How come my Iphone 4 keeps saying not enough storagespace to take any more pictures and can't get updates yet I keep deleting apps and photos off my phone and my itunes on my computer and yet I feel like I don't have many apps or that many photos?
Check Settings > General > Usage to display what's taking all your space.

After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?
Still no success.
My problem, in part, is that I have 2 iphones. I transferred one to another computer that now syncs with iCloud. The other phone I was updating today on my old computer. It was recognised by iTunes, and automatically synched. Then I updated it to a newer version of iTunes, and lost my contacts on that iPhone. I have trawled to Windows Contacts but to no avail. -
Can I remotely remove Apps from my iphone when not connected to iTunes. I have my apple ID and password. but my iphone is not in same wifi range
Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.
Cheers,

I can not download my iTunes music on to my iPhone. When I try it says "Apple Mobil Device service is not started" ?
I haven't seen this issue, but did run across this article....

I uploaded my photos to my computer. I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone. I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.
Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

Music and apps lost from iphone, Can I download already purchased music from itunes again?
I recently had a problem and apps on my iphone would not open, so I restored my phone to the factory settings and I lost all of my apps and music because I failed to sync them properly, can I download the songs and apps I already purchased on itunes again? how?
Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
For redownloading apps, look here for instructions. For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items and don't have them on another iOS device, you may be out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis.

Old computer can't download new itunes
I have and old iMac and I can't download the new version of itunes and I can't get the shuffle to work on the old version. It comes up under devices and then says to restore it. When it is restored and the computer restarts it doesn't come back up on itunes. Any suggestions???

No, they don't want to force you to do anything. If you want to stay with a 4 and a half year old OS you are free to do so. Just be careful when you buy any hardware or software to read the minimum requirements and make sure they will work with your computer. If they won't then don't buy them. There are still people out there using OS 9.x.x. They don't write here asking why they can't buy and use an iPhone.
I am fed up of hearing this, for some software it is true - Apple does good by pushing forward and leaving old hardware or old software behind and helps advance technology faster by cutting loose ties with the the things holding it back.
However don't go kidding yourself that this is a technologically limiting situation, this is Apples agenda, a purely superficial limitation - no of course they have no obligation to keep the software that manages ipods working on a 4 year old system, but it will **** off alot of consumers and takes little effort to keep at least the features relevant to syncing new ipods of iTunes 10 backward compatible to a reasonable extent - OS 10.4 is not a million miles different to OS 10.5... iTunes 10 works on windows XP which is 4 years older than OS 10.4 , is a completely different OS and requires much more work to get all of the features working.
The decision of cycling out 10.4 support for new ipods is hardley a technical one.
My sister has been caught in this situation... having been bought a new £40 ipod shuffle her ppc mac which runs 10.4 cannot sync the device, Apple don't sell OS 10.5 anymore and the cheapest on amazon is £125
For someone who buys or is given a £40 device - do you really think they are going to have the latest and greatest mac? or be willing to spend 3 times the price of the device to make their computer compatible?
I suggested that my sister use another family members older pc from the 90's that uses windows XP to sync her iPod instead - all they are doing to people with older macs is forcing them away, don't assume everyone with a mac is stinking rich - one of the top 3 things most mac users say as a reason for buying mac is their longevity (from both a hardware and software point of view) - it's difficult to justify that longevity when apple want to ignore every model and OS they release that is not current. -
HT5625 A family member gave me her old iPhone
A family member gave me her old iPhone. I changed it to my AT&T service. HOWEVER, when I text people, it still shows HER name and not mine. How do I update this so MY name appears as the sender?
Thanks Chris.
I did change to my own cell number (with AT&T).
I am not sure whether I restored and activated under MY name/Apple ID. (Out of convenience I have probably maintained HER Apple ID since I know the password.)
When I text people her name shows up and people don't realize it is me. (I don't know what appears with phone use.)
Thanks for your help here.

I bought a new computer, and downloaded iTunes, therefore the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!
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 iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then 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 seeRecover 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.

I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to my old phone?
Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first. -
My daughter gave me her old iPhone 3G. I started loading my own info before doing a complete "Reset". My iMac at home now give me a message that it is time to Sync 432 Contacts. They happen to be my daughters contacts. The window has no Cancel or Delete option. How do I get rid of or stop the Sync other than let it go and then start deleting them? Help! Ron
or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling -
My husband has paired his phone using the remote app to the apple TV- I would like to do the same with my phone. Can we pair more than one phone to the tv using the remote app ?
Yes I believe so. Try it and see you can always delete the Apple TV from a remote if it messes things up.
But we have three remotes setup to do this. My iPhone and iPad and my wifes iPhone. She has a different iTunes logon but it seems to work fine -

Husband gave me his ipod and now I want to put my songs on it.
My old iPod was stolen, so husband gave me his. His was under separate iTunes and my iTunes has different songs. How do I put my songs on this new/old iPod?
Thanks for any help.When you connect the iPod to your iTunes library, you should see a message appear telling you that the iPod is associated with another library and asking you if you want to erase the contents of the iPod and synchronize with the new iTunes (i.e. your iTunes library).
Clicking "yes" to this message will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace it with the contents of your iTunes library. Thereafter you can sync the iPod as normal.
That's all there is to it.
