HT4859 In order to use iCloud, it says I have to update my iphone's software. Won't this delete all my apps etc though?

Please help!

Connect to itunes on the computer you use for syncing. Perform a backup to itunes. Then click on the link in the first tab to upgrade. The upgrade will install the new iOS and then restore all your data.

I have just updated my IPhone 3Gs software to newest one, but on the set-up it is saying there isn't a sim in the phone??

It keeps saying my iphone cannot be activated because there is no sim, which there is??

I followed the thread and used the link provided to download iTunes version 10.6.3 (again). The same error message keeps coming up, telling me that I do not have it installed. I tried restarting the computer following the install, but it still won´t acknowledge that 10.6.3 is installed. Any other solutions?

I was asked to update my iphone but then got an error message (6) saying I had to go to itunes which says I have to restore my iphone and default to factory settings. All that I am getting on the screen is a sign to plug in to itunes. I am VERY unhappy

It was working fine until I tried to update the software as requested. Help! I do not want to go to factory settings and lose everything. Can I uninstall the update somehow? Please respond asap

If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios.

I have just updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and when i download an app it says 'Waiting' on the icon then disappears.

I have been having problems downloading apps for a while now. I only just downloaded IOS 7 but I thought it would help me, it hasn't.
I go onto the app store to download and app, i enter the correct passwrd and the apps icon appears to be downloaded. The waiting sign appears on the icon and then the icon itself disappears, then on the app store it looks as though i have never tried to download it! PLEASE help! i didnt get Flappy Bird because of this issue! lol

Hi Nerdyninja12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try this step first if an app download on your iPad is not completing:
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.

If the download still does not complete, force close and re-open the App Store. Here's how to force close an iOS application:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:

Did you purchase Lion (10.7) from the App Store did you then download and install it?

Cannot get mail using iCloud. Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this. Very odd.

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Is there anyway to restore all photos, apps, etc onto an iPad using the most recent iCloud back up from an iPhone? I did a backup on my iPhone today but when I restored my iPad using that backup, only the photos in the photostream transferred to the iPad?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

So I got this email this morning about my apple ID and that I have to review my apple ID information. Failure to do this will result in the deletion of my apple ID and iCloud. Says it needs to be done within 48 hours. Is this legit?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the message isn't about space on your phone, rather than in iCloud.

HT4759 i have unlimieted data through ATT, but on icloud it says i have 5G of storage, how do I get it to see the ATT plan

i want to be able to some music from clout to mhy iphone 5. I am having tow problems. Cant see any music on cloud, and through ATT i have unlimited data, but on the icloud it says i have 5GB. Can anyone help?

Your unlimited data for AT&T is how much data you phone can download/upload.
iCloud data is storage.
In other words you can store 5GBs of data for free (you can buy more) on Apple's server via iCloud. They are two completely different things.

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

You have to start over by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content & Settings. This will bring you back to the setup assistant screens.

The first thing to try is to make sure you are not in Full Screen Mode. Press F11.
