How to upgrade to your new iPhone 4

Grats on your new toy.

Secondly, here’s how you get the new toy working:

1.  Plug in and sync your current iPhone (not the new iPhone 4) with iTunes.  Make sure to “Check for Update” while you’re here to make sure you have latest iOS 4.

2.  Unplug your current iPhone and TURN IT OFF

3.  Plug in your new iPhone 4 with iTunes running on your computer

4.  Follow the directions till you get to a happy page that looks like this:

Just make sure “Restore from the backup of <your old iPhone> is selected and click Continue.

5.  AT&T will then do the whole activation party, follow the directions

6 (optional). If you have any email accounts on your iPhone you need to manually go into the mail settings (settings, Mail/contants/calendars) and enter in the password(s).

7 (optional).  Make sure iTunes is syncing the music/movies you want correctly.

Congrats!  Now you have your new iPhone 4 with all your contacts, text messages, email accounts, and photos.
