    But as Carolyn Samit said above, you cannot track the iPhone by IMEI.

  • HT4623 I don't have an update icon under general on the original ipad; how do I update to IOS 4.3?

    I am trying to update to IOS 4.3 or 5 on the 1st ipad.  I went under general but there is not an update icon to push, then I went to itunes and I thought
    I was updating but didn't happen.  I am very frustrated, can anyone help?

    iOS 4 does not have an over-the-air update.
    Scroll down to the "Update your device using iTunes" section of the HT4623 article you attached above.

  • HT1338 my mac is not connected to the internet. How can I update the software?

    I want to update the software of my mac pro but it is not and cannot be connected to the internet. Is there some way to do this?

    Sure, you can download the disc image (.dmg) and zipped (.zip) files onto your PC. Then transfer them to a FAT32 (MSDOS) formatted flash drive that you can then read and copy onto the Mac. Just do not attempt to open either type of file on the PC which can result in corrupting the files once copied onto the Mac.
    Might I ask why you cannot connect the Mac Pro to your internet connection?

  • HT4623 I have a preowned ipad 1, can I update the ios to 6.0?

    I have a preowned ipad 1 and cannot load some apps because itunes is telling me I need ios 6.0 or more. Confused.

    If you are having problems installing Apps (because they are not compatible with iOS 5.x.x) then the following workaround may help...

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in the ibooks? the menu tap bar does not appear at the top of the screen like the new ipad2. Any suggestions?

    If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in ibooks? The menu bar does not pop up like it does on the ipad2. Any suggestions?

    Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

  • HT4623 lost all my pictures and videos while updating ios7.1.1. i dont have backup to restore. how can i recover the data back?

    lost all my pictures and videos while updating ios7.1.1.
    i dont have backup to restore. how can i recover the data back?

    You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
    You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
    If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

  • With a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicmail?

    Using a Sprint iPhone, how can I shorten the number of rings before going to voicemail?

    23 rings? Really. My friends iPhone rings 4 times then goes to voice mail.
    I know on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile the number of rings is set through the carrier. Have you called Sprint?
    Here is the manual, which is also bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone and can be added for free to your iBooks app through the iBookstore: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
