    hi, lost my iPhone but friend has loaned me his old one until my contract expires. Problem is neither of us knows how to get my data on to the phone while deleting his. Plugedmit into my laptop but when it got tomstep 3, downloading contacts it stayed on that for 2 hours so I stopped it. Can anyone direct me to a step by step guide for idiots? It has accepted my chip and is making calls etc for me and the fb app appears to have my email address but his old pics and contacts still on it. Many many thanks.

    If you have a backup of your phone (either on iTunes or iCloud) the easiest thing is to set it up as new. First you'll have to go to general->reset->erase all contents and settings. When that's done it will be like a new iPhone, so you just go through the step by step setup until it asks "setup as new" or "restore from backup" choose restore and connect to iTunes and select the backup file or use the iCloud one as applicable.
