I did not buy it in Kuwait or UEA but from Telus in Toronto

The Apple store had to reinstall the software on my brand new Iphone4, as they said the firmware was corrupted and it could/would not connect to Itunes . I then spent another two hours putting back in all my contacts music etc. Now I have no Facetime, no icon, no nothing. Twice I have asked Apple for an 'express call back', but they don't!
Can someone please tell me how to get Facetime back on my phone WITHOUT having to 'restore' and loose all my contacts again!
The Company which I own were given all new phones and I was the only person who did not ask for a Blackberry Torch, and opted for the Apple. You can guess how happy I am with that decision at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated...

Here is the answer and absolutely no thanks to Apple Support who could not find a solution.
You have to 'restore' the iphone, however you HAVE to restore as a 'NEW PHONE'. If you restore as the existing one in memory then Face Time still will not work. And before you do, you should download MeMobile as it will save all your contacts, it's a freebie for 60 days.

  • I did not buy on itunes and was debited from my account on 13-06-2013 £7.35 why

    i did not buy anything on itunes and was debited from my account on 13-06-2013 £7.35 why?

    Hello jmexia
    If you are seeing a debit that you are unaware of, look at your purchase history to see if that debit shows up. If it does and it was not you then there is a report and issue for that purchase option.

    Apple "veriifes" your Apple ID account information everytime you download media whether free or paid thus the authorization hold. Your account will be credited the amount of the holds usually within 24 to 48 hours.

    Try each of these in order until one works:
    Open App Store and click on your Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them, then do so.
    Put the old ones into the Trash, temporarily. Open App Store and see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If asked to buy them, see the next option.
    Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    You will have to purchase them using your Apple ID.

  • Cannot download a TV episode "you did not buy this" error message

    I have received two new episodes of programs that I purchased, and tonight when I tried to download, both shows gave me an error message that said "you did not buy this.  You cannot download."  
    But I DID buy this!  I've bought these two shows for more than a season!  
    I had an earlier error message that these shows could not download at this time, in the morning.  During the day I shut down the computer completely, and rebooted this evening . . . . . to get this new error message.
    Any ideas?

    Only if you are permitted to re-download it from the source. There's nothing we can suggest to help you. There is no undelete software, but there are a number of data recovery utilities like iPod Data Recovery Software | Lost / Deleted Data Recovery for iPod.

  • Just to clarify, I am running Mac osx 10.4 and I am trying to sync a brand new I pad 2 I did NOT buy from apple.  Do I need to downloand Mac Osx 10.5 or higher to activate this Ipad 2?

    Just to calrify, I am running Mac OSX 10.4 and I am trying to sync and brand new Ipad 2 which I did NOT buy from Apple and my I tunes does not recognize the device when I plug in the USB cable.  Is this because I need ot downloand OSX 10.5 or higher?  Thank you

    I believe that we were involved in this discussion yesterday.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Yes you mst be running 10.5.8 or higher. From the Apple iPad technical specs.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access5
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • My appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy, does anyone know what the problem could be? I don't think I have been hacked (no money subtracted, etc.)

    Hi all,
    For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
    I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
    Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
    Thanks!

    well... actually you are right dahveed, i had a dodgy copy of galaxy on fire 2 (boring game), that's what was giving me the issue. i followed your posts about the MAS etc., and discovered this was the problem. Corrected. You're a knowledgable man, thank you

  • My ipad got a 1 line cracked at the corner side near the charging sight...went to a apple aothorized reseller...1st they advised me to contact online/call toll free support for the inquiries on my IPAD2 for the reason that i did not buy it in their store.

    IS IT RIGHT THAT THE APPLE RESELLER CHARGED ME FOR THE FREIGHT PAYMENT OF MY IPAD2 FOR THE REASON THAT THEY FACILITATED THE REPAIR  OF MY IPAD 2...IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I BOUGHT IT ONLINE AND NOT IN THEIR STORE... IS THAT RIGHT?

    it was not broken due to drop..we charged it and afterwardse we saw that there was a crack..if we drop it i think it will not only have a one small line...but anyway the authorized resseller facilitated the reporting of the complain of our ipad2...i think they have it pictured and send it to the apple.com...apple.com replied that my case is approved and still under warranty...they send it to the Authorized apple repair center...
    I actually got a brand new ipad2...they replaced a new one..but they charged me for the FREIGHT for the reason that i did not buy it in their APPle store...that i bought it on Apple online...

  • Can´t update pre installed iPhoto version 9.1.5 to 9.2 because in App Store is said i have to login with the ID I bought iPhoto! I did not buy iPhoto with any ID because it was already preinstalled!

    Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
    This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

  • Hi i did not buy any songs from itune and i got a bill for 29.99 plus tax .how can i get my refun back

    hi i did not buy any thing from itune and i got a bill for 29;99 plus tax.how can i get my refun back.

    Did you buy anything from the App Store? All of those stores are connected to the iTunes Store so that's probably why you got something that said iTunes on it.
    If you bought an app, for example, that was $30 you'll probably see "iTunes Store" on the receipt.
