  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

    Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • HT1153 can't connect my iPhone to my mac

    how do i get my mac to connect to my iphone 4 through bluetooth?

    I use Hotmail plus on my Iphone. Works perfectly. Don't believe anyone who claims they don't work well together, try it yourself, you will love it. I have had a hotmail account since before Microsoft owned it, and have never had a problem. The plus feature also gives you 10GB of protected storage. Here is a link to the signup page, and I cut-n-pasted all the settings below. Good Luck!
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to Mail
    3. Go to Add a new Account
    4. Click Other
    5. Click the POP button - do not leave it on the default IMAP button (this is where I made my mistake)
    Then fill in these values:
    NAME: Enter your name here, or some other value.
    ADDRESS: Enter your full hotmail email address
    DESCRIPTION: Create a description such as "hotmail account"
    INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Host name: pop3.live.com
    User name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter your password for this account)
    OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
    Host Name: smtp.live.com
    User Name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter the password for this account)
    Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS
    Make sure incoming and outgoing SSL is 'ON' - Authentication is set to Password

  • Can't Connect to My Time Capsule Backups, Please Help!!!

    I have been using Time Machine/Time Capsule to back my data up for over a year. I bought a new MacBook Pro this morning. I did not want to use Migration Assistant to transfer everything over because there were many bugs and corruptions on my old disk and was scared that would all be transferred to my new machine. It was time for a fresh start.
    I set up my new computer and transferred most of the files I needed via a flash drive. I am now trying to set up my MacBook Pro to connect to my Time Capsule backup disk via Time Machine, but once I enter Time Machine it does not allow me to go "back in time" to see all of my previous backups and restore points. There are some really important files I am trying to get to, but this computer isnt connecting to the Time Capsule backups. The old computer has already been completely reformatted, but it is still able to access the Time Capsule backups.
    I have done some internet research and learned that Time Machine uses a computer's ethernet MAC address to allow access. There are some codes posted on various websites that allow to alter what Time Machine thinks you MAC address is so that you can access your backups with a new computer/different logic board. None of these Terminal workarounds worked for me. The Genius Bar and Apple Care couldn't help either.
    I am hoping somebody can help me out. I understand I can use my old computer to get into Time Machine and retrieve what I need then transfer those to the new machine. But there must be a way to allow a new computer to fully access Time Capsule backups, but curiously, I can't find it. I rather have my new computer have full access because I am selling the old laptop and so I wont be able to use it to access my backups any longer.
    Sorry for the long explanation, but I hope that gives someone all the facts required to both understand what I am saying and help me fix the problem.
    -Amir

    Right now it is just empty because I have unmounted and disconnected my Time Capsule. I'm trying a low-tech work around to see if this works, but much rather do it the "right way."
    What I am doing is this:
    (1) Use Migration Assistant to copy everything from the Time Capsule to the new machine (this is exactly what I was trying to avoid initially). Migration Assistant has been copying files for about 5 hours now (still not sure what is going to happen).
    (2) Create a full backup on Time Capsule with my MacBook Pro now that it has everything from the Time Capsule on it.
    (3) Do a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
    (4) Hopefully, have the fresh start on my machine I wanted, but still have access to at least one archived copy of my old computer and files/folders.
    Does this make sense? Basically, the new machine does not allow me to access the old backups. So I am handicapping the machine now by reverting to my old settings via Migration Assistant, will back that up, then start all over from scratch again but hopefully have the peace of mind that my files are not gone because I will at least have that one copy of all my old copies in a Time Capsule backup that the new machine can access.

  • Can't activate unlocked iPhone 5.. Please Help.

    Hello.
    I got a supposed to be "FACTORY UNLOCKED" iPhone 5 from the Apple Store yesterday I bought it for full price $649 plus tax, no commitment, no monthly payment, only the phone, but today when I want to use the phone and go into the setup process it asks me to insert a SIM Card into it in order to activate.. This is what the iPhone tells me "Activation Failed" "Please insert a SIM card" I can't even get into the Springboard so I have an expensive $650 bucks rock with me right now..
    That means that the phone it's not unlocked at all? iPhone model is A1428.
    Thank you very much.

    Were you given a SIM card?  Do you have one somewhere?
    Here are the installation directions from the iPhone User Manual:

  • Can't connect PS3 to Airport Express Network - please help!

    Hello,
    This may have been done to death before, but I couldn't find it...
    I have an 80GB PS3 that I am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly through my Apple Airport Express.
    When I follow the setup procedure on my PS3, it finds the Apple Network, I put in the security key and it all seems to be going OK. However, when I test the internet connection, it fails to find the IP address.
    Can anyone help me with this? Please???
    Many thanks...

    I have fixed it!
    Basically, I had wpa2 encryption enabled. I changed the encryption to wep, which then prompted me to enter a 13 digit password, which I did. Fired up the ps3, entered the new 13 digit password and voila! All working beuatifully.
    Many thanks for your help!

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.
