To replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G, follow these steps:

1. Purchase iPhone 3G from an Apple Store or from a carrier. For more info, choose your country then click on where to buy.

In the US, iPhone 3G includes a SIM and your original iPhone’s SIM is not needed. Your original iPhone account information will be transferred to iPhone 3G’s included SIM when you purchase iPhone 3G. To dispose of your original iPhone SIM, contact your carrier.

In other countries where the original iPhone was sold1, you can use your original iPhone’s SIM with iPhone 3G. Contact your carrier for additional information.

2. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iPhone OS. Click to download the latest version of iTunes.
Note that when you start using iPhone 3G, you will need iTunes 7.7 or later.

3. Connect your original iPhone to iTunes and sync it. Verify that your original iPhone is backed up. For more information on how to do this, see iPhone: About backups.

4. Connect iPhone 3G to iTunes (on the same computer you used to back up your original iPhone), and then iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup or set up iPhone 3G as a new phone. When prompted, select the backup of your original iPhone2.

5. After iTunes finishes restoring the backup you selected to iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G will restart. When iPhone 3G appears again in the iTunes window, select it. Then click the tabs (Music, Photos, and so on) and verify or change the items you want to sync. Then click Apply to sync iPhone 3G with iTunes.

6. Verify that your saved SMS messages, email accounts and passwords, photos, notes, and other personal settings are present on your iPhone 3G. Note that you will be required to enter email account passwords again.

If saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, or other personal settings are not present on your new iPhone 3G, the restore from backup may not have been successful. In that case, verify your original iPhone is properly backed up (see step 3), then use iTunes to restore iPhone OS on iPhone 3G and continue following these instructions at step 4.

To erase your original iPhone so someone else can use it, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings on your original iPhone.

1Requires an original iPhone used with O2 UK, O2 IRL, T-Mobile Germany, T-Mobile Austria, or Orange France. Original iPhone was not sold in other countries, except for the US.
2 If iTunes does not prompt you to select a backup to restore when you connect iPhone 3G, use iTunes to restore iPhone OS on your iPhone 3G and try this step again.

Additional Information

How To Copy Movies to Your Iphone

As of today it is very unlikely to get movies directly downloaded to your iPhone or even have them copy to the iPhone straight from DVD, now the number one thing to do is to transfer them to your computer. Regular DVDs are not always in the right format so we need to first convert them to Mp4 before they can be tranfered. The best way to do this is to save the DVD on your harddrive in mp4 format. To make transfer from DVD to iPhone, you must have a computer, a data cable or a connecting lead between that computer and your iPhone, you will be needing a “ripping software”to rip the DVD and save them to your hard drive. Most of the Ripping software also convert files to mp4 at the same time will save the files. Once the files are on the computer and in the right format, then you are ready to copy them to the iPhone. After that, all you need now is to scan the files to iTunes, then they will be automatically transferred when your next sync with iTunes take place. In all this, we take into account that you already own the movies you want to transfer on the DVD, however, if that is not the case, there are other options. At this time and age on the Internet, if you know where to look you should be able to locate some  download sites that will let you have access to files for a one off price,  as well as movies, and you can also access games and music for your iPhone. Such sites offer an incredible value for your money. And don’t confuse it with Peer to peer sites or torrent sites.
Sites like this have a lot of viruses and are illegal. And in case you ever use one of these sites you need to run your antivirus and make sure it’s updated to run a full check on your PC.

Did you just purchase a new iPhone and you are having a tough time setting up your voicemail? You could spend hours on the phone with technical support and at the end of the day still have no solution to it. On this page you will find the help you need in setting up your voicemail. The number one thing to do is make sure you do not put your simcard from your old phone into the iPhone, you might have everything working if you do but your voicemail and visual mail will probably not work. If you go into your local at&t store you can get yourself a new sim card and get help from them to help you transfer everything on your old sim card to the new one. Now you can go to the next step, call customer support at At&t and tell the representative that you want to set up your voicemail. Make sure you tell him or her to confirm that your call forwarding to your voicemail is set correctly and turned on. Once it’s done, you are now ready to set the voicemail. Before starting, have the password you want to you handy. Always make sure you know what message you want to record or write it down, this will save time and make the process  easier. Password should be between 6 to 15 characters. Be sure it is something you can easily remember. Tap the icon for your voicemail, then at this point you will be asked to create a password. Put in the password you created and after you will be prompted to record your greeting. You would also have the option of using the default voicemail greeting that comes with the iPhone that will include your number. This greeting can be changed whenever you feel like. Make sure you save the greeting once its done, and thats about it, your voicemail is now setup and ready to use.

SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR IPHONE BATTERY LAST LONGER

Almost all mobile phones uses a litium-ion battery. The Apple iPhone uses the same standard and frequently rechargeable litium ion dry battery. In the ipod by Apple, the batteries are not replaceable or removable. So, it is important that a good care be taken to make sure that the battery is in good condition and well preserved. Replacing the iPhone battery can be very expensive, it would cost anywhere from $80-$200 to get it replaced. Taking a great care of the battery is needed to prolong the life span of the battery. There are some basic guidelines which can help us keep our battery secure. Rule number one is to keep the battery away from moisture. Do not lend to different people or drop it. Do not overcharge the battery. If you notice any sign of malfunction, consult an expert as soon as possible. These  batteries are very fragile and sensitive. Taking these precautions will ensure longevity of your battery. A lithim ion battery can be used for years if good care is taken. Exposing your battery to exptreme heat temperature is not a good idea and must be avoided at all cost. Check the iPhone booklet and you should be able to get more instructions on how to well preserve your battery. Also avoid  continuous exposure to sunlight, this can destroy your battery in a matter of hours. Also leaving your iPhone in the car where it is exposed to direct sunlight should be avoided. Do not always charge your battery in the car, these charges are not accurate and charges the battery quickly, and this will have a negative effect on your battery. Using the original charger that comes with your original equipment is advised.

