Apple wants us to buy new phones ?

I installed the ios 6 version and Im getting a usb port to connect to itunes. is it me or is apple trying to mess up our phones so we can buy the i-phone 5???

Apple didn't force you to buy anything at all including the iPad. You made the choice to buy the iPad. You do not have to but iPhoto or iMovie. Nobody is forcing you to buy anything.

    You purchased a gray market phone. The iPhone is not available for sale from any Authorized source in Ukraine. There are no authorized or supported carriers in Ukraine.
    Take it ack and get your money back.
    If you want an iPhone, go to a country where unlocked iPhones are available for legitimate sale and purchase one directly from Apple.

  • Buying new phone what size shoul i get

    buying new phone what size shoul i get

    It depends a lot on how you use the device.
    Emails and web pages are small with little impact. Music is more average sized files but people can have hundreds of them. Movies and videos are your largest files. I use the smallest size because you can always save info and content to the computer. Syncing allows you to move content from the computer to device whenever you'd like. I rotate 7 gb of music onto my ipod then put a different 7 gb every couple weeks. I never have to listen to a song twice. If you don't have a computer, travel a lot, or store a lot of large files, like films to watch, you would definitely need something larger to get by.

  • My apple ID information has my new phone number but imessage uses my old phone number

    My apple ID information has my new phone number but when i connect my new mac to iCloud and my apple ID it has my old phone number listed so when i use imessage on my mac it uses my old phone number instead of my new phone number. what can i do to use my imessage with my new phone number and not my old phone number

    Open Messages on your Mac, then go to Messages>Preferences, select Accounts, select your iCloud account, then click Sign Out.  Then sign back in with the ID your phone is using for iMessage.

  • Hey guys apple need to sort this issue people are buying new phones here and the sound not playing from there phones like alot of people are having the same problem apple are ignoring it. I went to an apple shop for them to want 150 pounds of me

    Hey guys apple need to sort this volume problem out soon like there is guys who have just bought new phones and it is happening to there's.i went to an apple shop for them to tell me I had to pay £150 to get it replaced I don't want a replacement so clearly they know what the problem is apple need to review this site and act fast before they loose alot of customers.

    If you just purchased your iPhone, it will still be under warranty and Apple will replace it at no charge assuming that there hasn't been any damage due to abuse. So anyone with a new iPhone will be taken care of. If your iPhone is out of warranty and it has a hardware problem, then you have to pay the replacement charge regardless of what the problem is. Apple does not repair individual iPhones, they replace them. If you want the iPhone repared rather than replaced, you'll need to send the iPhone to an independent repair shop.
    Since you don't say what "volume problem" you're referring to, though, we can't say whether or not this is indeed a hardware problem. Perhaps if you'll detail the problem and what steps you've taken to try and correct it, someone can offer advice.
    Regards.

  • Buying New Phone At Apple Store

    I am going to be upgrading my iPhone 3 to the 4S.  If I go and buy my phone at the Apple Store, will they be able to get me all set up and up and running or will I still have to bring it to AT&T?  I am thinking I'll get more information on the phone and features at the Apple Store so that's why I am leaning towards going there to buy it over the AT&T Store.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

    Go to the Apple store, they will handle everything. You can transfer your info yourself, after they activate your phone. Just follow the directions here:

  • Buying New Phone but Contract  can't yet what are my options???

    Okay I dropped my phone in some water and had to find a replacement it is a razor but being it was given to me there are issues with it... The phone changes settings on its own and I can't access VM called Verizon and they can't help with changing it and the one that is in the phone is unknown. Talke with Verizon and then Tech Support and they did nothing and said they have no way to know what it is did a master reset and so on.
    So here is my question being the contract the phone is under does not allow new phones till December and I can't extend the contract being it is a business phone what are my options? From what I learned buying just a phone from Verizon is a costly one, and if you buy one from an online source the two I got where prepay only and not able to be used on an existing contract.
    If I take my replacement used phone to a Verizon Store can they get the Pin number out of? I know they are there to sell you a new phone and want you to extend your contract . The cost of a "NEW" Phone is in the hundereds of dollars when you get it for next to nothing when you sign a contract.
    Is there any good place I can get a "New Phone and reactivate it as a replacement and know what the pins are being the one I have now though used Verizon can't not hop[ena dn since it turns off the ringer now and then I miss calls and get vms I can get.
    Any suggestions or just go and buy a new phone whatever the best cost is and be done with this???
    ANy information on what I can do seems that Verzion can only help so far via the phone and going to a store from what I have experienced and heard is requiring an contract extension and then you get a new phone for a better price. Which again I can not do.
    Just looking for some good information on wat the options are???
    MikeMich

    Thanks, Looks like I am stuck with the current phone even though no one at Verizon can assist me in getting the pin for the vm feature. As for ebay I contacted 2 sellers that stated their phones were good to be used on Contract the first one I got I called attempted to activate it and they told me it could only be used as a "PrePaid" Phone. I had to return it and the seller want me to end the transaction as if his listing was valid even though it stated could be used on a existing contract. Being he was also in Michigan I got it within a few days but then had to return it. Seems many list their phones like this but when you contact them and ask they kind of side step it and the auction ends. This seller had good feedback maybe because some don't leave any because of the same issue. I looked at whast the phones are listed at an 300 + unless you sign an additional  2 years which I can't do being it is a company phone and paying twice is also not worth it using it as a prepaid phone for 6 months...
    Looks like they got you anyway so I will just have to continue getting vms and no access and hope the phone lasts until they can get new ones...
    Sad fact is there should be a better way to get a replacement phone. Since I don't know any Verizon Dealers when I had another carrier the guy was great he would do anything including rebuild a doa phone with parts he collected as people upgrade but at Verizon they just want you to "upgrade" and "extend" the contract Which I am not the admin person to make that decision
    Guess you have to know someone and I don't...
    Such is life these days...At least for me....

