How can I wifi synch my iphone if my pc is hardwired to the internet on the same network?
I have ios5 running on my iPhone 4 and it says it can sync with my pc when my pc is available. My pc is connected to the router via cable but it is on the same network.
Any suggestions?

You can't. It has to be on and able to connect to a network or it can't transmit its location.

How can I put back my iPhone as a device in View My Account iTunes in the Cloud Manage Devices?

I went into this list and noticed that I had my old iPhone 3Gs and my new iPhone 5s listed as devices. I also had 2 PC's listed. So there were 4 devices associated wih my Apple ID. Here is a little background. When setting up my new phone, I had mistakenly given the new phone the identical name as my old iPhone 3GS, then realized that was a mistake because it would be hard to differentiate between the 2 phones in lists (for example: Restore backup lists is a very good example). So I changed the name of my new phone so it would be different.
My old phone was called Bruce's iPhone and my new iPhone was called Bruce's 5s. Even though I had changed the name of my new phone, the list of devices under View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Manage Devices had the 2 phones still listed with the same name, Bruce's iPhone. I was able to tell the difference by the date the devices were established, but I did not like that.
So I used the 'Remove' button and deleted the listing for the newer listing of Bruce's iPhone. Now, no matter what I try I can not get that new name and that device to get back on the list. There are now 3 devices only.
Since I did this, I have developed the issue where when I sync, the system hangs on Step 7 of the Sync, "Waiting for changes to be applied". I stopped it after 3+ hours. Then I restored my most recent backup (to the Cloud) and the next Sync worked. I have no idea if the above action on my part is in any way connected to my developing the syncing issue.
Does anyone know how I can get that device, my new iPhone 5s, called Bruce's 5s back on this list of devices? I seem to be able to do all the actions I want to with the devicer and my Apple ID. But the coincidence of the above change that I ran into didn't make me smile either.
Thanks in advance for any input/help?
Bruce - obviously

Is this your issue > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How can I locate a lost iphone 4 verizon?

If you activated Find My iPhone, then log into www.icloud.com and you can try to track your device. If you did not activate Find My iPhone, you cannot track it. Also, if the device has been turned off, not connected to wifi, it cannot be traced either, and will show up offline in iCloud.

HT1976 How can I find my lost iPhone 4

How can I find my lost iPhone 4

One way is through the Find My Phone application but provided that:-
1) the iPhone is connected to the internet (be it by way of Wifi OR data); and
2) you have previously activated the feature.
Then again, even if the above conditions are true, you will most probably only get the rough location of the phone and not the "exact" location of it.For instance, if the iPhone is in a high rise building with 60 floors, you will only know it is in the building but never which floor it is.
Unless you are carrying your laptop all around, activating the Siren would assist you in finding your iPhone.
Good luck (Taken style)

How can my wife access all of our itunes music if she signs up for iTunes match, but her apple id is different than mine?

How can my wife access all of our iTunes music, even if she subscribes to iTunes Match, if her Apple ID is different than mine?

I do subscribe to iTunes Match.....and the music i am referring to is all of our downloaded albums and songs that are currently in iTunes and in the "cloud" on my iPhone and my iPad.
So if she uses my Apple ID for her iPhone, she can sign up for iTunes Match on my account? Will any of my apps then transfer to her phone? Or just the iTunes "data"?

How can I enable synch without losing my apps?

Hello,
I read the forums and I cannot find a solution to my unique situation.
I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and synced apps and music with iTunes and everything was mostly great. The only problem was the slowness of iTunes so I started using MediaMonkey instead to transfer music. I also downloaded apps exclusively through wifi, so I never bothered to sync my iPod with iTunes for months. Then I upgraded the harddrive, did a clean install of Windows, and sold my old harddrive. It was not possible to sync my iPod anymore and I didn't care because MediaMonkey/Wifi worked perfectly for my needs ...
Until I installed firmware 3.1! Now MediaMonkey crashes and I can't add/remove songs from my iPod. So I was going to wipe my iPod and give the new version of iTunes another try, but now I am worried about losing all the apps I've downloaded over wifi. I've logged into iTunes and I cannot find a record of apps that I have downloaded/purchased. *Which brings me to my question: How can I enable synch without losing my apps?* I'm particularly worried about the apps that were free when I got them but they now cost money.
Thank you for your time,
bougatsa

The "File -> Transfer Purchases" option didnt work at first, but then I clicked around and managed to get this new computer image added to the new Home Sharing feature. Now all my iPod apps have been transferred to my local iTunes apps folder, thank you Julian!
And Anna, thank you (tack?), I believe you that it works but now that I have my apps locally I won't try I'm sure you'll understand.
I had bad thoughts of ditching my iPod for something else but I won't now! This forum rocks! Thank you all again

How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account. Note: The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
