Help. I need very important pictures off my I phone for a lawsuit but the email linked to her i cloud said its been recycled??? please help!!
My daughters phone is totally broke and doesn't turn on and the e-mail linked to the I Cloud is recycled es that mean and please tell me there is still a way of recovering them??
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How to I get my Mac to stop deleting the pictures off of my phone that I sync to the computer?
When I first uploaded pictures to my Mac from my iPhone, it asked me if I wanted it to delete the pictures off of my phone as they uploaded, and I said yes.Now, every time I upload pictures, all the pictures from my phone get deleted as they sync onto the computer. I cannot figure out how to stop this and IPhoto does not give me the option to change it. I want to be able to sync the photos to my computer without them being deleted from my phonee. Can anyone help me?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -
Basically headline says it all, my phone is in recovery mode following a failed update through the phone and I want all my photos back. I have already read the "iOS: Unable to Update or Restore" and it indicates that when restoring through iTunes, you lose all data on the phone. I have checked my iCloud (I am a Windows7 user so uploading does not happen automatically, as I unfortunately just figured out) and it only will upload my past 30 days of photos and contacts, inline with what I've read about the cloud only storing 30 days of your past data. I really would like to get all of my photos off of my phone, I had photostream activated and most were in that stream. Is there anything I can do? I don't know what operating system is on there currently, but I have always updated my phone succesfully until today when this happened, so I'm assuming whatever is most up to date until today is the OS it has. Thank you!
When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed. The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.
You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet". This is Apple's technical support forum. We do know what we're talking about.
since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them? This is how the phone is meant to be used. Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish. Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update? As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson. BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer? I'm sure you have important data on your computer. Hard drives WILL fail. -
I need to reset my password but the email linked t...
Hi
I'm currently able to sign into Skype using my Microsoft account details. However Skype will not let me change any of my account settings without my Skype password (which is different to my Microsoft account details). I need to update the email associated with my Skype account as it is defunct. Howwver, I cant change it without remebering my password and I cant reset my password because Skype keeps using the defunct email address. Arrrgh!
Is there another way to change my Skype password?

I am trying to download iOS to my iphone. Don't have software update showing after I tap general under settings. What do I do?
Hello kcmercier,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to update your iPhone but do not see Software Update as an option. The ability to update iOS over Wi-Fi was introduced in iOS 5; it sounds like the iPhone you are currently using may be on iOS 4 or earlier. You can update your iPhone; however, using iTunes on a computer. Please follow the instructions in the Update your device using iTunes section of the attached article to complete this process.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
Please! I need an answer fast!!!!Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Mac deleted all of my pictures off of iPhoto, and won't let me import pictures off of iPhone
I went to look at my pictures in iPhoto and it says "to get started with iPhoto, do any of the following". I've imported pictures off of my iPhone many times and have looked at them in iPhoto numerous times, but now they're all gone. Then I tried to import pictures off of my iPhone and it says that an error has occurred when importing a picture.
How do you do that?
One of two ways:
1 - launch iMovie and connect your iPhone. The iPhone movies will be displayed in a window so you can select and import the one you want.
2 - connect you iPhone to your Mac and launch Image Capture. Select the movie you want and import to the location of your choice (for movies the Movies folder) and import from there into iMovie.

I have an iphone 4. How do I get pictures off of my phone, and into my computer, to make more space on my phone. I want to send to my dell computer. When I tried syncing phontos on my phone before, all of the pictures on my computer went into my phone taking up my data space. I jsut want the pictures that I select to go to the computer. help!
The only pics that can be imported to your computer are pics in your camera roll, & you don't use iTunes for that. Read here:

yesterday i plugged my new Iphone in to my laptop and connected it up with Itunes. Itunes then deleted all my pictures off my new phone and reset my new phone with all the settings of my old phone! how do i get my pictures back????? Before you say Icloud they are not on there
Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.

I just downloaded pictures off of a flash drive, and half of the pictures are messed up?
I just downloaded pictures off of my flash drive and half of the picture comes out really oddly.... Example:
Does anyone know what is causing this?Yes, forgetting the pictures, you desktop background is showing these color issues?
You need to contact Apple for diagnostic / repair. You have a hardware issue with the logic board or logic feeder cable to monitor (unlikely the monitor itself).
You just bought it and its a Retina macbook Pro correct? Never dropped or any water spills?
I was hoping that wasnt it until you said that.
while you STILL CAN see everything (even if off color) backup up ALL VITAL DATA to an external mem stick or hard drive. Documents, pics, working files, etc etc -
Can i delete the pictures off of my phone since they are going up to the cloud anyway
Can I go ahaed and delete the pictures off of my phone since they are uploaded to the cloud and google?
If all the photos you need are in the cloud, yes you can delete them. But do not delete the photos in Photo Stream as theses are the cloud's photos.

I am on OS X and i am having problems sending pictures from the new pictures app via email. when i hit the sharing button i have the option to send via iMessage or Facebook but the email option is ghosted and can't be checked off. any suggestions?
I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

My iPod touch was stolen and recovered. I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate
If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.
