IPhone 5 question

Please help - I'm caught in a vicious cycle.  My iPhone is disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes.  When I do that, iTunes says I need to allow this from the phone  Yet all the phone will do is let me dial 911.

  • I need someone to answer a  few Find my Iphone App questions?

    I lost my phone overseas...I got too drunk and lost it at some bar..I thought I was lucky because I had signed up for the find my iphone app on the ICloud. When I tried to locate my Iphone through the services, It couldn't find my Iphone because it was "OFFLINE" I assume it was because it was out of battery, making it impossible to find it now.
    So I requested that my phone be put it in "lost mode", but since it's currently offline, it's Pending! I also added a contact number and a 50$ reward for the return of my phone, so the next time my phone is turned on and connects to the internet, it will lock and the stranger using my phone won't be able to get in to it and steal my info right?...But, seeing as my time is almost up being overseas, it seems very unlikely I'll be getting my phone back. So I might have to get a new phone!
    My Question is, if I click on "Erase Iphone" now, it will erase all the data on my phone, And it won't be able to be tracked anymore, that's all fine and good. But the thing is, since my phone is currently off line, it's currently a pending action and won't erase the data unless it's turned on and connected to the internet again....SO, if I were to get a New Iphone, (I am eligible to uprgrade) it would be risky right? Because if I get a new Iphone and get all comfy with a new iphone, and someone turns on my old IPhone, the "Erase Iphone" request will commence and it will delete all the data on my old iphone as well as my NEW iphone right?
    Cause I will be using the same Apple ID for my new Iphone! I can only assume that this is how it works....Apple isn't very clear on how stuff like that works.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    You don't need to worry.  It won't delete anything from iCloud or your new phone, it will only erase the data on the lost phone, and that will only happen if it ever goes online again.

  • Web Gallery with iPhone, two questions

    I now have three albums in my web gallery. When I take a picture with iPhone and go to upload to web gallery, only one of the albums shows up. Why not the other two?
    Second question: i successfully sent the photo to that one albumb web gallery, and sure enough, it shows up when I view it in my web browser. But it was only a test and I want to delete it. How do I do that? Because when I view that album in iPhoto, the picture I uploaded from my iPhone isn't there.

    Phil Rogers,
    To upload to the Web Gallery your iPhone sends it via email. Make sure "Allow uploads via Email" is selected in the Web Gallery settings.
    The little "radio waves" icon next to the Web Gallery in iPhoto 7.0.1 is clickable. Clicking on it will cause iPhoto to resync the Web Gallery between .Mac and the computer.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • IPhone GPS question

    Hello Everybody!
    I'm a new iPhone user and new at iPhoneFans.
    I'm from Brazil and I have an iPhone 3Gs without jailbreak and locked to my mobile company (Vivo). Next week I'm gonna to Orlando. It will work in roaming, but I will not use data connection in roaming because it is extremelly expansive (about USD$ 15 per MB).
    I would like to know if I have a GPS software like Tomtom, and if I try to use it, it will need some kind of data connection for the aGPS assistance?
    And other question is, there are some GPS software that I could buy just adicional maps instead the full software for each "map" or country?
    Thanks for any help.

    Although the iPhone uses AGPS or assisted GPS, the iPhone includes a GPS receiver. The iPhone's AGPS allows for a GPS fix to be acquired faster only. It is not required to get a GPS fix.
    Data roaming is turned off by default with the iPhone. Data access via the cellular network is not required to get a GPS fix, and if you have a GPS app with maps data for a geographic location downloaded and available locally on the iPhone with the app, no internet access is required for access to the maps data.

  • IPhone resolution question

    Hi, i have some folios in the normal ipad resolution 1024x768 and i want to change now to iphone 5/6 resolution
    couple questions:
    - is 1136x640 the correct resolution for that?
    - how do you usually/whats the best way to resize/change resolution on each article to that resolution?
    Thanks

    If you create an 1136x640 folio, it will show up on iPhone 5 and later but not iPhone 4s and earlier.
    I think the easiest approach is to use the Alternate Layouts feature in InDesign. But keep in mind that the 1024x768 layout converted to an 1136x640 layout would most likely be too small for the iPhone. To maintain the same SD scale, consider creating an alternate layout that's 50% scale (568x384).

