Where is the "old phone" sound?
I had my iPhone 5S replaced tonight and did not do a restore. I am looking for the ringtone called "Old Phone?" How can i get it?
Strange. On my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 it is exactly where i said it was. Sounds/Ringtones/Classic. There's a long list there of 25 different sounds, and one of them is "Old Phone"

My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s. We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch. Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
Apple ID/ICoud:
We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc... Each kid has their own email account. So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account? Is this correct?
Reset/Restore/DFU:
To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets. I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc... Not sure the difference. However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew. However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
Hello Screen
Asks me to select language and selecting: English
Select Your Country or Region: United States
Choose a Wi-Fi Network: select my home wi-fi network
Enter password: entered my home wi-fi network password
Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
Location Services - I have enabled location services
Set Up iPhone
Set Up as New iPhone
Apple ID
Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
Or I could "skip this step"
I signed in with my Apple ID
Terms and Conditions - Agree
iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
my email
my other child's cell phone number
and my husband's work phone number
This is where things do not make sense. I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address. Where did I go wrong?There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

It sounds like you restored the backup of your old phone to your new phone.
Unless you backed up the new phone first or manually copied the pictures off prior to restoring the backup, the pictures are gone. -
I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data . -
Every time I started to at least restore the little data left on the very last update I made in the old phone at Itune It continualy kept trying to restore and at the end a message will appear saying that an error had occurred and restore was unable to complete. Please I need help on this. I got over 2,000 songs in the old phone and I don't want to loose them. Thanks!
Hello DebbieRNPR,
I'd suggest looking over the following articles, as they should be of some use in your endeavor to back up your old iPhone, then restore its content to the new iPhone.

What happens to the old phone at the time one gets (upgrades) to the 3G?
So, I understand that the old phone stops working when you upgrade to the 3G, as they will transfer your number to it's SIM.
I am wondering how instantaneous it is, and what actually happens, i.e. is displayed on the old phone.
I am thinking of upgrading my wife's phone while she is on a plane returning - the account is in my name - so I won't have the physical phone with me. When she turns the old one on does it display a sim error, or say 'deactivated', or 'emergency only', or...... ???
Thanks!
DanNothing will happen to phone physically, it will just show "no service" in the upper left of phone. She won't be able to make calls, as they activate the phone at time of purchase. Otherwise, it will work normally.

Do I restore the old phone? What should I do?
it now says the old phone is in restoration mode and to restore iPhone.
Hmmm...
That's a doozy. I'll have to think on that for a bit.
Quite perplexing indeed. A quandary you could say.
Not really sure what you could try...
Have you tried anything yet? -
I resently cracked the screen on my iPhone 4 and had to get a new one... When i backed the old phone up it didn't save my old apps and now I no longer have that phone... How can I recover a list of all my apps?
Backup does not include apps,music,vids,etc
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You can loo up your purchases in your purchase history ( in your account in itunes) and unlike music, you can redownload apps.

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.
