    Why is my iphone 5 not using default ring tone even though it is set for my personal tone in defaults!!

    Hello Rob,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. You may have a contact that has a different ringtone assigned to it. Just navigate to the contact and see what ringtone is assigned to them.
    iPhone: Ringtones
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38610
    Setting Ringtones
    In addition to the default ringtone, you can assign individual ringtones to people in your contacts so that you can tell when a particular person calls.
    Alternatively you can reset all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This would put your iPhone at factory default on everything settings wise and it does not touch the data on the phone

  • When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

    Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

    ... the iCloud backup works best when the iPhone is plugged in, connected to WiFi and locked.
    You should have a good strong robust WiFi connection.

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.

    I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.

  • HT4910 my iPhone is not backing up to iCloud. On iTunes on the computer, i have set it to back-up to iCloud and after each connection to the computer it shows the last time it was backed up, but on the phone itself it shows it hasn't been backed up for we

    My iphone is not backing up to icloud even though on itunes i have set it to back up to icloud. whenever i do a cable connection between my iphone and mac at the end of the exercise it indicates the last time the iphone was backed up i.e. "last back: 9.08a.m. but on the iphone itself it says it hasn't been backed up since March and on icloud there hasn't been any back up because the latest additions to the iphone are not there.
    Periodically i get this message "This iphone has not been backed up ... weeks" I have followed through with all the steps and still no joy. I did however notice that my icloud email account on the iphone is different to the one i have on the computer. It would apear that I am using the two interchanagably but i have been trying to correct this so that i"ll use the same one right through.
    Might this be the problem and how can i resolve it? Pls help

    If this is your first time backing up your phone then yeah it might take several hours. It's definitely something you want to do before you head to bed. So try that but also make sure that your contents that are to be backed up are less than 5GB since iCloud only has 5GB of space. Usually photos are what would take up the most space so check how many photos in terms of GB you have by going into settings->general->usage then look at photos and camera.
    Hope this works!

  • TS4036 My iphone will not back up

    my iphone will not back up
    I have adequate storage
    wifi is connected
    phone is locked etc
    it commences a back up but fails to complete
    it says it has never been backed up
    please help?

    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • HT4859 My iPhone does not back up with iCloud.

    Hi, my iPhone just does not back up with iClouds, even trying manually. Don't know why, tried everithing, it just start the proces and says: "calculating remining time" and stays there forever. Anyone know something about?
    I even upgraded the iCloud back up space (was close to the five gb)
    Even-thought my iPad works perfectly with iCloud using the same account. 
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

  • My iPhone 4 recently broke and I did not back it up to iCloud.  Is it possible to back it up now even though the phone is broken?  I also plan on getting iPhone 5, would my information automatically transfer to the new phone?

    I had a few questions regarding iCloud.  My iPhone 4 recently broke and i didn't realize that I had to manually activate iCloud in order to back up my files, so therefore the information on the iPhone 4 was not backed up.  Is it possible to enable iCloud now and back up the information even though the phone is broken?
    Also, I was thinking about replacing the broken iPhone 4 with the 5, would my information automtically be transferred to the 5 as long as I log-in with my apple ID?
    I would appreciate all the help I can get!!!
    Thanks,
    Jae

    How can I access iCloud through the internet and not through the phone if thats possible?  Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% sure that I didn't back it up.
    Thanks

  • My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks

    My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks. But yet, when I went to iCloud.com all my new contacts were updated, but I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen. When I try to update on my iPhone it says the next backup is too large (I only have my contacts and photos saved to iCloud). I have about 500 photos, and I know people with over 1,000 photos whose phones get backed up with the free 5GB just like me. Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how I can fix this problem so I can backup my photos?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks.
    This seems to be because you don't have enough room, have you been to settings > iCloud > Storage & Back Up > Manage.... and looked up what is taking up the room and how big your next back would be.
    I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen
    Photo Stream isn't one of the features of iCloud.com

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.
