When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

That does do that. However it is a temporary backup and not the most reliable. Make sure you also go into file > Transfer purchases from _______ to make sure you save your music and apps. though the article that wjosten posted is correct for the backup as well. But article HT1414 is better for info on backing up.

  • Hello when i upgrade from 4 to 4S will my existing text messages migrate over?

    HI when i upgrade from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S will my existing text messages migrate.....

    If you back up your iphone 4, and when you get the iphone 4S, you would have to restore from back up and you will have all your existing text messages. If you set your iphone 4S as a "New Phone" then it will start from fresh and no existing text message will be in there

  • When I upgraded from v4 to v5 my bookmarks was lost. I do have the one that is in the firefox toolbar. Apparently I had a bookmarks add-on. V5 changed my browser how can I determine what the program was and if the bookmarks are still there?

  • If I restore my iPhone from last night's iCloud back up will I lose any new messages or info saved since the back up was done?

    I just updated to iOS 7.0.4 and I had to delete most of my photos to have enough space to perform the update. I did an iCloud back up last night that has all deleted photos. If I restore the most recent back up will I lose any new messages that I have sent or received since the back up was done last night?

    Yes. Restoring to a backup takes the phone back to the date and time of the backup and anything done since that time is lost, with the exception of your update to iOS.

  • Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but it is using the phone number fine.

    Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but the iPhone messaging is using the phone number fine. It's only the iPad messaging that is messed up. Help, pls.
    thanks!

    You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

    The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

  • What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

    What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
    Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
    (Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
    My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
    Thanks

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    No. You can delete your iCloud account from your iPhone 4  and the information will remain in iCloud either through syncing or through a backup.or through both features.  Just make sure you have a recent backup.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

    when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

    here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
    here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

  • Upgrading from IPhone 3 to IPhone 4

    I am trying to upgrade from IPhone 3 to IPhone 4, by restoring from iTunes.  I've followed the steps on Apple site (check for upgrades, back-up old phone, go through steps on new iphone, select restore from back-up, choose back up to restore from).  It went through everything and then for no apparent message came up with an error message saying restore from back up had not completed.  Now when I try to start the process again, iTunes launches straight into backing up and syncing my NEW phone, even though the who process hasn't yet completed.  Am in a complete loop - it won't let me start the process again from scratch or allow me to restore again.  Help!

    Thanks to everybody for the quick advice. I did manage to get iTunes to show the 4.1 update by selecting "Check for Updates" from the iTunes menu (it would be under the "Help" menu on Windows I believe), and I am in the process of downloading the update right now (download only). As per the advice offered by everybody else who replied to my post, I will be waiting for a while before actually running the update to see how this update fairs on other folks' 2nd generation iPod Touches. I'm happy enough with iPhone OS 3.1.3 for now. I'd really like to have iBooks and a few other apps that require iOS 4 as well as the unified inbox and home-screen folders, but I'm content enough to hold off a while longer just to ensure maximum stability.
    Thanks again everybody!
