For those of you who had to get a new iPhone after update bricked you...

Can you explain what is involved in the process of setting up your new phone? Is it like a SIM card transfer, or is it a setup through iTunes like you have to do originally? My setup process was much more complicated than most (long story involving business plan) so I am reluctant to get the 2.0.x update because the guy who set up my phone for me seemed to be the only one in the world who could do it.
Thanks.

I have gotten a new iPhone because the previous one didn't want to restore. The Genius simply transfered my SIM card to the new iPhone and I was on my way. At home, I connected my new iPhone to iTunes and restored it from the last backup (even though I should have started from scratch). It worked perfectly, all apps, music, video, contacts, email, ringtones, etc. have been transfered to the ne iPhone and I've been using it without any problems.

i had to get a new iphone today how do i get all the apps and ringtone tht i paid for back

All of your apps and media should be in iTunes on your computer.
If they are, plug the phone in and sync what you want to the device.
If they are not, you can redownload Apps from the app store at no charge.
Also, if you have a backup of your old device, you could restore that to the new device and it will put everything back.
You do sync your device with your computer regularly, correct?????

Apps can be re-downloaded for free (instrutions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Media (musiv, films, tv, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups of your content, especially purchased content. You can try contacting Apple via the Lost or Missing Items under the Music Purchases tab on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/ - but Apple are under no obligation to let you re-download any content (and if they do it may be on a one-off basis, and you might not be able to do so again in the future)

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

Thanks!

Did text from your sister ever show up on your iPhone? If you already read it on your iPad it will not (should not) show as a new text on your iPhone. Once read on one device it will show as being read on all your other devices...

HT1414 I needed to get a new iphone 4s I was told to back up my current phone which I did. however when I restore from the back up none of my contacts or pictures are there

I had to get a new iPhone 4S because my earbud jack never worked. The Apple store told me to backup my phone using iTunes. Today I got the new phone and they told me to bring it home and restore the backup, which I did. However, none of my photos or contacts are there.

Photos taken by the iPhone should be imported onto your computer like you would with any digital camera.
Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager application on your computer or with a cloud service.
Have you not been using your phone as strongly recommended?

When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

Hey Davin12,
Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the iMac less than 3 years ago and it has got one of the defective hard disks, Apple will still replace it for free. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. A Genius will check if your Mac was purchased less than 3 years ago.
If the computer is older, you will have to pay. Note that if you already have the iMac on April 12th, 2013 and before, and you knew that your iMac had a defective hard disk, you should have taken it even if the hard drive was working correctly

Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
