If your iPhone is truly unlocked - purchased as unlocked through Apple
or through wireless provider that sells unlocked iPhones or unlocked
by a wireless provider, then the update should not mess up your iPhone.
If your iPhone was jailbroken or hacked to change wireless providers,
then the update will relock it to the original wireless provider if you are lucky
or turn it into a useless brick if unlucky.
Back up first to protect against glitches or other problems.

IPod and iTunes say there are two apps that need to be updated but when I click into it it says all apps are up to date. Has anyone else had this issue??? And is there anything I can do to fix it??

iPod says two updates but says all apps are up to date

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

You can backup only your settings, messages, recent calls, apps and Camera Roll in your new iTunes.
Your photo albums and music has to be on your computer to sync them back to your iPhone.

I have a similar problem and have had this before.
I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again...

Gift cards are country specific. You cannot use them in another country.

HT6058 Hello I have a iPhone 4 that's never been updated and I see there are three available, Should I just go with the most recent update ?

Hello I have a iPhone 4 that's never been updated and I see there are three available, Should I just go with the most recent update ?

You don't get a choice. If you decide to update, your phone will be updated to the latest iOS version available for your phone. For you, that's iOS 7.0.4.
Make sure you follow the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4972
The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal.

Connect to iTunes & hit the restore button on the Summary Pane. This will restore as a new device. Eject when finished.

HT4972 I have a new computer and a old iphone 4 that hasn't been updated in a long time. I logged into itunes on my new computer and plugged in my phone and there is no option to sync. ;( suggestions?

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

Hi folks, just yesterday i can restore my iphone 4 that have a problem when i restore from itunes, when i do the restore from itnes, always showed me the following error:
01:41:37.0017] Depth:0 Error:AMRestorePerformRestoreModeRestoreWithError failed with error: -1
[01:41:37.0017]    Depth:1 Error:The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg)

[01:41:37.0017]           - kBBUReturnTimedOut(8)/16: Pinging timed out
what I did was this: just when I will finish the process, when the status bar is at the end in the firmware, only put the sim card and go back to take out, I do this like 4 or 5 times and the process restoration ends so well. This method I tried it 2 times and 2 times worked. I spent like 10 hours trying to restore iphone without results, until I started watching the logs and the key is when you are upgrading the firmware sends a command to answer yes. And I hope this helps.
This is the line of the log that appears and when the restoration is correct:
amai: AMAuthInstallBasebandHandleUpdaterStatus: commandAccepted: YES
Regards.

I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
thanks

The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.
(100% Accurate - done mine 2 weeks before christmas due to original 5 sleep button stopped working)

Issue solved

My ipod needs to be restored but it only stays on the "connect to itunes" for approximately 20 seconds and then turns black as if it is turned off.

So a couple of months ago, I had to restore my new IPOD 5 TOUCH because i had forgotten the password and disabled it, so as you can imagine I am quite familiar with restoring it.
(The last time I had synced it was the only time that I had to restore it when I first got it when I had disabled it)
This morning I wanted to sync my ipod. So I plugged my ipod into my WINDOWS computer and waited for itunes to open, and it did just like it is supposed to. It then said itunes needed the latest update so i continued with updating it. Itunes updated, but then said that my ipod needed the latest software. I said "ok update" and thats when itunes made my ipod into DFU mode without me even touching it.
SOOOO as you can imagine I was quite upset. I then have realized that because Itunes had moved it into DFU mode on its own, I could not manually get my ipod out of DFU mode so the only thing i was left to do was go ahead and restore it. (correct me if Im wrong)
My huge issue right now is that my ipod NEEDS to be restored, but it only stays on the "connect to itunes" screen for approximatley 20 seconds and then turns black as if it has been turned off. When I plug it into my computer and turn it on to the "connect to itunes" mode, it does open it in itunes and starts "extracting sofftware" but then when it turns black after 20 seconds, it closes out because my computer thinks it has turned off.
I have tried charging it, and nothing has progressed. Im not sure if anything can be done for it right now, or if I could bring it to an apple store to fix it... it's brand new about 3 months old.
HELP and some advice would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT204150 I have 3 iphones connected to one icloud account. But for some reason all the contacts are in everyone's phone. How do I change it so that the phones only have their contacts?

I ahve 3 Phones that are synced to one Icloud account. However, the contacts have been merged by accident. How do I unmerge it?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you cannot unmerge your data, you will have to separate it manually once you have created and logged into your own iCloud accounts for each user. It is using the same iCloud account that has caused your data to become merged.

I have apps that need to be updated, but the only way I can do it is with my computer

I am in Afghanistan, the free wifi spot is too slow or the files are too big to update on my iphone4s. I can connect to the internet and sync my phone without any issues. I can see all my apps with itunes, but there is no place or button that i have seen that says to update my apps. the only option it gives me is to remove the app, which I obviously don't want to do.
How do I get the app updates with my computer without dumping the apps?

On your computer, iTunes...left sidebar...if not visible, go to view, show sidebar...click the "Apps" tab under library, then updates, right-click the app/apps you want to update, then update. Or, update all if you like. Then, sync your phone.
