You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    hi, i am using iphone 4. People are complaining that they can't hear my voice while talking to them? Pls help

    My son had the same problem with his 4 after updateing to 5.1.1. Apple would not replace it and he ended up getting a re-furb for £119.00.
    He was 100% sure it was the upgrade that caused it but apple said it was the motherboard.

  • Recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    I keep getting the same recovered files in the trash.  How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

    The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
    You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.

  • How do you unlock an iphone 4 on Orange/EE UK? they said they have unlocked it but what do I do from there?

    Here are the instructions they gave me:
    1)Insert a non-Orange 3G SIM card.  This must be a network provider who also supplies the iphone/ipad.
    2)Switch ON the handset.
    3)Connect to iTunes using USB cable
    4)Use the “restore” option within iTunes (located at the bottom of iTunes not the top)
    5)The handset may then display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
    6)Disconnect from USB then re-connect
    7)Synchronise device with iTunes
    8)Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating “Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked” If using IOS5 this message will not show
    9)Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings
    To me they seem a little convoluted so I wanted some help/feedback before I start to do it.

    What seems convoluted?
    Follow the directions.

  • Can I give my iPhone 6 to my daughter so that she can put her vodafone sim in it? Our contracts are both with Vodafone.

    i have recently upgraded to iPhone 6 but want to give this to my daughter now. She currently has a 5C on contract with Vodafone same as I do. Can we just swap the SIM cards ?

    Yes. They both use a nano-SIM. You will want to restore them to their out of box state before doing so.

  • Can you buy mobile wifi unit for the iPad 2 if if was not purchased with 3G

    I was given an ipad2 for my birthday but it does not have 3G, is it possible to buy a mobile wifi unit from AT&T so that I can use my iPad when there isn't public wifi?

    I presume you are asking about "MiFi", which are units that allow a WiFi-equpped device to connect to a cell carrier's data network. AT&T does have such a device:
    http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/devices/att-mobile-hotspot-mifi-2372. jsp
    Verizon offers a similar device, as may other cell carriers.
    Alternatively, if the iPad was just purchased in the last 14 days (assuming the Apple Store; dealers may have different policies) and you can get the receipt, you could perhaps return the unit for credit against a 3G iPad.
    Regards.

  • IPhone 5 service issues in home that I did not have with iPhone 3,3GS, or 4

    Both my wife and I have the iPhone 5. I have att between 3 and 4 bars with the LTE showing. It constantly gives me a call failure and I receive texts sometimes hours latter. I did not have this issue with my previous iPhones.  My daughters are still using the iPhone 4 and they do not have this issue. Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue?

    I can answer a few of these. I don't know about the pause. The battery doesn't surprise me. The new apple devices are infamous for having battery life issues. I don't think there is anything apple can do but if you take it in, you can choose to keep or give up your engraving. Keeping it will extend the repair time by a week or two.

  • How do I stop firefox from opening a seperate window whenever I click on a link to log into a different website with my social network account?

    Whenever I try to log into a website (i.e. King of the Web.com,etc.) with my facebook account, a new window will appear behind my current window and when I click on it, it never shows up even when I minimize the current website, how do I get the new window to show so I can log in and vote for Tre Melvin? (P.S. vote for Tre!)

    I think Facebook uses its facebook.net domain for this function. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    Right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the search box at the top of that dialog, change the domain to facebook.net and remove the site's cookies.
    Then try using the login with FB feature again. Does it work?

  • Item cannot be downloaded because it was not purchased with your ID

    I have been getting this error message since last week when trying to re-download purchased songs listed under "not on this phone".
    While I understand the concept of beta versions, should this not be one feature that works well?
    When will I be able to download my purchases without issue?
    When will this be resolved?

    Hi jonathanm91,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you cannot download previously purchased content. I would suggest making sure you are using the same Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the content. If you are using the same account and still cannot download the previously purchased content, it may be necessary to contact iTunes Store support.
    Download past purchases

    You may find the answer to your question below:
    If your download was interrupted, learn how to resume the download.
    See what to do if you have trouble using an app.
    Make sure your computer is authorized using the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
    Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, or PC is associated with your Apple ID.
    Make sure you’re in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available.
    If you’re having trouble downloading an item, make sure you can download the item again from iTunes in the Cloud. You may want to sync the content to another device instead.
    If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
    If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
    After you download your purchases, back up your iTunes library. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they've been refunded or aren't on the iTunes Store.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((

    It was never free for the 3GS.
    It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
    After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
    Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone.

  • On an IMAC, how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi settings?

    On an IMAC,
    how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi network?

    Can you clarify what you mean?
    If you're seeing multiple wifi networks as well as yours, that's normal. It will display any networks within range. It doesn't mean you're connected to them or that they're on your network.
