HT5622 I reset my security for my iphone and how can i retrice the setting?
I set a new passowrd for my iphone security and forgot the password. How can i rest or retrive the password
Do you mean the passcode you enter when the iPhone has been locked?
If it is the passcode then you cannot retrieve or reset the passcode unless you remember and enter it in correctly. Have a read over the article below:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled

I paid $600 for my iPhone, so how can I uninstall the adware?
How can I uninstall (or at least hide the icon for) the Wifi iTunes store on my iPhone? I paid full price for the phone and don't like the idea of having adware installed on it. Thanks.
If I remember correctly you allowed for the update to install, knowing full well it would add the iTunes store.
So... the equal comparison would be if you invited Nike into your house to sew on new logos. Would you then still cut it off? I suppose you would but.... you'd look awfully dumb inviting them in know full well what they were doing. -
I have been using the same Apple ID for 2 iPhones. How can I create another ID to distinguish them?

Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
You can do it through iTunes as well. -
I'm swapping my iphone 4S for a iphone 5, I can enjoy all the apps that have old phone?

Just be sure to do a complete sync using iTunes and storing the backup locally on the computer. A local copy of every app will be stored, together with the rest of the stuff from the phone. Later, when you get the new phone, plug it in immediately with iTunes running: it will recognize that the phone is new and offer to restore from the stored backup. Those apps that don't get installed automatically as part of the restore, you can manually install from the local copy.
Works flawlessly on a Mac. I guess same thing should occur on a Windoze PC, but I don't sleep with the Enemy.
Edit: be sure the computer has enough juice to finish the restore. On another thread, a participant tried to do the above, computer died midway, screwed the process up. -
I forgot the password for my photo vault how can I open the photo again iPhone 5s iOS 7.0.5
We don't know your passwords. If you forgot the password for your photo vault then you are out of luck. Consult with the developer of the vault to find out if there is any password recovery.

I have 2 ipod touches. I backed up the new one with old's info. The old one will not unlock with the password I had wrote down and I tried my new ones password. How can I reset the old ipod without affecting the new one and how can I unlock the old one?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?
If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi. -
I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?
Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos? -

Information to be deleted
Please Please Help MeHi Mohammad,
I'm sorry that you have lost your phone.
If you need to erase the personal information on your phone remotely, here are the steps to do that:
iCloud: Erase your device remotely
If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information.
Important: Before you erase all the information on your device, try to locate it or play a sound on it. After you erase the information on an iOS device, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or play a sound. You may still be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac after you erase it.
If you erase your iOS device and then find it, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see the user guide for your device in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
To erase your device remotely, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost.
I hope this information helps ... -
