Have you done this yet, I have the same problem but I need to know if it worked for you without loosing anything
You will not lose anything by changing the AppleID on your iPhone. -
When I set up the icloud I was using my then email address. My email address has now changed.
I tried to access under the old email address to change it to a new email address but I couldn't remember the security questions and as I can't access the old email address, I can't change it. So to solve the problem I set up a new account under the new email address. The only problem is my iphone is still asking for the old email address password which doesn't work.
How do I connect my iphone to the new account as it wont let me delete the old account on the iphone without the password (which as mentioned above doesn't work)?Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -
Hi. I have been having problems with my iphone 4s ios 6.?? heating up alot, draining the battery fast. It goes down to about 20% before half the day is over. I still have 4GB left (from a 64GB iphone) and don't have anything functioning, (other than check my emails occasionally and txt). It is also having problems deleting emails. I push edit, then touch the dot next to the emails so I can select which ones to delete, but then the dots all disappear and the editing function goes away. It just goes back to inbox. So I have got a Nokia Lumia phone to try out until I can try and fix those problems. But I have put the sim in it, and now I have no contacts, notes or photos or anything. I backed up my iphone to my itunes on my laptop last night, because I was told to try and do and backup and restore on my iphone 4s, that maybe that would solve the problem. I can't see how it would stop it heating up. So I backed it up, but didn't restore it as I didn't want to wipe everything off my iphone, and it said I had to update to ios 7 in order to restore it. I have read alot of bad stuff about putting ios 7 on iphone 4s, so I don't want to update it. Is there a way I can go to the backup somewhere on my laptop to find all that information? As I had contacts and notes stored on my iphone that I didn't have written down anywhere else, which I need. Now I don't have them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
what I meant about "dont have anything functioning", I didnt mean the phone isn't working. I meant that I have the phone on standby all day. Just use it to check my emails, & fb messenger, thats about it, yet it still drains the battery. I do sync/backup everything to my itunes, most recently was last night. Can I not retreive it somehow so it can be put on the nokia phone? Or so I can at least see the contacts, notes, photos etc on my laptop (wherever the backup data is)? Then just copy it onto the nokia phone? I have also noticed that even going into my facebook messages, it doesnt have the photos that were sent and received whilst I was using my iphone. I thought at least fb would keep them.
From what I mostly read about updating it, alot of the apps dont properly function with the ios 7, as it is made for the iphone 5. People have written that it slows their phones down alot, and the phones can take minutes to dial a call. I prefer not to take that risk and stuff my phone up. At least at the moment its just overheating, the battery is dying fast, and its not deleting emails sometimes. Hope this is of some help. -
I really dont want to loose these photos. O, and how the **** has this happened?
Sometimes an accidental click somewhere can produce such an abberation. Or a bit of fluff in a mouse, whatever. The main question is are the originals of all those photos residing safely in your iPhoto files? If so, deleting them should not cause problems.
Time Machine, if you have it, can also bring back 'lost' photos and you always have the option of rebuilding.
Incidentally, could you review your profile as there is nothing to tell us what Mac OS and machine you are using. Just Windows. -
My little children Majd entered the wrong passcode for more than 10 times, my iPhone automatically got reset all data was deleted. I managed to retrieve the contacts only but I'm unable to retrieve my SMS's and my photos???? Can you help me please ???
Hi,
Did you ever back up your phone on the computer?
Did you use photo stream at all?
May I suggest changing your passcode lock to a letters and numbers lock (if not all ready it will make your iphone more secure and a restore lock otion shouldent be needed). Then change your setting as well preventing restore after ten incorect passwords.

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!
You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

My cousin's iphone gave it to me but the bad thing is, it has a icloud and i can't access the phone. my cousin is involved to a motorcycle accident and he got a amnesia so he didn't remember anything to this phone. I entered the password so many times so that i can't activate the icloud account. Please, I need to access this phone immediately for emergency purposes. You are my only hope. The phone model is a1429 Verizon (Factory Unlocked). P.S apology for my bad English.

I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -

I have bought a used iPhone 4S now I can't access to iCloud account it shows an apple error 403 what to do
I like to use the iCloud facility in my iPhonehttp://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, get your money back. If they won't do that, or you can't contact them, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock. -
Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer. I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time. I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases. Help?
If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer". -
I just bought a new computer, if I erase and sync my iphone to sync it to my new library, will I lose my apps?
Hey cjacket13,
When you purchase applications on your iOS device, they are tied to your Apple ID so even if you lose them, you can re-download them from your purchase history.
That said, when you first sync your iPhone to your new computer you'll want to transfer purchases from your iOS device to the computer by following these directions here:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
