First got an invalid SIM message. tried the apple suggested tricks. Restored phone. Now cannot re-activate phone and still have invalid sim message. 4s
See above
This means that either the SIM is defective, or the phone is locked to a different carrier than the one the SIM is for. What is the exact message you see?

so basically the official apple headphones work in other iPads, iPhones and computers but they won't work in my iPhone 5. So does this mean there is an issue with my jack? But why do any other alternative earphones work and it's just the apple ones which don't? I'm a little confused and really I'd like the proper ones to work because they produce the best quality sound. Help please!
Could be a contact problem. There are certain places inside the headset port where proper contact is needed for the various functions the Apple headset has, for example the Remote/microphone unit that cheaper headphones don't have.
You should have your phone checked by an Authorized Apple Service provider or by visiting an Apple Store next to your place.

My Time Capsule has quit backing up - now spends all it's time "preparing". I've tried the Apple suggestion of a reset which does not help. All indicators seems to be OK. Running OS 10.5.8 on G4 Powerbook, Time capule is 1st gen I believe. Any ideas?
Hello,
Thanks for your message, I have attempted to repait the permissions as tou suggested. The first time this produced a long list of exceptions and took quite a while, however although it said "Permissions repair Complete" when I ran it again there were still about 20 exceptions, I have repeated the procedure and this is unchanged. The Time Capsule now does not spend hours "Preparing", but the backup attempt fails after a few minutes with the error message "The backup volume could not be mounted." Any further ideas would be appreciated. When I use Disk Utility I can't see the Time Capsule volume, if I could I'd be tempted to re-format it and start from scratch. -

I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. i did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the full amount, will they unlock my phone
AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement. There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.

I can not connect to wi-fi on my 4s. I bought the phone while on vacation in Seattle about a week ago in seattle and it worked fine. When I got back to Ohio I was not abe to pick up a wi-fi signal. Other people standing right next to me have picked up a signal. When I go to settings>Wi-fi the window is grey and reads "No Wi-Fi". Any suggestions?
I have a similar problem. When i upgrade the last os6 software the wifi box now is always in grey color and i cannot switched on to connect wifi. I have been trying different ways to solve this problems including a "reset all settings" and "reset network setting" but nothing happens.
Do you have any idea abt this problem which started on os6 upgrade.?
Brgds

Please turn off your caps lock.

How to get my 5s to recognize my iPad
The only reason you use bluetooth between iPad/iPhone its to share the internet from iPhone to wifi only iPad.
In order to see the bluetooth connection, you must first enable the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
Then on the iPhone, open Setting s> Bluetooth.
Then open the Bluetooth on the iPad adn pair teh devices. -
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Is you Gmail address set up in your iCloud account as the primary? Then nothing to do.
If not, you can set it up that way, here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Or just configure iCloud on your phone or your Mac.
On the Mac, iCloud System Prefs, sign in and check the Mail checkbox. -
please help me
No. If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud. You can't really use iCloud to free up space on your phone because anything you put in iCloud will also be on your phone (except your backup). If you want to be able to access your photos on the web without storing them on your phone, upload them to a service that is designed for that (Flikr, Smugmug, etc.).

Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
No matter what i do, my iphone will not recognize any sim card that is put into the phone, and i have tried 3 different networks
Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?
Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days. You can do some of this with Home Sharing. You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
You do not want to use a new AppleID. Change the AppleID on the new phone to the old ID. Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again." -
