Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

It will not do anything at all to your computer.

"An error occurred while restoring from the backup.Files can't be restored"

My 4 month old MacBook Pro 15" running 10.6.2 lobotomized itself and I had to have a new HD put in it. I backed up the old one w/ TM on an external HD. I've tried (by the book, and with direct verbal guidance from the Help People at Apple) to restore the system and files but every time it gets to 10.2% in the restoration process and then I get this message: "An error occurred while restoring from the backup. Please restart." and under the frozen progress bar is the chilling line: "Files can't be restored." I've tried restoring from several dates on the TM backup list but it always stops at 10.2% completion. Help!

Hi.
Start by booting from your SL install disc, and selecting Utilities from the menubar, but before going on to +Restore System from Backups,+ instead select +Disk Utility.+
Make +*absolutely certain+* that your internal HD has the GUID *Partition Map Scheme* and the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ Format (unless you're sure it should be +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).+
Then do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on your Time Machine drive.
If that succeeds, quit Disk Utility, then continue with the full restore (per #14 in the FAQ).
But if that finds errors it can't fix, it's possible that +Disk Warrior+ can fix them. It's about $100, and is probably a good long-term investment, but there's no guarantee.
If all else fails, go back to Disk Utility and erase your internal HD, then install OSX. When your Mac restarts, use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your users, apps, settings, and data from your backups (see #19 in the FAQ).
Then download and instal the "combo" update to get back to 10.6.2. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 (or http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 for 10.6.3).
Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility afterwards.

Someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

You must be trying to sync it with a different computer than the one it used last. No, there is no other way to do this.
The iPhone may be synced to one and only one computer at any given time. If you choose to sync it to another, you can do that as often as you wish, but its content is erased first.

I had my iphone replaced yesterday and wondering if i am suppose to set up as a new iphone or restore from the backup of the iphone

i had my iphone replaced yesterday and wondering if i am suppose to set up as a new iphone or restore from the backup of the iphone

Actually, they will both accomplish the same thing on a new
(different). The difference is that setting up new will lead
you through all the questions and such and restore from backup
will just do it.
So, if there are some things that you may want to change
as far as syncing,mail, etc., set up as new. If you want
nothing to change, go the restore route.

HT1386 i bought a new iphone and im trying to sync for the first time. Do I restore from the backup of my old phone or set up from my new iphone

any thoughts

If you want to restore the settings and data from your old phone to your new one, restore from the backup of your old phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109). You will still have to sync with iTunes to transfer apps, music, and other iTunes media back to your phone.

Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app so I am concerned

If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

Why did my itunes not restore from the iCloud?

I have a new iPad Air and it was not recognized on my PC running Windows 8. I followed the resolve given in one of the posts in the iTunes Apple support community. My PC did recognize it but when I went to use iTunes it did an update which forced me to restore the iPad Air. I was not given the option of retoring it from the iCloud. That left the iPad Air empty since it did not use the extensive iCloud backup that I had. Now I have none of my items from the iTunes store or anywhere else and they were all there prior to the update. My iCloud was up to date and was my source of backup and was how I configured the new Mini and AIr recently. Now there is nothing. I am not amused at all. Now what?

To restore your iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure you phone is connect to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

Place your phone in recovery mode (search Google) and restore. If that doesn't work, place in DFU mode (again, search Google) and restore.

Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general- reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
it would be much appreciated.
Amnesty

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Why won't my applications purchased from the itunes store launch on my macbook pro? My software is up to date.

I purchased a few games from the app store recently. I have updated all of the software on my Macbook Pro but the applications will not launch. If the problem was contained within just one application, I could have fixed it, but neither of the applications will launch. I click on them, they turn blue, but that's it. I do not have an iPhone or iTouch with which to test the applications. Could somebody tell me what is wrong with my computer/the applications and how to fix them?!

Hello ah3636,
Apps on the iTunes store are made for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and not the Mac.
By any chance, do you mean the Mac App Store?
Regards,
Tim

Why won't my iPhone restore from back-up, error message saying latest back up corrupted?

Hi all
I was updating my iPhone 4Gs software today and came across an issue when the update finished my phone switched off and anyway it came back on and is showing up as black iPhone 5 on my itunes (It's a white iPhone 4S) which I find odd.
Also, I had my iPhone plugged into my mac a while before I updated the software, meaning my phone was fully backed up.
When the phone decided to turn off and turn back on, a restore message came on the screen and I tried to restore from latest back up (which was today) but It didn't let me - an error message came up saying that the latest back up was corrupt
Please can you help me- can I restore my phone from todays back up somehow??
Thanks in advance

Hi !!
Mine got same problem too !
After finished updated to 6.1, Restore failed !!!
it said corrupted backup
Tried older backup file from Time Machines but still failed
I guess this is a BUG from iOS 6.1
PLS HELP
