HT204053 I purchased my iphone 4s in UAE and I do not have Facetime on it. Now I am in US and is it possible to have facetime in my phone by reinstalling the IOS?
Hi all,
I am new to this Community - please forgive me if the same question has been already asked and answered as well.
I purchased my iphone in Dubai and I did not have Facetime on it. Now I am in US and would like to know if it is possible to get Facetime in this iPhone 4s, by reinstalling the IOS and also changing the Service Provider?
Thanks for your answers.

Thank you very much Stevejobsfan0123. That solved one issue.
1. Now, if I buy an iPhone 5 in USA and take it to UAE, will FT work there?
2. If Yes, can I use any local (UAE) simcard, still to get FT?
3. If No, can I use my US Service Provider Sim to get FT working in UAE?
Sorry for asking too many questions.
Thanks again in advance.

I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc. -
After installing the latest version of IOS my iPhone 4s rapidly runs out of power, it also suddently (fully charged) shuts down and restarts without me asking for it. I tried to reinstall the latest version of IOS but it doesnt help. Any advice?
Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?
I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

You don't. Facetime is not available on UAE iPhones, regardless of where activated or used.

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Help!: The iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make
Help!
I synced my iphone4 to a window PC before i get a mac recently.
So, when i try to sync my iphone 4 to mac.
I was told that "the iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes".
1. i clicked store> authorize this computer. =failed.
2. restart mac. =failed.
3. reinstalled itunes. = failed.
4. restored iphone4. =failed.
Then,
I do logged in as admin.
I changed all the related folders' sharing/permissions to "read & write" for admin, me and everyone.
But still cannot be snyced for the music and photos.
I hopes that i can get the answer. Thanks.
So, what else can i do?
is there any solution?other threads have users reporting the same issue. I have a 4s which has been running fine and just this morning has come up with the same error. I suspect some permissioning issue on the phone (just a hunch)

I get my iPhone 5 from UAE AND no one inform me that no FaceTime there and I am living in lebanon I am lebanese so who will except my iPhone 5 here in Lebanon with out FaceTime I lost my money in this and Mac should replace our iPhone pls
Why you bought from the UAE .
The phone has NO international warranty and its the UAE and Saudia Arabian authorities that have instructed the function (facetime) to be removed not Apple.
Your best option is to return it to Dubai when next there.
OR contact these companies and see if you can trade to a Facetime friendly model from Europe

My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.
You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

Hi, My name is Bheki Yende
I'm experiencing a problem with an app I've just purchased from iTunes, I have tried every piece of advice from the "iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store" and still nothing is working. I would like to get my refund on this pls.
This is an inconvenience, I don't understand why I have to contact the developer for a faulty product in your store.
I've paid iTunes to get this, so iTunes must fix this problem for me or give my money back.
ThanksThis is a user forum, you are not speaking to Apple here.
You will need to contact iTunes support here, regarding this issue. They will usually respond within 24 hours.
