office, or have it delivered to an Apple store if there is one nearby. If delivered to your home or office, someone must be available to accept and sign for the delivery.
Everything is done with iTunes - transferring your iTunes music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and 3rd party apps. If you use iPhoto on your Mac for photo storage and management, you can transfer select iPhone albums, events, and faces to your iPhone, and iPhoto can be used to import photos and videos captured by your iPhone. Since you have a Mac, in regards to contacts and calendar events the iPhone can be synced with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process with iTunes serving as the sync conduit for this data.

  • Upgrade from iPhone 4 to 4S and all photos in Camera Roll went missing

    I upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone4S. I did a restored from my last backup before the upgrade and all my photos in my camera roll has disappeared!
    What I discover is that it is still stored in the iPhone 4S as it took up 25GB of storage. However, it is not accessible inside the iPhone 4S. The photos are stuck in the iPhone 4S and taken up a lot of storage in the iPhone. Please help!

    What I meant was I bought a new iPhone 4S and restored my backup of my old iPhone 4 into iPhone 4S and the camera roll photos that were in the old iPhone 4 did not show up in my iPhone 4S despite occupying space in the iPhone 4S ...

  • I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

    I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

    We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore

  • I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

    I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
    To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
    If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
    If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

  • I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone.

    I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone. Only silence until the call is answered. Has anybody else had this problem? Has it got to do with the ios8 upgrade? (Actually 8.02)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s now I can't sync the ringtones from music that I purchased from itunes to correspond with my contacts.  How can I get it where I know who is calling from the ringtones I used to have?

    I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s and now my ringtones are gone.  I still have the music that I  bought from iTunes that I made the ringtones from but I can't seem to get anything to work.  Help!  Thanks.

    For the font problems, try the "Safe Mode" suggestion in this old thread:

  • Need to upgrade from OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.5......

    Hey all,
    I have a Blackberry Tour 9630 that I want to sync to my Powerbook. Blackberry released their Mac software just today, however the minimum OS allowed is 10.5.5.
    I know I have gone as far as I can with free upgrades to my O.S., but can I download updates and pay for them, or do I need to go into the Apple Store and buy a hard copy with the install disk? Can I just buy 10.5 and then do the upgrades from there to get up to 10.5.5?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance......

    Silly Rabbit,
    The only time a dual layer disc is necessary is if you are making a personal backup not for use for anyone else of the Leopard disc. The system specs as indicated are sufficient for installing Leopard. If you have no DVD drive, and your machine either came with a CD drive, or has had its optical drive replaced with a hard drive, then an external Firewire DVD drive that supports Mac OS X booting would be necessary for a PowerPC Mac. As all Aluminum Powerbook 15" models are at least 867 Mhz, that part of the requirement has been met. And this is a forum for discussing the Aluminum model. A good question would be to verify they do indeed have an aluminum model.
    phoenix1030,
    To verify, you do have an Aluminum model and not a Titanium model? The Aluminum Powerbook G4s have side USB ports, whereas the Titanium has rear USB ports between the hinges.

  • Remove all information completely from a Blackberry Curve 8520?

    my relative upgraded her phone and gave the phone to me.  I'm getting rid of all information.  But the email address is still on the phone. 
    Is there a way to reset the entire phone so everything is gone?
    Also what does the 4 side buttons do?
    Thanks.

    You may also want to check with the person you got the device from to make sure they have removed the PIN number from their BlackBerry Internet Service account. If they did not then you may still end up with the email address on the device and you may not be able to add your own email addresses.

  • Upgraded from 3 to 4, why didn't my apps synch?

    I just upgraded from 3G to 16G with a new Iphone4.  When I synched it to my computer, none of my purchased Apps loaded onto the new iphone.  Do I have to go to App Store and get them again?  My old 3G phone is still connected to the server, but my new 16G phone doesn't seem to be able to connect to the server...not a WiFi problem, but a server problem.  Before I call my internet provider, wondered if I could figure this out with help from the community... HELP!

    I'm guessing by 16G you mean an iPhone 4 16gb.
    When you connect your new iPhone to the computer, select it from the device pane on the left.
    Then Select the Apps tab at the top.
    Do you have Sync apps selected?

  • Over 1100+ BBM Contacts PIN Missing when upgrading from 9780 to Z10

    Hi
    Please help, I've lost over 1100 BBM Contacts, when upgrading using the Blackberry User ID, and when I reload them on my old 9780, it's not there anymore, these contacts are so important, I collected them for sales for over a year's period, very market specific and high net worth individuals which are very hard to come by.
    now I only got 75 contacts on my Z10
    Chronologies
    At the start, there was 12 categories consisting each 100 contacts on my 9780.
    First I signed in with my blackberry id on my new Z10 and transferring data from the 9780 using Blackberry Link.
    and then it doesnt work, there's only 75 contacts on my z10 (I've used a dakota with the blackberry id before which has BBM 7 installed, and then switched to iPhone when the Dakota was missing, I'm guessing the 75 contacts is from when I used the Dakota)
    and then I wipe out my Z10 with factory reset, I installed BBM 7 on my 9780 in the hope to restore my contacts when it auto updates my blackberry ID.
    again I login with BB ID to my Z10, still got 75 contacts on my Z10, I wipe it clean again.
    then I decided I wanted to revert to an older version of BBM and use local backup on my 9780, so I deleted my BBM 7 from my 9780... and reinstalled it from the Blackberry World...
    And then there was no contacts on my 9780 except for the 75 contacts.
    Is there any way I can restore my 1100 BBM Contacts? I've always set back up remotely when using my 9780 with BBM 6.2
    Thanks, really need it
