I was using find my iphone on my pc and i accidentally removed the device. I thought that meant just temporarily removing it since it was not able to locate or remote lock or wipe my lost phone. Now how do i put it back on? it appears to have ben permanently taken off the grid and now i cannot continue to try to locate my iphone. The phone did have find my iphone turned on. Can i put it back on>? i dont have the phone obviously its stolen.
At this point you can't do anything. But today, thieves are smart - they know how to combat the Find My iPhone service, so you probably wouldn't find the phone anyway. That service is primarily used for lost devices, less for stolen devices.

The memory on my MAC is full. It holds 4GB of RAM of which 79GB are photos. I would like to back up my photos to an external drive but just do not know how. I do not wish to use time machine. How do I back up my photo library, then delete them from my MAC to free up that 79GB? Thank you.
Hi
Just to clarify a couple of points in your post.
RAM (memory) is different from hard drive space. You have 4GB of RAM, but that has no bearing on the amount of drive space you have, of which we know that 79GB are photos.
If those photos are in iPhoto, you should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library, from the Pictures folder, to your external hard drive. You can just drag and drop. Do not have iPhoto open while you're doing this. Once it's done, you can double-click on the moved iPhoto Library file to associate it with iPhoto, so that the app remembers where the library is for next time.
One more thing. When you move a file to a different location, and then delete the original, you don't have a backup. You still only have one copy. So if that external drive dies, you will lose all your photos. Time Machine is a very good way to prevent this from happening. You should dedicate a different drive for Time Machine backups.

hi, I bought a second hand iphone 4s and seller has blocked it and reset it know the iphone is asking for a email and password that the seller was using, I can't contact him know and i'm left with an Iphone that is useless, can you help ma please?
Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

Hi! I am new to itunes store. I have put 10 songs in my wish list that I want to purchase but can't seem to find a purchase icon. How do I do this?
One song at a time. Open the Wish List, and click on the price for the song.
(Older versions of iTunes had a "Buy All" button to allow purchasing the whole list at once, but that feature is no longer there.) -

i was using iphone4 in england then in pakistan and now the same set in south korea.....but here the sim is not working.....shopkeepers said that it is not factory unlock. but this set is factory unlocked. kindly inform me what to do now to activate the korean sim here.
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -
Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do? Please tell me my photos aren't gone :[
Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.
I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.

apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.
It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account! -

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.
