What to do when you buy a new iPhone?

if i will buy a new iphone, will all my existing apps and purchases transfer automatically if my phone number and plan do not change?

All good suggestions and all correct. My recommendation is to backup as close to the time of getting the new phone, because anything done between the backup and restoring the new phone from backup will be lost. I lost some data from a game that I played between the two, yea, yea, I know, big whoop. But served as a reminder to back up.

  • When you buy a new iphone do you charge it until it says 100% charger?

    When you first charge a new iphone do you only need to charge until it says 100% charger or should you charge for 12 hours?

    There is no set time. You can charge whenever you like, & for as long as you like. You can't overcharge, & charging automatically stops when your battery is full. The Lithium battery in your phone has no memory effect.
    Just start using your phone.

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
    Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
    At&t, yes but there may be a caveat
    Outside the USA, I don't know, we need to know your current Tariffe/plan to help.
    Contact your carrier to negotiate any loose ends.

  • When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

    Hey Davin12,
    Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
    About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
    iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
    The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What happens exactly when you buy a phone from a third party?

    My contract is going to end this month and I have a $50 gift card to Best buy. I already posted up a question but for this post I want to know exactly what will I get and what will I won't get.
    I'm hoping to buy a Droid Incredible or a Droid X2 or a Droid 3. (Have any reviews about one, two, or all of them? if you can please type them up... I already read reviews from the webpage and on google but you know more reviews are better)
    So first of all, I want to get the Droids from Bestbuy... I want to. Not I have to. Otherwise, I can get a phone in a nearby Verizon store.  (And I know that sometimes third party stores are bad and this one person said she got hers from walmart. But a lot of technology from walmart is bad. Bestbuy is a lot better in having better condition, quality, etc technology.)
    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?
    Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?
    Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?
    If there are other things that I will get or won't get, please state what they are
    Finally, I've been asking specific questions about updating but since none of them apply to me, I want to know what I am eligible for.
    For a brief description: I had an LG EnV 3 but I lost that one and instead of buying a new phone, I just traded my mom's old phone (which was broken so she got a new, same type phone that she graciously gave me). And according to the employee there, when I traded phones, I was still eligible in upgrading to a new phone... Anyway, my mom's actual phone (not the one that I have) is the first line on the family plan. I will ugprade my phone when my two year contract expires.
    So what do you think I'm eligible for?
    I thought I was going to get $100 off but someone says that that's only for the first line... which is kinda confusing since the verizon employee said that me and my sister will get $100 when we upgrade our phones.
     I'm going to call Verizon either today or tomorrow but it's always good to know what non-employees know as long as its valid.

    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?----From what I heard they do have their own insurance program that hey take out of your card directly. If you get it and Verizon teels you that you dont have insurance, dont freak out cause they cant see that.----- Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?---- I dont know what you mean by a demo, but they do have phones on display to demo last I checked.------- Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?---- They have a 30 day guarantee I believe, but remember that's for the phone, not for the contract thru vzw.====$100 is for primary line only, rep at store apparently wasnt paying attention or somethin lol. other than that, best buy is a 3rd party, which probaly has their own contract you will probaly sign, so you will need to read their terms throughly!!!

  • When to buy a new iPhone?

    I have had an iPhone since November of 2007, and it's starting to show its age... The music skips sometimes when I'm using the phone in my car, Safari unexpectedly quits on me on occasion, and sometimes the phone does things that are just plain weird, like the keyboard popping up on the menu screen (not the search screen). Anyway, I want to get another iPhone to replace it, but I am unsure of whether or not I should get the 3Gs or wait for a new version to come out. I can't find any information on when Apple is planning to release a new version of the phone, and I'd be pretty mad if I bought a new phone and then see the company announce something 10x better a few weeks later.
    I've read that the 3Gs is such an immense improvement over the original version that I would undoubtedly be satisfied, but I figured that if Apple is coming out with a whole new version in 2010 I might as well wait for it. Any thoughts?

    We're all users, just like you, so no one here knows what Apple's plans are. However, if history is any indication, we'll most likely see a new iphone around June of this year.

  • Tired Of Re-Doing 40 Home Screen Icons When I Buy A New iPhone (or Touch)

    I love my 3G and just bought a new 32gb iPod Touch. I plan on buying my wife and kids 3G's too.
    Question:
    I've got 40+ shorcuts to webapps (not app store apps mind you)and Safari URL's on my home screen, each with its own custom icon.
    Is there a way that I can get my new iTouch and the 3 new 3G's I'm going to buy to sync to something (a backup?) so that I don't have to re-enter the URL's and all those icons again?
    I almost tried the 'backup' option on first sync, but decided against it for fear that iTunes would only allow one device to be sync'd to a backup and thus cause a problem when I re-sync'd the original device.
    Help.
    Is there a way to save time on all the URL/icon re-do's?
    TIA

    If you want all iPhone settings for your iPhone including web apps and web clips to be the same on a new iPhone or iPod Touch, the only way to do so is the restore option from your iPhone's backup, which should not affect anything else with the original device.
    Each iPhone and/or iPod or iPod Touch can have its one sync preferences with the same iTunes library and iTunes account, and each can receive the same backup without having any affect on the original device.

  • Recovery for deleted photos when i buy a new iphone

    I have a new iPhone and taken some pictures with it. When I connected the device to my mac, I clicked transfer/sync my files to new iphone. Then my all new photos were gone! How can I restore these photos?

    You should have imported the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer before you selected to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone.
    The photos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are gone and not recoverable. Not possible to restore the photos since you chose not to import the photos first along with selecting to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone which replaced the contents in the Camera Roll with the contents that were in the Camera Roll with your previous iPhone.
    For future reference, always import these photos with your computer ASAP as with any other digital camera.

  • When asking about connecting apple said only connect to 1 pc what happens when you buy a new pc?

    I am thinking of switching to a mac. We have three iPods in the house and loads of pcs. Last time I upgraded my lap top I had to open a new I tunes account and couldn't sync the music that was on my iPod with the pc and it has caused me issues ever since. How do you get around this as we have just bought another iPod and as I am upgrading my pc don't want to have the same issues in the future?

    You cannot switch from using iPod nano with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC, without erasing all data on iPod nano.

  • MFP 1217nfw How to Change Network Name and Password When You Buy a New Routers

    I have an MFP 1217nfw.  It was working fine wirelessly.  Then my router stopped working properly.  I bought a new router and easily set up my computers, iPad and iPhones to work with it.  But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that it will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and password that the printer uses to connect).  Anyone know how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it were fresh out of the box?  Thanks for your help.

  • Hello I just broke my iphone 4s bacause I dropped it on ny tile floor I also have apple care but I heard that the apple store is not selling them where I live so what are my possibilities on getting a new iphone because I love my iphone 4s!?

    Hello

    That was money to they would give to me on a gift card towards the purchase of a new iPhone. The price of the new phone depends on whether you are eligible for an upgrade.
    It has nothing to do with AppleCare and they will not upgrade you through AppleCare. You would need to get your iPhone repaired then have them inspect the repaired phone, make you an offer and give you a gift card. You also must use the gift card towards an iPhone and sign a contract when you get the new iPhone.
