I gave my old iphone to my granddaughter when I bought a new one. The phone is asking for a passcode for voicemail which I don't have? any ideas?
I bought a new iPhone 5S and actually gave my iPhone 4S to my husband, who passed on my old iPhone 3S that he had been using to our granddaughter. So I am the original owner of the iPhone 3S. The iPhone 3S is asking our granddaughter for a Visual Voicemail Passcode. Being the original owner, I don't have a passcode and don't remember setting one up, nor did my husband when he used it. Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate your time! Thanks!
Hello PrettyinPinkInk,
You might consider restoring the iPhone, then removing the SIM card after activating the iPhone, so as to use it as an iPod Touch. This should prevent any unwanted association with a phone number, and thus, voicemail, as well.

I would love to get the photostream pictures from my iPad back on my iPhone. How ??
Don't the photos automatically download to your computer? I thought that is how it worked. I don't use photo stream since the iPad is not my ideal way to take photos so I have no experience with photo stream, but I thought that was the idea behind it - download to all devices ....
How many Photo Stream photos are stored on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your Photo Stream photos to your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like into another album to keep them on your device forever.
Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, they automatically download and keep every photo from your Photo Stream by default.

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?
If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). -
I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.
If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

Do this first:

Then whoever gets the phone just sets things up again using their Apple ID. -
My wife gave me her older ipad. I have reset and removed all data. My Apple ID (Ipod touch) is not an email adress, but when I try to stu up the ipad it asks for my Apple ID, then tells me that for security reasons the Apple ID must be in email format?
Change it to an email address.
-> https://appleid.apple.com/ -
I have an iPhone 4s and it is now deactivated. the phone is asking for my apple account and password. but i have forgotten my password. i tried to reset it on iforgot.apple.com, and when i entered my apple id the next thing that appeared on screen is that i have to chose either email verification or security questions. then i click the security question then it asked about my birthday. there where only asking the month and day. then i entered my birthday which is March 8.
so can somebody help me with this problem?
my apple id account is "[email protected]"
thanks in advance!The email you should NOT have published, is your iCloud, not Apple ID
You Apple ID is a valid email address
This is a user forum, not Apple customer service.
I gather the security question did not work.
If you have an email address, why not use that?
If this fails you have to contact support and schedule help. -
Has anyone had a problem with TapMedia File Manage installed on iPhone 5? I reported a WIFI functionality problem to the developer and asked for support. Instead the company has been very unprofessional by name calling me instead of logically evaluate and troubleshoot the problem

My old Iphone 5 died and nothing transferred to my new one. Need help with set up
SO my old Iphone 5 had a hardware crash and I was unable to get anything off of it before it died. I received my new one and plugged it into Itunes to download the stuff I backed up and hardly anything transferred to it except a few old apps, no contacts, no nothing. I then did a sync for all of my music and I thought it worked, but now I'm having to go to each individual song and download them from my phone which takes forever. Is there a way to download them all at once? Is there a way to get my contact list back? If so, how?
Yes.

I have an iphone 4 and the laptop i used to have it synced with (itunes) has broken and i can no longer get to it. I've now bought a new laptop but when i try to update to ios5 it says i will lose all of my apps and any purchases i've bought? Also it won't let me load any new music to my phone? what should i do?
if you didn't do a backup of the old laptop so you can get the itune lib back the way it were
you have to sync and lose the data
but you can never lose the apps they are tied to the appleID and can always be redownloaded from both the iphone under purchases and in itunes on the computer -
New iphone 4 indicates that temporary voicemail password has expired, select a new one. In trying to do so, the first step is to enter current password. I either did not have one, or I don't remember it. Could the prompt mean just to enter a new password?
Thanks, JK. I called my carrier, and now I'm on to the next learning curve. Great to have the help.

My iphone says searching for network, and I don't have any sim card on it. What can I do?
I just bought a new iphone, It doesn't has any sim card putted on it, but on the left upper corner it says searching for network, and I cannot activate this.. What can I do?
ive got the same prob on my 4s i usually have to hard reboot a couple tims with no sim
steps i go through
1. turn on airplane mode
take out sim
2. hard reboot
3.turn back on then turn off airplane a couple a times if didnt work 1st time
another way that worked for me is turn on airplane mode then reset network settings and reboot with out sim in
but the longest this worked for me was maybe 3 or 4 days it a temp fix.. it just went to searching again about 5 mins ago and i used my first way to fix it, get it to say no sim and then i put sim back in. note it has to say no sim when its on the way to be working -
My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone
My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!
Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.
