limpid Posted March 24, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 24, 2011 I suspect that in your "easy to use" iphone that you need to tell the contacts app that you have contacts on the SIM rather than the phone. You'd think it would notice the new SIM and offer to copy them automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Clicked on the contact app, but that still shows only my name and number. I'm going to give up now and wait till my mate comes round tomorrow, otherwise I'm going to throw it out the window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Anyone love Apple so much they have a 45w or 65w old apple laptop charger lying around redundant? The round ended ones, not magnetic. I have just bought another on ebay, my fourth since March 8th....sigh, I am sure one seller will actually bother to send it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted March 25, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2011 Cheers guys. Next question, I've gone through registering it with itunes etc, and went through the copying my contacts from my old phone, but for some reason I don't have any contacts other than my name and number in the phone. I've taken out the iphone sim, gone through the procedure again moving the contact numbers from my old phone to new sim, still have no contacts?? Any ideas why? It's not clear what steps you are doing - did you do this: Simply go to “Settings” -> “Mail, Contacts, Calendar”, you can find an option called “Import SIM Contacts”. Then tap on it and iPhone will import all SIM contacts to your contacts list. Which pulls them from a sim in the iphone. or you could do it like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I wasn't able to work that out for myself, I am a complete pleb when it comes to anything mobile, PC or electronic etc... :oops: Where were you last night when I needed you!

The_Rev Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Can you sync your contacts to Gmail with an iPhone? It's an awesome way of backing everything up and not having to worry about it again. I got a new phone last week (Android, but I dont think this is an Android exclusive feature) and as I had signed into Gmail with my old phone, as soon as I did it on my new one it asked me if I wanted to import my contacts and as they say, Robert is your fathers brother. *edit* Yes you can: http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi guys, I have two problems with my jailbroken iphone. Firstly, when connecting to the computer the iphone does not show up on iTunes. Secondly, I am not sure how to back up my music on my iPhone? I need to transfer my music to my PC but not sure if the Jailbroken iPhone will be recognised by any software.

Gingerlad Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 My itunes picks it up as normal and I just select which play lists I want to snyc as I did before the jail break. Not sure why itunes doesnt pick yours up, which JB did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 So has anyone got their hands on an ipad 2 yet? For £399.99 im quite tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Now is a good time to buy a refurbished iPad 1 from Apple by the way. You can get a 16gb WiFi for £289, and that comes with a year of Apple care. You might even be able to sell it for a profit on eBay if you are lucky. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
