hi all...

i hav this little Qs..

my situation: Im planning to get my self a new 3gs, so Im letteng go my 3g..

My Q: 1) How do i transfer all the data from my old 3g to my new 3gs?
       
          2) And can I still cont to use my old iTunes acc, or do i need to create new one for use with the 3gs?

          3) How do i reset my old 3gs to factory setting - so that none of my data remain..i.e do i need to perform DFU mode??

Thanks..
*
1) do a backup with itunes on ur old iphone. restore the new iphone with itunes using the latest backup
2) u still can cont to use ur itunes acc.
3) restore ur phone using itunes. when itunes ask to either restore from backup or set as new, u can eject the phone. if u still feel a little paranoid, goto settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings.

hope this helps.

Hi, I've just upgraded my iphone from 2.2 to 3.0.1.

Everything is going smooth besides the contacts o_O

I did the manual backup, but after coping AddressBook.sqlitedb manually to my iphone, my contacts doesn't show up blink.gif What happened?