  • Just hit the reset button on my phone now it wants to restart as new phone just want it back to where I left off

    Just hit reset on phone and now it wants me to restart as new phone just want my old info back

    First of all, did you actually accept the reset? You get the opportunity to cancel the reset, but I assume that you didn't cancel it and you did totally erase the phone.
    If you backup with iCloud or iTunes, you can recover your content and data. Do you backup, or sync with iTunes? If you don't ever backup or have never synced with iTunes, you will not be able to recover your data or settings but you can download the majority of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the content.
    Take a look at this.

  • Plannig to buy new phone

    I am planning to buy a new phone cost lessthan 15,000 Indian rupees, which one is best, I need mail for exchane,  good camera, gps
    Thanks in advance

    Looks like the only phone guarantied to work is the iPhone, which unfortunately is locked into AT&T.
    I say this based on my regular observation of post's in the iSync forum for various phones & PDA's . I have 2 very popular Motorola phones , RAZR & KRZR that worked flawlessly in Tiger with iSync but won't do squat in Leopard . Now i'm stuck between Apple & Motorola pointing fingers .

  • Help! I just got a Iphone 4S recently...went to upgrade it thru Itunes. I was asked if I wanted to add a new phone or restore, so I told it to restore. Now I don't have any of my new contacts, messages, etc!! Is there a way to get this info back?

    Help, please!! I recently upgraded to a new Iphone 4S from a 3..I could not upgrade the software so plugged it into my pc and connected to Itunes. It asked me if I wanted to use it as a new phone or restore to my phone, (not being very computer literate, I of course chose restore) So now I have a phone that only has info for contacts from October!! I lost all new contacts, messages, etc. Is there a way to get back those contacts, etc? Thanks!

    restore your contacts and calendar info from the program you sync with

  • Syncing When I Buy New Phone

    I have always synced my contacts from Outlook using iTunes onto my iPhone 4s, but I have also added many contacts directly on my iPhone 4s. So I have a combination of Outlook contacts and other contacts I've added manually to the phone. When I get a new iPhone 5s, how do I get the contacts that I have added on my 4s onto the new 5s, but also keep syning my Outlook contacts? Are the contacts I added manually on my iPhone 4s stored on iTunes? Not sure how this works.
    Another question: when I get a new phone, will music data be retained in iTunes (number of plays, date last played, etc.) and be synced onto the new phone or will everything be reset to zero? I want to keep that data if possible.
    Thanks!

    As long as you backup your old device and restore the new device from the backup, everything should stay the same.

  • Lock button not working. Do I go through apple or Verizon for a new phone?

    I got the phone through Verizon back in October, so it should still be under warranty right? The lock button just started to not work, I have to press it again and again, even then sometimes it won't lock. I also don't live in an area where there's an apple store anywhere near me. Just wondering how I would be able to get a new phone or what they would do.

    If a hardware defect is found, Apple will replace your phone free of charge.  You can bring your phone to Apple, or arrange to have your phone sent in using the support link on Apple's website.  Verizon does NOT handle warranty exchanges or repairs on the iPhone.

  • Numbers "updates", why does Apple want me to buy it again?

    I have Numbers on a new iPad. An update came out but Apple wants my credit card number to purchase it again. The notice tells me this is supposed to be a free update. What am I doing wrong? I'm relatively new to Apple software.

    You shouldn't have to update if you don't want to. If your book looks good, you should be fine.

  • Buying new phone a month or two after upgrade

    I wanted to know if I bought a new phone such as the Droid X would I have to pay the retail price? I upgraded my phone a month or two ago to the LG Cosmos.
    Thanks

    If you purchased your Cosmos with a subsidized price by agreeing to a new contract, then yes if purchasing from Verzion you will have to pay full retail to get another phone.

  • My iphone 5 has been accidentally put in washing machine iv dried it out but the screen has water behind the glass i don't know what to do replace the screen or buy new phone help

    my iphone 5 has been put in washing machine by accident and i have dried it out it works but there is water behind screen pleasehelp dont know what to do i can repair would it be best to buy new screen
    HELP!!!!

    It is likely that the device has unrepairable harm done to it having it washed in the washing machine. However, one thing that could be tried would be to have the device placed in a glad bag full of un-cooked rice and leave it there for 72 hours to see if this will absorb residual moisture showing up on the display glass. It could be assumed that if there is that much moisture showing it's unlikely attempting to draw out moisture will be sucessful.
    Good luck.
