Does the iphone 4 work with Ford SYNC?  I recently lost all my contacts and think it had something to do with SYNC.  Any suggestions?

Anybody else had problems with Ford SYNC and iphone 4?
Lost all my contacts.  Any way to recover them if they haven't been backed up?

The complaints I've heard most are due to the fact that the iPhone will not let you use the sync system to read and compose text messages, etc. I vaguely recall somthing about address books not syncing properly, but I've never heard of the sync system wiping the address book on the phone. It shouldn't be possible as the iPhone only supports PBAP for contact syncing, which is one way.
In any event, if the contacts were not synced to something and have been lost, there is no way to recover them, no matter what it was that wiped them.

  • Does The iPhone works in Sweden?

    Does The iPhone works in Sweden?
    Or is it locked to USA's network?
    Can I make calls from the iPhone from Sweden, that's the question...

    Yes, you can use it in Sweden on roaming, or anywhere else in the world. It will cost a fair bit though, as carriers charge high prices for using mobile phones abroad. In fact, a substantial amount of their annual profits come from charging roaming customers (a few years ago I seem to recall some operators making a quarter of their annual profits from this relatively small segment of the market).
    But you can't swap the SIM for a Swedish one and use a domestic carrier directly.

  • My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

    My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

    Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)?  And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

    You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
    If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes.   Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music.  To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device.  then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
    If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
    If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

    Restore the iPhone from your backup.
    See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

  • How do I transfer all the content from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen iTouch, including apps and notes. I replaced an old 2nd gen with the 3rd last year and lost all my contacts and notes.

    What's the best way to transfer all the content, including notes and apps, from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen. When I replaced my last iTouch with the 3rd gen I lost all my contacts and notes.

    Backup the 3g by syncing in iTunes. Then connect the new one and sync everything to it from your backup.

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

    Where were you storing your contacts?  In the cloud?  In outlook?  Synch them back from wherever they were being stored.

    Not true. The iPhone works in ANY country and it can be activated EVERYWHERE.
    Of course ONLY if using methods which aren't officially supported or approved by Apple.
    Since I'm not permitted to give out details (do a Google search, use the words iPhone, unlock and hack but BEWARE of rogue sites trying to sell you an unlock!), a few hints:
    1. a software unlock is available but it works with FW 1.0.2 (latest) and it will be "gone" as soon as you update to a newer FW version
    2. the software unlock requires to activate the iPhone first and to change it to a "writeable" state. Both requires certain methods NOT approved or supported by Apple, one reason why your iPhone warranty may be affected too by doing this.
    3. software unlocking the iPhone requires basic computer skills and it works best using OSX but it works with Windows too.
    4. applying the software unlock incorrectly (not following the instructions step by step without ANY deviation), may brick your iPhone, putting it in a state where it can't be recovered anymore and you need to send it in to Apple. It doesn't happen too often but it has happened to a couple of people, so make sure you READ the instructions first, print them out and read them again before applying the software unlock.
    5. a point and shoot application isn't available yet for the software unlock but the current methods require very little skills since they're using a graphical interface instead of command line utilities.
    6. a point and click application may be available soon to allow a simple software unlock even for novice computer users.
    It is sad that Apple went the wrong way (in my opinion) to market the iPhone, selling it freely to anybody on this planet, not provider-locked, would have allowed even higher numbers of sold phones and people wouldn't get angry at the locked phone policy Apple started with AT&T.
    Another thing: there are already tons of third party appliations available for the iPhone, unfortunately the same thing here...NOT supported or approved by Apple. Some of these applications allow a free configuration of the "Springboard" of the iPhone, making it possible to have 30(!) icons on the screen, you can scroll them down very easy. There are many many other interesting applications like the WiFi stumbler or even an Apache webserver.
    The iPhone community is huge right now and I just hope that Apple understands that this community is only on their side if Apple really stays "neutral" like they promised in an interview. If Apple would start to fight the community, the outrage would be incredible.

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • What can I do, I do not have the same email that is on my iCloud and cannot remember my password, I lost all my contacts and cannot get them back, what can I do?

    I do not have the same email address that I did when I started icloud, I do not remember my password and I lost all my contacts with this newest upgrade, it wants e to sign into icloud, but I cant, what can I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are saying you can't turn off find my phone because it is still using an old ID, you need to change your ID back to the old address at My Apple ID turn off find my phone then change your ID back at my Apple ID.
