[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1629930, member: 234411"] Not sure which iOS version was on your old iPhone but if a recent one, did you have 'Find my iPhone' activated on the phone and in iCloud? If so, you need to make sure that feature is no longer in effect, otherwise, your father will not be able to setup the phone as a 'new' iDevice under his name and Apple account, which will be needed - check [URL="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351"]HERE[/URL] for a more thorough explanation and use the links if needed. Your backup is on your computer, when you obtain the iPhone 6, simply cable into iTunes and do a restoration. I just replaced my iPad 2 w/ an Air 2 - my steps included: 1) Deleted the 'Find my iPad' from the device and checked in iCloud; 2) Did a backup cabled on iTunes; 3) Erased the iPad 2 from the device (i.e. erase all settings & contents); 4) Restored the backup to my new iPad Air 2; and 5) Just sold the old iPad 2 online w/o no problems from the new owner in setting the device up.
