Hi iv added iCloud to my iphone5 and by doing so I've now lost all contacts, photos and also my iMessage please can someone help me to restore my phone back to how it was before doing this? I went to backup and chose wrong backup date and I'm now stuck. This is driving me mad PLEASE someone help??

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • I can't turn on my Mac Book Air after upgrade the Lion software. Please, can you help me?

    I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
    dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?

    We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
    If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US)

  • HT1414 i had hooked my iphone4s up  to itunes, i didnt read it correctly and chose to sync it with my old iphone, which is the 3g. how do i put my new iphone back to how it was before. i dont have none of my old photos or text from my iphone 4s. HELP

    I had hooked my new iphone 4s up to itunes. I did not read what they were asking correctly, which was to "set up as a new iphone": or "restore backup." i choose restore backup, and now it looks like my iphone 3g. I lost all my photos from my iphone 4s, text messages, bookmarks, notes, emails, basically everything important. So i want to know how to put it back to normal, how it was on my iphone 4s. Please help, i lost alot of information.

    If you haven't synced again since this happened you may still be able to restore from the backup that was created at the start of the sync process.  First, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab look at the list of backups and identify if your backup prior to this happening still exists.  You can hover your mouse over the name of the backup to reveal the IMEI, phone number and serial number of the phone that was backed up, allowing you to identify which one is your 4S backup.  If the backup exists, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now connect your phone to your computer.  When it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup, selecting the backup you identified earlier to restore from.
    When the restore completes you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.
    This won't restore everything as certain data such as contacts and all iTunes media isn't included in the backup but at least you'll be able to get much of it back.

  • Need help with data leakage - ATT no help but may get phone back!

    Newb here and I have an issue.
    Three weeks with the phone and finally got over my fear of an active app and downloaded a biking app. Did two 6 mile rides and went home to check data usage. ATT had not posted my usage yet (they run a couple of days behind)  but I poo'ed myself at 42 meg of data. I started looking and 3872k 2735k 2781k 6803k and 1706k where all done when my phone was within 3 feet of my router and I was asleep. 3109k was when I was driving to work and 1183k 5934k 14073k and 1520k were when I was at work.
    First ATT tried to tell me it was billing information. I asked them if they knew that every character in War and Peace was only 3100k this would have to be billing information for my community. Not much of a response. 
    Then they tried to tell me it was apps updating. A little clueless when I told them this was my first interactive app and even then 42 meg of updating apps in 8 days?
    Then they tried to tell me it was internet and email. I use neither, especially at times I am asleep or driving or at work. There were only 3 instances over 1 meg that I was even able to access my phone. I have never used face time and until the last two days I have used my phone to text and picture message. I have put over 5 hours of talk time on it dealing with this so it now has 7 hours of talk time on it.
    In short these charges are crap. So I downloaded Dataman. I get on the phone with ATT. My wife has the same phone (and uses her more and only has 7 meg of used data for the same billing period) Her phone is at 256.9k 3G and 12.3 meg wifi. (game player) Mine is at 12.6k 3G and 42.6K wifi. By the end of the conversation hers is at 258.5k 3G and 12.4 meg wifi and mine is at 17.8k 3G and 1.0 meg wifi. The ONLY app on my phone is dataman. No email. No internet. NOTHING but it sits here and uses up chunks of data. That keeps me from playing with the phone because I am sure if I start playing it wont take much time to eat up my 200 meg of data since it's already eaten up 1/4th of it and all ATT can say is "it's normal for a smart phone."
    At first her answer was for me to take it to Apple to exchange it. I asked her what I was paying ATT a warranty for. NEVER did they offer to exchange the phone, look at it, etc. I brought up the fact that I am within my 30 days and she told me I was welcome to take it back. Nice answer but I would like to try and solve the problem
    In the time I have written this my data has gone from 17.8 to18.3 and my wifi has gone from 1.0 to 1.2 meg on a phone with 1 app (dataman). Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello,
    I put her phone in safe mode but not sure what to do after that??  I also don’t exactly want to have to spend another $5.00 per month just to be able to control her phone.....seems like that could be a free feature??  ’m pretty sure other carriers offer it for free.....and at this point I am considering switching.  I have made at least 5 trips to the next town where the Verizon store is located (15 miles one way) and 1 trip to Winchester to get a phone that the other store didn’t carry when I switched phones (20 miles one way)..I feel more comfortable with the guy I am now dealing with there to get this figured out.  I’ve also spent countless hours online researching forums for the solution to the problem....and have seen lots of solutions but none have worked for us so far.  I feel like we are being scammed by these applications they offer and with all the settings they have it’s impossible to figure them out or know what they even mean!!  Is there any chance of waiving some of the charges for this trouble we are dealing with?
    Thank you
    Annette

  • I backed my ipod up but it changed a lot of stuff and deleted iMessage chats. How can I restore it back to how it was before?

