  • What does "restore your iphone" mean?

    so my iphone 5c was really messed up so i went to the apple store and they just game me a new phone. all was fine, until i got home and decided to stop using my iphod and just sync all my music onto my phone. when i went to do this, everything from the last few months was deleted. photos, messages, apps. how do i get this all back? i had a few very important messages that i need back!! i hit "restore my iphone" after i reslised that this had hapened. please i need help!

    That means you have restored it to factory settings, wiping out everything that was on it. If you have a backup of the stuff that was lost, you can restore from that backup.

  • What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

    What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

    That means:
    The battery is dead
    The phone has been turned off
    The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
    The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
    The phone has been wiped.
    The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • HT1222 I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove

    And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

    Hello, my iPad has been disabled, and it says that I need to connect to iTunes. As instructed I connected to the find my iPad/iPhone site to put it on the recovery mode. However, I accidentally erased my account, so please help!!! Also, I browsed a lot to find a solution, but none of them were helpful, sorry. Hopping you could help, thank you.

    However, I accidentally erased my account,
    How did you erase your account?  A lot of people would like to know.  No one has found a way of erasing an Apple id account.

  • I keep getting a message saying this device is not optimised for this iPhone what does this mean?

    I keep getting a message saying this accessory is not optimised for this iPhone, what does this mean? I haven't downloaded anything

    If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

  • Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone?

    Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone? My brother knows exactly what I've been doing on my iphone, playing games, listening to music, whatever and he tells my mom. Is there any apps that can do that? He's also not anywhere near me. He's kinda far away from me and he calls my mom and tells her that I've been doing this and that on my iphone. I was just wondering how he could do that.

    Only if your iPhone has been jailbroken or he has access to your
    Apple ID and password.

  • TS3992 Anytime I try to login into my iCloud a message appears saying "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on the iPhone".what does that mean ?

    Anytime I try to login into my iCloud a message appears saying "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on the iPhone".what does that mean ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer.

  • HT1430 does resetting your iphone wipe out everything on your phone?

    Does resetting your iphone wipe out everything on your phone? My phone shut off tonight and I can't even restart it - it's locked in the off mode.

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down!

    Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down! Anyone has suggestions / info?

    You should shut down all the apps running in the background and then reset your phone.  Double tap the home button to open the multitasking drawer (iOS 6.X) or the multitasking screen (iOS 7.X)  if you are on iOS 6.X press and hold one of the app icons and wait for the icon's to start to jiggle, just like when you want to delete an app.  Tap the little x that appears in the upper corner of the icons.  Repeat until all the icons are gone.
    If you are on iOS 7.X once the multitasking screen is open swipe up on all the app images until they are all closed.  Tap on the home screen to close.
    Then press and hold both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time and wait for the Apple logo to appear then release both buttons.  The phone will restart itself. 
    If this doesn't help try doing a Reset All Settings reset, you will not lose any data or content or media.  But you will have to reset any setting you turned on or off in Settings.  This will reset all settings back to factory default.  Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.

  • What does "Upgrade Your Device" mean for a VZW customer?

    I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did. To me this was a "downgrade." I learned of this "downgrade" after I had the "upgraded" a few weeks. I believe Verizon's use of the term "Upgrade Your Device" is deceptive and a false promise. Verizon representatives refuse to recognize this "upgrade" as a "downgrade." I am stuck with a downgraded phone for more than another year before I can upgrade again without paying the full cost of a phone! So what does "Upgrade Your Device" mean when used on the Webpage of your Verizon Account?

    "I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did."
    The upgrade is that your new phone has a camcorder. Your old phone did not.
    The word upgrade means to me getting a new phone that has features that my old phone didn't have and that i will actually use.
