HT201272 iPhone 5 - I've downloaded and backed up ringtones etc to my pc but they've disappeared from my phone. When I connect my phone to pc they show in the tones but they don't show as previously downloaded when I go to iTunes in my phone. How can I ge
I've read the 'How to re-download' article but it doesn't address my problem. They just aren't showing either as purchased or downloaded on my iPhone...but if I connect my iPhone to my PC and select Tones from the dropdown list, they are all there. How can I get them to show on my phone or why don't they show...??
I tried to re-download one of them and I got a message saying..."you've purchased this before, do you want to purchase again?"
does anyone have an answers...??
When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

I ran out of space on my icloud so my phone could no longer back up. I have now deleted lots from my phone, how can I get icloud to recognize this so it will complete a back up.
A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.

That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera. -
TA38616 Safari has disappeared from my phone - how do I get it back?
Safari has disappeared from our iPhone. It's nowhere to be found with apps, and isn't listed in settings anymore. FaceTime is also gone. No idea how they disappeared. How do I get them back? Do I need to do a full reset?
Make sure to mark the thread as solved so others can refer to it for help. Let me know if you need anything else!
Edit: I'd put a password on your phone to prevent changes like this. You can have one that is required to unlock it, but if you have others (kids, family) use the phone and don't want that, you can still put a password just to prevent changes to certain settings. Might help in the future. -
Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos. Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you
Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

I have a iPhone 4, my contacts disappeared from my phone, how do I get my contacts back?
I have a iPhone 4,, lost all my contacts ,, how do I get my contacts back?
You'll need some kind of device/software to go between the two devices - iTunes or iCloud would be the easiest.

My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!
So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

I have an iPhone 4s. Today I went on to my calendar app to find everything deleted from it. Then I went to make a phone call and every single one of my contacts has gone from my phone. Can I get them back and how?
Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011 IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -
How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?
How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.
Try following - 1 by 1:-
* make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
* turn off mobile and turned it back on
* hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
* resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
* resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
* restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
Cheers! -
I had previously downloaded Words with Friends (app was .99 cents). It has suddenly disappeared from my phone. Went back to the App Store to download it again, but it says it is installed. I can't find it? Any sugestions?
Scroll all the way to the left and type it in the search box, see if it pops up!