    How can I un back up my ipod

    If the last backup was before the deletions/changes your only hope is a data recovery company like one of these discussed here:

  • Hello i hope someone can help. i connected my iphone to my laptop and did what i thought was syncing and updating to i tunes latest 11.1 version what i did was restore my iphone back to how it was before my last update have lost 500 photos

    i havnt completed this properly first time on here.
    I have lost a lot of photos, messages, MMS, My VIBER app conversations have gone
    I want this information back urgently! unfortunately I am not  a computer tech....
    I have IOS 7.0,2 currently and 11.1 itunes,
    any suggestions how i get my deleted data back onto my iphone ?????????

    Had you taken any backups (either with iCloud or iTunes) before doing this accidental restore?
    If you had, you should be able to restore from one of them.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid your data content is gone.

  • How can I get my Recently Added back to how it was before I reset? Also, is there any way to sort a playlist by the numbering (i.e. 1, 2, 3)?

    Basically, I reset my computer (not rebooted; reset, as in wiped it clean) and backed up all my music. After putting the songs back onto my iPhone, the playlists like My Top Rated and Recently Played were empty, of course. For Recently Added, all of my songs were in there. I imported my playlists and most were back to normal. However, the first 13 songs in my Recently Added were the same as before I reset my computer, which I found really odd, so I figured that they were sorted somehow for that to happen--they had to be. The rest of the songs were all of my other songs.
    Anyways, I can't find a way to get my Recently Added to just have those 13 songs and it's really irritating me. Is there a way??? Yes, I've tried limiting to 13 items. I've also tried sorting by name, and the "most recently/least recently added" options didn't work either. How can I sort it by numbering, as in the actual numbers next to the Artist name???
    Also, notice how the first 13 songs are sorted by Name and after those songs, the rest are sorted by Artist Name. So, I'm thinking this issue is fixable. It's peeving me!

    A smart playlist like "Recently Added" is based on the date that a track is added to your library.  Since you erased your computer and re-built your library from scratch, all your tracks are considered "recently added" because iTunes assigned a new date to each song as it was re-added to your library.
    Instead of re-building your library from scratch, and re-importing certain playlists you had saved, it might've been better to have simply recovered your "iTunes Library.itl" file.  That is the index that points to where all your song files are, and contains all your playlists, and has properties such as ratings, last played date, and date added.  As long as the native files for your songs are in the same place, you could re-use your "iTunes Library.itl" file if you saved a copy before you erased your computer (always back that file up along with your native files, the .itl file IS your library).
    As far as why the Recently Added playlist starts with 13 particular songs, then proceeds with the rest of all your songs in alphabetic order, it is possible that either you (or iTunes) started adding the songs back with the 13 most recent songs you had previously added to your library before it was erased, and once those were added then things proceeded by artist in alphabetical order.  Not sure, but there's really nothing you can do about that other than replace your .itl file with the original version if you still have it somewhere.

  • How do i restore the information in my iphone back to how it was before I changed it?

    I accidentally didn't know what I was doing and ended up changing all my settings. It deleted all my contacts now I searching a way to get all my previous data back, any ideas? Please I am in desperate need of help. I was trying to put music in my phone and ended up changing my phone completely. If there is anyway of getting all my contacts and pictures back please tell me.

    On the track pad control while moving two fingers down to zoom out to the original size and control plus two fingers moved up to zoom on.
    Alternatively if you have a magic mouse use control and drag one finger up and down on the mouse to control zooming.  If mouse wheel use control and move the wheel.

  • I have 6 ios devices. When we got icloud, all the information merged. How do i make everything go back to how it was before?

    I have 6 ios devices. When i got icloud, all the information merged together. How do i make it go to how i had it before.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back  what you can from there
