I have bought an used Iphone from a shop. then i put my account id in it. then it goes perfectly. After awhile i have done a reset all data and sitting then i could not get the Iphone started because it have been asked to put another email starting with u
For contact [email protected]Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?
By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
AND Click on create an apple ID.
the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours. -
My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?
WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try -
For some reason all my ringtones that I have purchase have disappered on my iphone and itunes on my computer. How do I get them back? They are not on my purchase list.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer. -
Is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices in icloud account
is it possible to not have contacts from an iphone show up on all devices
Yes. If they have different iCloud accounts or if Contacts is not turned on in Settings>iCloud.

Background info: I have music on my iphone that i would like to change / delete / update manually. Software versions of both itunes and iphone are up to date.
So, in chronological order:
When i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes detects it. Fine. No problem.
I click on the 'on this iphone' tab (where I would expect to see the music i know to have on my iphone)... It says 'Music - zero items'. Hmmmm - i know i have over 1 GB of music on there...
I click on the summary tab for my iphone. 'Manually manage music and videos' is checked. The status bar at the bottom shows i have over 1 GB of 'other' information on my iphone, but no music.
Basically what i'm after is being able to delete and add music from my itunes to my iphone as i see fit. At present i am unable due to the reasons outlined above. Tried contacting Apple direct but providing me with only 140 characters to describe the problem to them is.. well... pretty w@nk.
Any help appreciated- have been scouring the discussion boards but cannot find anything that correlates directly.
Thanks in advanceWithout syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

i reformatted my mac pro from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back. i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac.
Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
Good luck -
I have the iPhone 4S, and have only had it 5 days. Two days ago, I accidently reset my passcode and did not write it down. I have no idea what the passcode is, and have tried so many times that i have totally enabled my phone, and it says connect to iTunes to take care of it but i have no idea how. PLEASE HELP ME
Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch the iTunes app if not already launched.
Since you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer which can include much more than music, more than likely you will be prevented from restoring the iPhone with iTunes the normal way. This prevents someone from syncing your iPhone with iTunes on another computer in the event your iPhone was lost or stolen.
If you are prompted to enter your passcode when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you must place your iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes - as a new iPhone. iTunes creates and maintains a backup for the iPhone when syncing, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but since you don't know the passcode and you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, a backup will not be created. You will lose data on your iPhone such as contacts, notes, calendar events, etc.
Steps for placing your iPhone into recovery mode.

Can I transfer my Iphone info to my new computer?
Hi folks! Recently i bought Windows 7 for my laptop and i completely forgot to do a back up of my itunes library, so i have nothing in there right now. I still have everything in my iphone but i would like to know if i can transfer all my info from the iphone to the new computer (itunes)? in order to keep all my info (songs, pics, ringtones, videos and movies). If anyone knows how to do it or if its possible please let me know.
Thanks in advance!First, Authorize the new computer in the iTunes store (in iTunes, Store/Authorize Computer).
It depends on the info. Purchased tracks and apps must be transferred using File/Transfer purchases, as already stated. Ripped tracks or tracks from other sources cannot be recovered this way. There are 3rd party tools that can do this; use Google.
Photos cannot be recovered without using a 3rd party tool (use Google to find one), and even after recovered will not have the original resolution.
Contacts and Calendar can be recovered. First make sure there is at least one entry in the Calendar and Contact lists on the PC. Then sync; you will be asked if you want to merge. Say Yes.
Application data on the iPhone will be backed up the first time you sync, but be sure to Transfer Purchases first. -
I have 2 macs, 2 iPhones and am looking to buy an iPad. If I buy an app like pages or angry birds from the app store, can I install it on all of them? Is that legal to authorize all of those devices, I think I get up to 5, so that it would work?
ThanksYou can buy and install on all your IOS devices, and separately buy and install on all OSX devices, so 2 purchases.

IPhone 4s won't sync to itunes saying I have to authorize my PC when it's already authorized.
I bought a used iPhone 4s and I haven't synced my phone to iTunes since i bought it and i was trying to do so yesterday and it kept telling me that I can't sync my phone because of some purchases on the phone and that i have to authorize my computer to be able to sync it but my laptop is already authorized.
P.S.
- the technician restored my phone and used a different apple ID to set it up but I signed out from it and used mine as soon as I got my phone and I kept some apps from that apple ID on my phone.
- also, I updated my phone to 7.0.3 just recently (I dunnot if this is happening because of these two things)Rome,
I would try everything that "Diesel" has suggested !!!
I had the same problem after updating to iOS 5.1. I was never able to fix it. I did however find a work around and that was to delete the offending Wi-Fi configuration and then under "Other" manually add back my Wi-Fi connection. This solved the auto re-connect problem. I don't think this is a fix but a pretty darn good work-around.
I talked to Apple about this problem while arranging for a replacement phone (for another problem) and the Technician seemed to be aware of this quirk and suggested that my fix was about the best I could expect.
HOWEVER - when I received my replacement phone not only did the problem that I exchanged the phone for now function correctly but the "Auto-reconnect" of the Wi-Fi worked as expected and as it did prior to the iOS 5.1 update.
Go-Figure !!! -
Hi all,
I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
Appreciate very much!
Thanks.Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

FaceTime: I have a iPad, iPhone, iMac all on the same apple Id/account. Without changing id/email address can I use FaceTime between any 2 of my devices? It works from iPad to iPhone but not the other way??? I would like talk/see my kids if am away.
Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one accountIOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal. -
