I am in Brasil, here they have a different carrier. When i go back to the US is there a way I can save everything from my Iphone (contacts, pictures, videos, etc) and transfer them to a US carrier?

I am currently living in brasil at the moment, and I plan to go back to the US soon.
I would have to change carriers in this case. I am afraid I will lose every contact here and all the pictures I have taken on my Iphone.
Is there a way I can do this via transferring to a US carrier without losing all my data?

Data on the phone has absolutely nothing to do with what carrier you are using. No data is stored on the SIM at all. If you have a (legitimately) unlocked phone, all you should have to do is put your new SIM in the phone and carry on.

    It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

    iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4.

  • I bought my Iphone 4s in Kuwait and just found out due to Kuwait regulations I do not have Facetime on my OS. When I get back to the US is there a way to down load facetime?

    can anyone help me out on this issue?

    Every iPhone model has an identifier that is in the firmware whch tells the OS what limitations there are.
    So even if you install the latest version of iOS (which will have Facetime) your iPhone model number will tell iOS to deactivate facetime.
    Sorry there is no fix to this.
    It allows iPhones to be sold in countries that have special laws; some comuntries limit volume in earphones e.t.c.
    There is theories as to if this was a legal requirement, or a mistake.
    I wonder if it is a mistake why it has not been fixed yet.

  • I lost all of my tabs when I restarted to install the update, is there any way I can retrieve them?

    I restarted my browser to install your most recent update. I had 45 tabs, some of them opened months ago and never closed. When the new browser window opened all of my tabs were gone and it will not let me use "Restore Previous Session". Is there any way to retrieve those tabs? Its going to be virtually impossible for me to reconstruct even half of them and this is highly frustrating. I'm using my chrome right now because I don't want to touch my firefox just in case.

    Nevermind, I found the button to restore all previously closed windows and it pulled my main window and a few others up as well.

  • Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iphone 4 using a new computer (dont have access to the one its synced to) and the screen on the iphone is broken but the phone works? Help!

    I've broken the screen on my iphone 4 but it lights up so i know its still working, I synced it to a laptop I dont own anymore
    and my new laptop wont allow me access to the iphone even though it knows its an iphone and its plugged into the usb.
    I've some irreplacable pictures on the phone which i'm desperate not to lose so please help! or is my best bet
    sending the phone off to have the screen replaced?

    If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

    You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists.  You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.

    No.  The only way is if the FindMyiPod feature was already set up and wifi is on.  However, that can be defeted by turning the iPod off or restoring it. If they have access to the iPod then can just turn the feature off.
    If the iPod off/battery drained how would you expect there t be a way of finding it?
    Apple will not help.

    TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Hi when I use USB cable to transfer photos from my computer to my I pad2 when I have one lot of photos on I pad when I come to put more on I loose the first ones, is there any way you can save photos to I pad

    Hi when I transfer photos from my computer to my I pad2' that's ok but when I come to transfer more photos I loose the first ones
    Is there a way I can save them
    Hope somebody out there could let me know
    Many Thanks

    Only the contents of the most recent sync remain on the iPad, so if you want to sync multiple folders then you need to sync them in one go - in which case the folders will need to be directly off the same parent folder (otherwise they can't all be selected). Not including a folder in a subsequent sync is the way by which you delete them off the iPad. More info on photo syncing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

    If you already have an iPhone backup or an iCloud backup, just follow the instructions on the page below

    If you didn't back up your iPhone, try to use WhatsApp Pocket to recover your chats:

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
    Peace, Clyde

    I am the owner of my iPhone 4 and it had not been updating and allowing me to download apps. So I decided to do factory setting, before doing so I had backed up my phone on my computer then I had erased everything from my iphone. But now I want to start everything from the beginning, and on my setting my Apple ID is present however when I put my password in it doesn't let me log in. The message that I receive says that I would have to remove my Apple ID  as it will not let me log in with that I'd even though I am the original owner, I have tried  everything on find my iPhone as well, even there my Apple ID not showing on the devise.
    If anyone has had a similar experience could you please advise me on what to do,
    Thanks

    You must have the credentials that were used to turn on Find my iPhone on the device. Without them, you can not get past the activation lock.

    Sorry ... I read but was unfortunately distracted from your original post.  You have a system that came with Lion.  The Lion that is on your system is only for your computer and cannot be downloaded from the app store again because you never purchased it officially through the App Store.
    Try this for making an external USB/DVD copy of Recovery on an external disk.  internet is still required for reinstall, though, I believe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848.  But at least you have a separate Recovery Partition if you ever need a fully new and empty internal disk.
    Your assumption is incorrect. Although he may not be able to download it from the App store he can download it directly for the Apple servers using the recovery partition on his original drive.
    All you have to do is start the install routine and then point the install to an external hard drive. Once the download is finished the computer will reboot to start the install. At that reboot disconnect the external drive so the install can not start. Boot the computer back into the OS on the internal hard drive, which is what will happen automatically once the external drive is disconnected. Then connect the external and copy the files from it that were downloaded. Right click on that downloaded package file and select Show contents. In the contents of that package is a file called InstallESD.DMG. Copy that file out of the package and burn it down to a DVD or USB thumb drive and you now have the Full Lion Installer. I have several of them laying around on different hard drives and 2 USB thumb drives which I have used to reinstall Lion on my 15" MBP.
    Sorry OP I should of just typed this out in my first post.
