HT1766 Itunes want me to restore my phone but I don't know if it was backed-up, HELP!!!
I am having a problem with my iphone... I tried to do the IOS 6 update through itunes and it is now prompting me to restore my phone to original settings and my phone is stuck in recovery mode (with the usb connection/itunes icon displayed on the screen).
This is what happened:
I connected my phone to my mac for the first time toady and it atomatically began to sync with itunes... does that mean my phone has been backed-up???
Itunes also prompted me to update my phone to IOS 6 while connected, so I went through the procedure to update.
While my phone was updating, it suddenly stopped and went into recovery mode with the usb/itunes logo showing on the display. No matter what I do, it is now stuck in recovery mode.
When I went back to itunes, it is now saying that it detects an iphone in recovery mode and that I must restore the phone.
I will retore my phone, but I don't want to loose all of the picture of my kids... were my pictures backed-up while my phone was automatically syncing with itunes? Is there a way to check?
This *****
If you have been regularly syncing it should be. You can double check though..
on windows edit > preferences > devices > look in the box and see the dates and times for device backups
on Mac itunes > preferences > rest is the same

HT201210 I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please
I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please iPhone 4S
Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
You could just update or uninstall the security software on your computer and then test again. -

My mac is a version 10.5.8. I just downloaded ios7, and it is telling me I need to download iTunes 11 to connect to my phone, but I don't have a new enough version. What do I do?! I think snow leopard was the last update I purchased. Is there a way to convert my phone back? I need to be able to update it, but don't have the money for a new computer.. Help!
10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Leopard ran on both PPC and Intel Macs, but Snow Leopard runs only on Intel Macs. iTunes 11 will run on Snow Leopard, though I'm not sure whether iOS7 requires a higher system (Apple seem to specify only itunes 11 and not an OSX system so you may be OK). However if your Mac is a PPC you cannot proceed; if it's an Intel one you can purchase Snow Leopard in the Online Store (search for Snow Leopard to find it quickly) - it's not expensive. It's not possible to roll your phone back to iOS6.

I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?
You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode? -
If someone phones my mobile number, they are prompted to leave a 10-second message which them comes to me as a text. I want real voicemail with real voices but I don't know how to set it up on my iPhone4S. Can someone help please?
Ask your wireless provider. None of what you describe has to do with the phone itself.

Hi, Robert here, I moved to US from Singapore and I would like to switch itunes so I can purchase a book but I don's know how? Please help!
I believe you mean to say that you wish to switch which country's iTunes Store you are accessing. Go to iTunes Store > Change Country (all the way at the bottom) to do this. You'll have to use up all of your iTunes balance to do this. Post back if this is not what you wanted to do.

I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?
THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange because after all the software is perfectly fine.
My phone just turned 2 months old. But in Singapore as long your phone is under one year warranty I can still go for an exchange at the respective telco, but my friends all suggest me to not change now cause after changing it'll be a refurbished set instead of a brand new one.

I have a majority of my music backed on another laptop that i can access, and I had downloaded some music from my brothers itunes library that I can get back. As well as apps, I know i can re-download those for free. It's just the music i downloaded that I'm worried about because I don't know if I can get that back. Please help!
ranmat11, you can only download apps and iBooks at no additional cost. For music and videos you only get one download and it is up to you to back it up. You will be charged again if you redownload music and videos.
