HT4623 IF YOU DO THIS UPDATE YOU LOOSE YOUR CONTACTS AND PHOTOS FROM YOUR PHONE

my iphone needs to be upgraded im still running on 4.2.1 but i dont want to looose my pics and my contacts  pls im kind of out of shape in this kind of stuff

Connect to your computer you normally use itunes with, right click on your phones name, and click backup. once you have done that, disconnect your phone, and reconnect it, then click check for updates under the info tab, then click update. You dont lose your info, but you have a backup just in case.

    I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list.  I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

    After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

  • My family shares an account.  How do I switch my iphone to my new Apple ID without loosing all of my contacts and contents from the phone?

    I just purchased an ipad and created a new Apple ID.  My phone currently shares an apple ID that the whole family uses.  What is the best/easiest way to switch my iphone 4S to my new ID without loosing everything in my phone?  I want to streamline my own stuff...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  Are you trying to change your Apple ID for all services (iCloud, iMessage, store purchases, etc.)?  You can safely use a different Apple ID for all these things without jeopardizing your contacts/photos etc.  If you want to change your iCloud account you would need to turn off syncing for contacts and calendars and when prompted, choose to keep your data on your phone (rather than delete it).  Then you can go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then you can set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. again.  To change your iMessage Apple ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your alternate ID.
    Where you will run into problems, however, is if you sync to a new iTunes library.  If you have already synced to one library and try to sync to a new one, iTunes will erase all iTunes content and replace it with the content in the new iTunes library.  Let me know if that's what you are trying to do.

  • Using iCloud with an iPad, a PC and a Samsung Omnia II phone stripped all contacts and calendar from my phone. How can I fix this?

    I activatediCloud on my iPad2 and synced to my Sony Vaio PC using ( calendar & contacts in Outlook). Then when I synced my Samsung Omnia II to my PC, all my contacts and calendar were stripped from my phone. Can somebody help me:
    1) recover my information to the phone and
    2) learn a reasonable way of syncing email & contacts between these three devices or
    3) tell me if getting an iPhone will really solve all my problems

    No problem [and only since you asked].
    First of all, only the original poster (OP) can make the awards and these are limited to 1 x 'This solved my question' and 2 x 'This helped mes' Once you have used the 'This solved by question' you cannot withdraw it (as in your case) and allocate it to someone else. The best you can do to 'compensate' is to issue one (or the two) 'This helped me' provided they have not been used up.
    Regards.

    My i phone 5 screen shattered yesterday, but phone still works.  Is there a way I can still retrieve my contacts and photos from my other phone?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    See:

    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

  • When entering my phone serial number it shows "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."

    Hi,
    I had purchased an iPhone 5 last month and got the OS updated to iOS 7, yesterday.
    The data cable was of very bad quality and when I took it to the retailer for replacement, they said that its not covered under the one year warranty.
    Secondly, I have also been experiencing network coverage issues with this phone. So, I decided to contact apple care through the web. When entering my serial number/IMEI it says, "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."
    Does anybody have any idea what the reason behind this could be.
    - First time with iPhone and frustrated.

    If you purchased the iPhone from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller,
    contact them for assistance. If you purchased elsewhere, go back
    to that retailer and get them to give you a new iPhone or your money
    back.
    If you have checked the serial number carefully and re-entered it
    and that gave you the same error message, contact Apple if purchased
    from Apple or authorized retailer; otherwise you have been scammed
    and need to pursue the matter with the business you obtained the
    iPhone from.

  • Invalid Certificate Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be used to send from your e-mail address.

    Hi,
    I have a problem when trying to sign emails with an X.509 certificate in Outlook 2010. I constantly get the error message. The certificate is Verified for the email address I'm sending from.
    "Invalid Certificate
    Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because you have no certificates which can be
    used to send from your e-mail address."I have no problem with signing documents in Word 2010 with the same certificate, only when trying to send email.Every check I can perform confirms that there's nothing wrong with the certificate. Yet, Outlook still says it is invalid.I have even tried installing a second X.509 for the same email address just to check. Outlook doesn't seem to like either certificate.I know this has been posted before, but I'm completely stuck here.Thanks,~Dan

    Hi,
    You may have checked the option "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" in Outlook, please uncheck this to test if the problem persists.
