HT1414 i had hooked my iphone4s up to itunes, i didnt read it correctly and chose to sync it with my old iphone, which is the 3g. how do i put my new iphone back to how it was before. i dont have none of my old photos or text from my iphone 4s. HELP

I had hooked my new iphone 4s up to itunes. I did not read what they were asking correctly, which was to "set up as a new iphone": or "restore backup." i choose restore backup, and now it looks like my iphone 3g. I lost all my photos from my iphone 4s, text messages, bookmarks, notes, emails, basically everything important. So i want to know how to put it back to normal, how it was on my iphone 4s. Please help, i lost alot of information.

If you haven't synced again since this happened you may still be able to restore from the backup that was created at the start of the sync process. First, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab look at the list of backups and identify if your backup prior to this happening still exists. You can hover your mouse over the name of the backup to reveal the IMEI, phone number and serial number of the phone that was backed up, allowing you to identify which one is your 4S backup. If the backup exists, do the following:
Without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer. When it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup, selecting the backup you identified earlier to restore from.
When the restore completes you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.
This won't restore everything as certain data such as contacts and all iTunes media isn't included in the backup but at least you'll be able to get much of it back.

Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have a technical support question?

How do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.

how do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.
i know there is a classic theme addon for windows but i need a fix for osx...its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and cant be customized back to the way we are used to using the browser. its counter intuitive to have the refresh page button so far away from the back and home buttons.

Is Classic Theme Restorer only for Windows? I thought it worked on Mac, too. Some of the pre-selected interface items like the Application Button may match old Windows versions and you may need to deselect those in its Settings dialog.
To access that dialog, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, the on the right side, look for the Options button below Classic Theme Restorer.

I need to revert my timeline back to where it was before it was saved. I made a compound clip and then trimmed it and exported it and then shut down fcp. So, when I opened it back up there was only the compound clip. Can someone help me and tell me how?

Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this?

I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

Hi..
You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Re- sync the phone with the computer it was originally synced with.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was before.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was
before.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to save the all contacts in Outlook, please follow these steps: -
By default, when you double-click on a contact in Outlook, the new
Contact Card displays for that contact. The Contact Card does not contain all the fields from the full contact editing window that opens when you create a new contact.
The
Contact Card also displays by default when you search for a contact. You can still open the full contact editing window when editing a contact or when searching for a contact. To switch to your
Contact folder, click the People link at the bottom of the
Outlook window or press Ctrl+3.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

Every time I connect my IPhone 5s to the computer it comes up as a new phone, even know I have synced it to the computer before

Every time I connect my IPhone 5s to the computer it comes up as a new phone ,even know I have synced it to the computer before and it worked fine

I would try 2 things. First, I would de-authorise the computer, then authorise it again. If that doesn't work, then second, you could try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling.

I have IPhone 4S in cold -7 off and says that there is no charge ... come home I try to include all of a sudden turn! Charge as it was before the spree, what to do?

That's too cold.
Apple designed this diagram of ideal temperature for the Iphone:
Everything below 32ºF/0ºC is too cold and the device's battery is not going to work as espected.

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

My i phone 4 got locked by my small sister plus my laptop was formatted i dont have itunes back up to unlock thei phone what should i do i am puzzeled?? i tried passcode it says i phone is disabled .. some one help please

My i phone 4 got locked by my small sister plus my laptop was formatted i dont have itunes back up to unlock thei phone what should i do i am puzzeled?? i tried passcode it says i phone is disabled .. some one help please

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/20025416 - "A restore erases the iPod. If you restore from backup the iPod will be like it was IF the iTunes library includeds [sic] all the synced media like apps and music since those are not included in the backup.")
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:

How to import photos to iphoto from an iPhone?

I have an iphoto software (on my MacBook Pro).
Before I upgraded to the latest version of iphone 4S operating system I was able to backup my photos to iphoto.
Now I believe they are updated somewhere on icloud (which I don't know how to use yet and it says it's out of storage all the time)
I do wanna my photos to upload on the my mac and delete from the iphone via iphoto.
Any idea how to do it? Is it possible at all or do I need go to icloud - when copy my photos to computer from icloud and then delete them manually?
And afterwards to switch something (I don't know what in settings) if I don't wanna my pics to be uploaded to icloud in future. Or how do I do both - icloud and iphoto?
Thanks in advance, hope u understand my question.

What I wanted to add - when I plug the cable of an iphone into my mac - I don't see any photos to import anymore. In previous version version I saw picture frames or thumbnails.
And now I don't see them anymore. This is what prevents me from importing the pictures I suppose
