How do I back up my basic phone when I already activated my new smart phone?
I recently got an iPhone as a surprised (they activated it and everything) I never got the chance to back up the photos and the saved messages on my basic phone. How do I back it up even though its not "active"
This may work. Hook a cable from the device to your computer.
It will or should show as another drive letter on the computer.
Access the photos on the phone and copy and past to a folder you create on the desktop.
After you have them, simply hook the iPhone cable up to your iTunes.
Then sync photos, search the desktop for the pictures. The they will be on your iPhone.
It sounds difficult but it really is easy.
If you had the photos on a SD card on the basic phone use an adapter which can be purchased at any computer shop and get the photos that way.

how i can back up my i phone ore restore back up if it keeps to say password is wrong. i tried every possible psw ds does not work. now i want to change the password it wants old pswd and i do not know it. what can i do?
Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?
Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

The 6.1.4 update had nothing to do with this. If it did, then every iPhone with 6.1.4 installed would have the same problem.
Apple doesn't support downgrading the firmware, which won't change anything.
If an Apple Store is miles away, then call AppleCare. -
I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it download in settings.
I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh. -

HT4859 How do i retrieve pictures on a device when deleted already?
How do i retrieve pictures on a device when deleted already?
If they're deleted on the device yuo want to retrieve them from, and you had Photo Stream turned on, then you should be able to get them from another device or computer. Also, it's recommended that photos be synced to a computer frequently (if you take a lot of shots) via USB. The final method is to reset the device and perform a restore. This assumes the photos were in the camera roll. However many users have had problems retrieving photos via a restore. I'd say, if you didn't sync the pics to a computer or don't have Photo Stream active, then the pics are gone.

How do I back up my iPhone 5s when iTunes doesn't recognize my phone?
I haven't backed up my iPhone 5s for a couple of months and I received a message that my data exceeds iCloud storage. The other day I connected my phone to my iMac and pulled up iTunes and a screen popped up asking me if this was a new phone! I'm afraid to proceed because I'm guessing I will lose all of my "Notes" and pictures that exceeded the storage limit on iCloud. Any suggestions as to how I can back up my phone and not lose information stored on my phone?
One more note, I haven't been able to update to the lates IOS version 7.1 because it needs 2.5GB of storage and I want to back up before I make space available.
Thank you so much!!DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then readhttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). -
How do I switch from a basic phone to a smart phone on the single line plan?
I currently have a basic phone on a basic phone plan. My contract expired ages ago, so I'm just month to month at the moment. I want to upgrade my phone to an iPhone 5c, and my plan to the single line plan--unlimited talk and text, 1GB of data. However, when I try to place this order online, it defaults automatically to the More Everything plans, which would end up costing me about $20 more than the single line plan for the same amount of data. I can't seem to change it to the single line plan. How on earth do I make the switch? O.o
Go into a Verizon Wireless Corporate Store and do it there.
