What to do with my old iphone when I upgrade?

I am planning on upgrading my iphone to the uphone 4. Can I still use the non- phone functions on my old iphone?

FYI: If you're in the U.S. and you go to Radio Shack to do the upgrade, they take trade ins. A working 3Gs in good condition can net you up to $200 in trade, completely paying for the iPhone 4 on contract. A working 3G in good condition got me $125, meaning my iPhone 4 upgrade was only $75.
Might want to consider it unless you intend to give your old phone to a friend or sell it yourself.

What to do with the old iPhone?

My wife is getting the new phone next week and I had planned on keeping my 3G. Since both phone numbers are eligible for an upgrade I'm thinking of getting one too but not sure what to do with the old one. I guess it could be used as a WiFi-only gadget like an iTouch. Is there any market for these used phones? It looks like some are sold on eBay for $100-$200.

If you do a quick Google search, you will find a ton of web sites willing to assist you in selling your phone. Some people choose to get cash for their iPhone via this site: http://bit.ly/bkcHPV

What to do with Palm Desktop data when I upgrade to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard

I have an old Tungsten handheld device but only use Palm Desktop on my Mac. I have a lot of data stored in this format and do not want to lose this functionality when I upgrade to Snow Leopard, which, I understand, does not support Palm Desktop. Ideally, I'd like to export my Palm Desktop data (address book, memos, to do list, and calendar) to another software package that will run on Snow Leopard. I do not need any syncing capability. What are my options?
Thanks!

What to Do with Old iPhone When a New One Comes Out

What do you do with your old iPhone when a new one comes out? Is there some trade-in thing or something? Do I just pay full price for the new iPhone? Does AT&T have a trade-in policy or something?

No trade-in. I just sell mine [on ebay] a few weeks before the newer version comes out, or right after. they go for quite a bit if they are in nice condition.

What do I do with my old CS4 when downloading the new versions from the cloud?
Do I just uninstall via the control panel on my computer?

if you no longer need cs4, deactivate it (help>deactivate) and uninstall it.
otherwise, leave it installed along with cc. you can use both if you need.

My computer (windows) is not recognising my new iPhone when plugged in. It was fine with my old iPhone 3. Any suggestions?

My girlfriend had this same issue. It ended up being her cable.
It was very weird and confussing as the first cable would allow the phone to show up on my laptop but not my girlfriends. So we thought the cable was fine.
Further the first cable would allow the iPhone to sync with itunes on her laptop but not show up in her "My Computer."
By chance we tried a different cable and it worked fine on her laptop and instantly showed up in her "My Computer."
All very weird but try a couple different cables and see if that fixes the problem first before resorting to other time consuming steps.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back?

I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back? When I go to the iTunes store and look at the songs I hade before, it says I already purchased them, but when I go back to my library, they are all gone. I thought it was just removing the songs from my phone, but now I have no music on my phone or PC. Please help!

The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

I can't find the audiobook I bought with my old iPhone to put it on my new iphone

How can I put the audiobook I bought with my old iPhone on my new iPhone?

It sounds like Safari has somehow been installed in a user / Applications folder instead of the Macintosh HD / Applications folder where it should be.
Log in as the user that can open Safari, navigate to home / Applications and drag the Safari icon out of there to the Macintosh HD / Applications folder. Then drag it to the Dock and drop it when the other icons move aside for it.
You should now be able to access Safari from all accounts.

@ds store - what to do with an 'old' SSD?

OK, I asked for you specifically because you always point out that there's no reason to zero out a SSD... so here's my quandry.
I'm saving my pennies for the new Crucial M500 960GB SSD - plan to get it right when they ship. I'm already making my purchases for my clone upgrades, but I'm wondering what to do with my old Crucial m4 512GB SSD? I know that I can't securely erase it and I know that I'll likely have no use for it in the future (unless I stick it in a new Mac Pro - which I doubt that I will be able to afford, anyway).
So what do I do with it? Put it in my safety deposit box? Go after it with a sledgehammer? What?
Looking forward to your suggestions...

There are many valid reasons to zero fill a SSD to delete unwanted data.
You can't fill zero's on a SSD like you can do on a hard drive, Disk Utility won't allow it.
SSD's have limted write capability, thus that option is disabled by Apple, which I think they should have kept the option but with a warning and set limit of scrubs instead.

Put it into a external enclosure (Thunderbolt preferred for the speed if your going to keep it) and then format it and fill it full, reformat and fill it 50%, delete and fill it 50% again to hopefully overwrite the old data and defeat the wear leveling/TRIM.
No guarranty this will ensure complete data destruction, if your really concerned, melt the thing in a fire outside, grind it up in one of those Tom Dickson Extreme Blenders also outside because of the toxic fumes/dust.
Until the Department of Defense comes out with some guidelines to pernamently delete data off a SSD or Flash drive, I would destroy the thing if your seriously concerned.

I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite with my calendar? Please help!

Hi All,
I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite any contacts with my calendar?
is there something I have not done properly to do this or do I need to update calendar software or is this an App thing?
Please help!

Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups. If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it. Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from. When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

If you never backed up your phone to iTunes and never backed it up to iCloud all of your content is gone forever.

Can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably?

can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably using a microsim adapter? PLEASE CONFIRM IF YOU KNOW THANKS

There is no such thing as an iPhone 4G. The model is iPhone 4 as in 4th generation in the line of iPhones. As for using a SIM adapter or cutting a SIM card to fit in one of Apple's iPhones it would void the warranty with Apple. Apple doesn't support SIM card adapters and especially don't warranty users cutting SIM cards to fit a MicroSIM card slot.
