HT1414 Help with restoring a new Phone
I'm restoring my info to a new iPhone using a hardwire to my iMac. My iPhone is asking me to choose a Wi-Fi network, but I have no Wi-Fi at home. The Apple tech used their Wi-Fi in store. What can I do? I'm afraid to shut off the phone...
If you do not have access to wifi, you can try to use the cellular dat connection to activate your iPhone. You can still use the Lightning cable to restore teh backup of your old iPhone onto the new one.

I had a new phone and I clicked some pictures and then I restore my new phone with the old back up and I lost my new clicked photos...please help me how can I get back those photos?
You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?
This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

I have restored my new phone from I cloud but when I connect to my PC to put some music on it asks for set up as new phone or back up from a date from iTunes that is too old. Help it's doing my head in
Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.

I haven't backed my phone up since June 2012, but my phone syncs for a few seconds whenever I would plug it into my computer. However, I have not manually synced it in a very long time. Is there any way to restore my new phone to what was synced the last time I plugged my phone into my computer (apps, music, contacts, pictures, messages, etc.)? Or is that something completely different. The guy at the Verizon store said I could, but the only options I'm getting for restoring the phone are from last year and before. All of the solutions I found on here are not working, and my old phone was stolen, so I can't back it up again. Any information will help! Thank you!
The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
But check iTunes back ups:
Windows
Edit>Preferences>devices
Mac
iTunes>Preferences>devices -
Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.
iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes. -
Hi I recently destroyed my iPhone 4, before replacing it I backed it up through iTunes... I restored my new phone from my old one's backup but not one single picture was copied.. Did I lose all my pictures or are they just hiding on my com?? is there a simple solution??? I thought I was doing everything right by backing up my old one first... now Im scared I lost everything including a lot of very important pictures.. PLEASE HELP!!
Restore from the backup!
You password: You have set it! It might be your passcode or you mioght have set it accidentally, so test all of the passwords you normally use. If you cannot get the password you backup is lost, but you can still sync your iTunes content. -

I would love to go play with one. But I’m currently deployed over sea’s with the Navy right now due to come home back to the states in a few months and I’m looking for a new phone, the one’s in Japan suck and so does the service. Can’t wait for an American phone. I compared both phones on the version website and it shoed the Droid x to support VZ navigator. And it showed the Droid 2 to be expandable to 40 gig. My wife wants the keyboard I personally don’t like the drop down keyboard. Is there any thing else you all can tell me every body has been extremely helpfully. But at this point it looks like I’m going with the droid X and my wife will be getting the Droid 2. What about sound, camera is the touch screen accurate?
Thank you for serving the U.S. Navy!
I hope you do enjoy the new Droid X and your wife enjoys the Droid 2. Remember this....you both have 30 days to try out the phone. If you don't like for whatever reason or something is wrong with it just exchange it. This is nice because you can pretty much test out the phone & see if it meets your needs/wants. Not sure about the sound or camera. For touch screen I have read it is pretty responsive. Have you ever owned a touch screen before? If not it may take a little time to warm up to the touch screen part. Just remember, practice makes perfect for typing on the touch screen and other things. I think the Droid X has swype built into it which makes it easier to type on -
Will you help me activate my new phone?
Will you help me activate my new phone under my correct phone number?
Michelle you are not understanding.
1) What phone do you have?
2) What phone does your daughter have?
3) Are they basic phones?
4) Are they Androids?
5) Are they Apple phones?
Just what devices do you both have? Make and Model numbers, Names of the devices? I am not telling you to call anyone right now!
I said go into a Verizon Wireless Corporate Store. Since you stated you cannot make phone calls.
Borrow a phone and call if necessary. Use a pay phone if there is one available, use a friends or neighbors phone.
We have used these types of communications devices long before cell phones came into use.
If the phones are 4G LTE and both have sim cards in the devices you can swap them out and each phone should work.
I cannot do it for you over the internet with the little to no information you are giving. -

Apple might exchange my iPhone 4 with a "like new" phone.
What the heck is a “like new” phone?
My iPhone 4 is defective, and it’s just 32 days old.
I was told that, if a replacement is indicated, that it’ll be replaced with a “like new” phone.
What exactly is a “like new” phone? How exactly does it differ from a brand-new iPhone that I purchased 32 days ago?Hi all,
I've had three phones now all of which are stated as brand new but there is speculation that
refurb units have a different serial number starting with 5k or 9k - a friend of mine has >this on his replacement after he smashed his screen.
I'm interested that the refurb units have serial # starting 5K or 9K.
Mine is exchanged iPhone 3GS, and its serial # (you can see it in Settings>General>Information>Serial Number) is starting with 5K!!!
Now, I have three questions...:
* do you know how the BRAND NEW iPhone 4's serial # starts?
(I heard Brand New 3GS's serial starts with 88 but I'm not sure...)
* when you exchange your fault iPhone in the Apple Store, can you ask "Hey, I want a brand new one not the rehurb one. Can I check the serial #?"
* the serial number appears in the software screen (Setting menu), and it appears in the black box that contains brand new iPhone that you buy. But how about the brown box that contains the iPhone you get the exchanged one? Can you see / check the serial # too?
I want someone to let me know so kindly.
Thank you! -
I accidentally restored my new phone to an old backup and lost all my new pictures, videos, texts, etc. Is there any way to get them back? I cant find an "undo" option.
Apple isn't here. This is a user to user forum.
If you wish to let Apple know your feelings then post at www.apple.com/feedback

HT201210 how do i do a hard restore as new phone
need to restore as new phone. computer says i must turn off location services through iCloud before i can restore. the problem is that i cannot access iCloud on my phone. have been unable since i updated to ios 7
Either force the phone into recovery mode, as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Or, login to iCloud.com, on your computer, locate the phone, then erase it. -
I just broke my iPhone 5 and can't see the screen. I haven't backed up my iPhone to iCloud yet. Is there a way I can remotely back it up so I can restore my new phone (once I get it) faster?
If you plug your phone into your computer you can sync and backup so that when you get the new phone you can restore from a backup instead of setting it up as a new iphone

Please help! My iphone was stolen so did restore on new phone and LOST!
Hello fellow iphone users! Please help me. I was on vacation, my iphone was stolen. So decided to buy a new iphone wile on vacation. Couldn't sync/restore my info till i got back home to my computer. So while I was still on vacation I continued to use the new phone and take pictures and videos. So when I got home and restored from a previous back up, it erased ALL MY newest/latest video and pics that I had just taken. Does anyone know if there is a way for me to get those new pics/videos back? They were of great value to me and would be an awful way to end my vacation after my phone got stolen. Thank you all in advance for any guidance you can provide.
When there are photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
When you chose to transfer the backup for your iPhone that was stolen to your new iPhone, all data on your new iPhone that is included with the backup (which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll) was replaced by the backup for your iPhone that was stolen. It doesn't merge this data on a new iPhone, it replaces it. Transferring the backup of an existing or former iPhone to a new iPhone is designed to be done as the first step after getting a new iPhone. If not and the iPhone is used for a period of time before doing so, photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as the first step as with any other digital camera before transferring a backup for a previous iPhone to the new iPhone.
The photos/videos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are now gone.

ITunes doesn't want to eject a CD...for a while, anyway.
I burn two music CDs each week (church service CD for shut-ins). A few months ago, I noticed that iTunes (currently v10.5.2) would not eject the CD by using the eject icon beside the title in the side-bar. Nor would the eject key on the keyboard. Sam
