I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).
If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

I got the iPhone 5s this morning and I kept my number and as soon as it charged I got all my messages, but when I connected it to my iCloud and backed it up, when it was finished all the messages I received were gone. How do I get them back?
Hi sofia124,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have either set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or restored from a backup that didn’t have your messages on it. If you do have either an iCloud or iTunes backup that you believe has your messages saved, you can restore from that backup to recover your information. Please use the attached article as a reference for restoring from a backup.
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Have a great day,

Can anyone help. I tried to update my iPhone 4 this morning and it just got half way through the update and froze. I managed to turn it off eventually, but now all it will do is show the apple sign fading in and out and is un usable. It's not even being recognised as plugged into the laptop!!!!!!!

I started the newest update on my iphone4 this morning and did a hard reset before it completed. Now my phone is locked, displaying the itunes and plug-in symbols. How do I get my phone back?
The iPhone is telling you it is in recovery mode. Connect it to your computer and restore in iTunes

iPhone froze, as title stated, please help
You may well have to force the iPhone into recovery mode & restore as a new device. All data on the phone will be erased http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808, however, if you had previously/recently synced with iTunes on the computer you perform the restore as a new device, you can restore from a previous backup.

I had a friend replace the battery in my iphone 4 and now itunes does not recognize it. The phone just has the apple coming on and off on the scree.
I put it into restore mode last night but did not apply it because I would lose all of my data.Any suggestions on what I can do.
Thanks

This is so frustrating! I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded. All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone! GRRRR I hate this
If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I unlocked my phone using sn0w whatever and I have cydia and the only website that was helpful told me to download this hack software but it does not work because I have too high of a firmware on my phone. What do I do?!!
What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim. You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site. By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode.
That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point. -
I went to make a call this morning and all my contacts have disappeareed, how do i get them back? This is my first iphone (4s) and i only just entered them all manually 4 days ago! Please help me!
I entered them directly into my phone. Two days ago, I plugged it into my mac and synced it with itunes, but i didn't sync the contacts and they were still in there after.