  • IPhone Sim Question. Christmas present for the gf

    Hi Mac users. Just wanted to clear something up about the iPhone. I have myself an iPhone 3gs. Taken out with contract, phone included, all very simple. Now christmas is rolling around I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a 3gs also as she's always looking at mine lol. Thing is, she already has a monthly contract using a sony ericsson xperia mini pro (which she hates). Her contract is with Vodaphone. Problem is tho I've heard I can't just surprise her with an iPhone, she pops her sim card in and away she goes. Apparently the sim wont work in an iphone or something and has to be set up by the provider and a different tariff arranged for it to work :/. Can anyone tell me if that information is correct as I am keen on suprising her with it on christmas day. But cant really talk to her provider without her…. and pretty much giving away the surprise. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    WOW, Lots of questions.
    First, I suggest you read the descriptions of the Apple Airport Extrem and Airport Express, the two wireless devices made by Apple, so that you understand the different capabilites of the two.
    For your friend, I'm going to assume that you want to connect all the devices wirelessly. This should be possible with his existing wireless router (model?), the XP laptop, iPad, and Epson printer should all be able to reside on the network. The primary issue is printing from the Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone).  As you may be aware, the best and easiest solution is to have a printer that is AirPrint compatible, or purchase something like the Lantronics xPrintServer, which allows USB and network printers that are not AirPritn compatible to be used with iPads and iPhones. Finally, the Apple Airport Software Utility (there is an Apple OS and an Windows version) will allow you to configure any Apple wireless device (Express or Extreme).
    So post back how you intend to connect the devices (ethernet or wirelessly) and what model epson printer you have, is it network capable or just USB? Is it AirPrint compatible?  I can give you more specific help then.
    As for your network, yes you connect either the airport Extreme or Express to an existing network. But if all you want to do is add AirPrint capability so that you can easily print from your iPhone or iPad, i'd suggest that you just add an xPrint server or maybe try the NetGear Genie software (runs on a Mac or PC) which is supposed to add airprint capability to any network but requries that a Mac or PC be running on the network in order to use it.
    Post back if you have more questions.

  • Quick iPhone packager question...

    Hello,
    I am interested in purchasing Flash CS5 so I can make an iPhone app that involves PDF opening and saving, but I had a question to all those who have used AlivePDF... would it work with the packager for iphone to make an iPhone app?
    If not...
    With the rescources Flash CS5 has with Air 2...would I be able to open a PDF, draw on it, then save it to the iPhones desktop? Or would that just be an AlivePDF thing? If AlivePDF doesn't work with the iPhone packager, is there any way I could handle opening/saving PDF's with anything else?
    Thanks in advance for the reply.
    -mightybotme

    Hi mightybot,
    I checked with Thibaut, and he indicated AlivePDF should work with AIR 2 mobile profile and the Packager for iPhone.  Let us know your results!

  • IPhone/iTunes question

    I have two questions. One, how do I download selected songs from my iTunes folder on my Mac to my iPhone?
    Two, is there a good site for video tutorials on iPhone?
    mahalo

    I would like the ability to browse the iTunes store on the iPhone when on the EDGE network and add them to a "download queue" that downloads only when WiFi access is available or when I am back on my home computer.
    To me and many other people, the iTunes store on the iPhone serves as a great way to purchase and download new music on the fly. This is the most useful when I want a new song I hear on the radio or from a friend, etc. But since the iPhone store is only accessible via WiFi, the instant ability to find the song and purchase it is unavailable when I most want to use it. I usually forget the name of the artist or song by the time I get to a wifi network or computer.
    This feature I'm requesting would allow me to purchase a song anytime anywhere but would not complicate or slow down downloads because they would not be allowed over EDGE. Thanks!

  • Iphone contract question

    I have an 8gb iphone and was thinking about giving it to my daughter and buying me a new one. My question is, if she puts in her sim card do I have to upgrade her to a data plan? Or can she just use the phone, wifi, ipod, texting etc....?

