  • HT1369 HOW DO I TAKE MY IPHONE OUT OF RECOVERY MODE?

    May I have specific instructions on how to do so? My iPhone stopped in mid updated and went into recovery mode.

    You could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and hope that it starts as usual, but if it shows the "Connect to iTunes" screen, there is something wrong with the software and you'll need to restore the device.
    At that point you can't back up the phone anymore, sorry.
    If the phone is not recognized by iTunes, connect in recovery mode, explained here:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

    How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
    Any ideas or solutions?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
    Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

  • How can I take my iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and the power button is broken?

    How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

    Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

    my lost iphone is still offline and erasing not started yet and i want to cancel this request!

    You can't, but after the erasure the activation lock will still be in place, so the device will be useless for anyone not knowing your apple-id and password.

  • Will notifications and messages pop up if iphone is on lost mode?

    My iphone was stolen and to protect my identity and everyone else I need to know if notifications, messeages, facebook messages etc... show up on the main screen if iphone is in lost mode?

    AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode. 
    However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
    YOu do have a backup right?

  • Do regular notifications appear, if iPhone is in Lost Mode?

    Recently, somebody stole my iPhone.
    If my iPhone is in "Lost mode", do regular incoming notifications (such as new e-mails, reminders, Facebook messages etc.) appear on the lockscreen?
    The model of my phone is iPhone 5, and it's running iOS 7.1

    So once you go to iCloud and turn on Find My iPhone, your phone always has PW lock activated and there's no way to change that short of deactivating Find My iPhone.

  • How can i get my iphone, from the disable mode

    how can i get my iphone 3gs, out of the disable mode?

    If your phone is disabled because you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • How do i find my iphone 5c if lost

    how do i find my iphone 5cif lost

    If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    1. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone, iPad Restrictions Passcode
        If this method does not work, then you will need to fully Restore your
        device as New
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If none of the above do what you need, then do the following:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Can I keep track of the location of my lost iPhone using the lost mode in Find My iPhone even after the sim is removed?

    My iPhone 5 is stolen, but luckily I had Find My iPhone enabled on iOS 7. The device is currently online(cellular is on) but location services are off. Is there any way to track its location.
    Furthermore, if I turn on the lost mode and the thief turns off cellular data, would I be able to keep track its location?

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
