So my wife and I had the original iPhone's for over 4 years. We finally upgraded them to the iPhone 4S. Loving the new phones!
We decided to give our two kids the original iPhone's to use as an iPod touch. They are 2 and 4 and it's a great distraction when we are at dinner waiting for the food to be served. There are also some great apps, books, and movies we loaded onto the phones.
So here's where my problem is......
The first one took forever to delete everything off I didn't want on there but I finally got it done. Since it took so long I decided to restore the phone to the original settings and start from scratch. I guess I should have read up first before I did that as it seems I can't get past the main screen. Obviously the SIM is not active anymore and when I plug it into iTunes I get nothing other than a single screen that says iPhone. I have no option to restore from a backup, etc. The other problem is the sim in the new phones is too small for the original iphone so I can't get into itunes to do a restore from backup.
The other iPhone works just great (the 1st one I did).....has wifi, can download apps, etc..
So, what are my options at this point to get it set back up?
Thanks so much for any help in advance!
Cheers.