    Good point .

  • IPhone purchase question.....?

    I recently ordered my iPhone 4 through the Apple site. But I already have on on preorder at Best Buy.
    So my question is, if Best Buy calls me and says my iPhone 4 is in, can I pick it up from them, then cancel my purchase that I made through the Apple store?
    I was just wondering,
    Thanks in advance!!

    You can cancel your order made via Apple's online store as long as the order status hasn't changed to prepared for shipment. Once the order status has changed to prepared for shipment, you can't cancel the order.

  • IPhone vibrate question

    Hi all,
    My question is whether you can increase the strength of the vibrate function on the iphone? I generally leave the ringer off so that it doesn't disturb, but it seems like the iphone's vibrate is too weak to really notice. Does anyone know a way to increase the strength and make it more noticeable?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    sorry this is not currently possible, maybe your phone is broken as I find the vibrate more then fine on my iPhone

  • IPhone iPod Question

    I have a question about the iPod in the iPhone 3G 8GB. Is it possible to manually add/remove music from your iPhoen as I do not have enough room and I do not want to delete additional content. I cannot figure out how you can delete or add specific songs or albumns, is there a way to do this?.
    Also when listening to an albulm on my iPod it does not play through teh albumn, it just plays track 1 or the selected track over and over instead of playong through the albumn, is there a way to change this?.
    Any help appretiated
    Kind Regards

    If you make a playlist in iTunes (a 'Smart Playlist' is a good option) of all of your music then you can be sure that all music on the playlist will be loaded and better than that, if you have several playlists containing the same music then each song is loaded only once, thus saving space (I discovered).... If you make a playlist that contains only a sub-set of the music in your Library then you won't be bothered by space wasted on things that you would never play anyway?
    I was (once) tempted to loaded everything in my Library onto my iPhone when my Library was only a bit more than 12Gigs, but seeing how much my megalomania limited options for doing much more with my iPhone I learned very quickly!
    Good luck and may you be able to find a combination that suits you....

  • Help! Unlocking Iphone 4s questions!!

    Hello,
    Im wanting to buy an used Iphone 4s and use it on Tmobile. I read somewhere that if it is factory unlocked by Apple then it can always be updated. See, I have an unlocked Iphone 3g that cant be updated cause if I do it will no longer be unlocked and can never be unlocked again. (Then I cant use it on Tmobile) Atleast that is what I was told. So Im really wanting to make sure my next Iphone is already updated to the latest IOS and (if possible) unlocked to where I can update it without losing the abilitly to use it on Tmobile.
    Also, whats the newest update for the Iphone 4s? Is it IOS 5 or 6? I want to ask any sellers before I buy to make sure I have the newest update!
    Thanks so much for anyones help! You have no idea how much research Ive been doing to figure this stuff out and all I do is end up getting more and more confused!!
    Thanks!!!

    Thank you so much! It's so nice to get a straight answer. I have another question, how can you purchase an unlocked sim-free iPhone from apple? And how much would that be for an IPhone 4s?
    Walk into an Apple Store with credit card in hand or order it on-line from http://www.apple.com.
    Also, could I unlock the phone by myself if I bought one that wasn't unlocked? Cause my other problem is thar if I buy a used already unlocked iPhone it might not be updated with the newest IOS 6.
    No.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Some General iPhone 4 questions

    We just bought my wife a used iPhone 4 and (a little late now) we have some questions.
    Generally the questions revolve around the issues the iPhone 4 had when they were first released - something about the antennae location. How was that resolved? and if so how?
    Is there a way to determine when an iPhone was manufactured or how old it is?
    I see in the forum 'refined' lineup there are iPhone 4 forums for both GSM and CDMA - where is that shown on the iPhone?
    The primary issue we are having is with signal strength. Since it's 'hers' I only hear about it so don't get much chance to see for myself.
    Thank you for any help

    The antennae issue was blown out of all proportion.  Many phones have similar issues.
    Most do not have the issue.
    I have never experienced this problem, nor has anyone that I personally know.
    Funny what the internet can do. (maybe not so funny)
