When i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50

when i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50? HELP

If you are running Windows and it stops on the first stage of a sync then my suggestion is to uninstall AppleDeviceSupport version 2.0.1 and re-install 1.5.2.
There are instruction here to do it on Windows 7 (see the first post):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3280228?tstart=0
Those instructions are to fix a different problem, but it fixes the problem with syncing devices stopping on the first stage (backing up the device) too. The AppleDeviceSupport 2.0.1 comes with Quicktime 7.7 and, I believe, the latest Safari version.
I'm running XP, so used the Everything search program (http://www.voidtools.com/download.php) to find the directories with the AppleDeviceSupport installers (they have the extension .msi and the version in the directory name) and right-mouse-buttoned them to do the uninstall and install. Note you need a reboot afterwards. (Actually I just sorted out the service in the Service Manager, but that's a longer explaination and a reboot works fine).
Hope that helps,
John

I did call apple care and they guided me through everything.. they said it was the hardware
I was given this phone last year as a present
i know, it was not new.. so it could have been on an other cell provider i am not sure if it was so at the moment that is all i can do

How can i turn my iphone 4s into an ipod touch, the phone has been deactivated and has been recovered, i also do not have a sim card for the phone... can anyone help me.

HT4972 I need to update my Iphone but I don't know where to begin. The phone is plugged into my computer so where do I go now??? Thanks for your help!!

I need to update my Iphone but I don't know where to begin. The phone is plugged into my computer, but I
don't know what to do after that. Thanks for any help!!

Before updating, import all you photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google, with a supported application such as Outlook or Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then open iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update.

I am having trouble with my iphone5. I finally had SFR after 2 hours or more waiting to switch the service of the sim card. The phone worked finally but after upgrading my itunes, the iphone 5 will not even let me sign in nor give password.

I was so happy to receive my iphone5 today but, happiness turned into frustration. The new sim card was unlocked etc... The phone finally worked after 2 hrs or more and since I upgraded my itunes, the phone is blocked. It will only let me after being turned on unlock the phone. Once I get to ID apple and password, I can put it in but, then it says it has timed out. It also says I cannot connect to the server. What is going on???
I am in France and there is no Apple Store open on Sunday, my phone service is closed as well.
I hope somone can help me asap.
Thanks

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

My iphone 5 was stolen and I think they put their sim card into the phone can i trace it with their wi-fi credit?

So couple days ago my iphone was stolen and i know about my iphone tracker because i've downloaded it and registered my device with it
but obviously the theif will take my sim card out will I be able to track the iphone with their own sim card if they have internet credit on their sim card.

If FindMyiPhone was turned on, you can trace it as you said, the thief cannot turn that off (iOS7). He can not use it. You can send a message and make your iPhone a dead brick, as soon as he iPhone connects to internet. Tell the police where you see it.

HT1766 every time i try to back up my iphone 5 it says there is an error and cant back up ! while my ipad just backs up okay ! what is the reason

How to fix this !

Hello Donnacit,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
"This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available."
This message is displayed when there is not enough storage space available in your iCloud Storage to complete your backup. You can either reduce the amount of data you are backing up under Backup Options, or you can buy more storage.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:

I am incredibly angry right now with the fact that it has taken me 6 hours to try to fix a plug-in problem that Adobe will not discuss with me over the phone when I have photos that must be done TODAY with $4000 on the line to have the job done today.

I have never been so frustrated with a company and their inability to support me as a customer.
Even when I try to ask a question in the forums, it logs me out without ever posting my question- every time.
My PS5 will not allow me to run updates or manually install plug-ins to open CR2 files from a T3i.

SSprengel,
Your post appears as a reply to mine, but none of what you write applies to me.
You are way off base and I resent it. Please forgive the inevitable tone of what follows. No offense meant, I'm just pi$$ed off, that's all.
Let's see:
ssprengel wrote:
CS6 is still sold and supported by Adobe, right? They have released ACR 8.4 for both PS-CC and PS-CS6…
That's plain bull, and it has nothing to do with the OP's predicament. No need for me to go into the limited value of ACR 8.x and higher for CS6 users. Incidentally, the miserly pay received by those poor souls in Pune, Mumbai, or wherever they are in India should allow Adobe to extend their limited, pathetic support by substantially more than a few years
I have been told in no uncertain terms by Adobe and those close to Adobe, that I'm an Adobe former client.
That is patently offensive by the standards of any prudent person. My paid purchase of Photoshop CS6, is not that old. I had been an Adobe customer for very close to 30 years.
ssprengel wrote:
……From Adobe's perspective your $4000 job should allow you to buy new software and a new computer to run it on if your older computer isn't compatible with their new software…
That is unnecessarily condescending, offensive and wrong. $4,000 a month is substantially below half of what I was making before I became permanently disabled in 2005 and had to retire. If $4,000/month is all you're making, I'm sorry for you. That doesn't remotely allow you to project that onto me in a puerile and futile attempt to define me.
However, since 2005 I have not drawn a salary of any kind. Further details are none of your business.
The fact that there are people well off to be ripped off does not justify Adobe's predatory practices in any event.
For your information, Microsoft has been very supportive of my situation regarding my older Macs and has even provided replacement floppy drives for Mac MS Word 5.a (decades old) in the last 12 months and even provided workarounds for a six-year-old Entourage 2008 this current year. I run a number of Macs, including two Mac Pros and two Mac OS 9.2 machines.
ssprengel wrote:
…We pay quite a few thousands of dollars a year to use this software …, and we pay several thousand dollars a year extra because we are not using the current version. We…are willing to pay extra to keep the old version. We rarely call them for any help but that is their policy when their customers don't keep current with things.
MY point exactly.
I'm not in any sort of "problem" myself. I'm in the process of quickly learning and enormously enjoying my Photoshop substitute, the excellent 59€ PhotoLine. I was only expressing solidarity with the OP.

I've downloaded music to my iphone but it says there is no content in music

I don't know why i cant find my music in my iphone. it shows as being in my phone in itunes but is dull, not bright writing. I go to music and it just says no content. Can anyone help me please.

Then something is wrong with the new iPhone 4. Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store of there is one nearby.

I have recently been given a new iPhone 4, I put my old SIM card into the phone. It says I have signal and it is topped up but I still can't send or recieve calls/texts. Any help would be useful please?

I have recently been given an iPhone 4, and I put in my old t-mobile simcard. It says that I have signal but i can't send/recieve calls and texts. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

is the "old" T mobile sim an iPhone micro sim or something else ,
if so that is likely your issue

My iphone keeps coming up with restore needed. when i turn it off and turn back on it says activation required. i have changed sim card, restored the phone and reset everything to factory settings, it is still doing the same thing. whats happening?

help

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Does an iPhone 3G have to have a valid SIM card in it to complete an authorized unlock from AT

Have a 3G now superceded by a 4S. AT&T is the network. Want to unlock the 3G so it can be used in Mongolia.
Requested an unlock from AT&T and it was authorized but when I connect the 3G to iTunes and do a backup and restore I don't get the unlock confirmation. THe SIM card in it is the old AT&T SIM card which is now invalidated because the 4S has the new miniature SIM card.
AT&T support doesn't know if the SIM card in the iPhone when I complete the unlock has to be valid or even if there must be a SIM card in the phone or not.

No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested. I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
6. Take phone to Apple.
