Can I get my iPhone's caller ID on my computer?

I have to keep my iPhone 5 on silent while I'm at work, and I don't usually feel the vibration, so I end up missing a lot of calls. Is there a way t get caller ID to show up on my computer screen?
There are apps in the App Store for this exact purpose, but I haven't been able to pair bluetooth for some reason, and none of the oher BT iPhone threads I've looked at were any help.

No. Why not leave your phone out on your desk instead of your pocket or purse...

Hello, sherlockian17.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the best two resources I could find that would walk you through the syncing process.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes

iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If your device is not recognized in iTunes, see the article below.

How can I get my iPhone to sync with a new computer without being erased?

I was syncing my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, but I formatted the operating system and installed a new iTunes on my laptop. When I connect my iPhone to the laptop, iTunes wants to erase everything in order to start syncing. I want to start syncing with my laptop, not remove all the content already on my phone. I don't want to loose my apps, my contacts, bascially everything on my iPhone.
What can I do? I appreciate for your help
Best!

See the excelent user tip by wjosten: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
In short, you can't. But, you can do it in a way that minimizes what information will be lost, if any.

Bought a new computer and I can't get my iphone to backup on it

So frustrated, can't get my iphone to backup on my new computer. I activated the computer but still no info coming across. Any suggestions???

The sync process for iTunes content is a not a true sync process, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.

FOUND THE ANSWER!!
Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
then click Next.
You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
And putting it here:
C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

It's still not working. I went through every step and still can't get my Iphone to show up on my itunes.
Though I did find that the USB driver is not listed under any devices...

How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned." I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile. I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number. But the person it says is not the person I said.
It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7. Then it went out the window. I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem. If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

It calls both the ipad and iphone when calling the associated email address for the ipad. However, when I call the iphone it does not call the IPAD.
Thanks for your help

You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first - if your Mac can run it:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

Where can I get my iPhone 5 sleep/wake button replaced in Jordan?

Hello,
I bought my iPhone 5 factory unlocked here in Jordan and a while ago I started having problems with the sleep/wake button so I went to Apple's website and found out about the replacement program and when I entered my iPhone's serial number I get this:
"The iPhone 5 serial number you entered is eligible for this program. Please follow the instructions below to have your sleep/wake button replaced."
BUT there is no Apple Retail Store anywhere in Jordan ?? So where can I get my iPhone fixed??

Hi Dema.
There is an Authorised Apple Retailer in Jordan, it's just that it isn't that well known. I've just had my iPhone 5 replaced, free of charge, even though I'd bought it from Saudi Arabia. The store's called iSystem, it's at the end of Al Wakalat Street. Take a U-turn just before the 7th circle on your way from the 6th circle, then take your first right, then another right. There should be a complex on your right. Climb down the stairs and you're there. They have excellent service, although it took 3 weeks for them to get my phone replaced.
Good luck.

How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.
