Does the iphone itself back up information about phone numbers and names before being saved?

Here’s one to stretch your brains..
I was adding a new contact in my Add feild (phone # and name) portion of my iphone 4 but was unable to complete the task. I had added a phone number and name and left this window open for half an hour. When I came back to it I accidentally pushed Cancel (my eyes are bad) I instantly realized y mistake but the name and phone number is gone. Is it possible that it was backed up automatically and I can recover this information?

No. It was never saved, therefore there was nothing to back up. Not to mention the fact that it didn't get plugged into iTunes inbetween so there would be no place to back up to.

Does the iphone 5 still receive updates?

Does the iphone 5 still receive updates even thought it is no longer being produced?

Yes, the iPhone 5 is compatible with the latest version of iOS.

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen? This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not? Seems like an assinine concept!

It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

Notes: does the iPhone back up Notes during synch?

Does the iPhone back up the Notes during Synch? I can't see any notes on iTunes. Is there a way to see the Notes on the computer? I would like to keep track of my Notes; or some sort of text file/database with secure back up.

Yes.

Look at this product. It can do what you want.

Does my iPhone's Back-Up Assist conflict with the Verizon Cloud?

I just got my first iPhone 5C through Verizon. When I transferred my contacts from my old LG phone through Verizon, I found that I had multiple entries for each contact. Since I have three Yahoo Email accounts, I assumed that was the cause. I called Verizon and asked if I backed up my contacts from my new iPhone would that supersede the contact list that was on the Verizon website. They couldn't give me a clear answer.
So, my questions are:
1. What is the iPhone's Back Up Assist?
2. Does the Back Up Assist serve the same function as the Verizon Cloud? (If so, am I better off using Back Up Assist or the Verizon Cloud…or both?)
3. I don't want to back up anything on the iCloud, so how do I make sure I'm not doing that?
As you can see, I am a complete neophyte at this, so please be patient and understanding.
Many thanks for your input.

As Chris CA, noted Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud are both Verizon apps. Backup Assistant is older software and has largely been replaced by Verizon Cloud which will back up more categories of data. They are both cloud based back up services. You should not try to use both. That can result in the type of duplicates you're seeing. If you want to use a Verizon provided back up option, go with Verizon Cloud. It's advantage over iCloud is that, should you ever change to another platform (e.g. Android) on Verizon's network, your data will be easily accessible. It is not, however, as well integrated into the OS as iCloud.
If you do not want to use any type cloud back up, don't use Backup Assistant, Verizon Cloud or iCloud. You can delete both Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud from the phone. iCloud is built in. You can turn off all the back up/sync options under Settings>iCloud. I would recommend leaving Find My iPhone turned on, though.

Why does my iPad Mini Retina Display battery drain so quickly? I will be playing some 3d games and it says the battery is 90% but I'll turn off and turn in back on it about 30 minutes and the battery is only 70%. Why is the reading so inaccurate?

I will be playing some 3d games and it says the battery is 90% but I'll turn off and turn in back on it about 30 minutes and the battery is only 70%. Why is the reading so inaccurate? I understand that 3d games on high brightness will drain my battery quickly, but why doesn't it tell be how low it is to begin with? The other night it said it was around 35% and I turned it on in the morning and it was only 3%?

Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.

Does the iPhone 5 support Sprint's 4G Wimaxx?

