My mom just got the new iPhone and is passing her old one (a 3GS) to me. She doesn't really know what to do though, and Google isn't helping us at all. She wants to get all her stuff from her old iPhone to her new one. I'm no expert at this, and lol she obviously hasn't got a clue either. Help?

If it ain't broke, break it until it's fixed.

It transfers your apps and all the songs you have bought through iTunes. Also, you can create a backup and set up her new iPhone with the backed-up files.
Basically what Jarred said, but the condition for this is that you have to use the same computer for this that you used for syncing the 3GS. What the above method does is it copies a list of all of the files and apps on the phone (and personalized stuff like save files or preferences) to the computer, NOT the actual apps and files.

TL;DR Do this on the computer you usually use for iTunes, not a new computer.
