The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Everything should be on your computer. The iphone simply allows your computers info to be portable.
Have you failed to sync your iphone regularly?
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod ...

I have lost my Iphone and want to know how to activate "find my iPhone"? App on my Air book mac

I want to know how to activate the app "find my iPhone" in this air book mac. I have to app down loaded on this machine as well as my iPhone and havent got a clue how to get it activated through "I Tunes"....Can I get some advice?

First of all, your lost iPhone should had been enabled the 'Find My iPhone' before you lost it. If disabled, then there is nothing you can do to find the lost iPhone.
If your iPhone was enabled in 'Find My iPhone', then click the app 'Find My iPhone' in your airbook mac. It would prompt yuo for an Apple ID and its password. Key-in the Apple ID and password of your lost iPhone. Thereafter, use the Map to locate your iPhone's whereabouts. This function only works when your lost iPhone has been turned on and with either WIFI connection or 3G internet connection. Otherwise, this said app does not work.

I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases?

I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. I originally started using iTunes on my PC so it has everything I have ever purchased or uploaded from my own collection of music.
How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases? Do they do it at the Apple Store or at Best Buy? help!

My brother and i both just bought iphones and want to know how we can both have one itunes account and share our music. our phones are on the same plan and i am paying for the bill. so my question is is this possible?

Yes. It is possible. Just sign in to your Apple ID on both of your iPhones in the App Store.

The light would eventually stop blinking and would be a stand-still green if your iPod is fully charged.

I water damaged my iPhone and want to get my photos back. My iPhone was ios7 but my icloud synced to my work ipad on ios8. Is it now impossible to view any data from ios7 on icloud drive? Any help to get my photos back please!

I damaged my iphone 5s and want to get my photos back. It was submerged in water for a good five minutes (and is now in rice) but I'm pretty sure it's dead.
I really would like to get my photos back. I wasn't plugging in my iphone and backing up, I just assumed it did it automatically because about a week ago I had a message saying automatic backups were stopping as my icloud was full.
My work ipad is running on ios8 (as of a few days ago!) but my iphone was on ios7 as I didnt have enough space to install the update. This means that my icloud is now icloud drive and I cannot view the stuff from my ios7 device without upgrading it to ios8. Trouble is, I cant upgrade it because it's in a rice bowl.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Any idea if I will be able to access my photos on icloud at all? I'm not very hopeful for my phone working again and downloading things that way!
Thanks!

Photos that are in the cloud stay there until they are removed by a device that has the right privileges. If your iPad is logged in with the same AppleID, then doesn't it show the photos from iCloud?
You will only be on iCloud Drive if you expressly chose to upgrade.

Hello Elizabeth,
You want to know how to sync content from your iPod back over to your computer correct? If so, see this article for different possibilities.

Once you have successfully, moved all your content from your iPod back over to your new computer, erase and sync your iPod with iTunes.

I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc

I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc

I too have just purchased a new pc and want to transfer EVERYTHING from my iPhone to the new pc. I am unable to access my old pc for the files. I have been able to transfer what I purchased on my phone but nothing else. Is there anyway to just transfer everything without having to have access to the old pc?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.
