UPGRADING FROM ORIGINAL IPHONE. HELP HELP HELP HELP

is it possible to upgrade from the original stainless steel 1st generation iPhone to the new iPhone3Gs.

Yes. I did. Order from the Apple Store. $199 for the 16GB, $299 for the 32GB. Two year contract required. They'll deliver it to your door. Activate in iTunes. Remove SIMM card from your old iPhone and do whatever you want with the old phone. zoz

Upgrading from Original iPhone to iPhone 3GS help!

Okay, I just read an article stating that it will cost a fat wallet to upgrade from the 3G to the 3GS, because of the whole contract early/late upgrade thing whatever. I still have the normal iPhone and I didn't upgraded to the new 3G. My contract has long been done and fulfilled. Do I have to pay the same crazy amount as 3G users to upgrade or will I have the benefit of buying it with the original $199/$299 price?

Hey Leprechaun251,
I think you may have some luck here. As you said, you have already completed your 2-year contract, right?
If so, then I think you can enjoy that subsidized price by opening a new two-year AT&T wireless service contract.
Still, I think you should contact AT&T to clear this ideas. Hope this helps!

Upgrading from Original to 3GS. Please help.

I am wanting to upgrade my original generation iPhone to the newer 3Gs. I am planning on giving my wife the original generation iPhone to replace her Blackberry Curve. My question is:
Once I purchase the new 3Gs, will the new phone sync with iTunes and put all my current Apps like I have everything on this current phone? I assume once I register the phone with iTunes my phone number will be transferred to the new phone? As for my wife, how will she get her phone number to the original iPhone that I am giving her? Does she just register the original phone on iTunes as well or should she swap out her SIM card with the one in the original phone?
Please help, this is my first iPhone upgrade and I don't want to mess anything up and lose all my Apps that I have. Thanks!

See this: How to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
Here are AT&T's instructions for your wife: Give these instructions to the new iPhone user to activate or upgrade:
Customers new to AT&T or adding a new line to an AT&T account:
1. If an AT&T SIM card is not provided, visit an AT&T Store and inform them you need a SIM card for your iPhone (www.wireless.att.com/find-a-store/).
2. If an AT&T SIM card is provided, insert the SIM card into iPhone.
IMPORTANT: If your activation was processed in an AT&T store, you must choose the Existing
Customer option in iTunes.
3. Complete the activation process at home or work via iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes
Existing AT&T Customers
1. Use current AT&T SIM card.
2. Complete the activation process at home or work via iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes
The iTunes activation process will perform a credit check when activating a new line of service. iTunes will also allow you to transfer your number from a different wireless carrier, select a rate plan and required data plan, upgrade your text message package, set up your iTunes account, accept iPhone and AT&T Terms and Conditions, and download the latest version of software to your iPhone.
How to Insert/Remove the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, insert the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray (located at the top of your iPhone). Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. Insert the SIM card so that it is positioned within the tray’s form. The gold side will be visible if the SIM card is positioned correctly. Close the tray.

Upgrading from Origina iPhone to iPhone 3G

So as my title states I'm thinking of upgrading, I've had my OG iPhone for quite a while and after playing with a buddy's 3G phone I think I'm hooked. I'm just wondering if it is as simple as buying the phone and plugging into iTunes or what. Also I'm wondering if theres a required change in phone plans. Any help is appreciated, maybe this is easier than I am making it out to be.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

the best thing about upgrading is if you ever crack your screen it's ALOT cheaper to fix! my husband cracked the screen on the original iPhone. the only problem was that the LCD and the Lens are connected so you have to replace both. However, on the 3G iPhone, the Lens and LCD are separate. So if you crack your screen, all you have to do is replace the Lens instead of both parts (LCD's are alot more expensive!). When I cracked my screen on the 3G iPhone, i mailed it in to a repair center called Dr. Cell Phone. they fixed it for $99 and sent it back to me on the same day. good service. here's their website just in case any of you already have that problem (hopefully not!): www.drcellphone.com

Best way to upgrade from original iPhone to 3Gs?

I've got an original iPhone that's having some problems which may make me get a 3Gs.
I'm looking for suggestions, tips, advice on things to consider when making the switch. Will the iTunes backup be sufficient to keep all my data, apps, contacts, calendars and everything else?
Any input is appreciated.

Couple things I'd add to what's already posted...
1) Over the several upgrades I've done from 2G to 3G to 3GS for some reason I've found that not upgrading from a back up seems to give me a better end result...obviously the choice is yours...but if you have synced all data like calendars contacts email etc with a MAC or PC that will just be transferred back during your first sync then no harm in starting fresh with a clean copy of the 3.1.2 OS and then adding all data on...
2) When you upgrade, make sure you're using the very latest versions of iTunes...then make sure that ALL apps are up to date on BOTH iTunes AND iPhone BEFORE you sync for first time...for some reason I've found folks, myself included having issues with authorization and apps not transferring and most times it was due to the entire app library not being up to date on both sides before the upgrade...

Upgrade from Original iPhone

I have an original iPhone and it says on AT&T that I can get a discounted upgrade. Does anyone know how much this would be?
Also do you know if any AT&T dealers still have an 8G White iPhone for Sale?

Facetime is just disappeared from my iphone 6 can anybody help me out plz

facetime is just disappeared from my iphone 6 can anybody help me out plz

Where did you get the phone? FaceTime is banned in some countries in the Middle East. What had you done before it disappeared; did you possibly reset or restore the phone?
If the above is not the issue, if you use Search by dragging down your finger from the center of the screen and you search for "Facetime" does it appear as an app? If it does, then you must have moved it into a folder or another page of the Home screen. If it is in a folder the folder name will be displayed.

HT1349 Since I switch to iCloud, I cannot sent emails from my iPhone. Any quick help? I don't have time to go through the Apple web of "Solutions" thanks in advance! Anyone! Thanks.

You can't send emails? Do you receive an error message when you try to send them? Have you done ANY troubleshooting on the device at all? If you don't have time to try things yourself, it will almost certainly take longer to try it in here.

I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play. Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

I recently upgraded from my iPhone 3 to iPhone 4S. My old iPhone had been unable to sync for some time and I blamed it on the faulty cable. With my new cable I tried to sync the 3 before advancing to the 4S to be sure I had all my data. Will not sync.

I recently upgraded from my iPhone 3 to iPhone 4s. My old iPhone had not completed a sync in some time because of a faulty cable. But the old phone still will not sync properly even with the new cable.
Now that I have my new iPhone, I would like to first sync the old phone so all the data will be available for the new phone. I would also like to have an extra copy of my audio ebooks on the old iPhone so my husband and I can both listen at the same time using earphones while driving long distances in the car and then discuss the book. We have been unable to do this with the old iPhone alone due to constant road noise.

I'm not sure what made the difference, but I tried again and it worked this time. ???????????