iPhone Tips #4

Uploading photos to the Web:

Although we do not have a photo uploading tool from a 3rd party on the iPhone like we do on the Mac, many web 2.0 photo sharing services provides other methods of uploads.One of the most popular sites for this is Flickr.com. Flickr grants its users a special e-mail that will receive and post your image. Log into Flickr and go here to  search for your special e-mail address.Here is a cheat sheet to provide  more detail to your uploaded image

subject line = title

body = description

tags = in the email’s body or subject put “tags:” followed by the tags as you would normally add them to a flickr photo.

limiting who can see your photos = in the prefix (just before the “@”) of your special flickr email, add “+friends” for friends only, add “+family” for family only, “+ff” for friends and family, and lastly, “+private” to make the images only visible to you.

Of course, this isn’t specific to iPhone, so this method can be used to post your flickr photos and should work ok.

IM on iPhone:

iPhone so far is email and SMS texting only; no native iChat client yet. However, there may be a few ways to get around that limitation.

IM over SMS: Ichat on the mac gives you the potential to send SMS messages and to have a 2-way communication in that manner, using the phone number of the person you’d like to message with, launch iChat  on your mac, in the file menu, select “new chat with person..” There will be a chat window you are going to receive with a drop down box with Aim preselected, there will be an area that will allow you to add a person’s address. Here you will also be able to add a perons’s phone number,  always make sure that you use the prefix “+1″ before you enter the number. For example, if the person’s number is (347) 443-6535, then you’d put in a +1 before entering the number in the txt field.

After you do that and send your first message, AIM will notify you that the message has been sent through their SMS gateway, but shortly thereafter, the mobile user (or hopefully iPhone user) will be able to reply to you directly.

I’m still testing this on my own Nokia cell phone, but I believe you can initiate a message from the mobile as well. To do this, create a text message and in the address put “265060” and in the body of your message, type out the username with a colon and then the rest of your message. So, if the name of the user you want to send to is “iloveiphone24”, then start out the body of the message with “iloveiphone24:”, without the quotes.

Remember, if you’re an iPhone subscriber, the default plan “only” gives you 200 messages a month, so you might consider using this sparingly.

IM over the Web: There may yet be some web-based alternatives for IM. The issue really comes down to how the web-app is enabled. For the iPhone, it has to be basic, unfortunately, and that means no Flash or Java (javascript is okay). For the moment, that knocks out “ebuddy” (though they say Safari support is coming soon—hopefully that means the iPhone too).

Since I don’t have an iPhone in hand, I’ve tried to setup the next best thing—my Mac with Safari Beta 3, with all plugins and Java disabled (javascript still enabled). Here were the two IM over the Web services I tried:

“Meebo functioned just fine, and appears only to need java-script enabled. This fantastic web-app gives you access to AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, and MSN Live Messenger. It’s all text based, no voice or anything super advanced. Granted, formatted for a MacBook’s resolution, I had no problems. We’ll see how things look on the iPhone, but some comments on the Meebo Blog suggest that those lucky few with an iPhone already are have used the service and it works fine.

AIM Express from AOL worked fine on my Mac but didn’t function with javascript turned off, so hopefully that’s a good sign for future iPhone users that it will function just fine. Again, very basic access to AIM, but if you need it in a pinch, it’s likely AIM Express will do the job on the iPhone.

iPhone Tips #3

Pawn it off

Don’t want your contract anymore? Find someone who does. Websites like celltradeusa.com specialize in connecting thousands of people together for the express purpose of transferring the financial responsibilities of cell contracts from one person to another. As long as the recipient meets the minimum qualifications (credit check, etc.) you can transfer the plan over without getting hit with the early termination fee.

Get out while you still can

If you just signed up for service, you typically have 14 days to drop it — 30 days with some carriers. A simple call to customer service cancels your plan. All you may have to do is pay a prorated amount for the service you’ve already used.

Move to the boonies

It’s pretty simple to register a change of address with most carriers. Change your address to an area your cell carrier doesn’t have service, then call and complain about not getting reception. Contractually, if a service provider can’t offer access in a given area, the contract is null and void.

Military service

If you’re already in the armed forces, deployment overseas usually means you’re free and clear to end your contract early — without any financial obligation.

Read the fine print

The wee print in your bill’s Terms of Service? Read it closely. Providers frequently make small changes to you plan — an increase in the number of text messages here, a few more night and weekend minutes there. It doesn’t matter if these alterations benefit you — they automatically void the contract and give you as much as 30 days to get out.

Demand to see the paperwork

Did you sign a contract in the store? Ask the carrier to come up with a hard copy of this legally binding document. If the provider can’t come up with a physical copy, then you’re free to go. Paper gets lost, you might have forgotten to sign and sales reps are often too busy or lazy to file the paperwork.

Abuse the system

Cell-phone service providers usually have roaming agreements with other carriers where they don’t offer reception. Roaming areas can often be close, sometimes the next county over. Chances are you have a friend with a house in one of these roaming areas. Check a service map to find out. Then take your phone over on Friday night and as soon your Unlimited Nights and Weekends start, call POPCORN, and leave the phone on. Roaming is usually free to the customer but costs the carrier dough. They’ll practically beg you to leave when you call to cancel the contract.
