I have an iphone 4 running iOS 4.3.2 how do I upgrade to the current iOS without losing any of my data?
I guess this all goes back to me wanting to sync my photos from my phone to my computer. In iTunes I don't have the option to sync from my phone to the computer. I just have the ability to sync from Computer to the Phone.
Thanks in advance
You were probably thinking of syncing photos from your computer to your iphone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Usually when you sync your phone to itunes it creates a backup for you. But I like to do one manually just to be on the safe side.
Once you done the backup, then go ahead and update your phone. After the update is done your phone should be exactly the same. No data or info should be lost. - If it is lost you can restore to the backup you just created.
To do that on your phone you would go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - wiping your phone clean, then you'll have the option to restore from backup.

I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1.4 and I don't want to update to IOS 7 because I don't like it. Can I download the security fix 6.1.6 or am I now going to have to go with 7.0.6 for this phone?
This was my question exactly. Thanks for getting to the answer even though it's not what I wanted to hear. When I tried calling Apple earlier today to get an answer, I was unceremoniously disconnected twice while on hold for several minutes.

Hi, I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.4 and the phone keeps going of whenver battery level drops to 20% and it give the warning. It turns off immediately after I dismiss the warning message. I LOCKED THE PHONE AT 21% and I was able to play music to 4% which means there is no problem with the battery, this seems to be a programming error.
Earlier suggestion include that the battery has a dead cell but it wouldnt keep playing music for over 2 hours it it had a dead cell.My issue with IOS 7.1 and higher is my Bluetooth for the phone still works...no problem but the music does not work with bluetooth...I have an Acura TSX 2010...Acura said there are no incidents reported, but me...I just upgraded to IPhone 6 and still no good....as soon as i hit the AUX button it say USB...not bluetooth...ugh

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1 and my received mail dissapears shortly after receiving.
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1 and my received mail dissapears shortly after receiving.
It is a POP account which is also on my iPad and my iMAC. All my accounts are set to me manually deleting email. The iMAC deletes off server while the others do not. This did not happen on my 3gs phone running iOS 5.0.1. It was set to SMTP and MAIL. When I set up the accounts on my 4s it automatically set the to mobile.
example
old system (3gs)
mail.example.net
smtp.example.net
new system (4s)
Both mobile.example.net
Thats the only visual difference I see. -

The iPhone 3G can only update as far as iOS 4.2.1
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I have been getting a message saying my iPhone cannot be synced because an unknown error occurred (-50). I have an iPhone 4, and never had this message until after I upgraded to the new OS. Does this have something to do with icloud?
I have the same error on both iPad & iPhone when connection is made but seems to sync when I manually sync.

My messaging app is frozen and I can't text after I tried to spam my friend with a 15,000 character text. I hard closed the app and restarted my phone but still nothing. Please help.
I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.

I cannot delete emails I have a iphone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1
I cannot delete emails, I have an iphone 3GS runningIOS 6.0.1. I tap edit and the red circle appears, but no delete rectangle or dustbin appears
AT&T does not issue unlock codes for iPhones. I had to think a minute, because I never had a 3GS myself, and thought it might have been different for them, but my daughter had one, and the unlock process is the same as for the 4. After AT&T approves the unlock (which means the contract has been fulfilled), they notify Apple. AT&T then sends the phone's owner an email detailing the process to unlock the phone, which consists of backing up the data, then restoring the phone as new in iTunes (which is where the unlock comes in), then restoring the data backup and then syncing. I went through this to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4. SO, I'm not sure what the unlock code business is about, except that it doesn't sound legit.

My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?
Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it. The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive. I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes. I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern. It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store. I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

My wifi and Bluetooth is on, in control panel I have "Everyone" on, I cannot see other iOS devices that are using iPhone 5 or 5S. My phone is only a couple of weeks old and was purchased brand new and I am on AT&T. I can not see other devices and other devices can not see me. I checked the manuel and I don't see any other settings other then what I described above in regards to control panel. Anyone have a solution for me? Oh by the way I have rebooted my phone, did a hard reset 3 different times but still not working. I do have an active iClould account.
I read a previous blog from a Mac user who was having an AirDrop issue. He resolved it by deleting his icloud account and reinstalling it. I figured what will it hurt to try this with my iPhone 5S. Well I am happy to say it worked. I recall recently changing my Apple ID password. This must have affected the Airdrop feature. When I reloaded my IClould account it started working. I don't know why but it's something you can try if all else fails. Hope this helps someone.

I have an Iphone 4s running ios 7.0.4 and my wifi doesnt work!
After updating to ios 7.0.4 a couple of months ago, my wifi doesnt work.
First it wouldnt find any network or even if it did it connected for at most 3 minutes!
I decided to reset network settings and after that the wifi button just greyed out
I looked it up and saw a freezer fix so i tried it
It fixed it for only half an hour. I also saw the blow dryer fix but i dont have a blow dryer.
Now after several network resets, the wifi button has returned to normal but the wifi still doesnt work!There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.