this is the answer i got from an Apple Support representative before he disappeared without saying anything:
Now Chatting with Kaeleb
Hi, welcome to the US Apple Online Store. How are you?
does the iphone 5 work on sprints 4g wimaxx and 4g lte?
Yes it sure does, the iPhone is designed to run Sprints network wherever you have it available.
i was told by a sprint representative that the iphone 5 is only capable of supporting their 3G or 4G LTE and doesn't supoort their 4G wimaxx
Then that information is correct
Our iPhone is designed to run whatever network the carrier allows for, if they have features not offered specifically they would be the ones with that information. The network information comes from the carrier.
yes but is the phone capable of it? it either has the antenna to connect to it or not
All iPhones have antennas to connect to a cellular network, the type of network it connects to is determined by the service provider, in your case Sprint.
I haven't heard from you for a few moments. Would you like to continue chatting?
your not giving me useful answers
I am giving you accurate information
Wether its useful or not, the information your looking for comes from Sprint.
there are specific antennas and frequencies that must be used depending on what you're trying to connect to
And since you have already discussed this with them, I have no idea why you are here asking us about something Sprint has already clarified for you.
your the company that designs and manufactures thephone
Your not getting it. As you said, we make the phone.
With an Antenna
The type of network* is determined by the service provider.
because prior to ever speaking with sprint one of your apple representatives gave me information contradicting that
4G, 4GLTE etc, all made up by the carriers to determine their networks.
what im asking is: is the iphone 5 made to be compatible with 4g wimaxx
whether or not sprint allows it to be
I get what your asking but your not quite understanding the answer. The iPhone is made compatible to connect to cellular network. Apple does not have information regarding which network types it will connect to, its designed to work on a GSM or CDMA network, the network strength which is 4G etc, is determined by the carrier. Here at Apple we have nothing to do with that.
We don't make iPhones designed specifically for 4G, 4G LTE, 4g wimaxx or any other network. Its made to run on a GSM or CDMA type network.
you manufacture 3 different iPhone that have specific antennas radio frquencies based on which carrier its going to be activated on
From the your carrier determines the compatibility.
Thats not true
We manufacture 2 types as I told you
GSM and CDMA
Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA
a verizon iphone cant be used on sprints network and vice versa because the use different frequencies
both cdma but different
like the differnence between wimaxx and lte
Not true, its because the phones are locked to the carriers services. It has nothing to do with Antennas, I am not sure where you are getting your information but if you can show me on our website where it says anything about 3 different Antennas then I would understand where you are coming from.
Let me get you the number to our technical support team so that we can find a resolution to this issue. 800-APL-CARE(800-275-2273)
one moment and i will
I am a sales chat and here to assist customers with the online store, I am not going to be able to leave this chat open for you to contact technical support.
i already spoke to them
Ok great, do you have any online sales questions I can answer for you?
they weren't able to give me an answer and aid to look online
I find that hard to believe, this team knows for a fact and are the experts they would never direct anyone to go online for that information. You may have spoke with customer service. You need to call technical support from the number I just have you.
well they did
GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 2, 4, 5, 17) CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25) GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5)
This is a final warning to stop this type of response. If this conversation is not kept on a professional level, this chat will end.
thats from your site
you asked me to show you thats what i did
You can call technical support but I need to assist customers with their purchases today.
i have been nothing but professional
i am a customer
i own a macbook air and mac mini
as well as 4th gen ipod touch and an old iphone 3gs
Great, this is a sales chat.
and this is how youre going to treat me?
I have helped you to the best of my ability, your in the wrong department
All I am doing is getting you to the correct team, because obviously you have not been given the information your looking for.
well you helped me as much as your so called technical support that youre trying to refer me to. even though i already stated they werent able to help me
I guarantee you didn't speak with the technical support team. There is no way they would send a customer online to seek that information, they are well aware that the online store chat is for online sales assistance. I am not going to continue to argue with you. This chat is not going anywhere with this back and forth. If you want assistance you will call our technical support team.
800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
thats who i spoke to at 10:03
put me on hold several times and said he was unsure and for me to look online
in your chat community
Then I would suggest calling back because for whatever reason the agent you spoke with the last time must not have been an Apple trained technicians, as they get this question plenty and know the answer.
Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat us again.
You are currently not in a chat

All the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case?

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case? ive been reading articles that says it doesn't, opinions please...

In that case (no pun intended), you may not need one. I agree, it does look and feel better without the case. I bought a clear case so it still shows off the design, but the problem is the case itself scratches easily.
It's your call. But I would say, if you are not worried about dropping the phone (with AppleCare+, a replacement is only $49 as you may know), you do not absolutely need a case.

Why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

why does the iphone 5 always display the wrong time

I had similar problem. My iPhone was always about 3 minutes faster than the correct time here in the UK which I found to be very irritating. It just came to a head because here in the UK we have just changed from British Summer Time back to standard GMT. This actually worked automatically except that the iPhone time still showed it to be about 3 minutes faster than GMT. However I have now cured the problem (almost) by going to
Settings/General/ Date & Time/ and then selected the "Set Automatically" button.
The clock then immediately jumped back 3 minutes and now the iPhone time is only about 10 seconds slow which is good enough for me.

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
Any clue?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I had to restore my iPod because I forgot the password, like how santa forgot about me. And I didn't set up a Backup. SO I sort of lost everything. But I'm wondering if I can somehow get my pictures back from somewhere. PLEASE HELP ME. Thanks

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via

Does the iphone itself back up information about phone numbers and names before being saved?
