I lost the original USB cord that came with my phone. I don't have enough available space on my phone to update wirelessly either and no matter how much I delete I still can't seem to free up enough space to update. I don't know what to do? My phone won't connect to any iTunes.
You have two options at this point.
Option 1
1) Buy another cord and attach to itunes (applestore will have them or you can order them online).
2) Find another cord to use.
Option 2
1) Connect your device to a wifi connection and plug device into a power source.
2) Backup your device in icloud using: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
3) Erase all content and settings.
4) Setup as a new iphone (and do not restore from backup).
5) Your phone should now be completely blank.
6) software update over wifi.
7) Setup your phone and restore from icloud backup.
8) Gratz your running the latest version. -

This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
I would not do this, the variance is acceptable around plus/minus 5%, in this case up to 13%.

I am trying to copy and paste a 734mb film on to an 8GB usb but it keeps saying "It cannot copy as there isn't enough space". How is this possible? And how do I put the film on the usb?
Look at the USB stick in Disk Utility and check whether it may be partitioned or have other software on it taking up space.

I was trying to help my aunt set up her phone to itunes on my computer but when it asked me whether I wanted to set it as new device or use the backup from previous iphone data, I clicked restore from backup. I didn't realize that clicking that option would delete all of her information on the phone and relace it with mine. Her contacts, phones, notes, and all of her information are gone and replaced with mine just like my phone. Is there any way I can restore her phone because she really needs all those information orignally stored on her phone? She just got her phone not long ago and didn't backed up any of her information on her phone.
If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

How does capturing affect the camera?
I only ask because I know a lot of people use decks instead of their primary cameras. And I know its a major concern when buying used equipment to ask if its ever been used as a deck. Lastly, if it does negatively affect the camera; If I shoot something in a mode that my deck doesnt support (eg - 24p on a dvx or xl2 and then use an oldddd canon as a deck) will it capture correctly into the editor? Thanks.
IMO most cameras suffer from little use rather than too much. Regularly exercising your cam is a good thing.
If you are capturing all day every day then a purpose built deck would be the better option.
If I shoot something in a mode that my deck doesnt support (eg - 24p on a dvx or xl2 and then >use an oldddd canon as a deck) will it capture correctly into the editor?
I never tried what you ask but with other formats it's a simple transfer of 0s &1s, so I'd imagine it will work fine as long as tape fits.

I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable? It automatically gets disconnected and then get connected again.
That is shorter than normal. Any signs of wear? And you're sure it's the cable, not one of the pins in the iPhone's charging port?

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first... -
I will have the majority of strength with my phone just sitting there but as soon as I try to call or text it goes to "searching". No other phones have this issue- so it's not network related. Is there something I can do to my phone? Iphone 4,latest OS
