  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • ...here goes...i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it, and walked away....when i returned it showed i had to open an account, ... my phone was charged, but the problem is it deleted all my pics and my contacts.....  is there

    i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it and was in a hurry and walked away, when i returned the add apple i tunes account information screen was up.....
    my problem is, all my pictures got deleted from my phone, all my contacts got deleted also......weird thing is it put pictures on my phone from another phone and also txt msg from another phone......  has this ever happened to anyone else? if so,....do you know how, or where the pictures got moved to? and if they were deleted, is there a way to pull deleted pictures form a phones memory??   thank you any body that can give me any assistance....i really need it...

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • Can i use my iphone while its charging for the first time

    i just got the iphone 6. when i turned it on for the first time it had like half battery, i let it fully die and now im charging it for the first time. can i use it while its charging? every phone ive ever had had such a crappy battery life. i wanna finally have a good battery! lol

    Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
    That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

  • Sync my iphone calendar with MobileMe for the first time without deleting?

    I never used iCal, I only us the calendar on my iphone to remember appointments. Now I just got MobileMe and I want my iphone calendar to sync with mobileme (obviously for the first time). But when I turn on MobileMe calendar sync on my iPhone, I get the message that if I save that setting, all my events will be deleted from my phone!
    How can I start using MobileMe on my phone without losing all my events/appointments??
    And what's the logic behind this behavior? I don't get it.

    childlost,
    This is the expected behavior. When MobileMe Push is enabled on the iPhone, it replaces the existing information with what it finds on me.com.
    I'd recommend following this guide for the initial setup: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone/mac.html
    Hope this helps,

  • Error message on iphone 3GS when initiating back-up for the first time "icloud backup failed - how to fix

    When initiating back-up of my 3GS to icloud for the first time, I repeatedly receive an error message reading:
    "iCloud backup failed
    There was a problem enabling iCloud backup"
    I cannot find a solution to this problem amd no amount of checking and rechecking account settings etc. has made any difference. Does anyone have experience of how to overcome this issue. The iCloud back-up initiated on my iPad without any problem so I do not think the problem is account related.
    Thanks.

    Same problem here...
    I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
    Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later."
    On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors.  I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
    I have tried the following:
    1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
    2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
    3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
    4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
    None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
    Any other help would be great - thanks!

  • Iphone 6 heats up for the first time

    hi. i have only bought my iphone 6  two days ago.
    much to my shock , once i turned it on for the first time and been doing the common stuff ( registration , signing in blabla) it started to heat up..
    after that, i tried to download one single app at a time to see whether it's my phone or probably i run too much things ( bluetooth, location, and icloud drive are on) at once but it STILL producing heat.
    up till now, it still feel heaty whenever i chat with my friends online + downloading an app while browsing through the internet and stuff which doesn't consume too much energy like playing hardcore games (i can't even imagine if i started to).
    of course i did my research before posting it here and most of it refers to IOS updates which causing heat and battery drains fast. my battery lifespan can last for 7-8 hours a day unlike my friends who owned an iphone6/6 plus they stated their iphone can last a day w/o the need of carrying power bank. and their activities are almost the same as mine.  is my phone defect ones ? i haven't been doing any updates to IOS 8.2 yet for the fear of the rumors.  i have been planning to downgrade it but can't. TT
    ORIGINAL version IOS 8.1.2 , 64gb.

    Hello nielson110011,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your new iPhone 6. I know how frustrating that can be, especially with a brand new device. If you have concerns that your iPhone is producing an unusual amount of heat, and/or is running outside of specification in any other regard, you may want to take your device in to be evaluated.

  • I can not activate my iPhone 3gs. What is the problem ? why ? Solutions ?

    Good day! I just bought an Iphone 3gs and  I did an update and now I can not activate it. It says : the actiivation server is temporary unavaliable. When Iam trying to do throught iTunes it says that there is no sim card (((. This is my first iphone. Please help !

    There is nothing wrong with Apple's activation servers. They are up & running just fine.
    We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
    Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation
