After the initial "recharging" of my Iphone 5, is it once again necessary to allow the battery to fully die before charging?
After the inital die/recharge of my Iphone 5, is it necessary to, once again, allow the battery to completely die before charging? Or, can I just recharge it when the battery gets low?
You can recharge your phone whenever you want. The lithium ion battery (not just apples) have a certin amount of charge cycles like any other lithium battery. A charge cycle is a complete 0%-100%. So sticking it on the charger everytime at night doesn't count as a charge cycle. If your batter is at 80% then you charge it to 100% that is 20% of a charge cycle. Its a little confusing, but I learned it with doing a lot of asking and research. Don't worry, just charge your phone when you need to and you'll be fine.
Its recommended to do a full charge from 0%-100% once a month to calibrate the battery meter.

Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?
Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.
I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue -

Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
1. Connect your iPhone
2. Open iTunes
3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode -

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
thanksMake sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

Just updated to iCloud, but I can't find the 'purchased' list on the iTunes store on my iPhone. There's no button for it on the toolbar or under the 'more' option. Want to play/download my puchased music via iCloud on my iPhone.... Help someone please?!
Hi again Limons,
just got your last reply per mail, re: 'presently only available in the USA.'
Unfortunately, you're right. Just found this article: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/stories/061011icloud
seem like it's going to be a while before this gets sorted out . . .
Frustrating outcome to my question, but thanks a lot for helping me sort out what the problem was :-)
All the best to you. -
The lower row of my iphone does not respond to tapping. i.e. texting; the space bar, return
The lower row of my iphone does not respond to tapping. i.e. texting; the space bar, return and number tabs and for phone; emergency, 0, and delete tabs.
I've updated my phone, turned it off and on, charged it. Nothing. Help!Sounds like a hardware problem. When you updated, that would have wiped the device and installed the latest iOS, thus pretty much eliminating a software issue. You could try to restore as new, i.e. without your backup and see if it works factory fresh. If still a problem, it's most likely a hardware issue.

I lost my iphone and I use the locate iphone function to wipe to protect my information, but I cannot get the location to restore my iphone, can I request a permanent lock to prevent the thief from using it?, I call your call centre, your staff said they can do nothing, I am great disappointed as your advertisment said that we can protect our phone from lost, however, I think my phone has now been resale and reuse by others, but Apple cannot do anything with your so call "Find my iphone" function, I have brought 4 iphone and iPad for my family use, I will never use your product again and recommend to my company or friends anymore!
Philip SinYou are not addressing Apple here at all.
Apple can do nothing. Sorry.
Like any other make of any other phone, they cannot permanently disable it.
The thief is responsible. Not Apple. You seem to be directing your anger at the wrong people.
No phone manufacturer will do this.
"I am great disappointed as your advertisment said that we can protect our phone from lost, "
It mentions "loss" NOT theft. you cannot find a mention of theft protection. Find my iphone is NOT theft protection and has never been advertised as such. -
I cannot get the wifi feature on my iphone to switch on. I have just uploaded the latest Operating system but nothing has changed. I have reset, again no change. Any ideas?
If you have an iTunes backup that includes the photos you may be able to extract them from the backup using a 3rd party utility such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

Hi everybody, do you know if an apple store or the assistance can unlock an iphone 4S ? and if it yes whats is the price ? Thanks
The only one who can unlock an iPhone is the carrier that is holding the contract on the phone.

I have the Dropbox App on my iPhone 5, for my photos. I don't need all of the photos to be on my phone, and my Dropbox is full. How do I remove photos and, where do I move them to on my computer?
If you have DropBox installed on your computer, you should already have those images in a folder corresponding to the cloud folder structure. Simply copy the from there to any folder you wish them to be in.
And, if you delete them from the dropbox folder, then sync dropbox, they will be removed from all of your devices.
You might want to login to dropbox and have a look at the instructional tours.

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.
Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
