Connect it to your computer, when it shows up under DEVICES in the far left-hand frame click on the name "iPhone" and type in whatever you want it to be called.

  • ...here goes...i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it, and walked away....when i returned it showed i had to open an account, ... my phone was charged, but the problem is it deleted all my pics and my contacts.....  is there

    i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it and was in a hurry and walked away, when i returned the add apple i tunes account information screen was up.....
    my problem is, all my pictures got deleted from my phone, all my contacts got deleted also......weird thing is it put pictures on my phone from another phone and also txt msg from another phone......  has this ever happened to anyone else? if so,....do you know how, or where the pictures got moved to? and if they were deleted, is there a way to pull deleted pictures form a phones memory??   thank you any body that can give me any assistance....i really need it...

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • HT4060 how long do I have to charge my ipad for the first time?

    how long do I have to charge my ipad for the first time?

    Most iPad come wit a 60-70% charge. You can use it immediately and then charge at your convenience.
    FYI
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

    To connect your iPod to wifi just:
         1. Open settings,

         3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
         4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
         5. If  the network has a password then type it in and press join.
    For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
         1. Follow 1-3 above,
         2. Tap other,
         3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
         4. Select the security of the network,

         6. Press Join.
    Some public networks may now show a login screen where you  may have to agree to terms and conditions, enter your email etc...

  • HT4236 if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

    if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

    The transfer of photos from an iPhone to a Mac is an import. It is very similar to what happens when you move photos from any camera to the Mac (if you have ever done that). Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    The iTunes sync can move photos the other direction (Mac to iPhone). That "sync" works the same way each time you do it -- it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes photo page settings. Instructions for that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
