Apps and phone think im in different country? From backup?

Hi Guys,
I recently moved to the states from Ireland. In Ireland i owned an iPhone 4 and i have waited till now to get the iphone 5 here in the states. So heres the issues, I got my iphone 5 and restored it from a back-up from my iphone 4 everything was there, and everything looked fine. This was until I downloaded an app, the groupon app. Im using a US account, in the united states itunes/app store. Anyways i opened this app and it is only allowing me to choose cities from Ireland. Also when I open the maps application the first thing i see is ireland before it quickly changes to my current location.
So does my phone believe its in Ireland because i restored from and Irish phone back up? and is there anyway around this other than resoring as new?
Thank you!

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
If on a computer:
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

If you are asking how to authorise your iTunes account on that computer, then you do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) - this screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be fairly similar on windows 8 :

HT1390 It takes hours to download a movie either on Apple TV or Mac and most of the time doesn't download at all. To me it is a bad app and I think I'll stick to Netflix or Xfinity

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netfix uses adaptive streaming, if you have a slow connection it will reduce the quality of the video, iTunes ensures you get the quality you pay for.

I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine. Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store. Help.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

Restoring phone then syncing contacts without restoring from backup

This past weekend I went to the Genius Bar to discuss problems I've been having with my iPhone 3GS (software version 4.1) The tech at the Genius Bar told me my best option was to restore my iPhone and I asked if I should restore from backup after and his response was no the same problems I'm having will just reappear. So naturally I asked how I would get my contacts back and he said by syncing them but I am confused. I've owned iPhones for awhile and have never encountered this problem and would like a step by step guide (if its even possible) on how to retrieve my contacts once my phone is restored and set up as new before I go ahead and erase everything off my phone. Thanks in advance for any help anyone has to offer.

Your contacts should be available in an address book application on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on your cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen.
Nothing personal but it is beyond me how so many people that post here don't have their contacts available on their computer, or have email addresses only available for their contacts on their computer, phone numbers only available for their contacts on their cell phone which they have manually entered one by one, and mailing/physical addresses for their contacts who knows where.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book application and with a Windoze PC this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express with XP and with Windows Mail on Vista and Windows 7 called Windoze Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing with a supported address book application on your computer if the application is empty, enter one contact in the supported address book application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing with a supported address book application on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

I backup up my iphone but didnt include password, and now want to restore new handset from backup and keep asking for password but has no idea what it is, pls help

Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...

You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

You can't. That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused. Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

Separate vibrate options for apps and phone settings

Hi all,
In the old iOS there was the possibility to enable or disable vibration per application.
For instance, it was possible to receive badges and alerts for facebook and whatsapp WITHOUT vibration.
At the same time, you could receive text messages and phone calls in silent mode WITH vibration.
I notice that in the iOS 5 it is only possible to enable vibrate for everything or nothing.
So with vibrate on, whatsapp, facebook, calls and text notifications will vibrate like crazy. If vibrate is off, I will not get any notification expect for the visuals ones.
I want my phone to vibrate only when I get called or receive text messages in silent mode, I do not like my phone vibrating non-stop with every whatsapp alert.
Can anyone help me, cause it is really driving me crazy!
Thanks!

Assuming this is what you are wanting to do, you can go to "Set Ringtones/Alerts" (select the speaker icon on the home page) and then choose the sounds you want for phone vs the ones for each email you are wanting to change. If you don't want emails to make any sound the just change the volume to "silent" for each email.

Computer crashed, went to launch Thunderbird and the email files were gone, copied from backup and they are getting erased.

Lost power on the computer and when it came back, went through the Windows 7 stuff and went to launch Thunderbird and the email files were gone. I copy them back from a backup to the directory and when I launch TB the tree is there in the correct order but when I click on something they all disappear. Another thing I can't do is create a directory under the host name, when I right click on the host name > New Folder > and try and create it under the host name it goes under the Inbox which is directly under the host name. If I try and drag to there I want it I get an error like the directory already exists. I still have the files/directories functioning on a laptop so not in total panic mode. Thanks
~Dave

Discovered the problem, TB configured the email account as IMAP rather than POP. I went in and manually changed it to POP, copied the backup files and all better now.
I would have deleted the original post but thought I'd post a follow up instead.

I have garage band on my I pad and from what I can tell I have done everything right with the latest updates and icloud enabled on the i pad and app. A cloud is in the upper right corner of the song but when I look on my icloud drive on a internet browser on my PC it is not there. Any reason why?

Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation

Battery drains little in app and phone gets warmer

Iphone 6, 64Gb
Ios 8.1.2
I bought and iphone 6 last december and when using an app or whatsappfor atleast 5 to 10 min the phone gets warmer and battery charge drains to 5% to 7% ...
When I opend the battery usage in settings it shows whatsapp in my phone usage is 47%..
What shall I do for this type of battery drains when using this app... pls advice...

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
