  • I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

    My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

    Absolutely!
    If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

    The Help page you came here from gives you all the information; without the previous owner's password or his removing the phone from his list of devices you cannot proceed and I'm afraid your phone is useless.

  • HT4859 How do I restore my new phone from my old phones icloud backup?

    I have a new iphone 5 and I am trying to restore my old iphone storage from my Iphone 4 I backed it up yesterday. I only will restore from itunes on a previous year old computer backup. Help please...

    To restore from an iCloud backup you have to first erase the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How do you restore a 'new phone' from your previous phone iCloud?

    I got a new iPhone 5 today after smashing the screen on my old one. I needed to use it straight away and wasn't connected to a wifi so i wasn't able to restore using iCloud, I set it up as a 'new phone'. How do I restore it now from my previous phone backup?
    Thanks

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How do I authorize a new computer to my account when all of the other devices have been destroyed?

    I have lost all of my original authorized devices and am trying to install and use a new pc. I can get access to my account, but can not seem to authorize the device. How doI go about this?
    Thank you
    David

    Apple allows you a deauthorize all option once every 12 months.
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    Deauthorize all computers
    After you authorize two computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once a year.
    Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won’t delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won’t be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers. After you deauthorize all, you can easily authorize computers again one by one. Just follow the steps to authorize a Mac or PC.
    Here's when you should deauthorize all your computers:
    If a computer doesn't work anymore
    If you don't have one of your computers
    If you used 5 authorizations and want to authorize a new computer
    To deauthorize all your computers, follow these steps using one of your authorized computers:
    1.Click to open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID), or follow these steps:
         a. Open iTunes and click iTunes Store.
         b. Click Sign In and enter your Apple ID.
         b. Click your Apple ID and select Account.
    2. Click Deauthorize All.
    The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than two authorized computers.

  • HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

    This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account.  First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point).  The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working.  However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear.  Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
    I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that?  Or any other ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup.  Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts.  (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.)  Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup.  If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
    Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
    Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
    Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
    When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

  • Got a new computer, did the home sharing, downloaded all tunes into new laptop but not all of the songs can be played now

    as said above..New laptop, downloaded Itunes.  Home shared, downloaded all tunes into new Itunes butalthough they are there some are greyed out and will not play.  How do i fix this ?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
