I have an iphone 4s, and it is telling me that my "other: data is over 2 gb
i am having a problem with the other data section in my phone. its over 2 gigs, and no matter what i do, it stays that way. i've synced the device, restored the device, and all the other little tips that i found here on the forums. so, should i set it up as a new phone as the next step after restoring it once again? will that have me lose all my saved data?
Backup, then restore should sort you out. A certain amount of "other" is normal. I currently have just under 1Gb on my iPhone and a little over 2Gb on my iPad. It's not absolutely clear what goes into other, but it could include data associated with apps, email, contacts, your camera roll etc. Having restored your iPhone you could try deleting all media and all apps that don't have any data you care about. If you can export the data associated with an app and back it up independently then do so (NOT GarageBand projects if you have a PC as they cannot currently be restored) then you can remove that app too. This should get your device as lean as possible. You could then repeat the backup restore cycle before replacing your other apps and media which would hopefully result in less other being used.

I have an iphone 4s. I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6. When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it. Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download. So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes. When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place. I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port. I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi. -
I have an iPhone 5c and want to play songs that are stored on my PC iTunes library, but were not bought through iTunes. How do I do this?

I used to be able to increase the size font of the persons name sending me an email or text message. I have an iphone 5 and can no longer do that. Help!
Just the name? Don't ever recall that being a feature. However, for Mail and Messages (and a few other apps): Settings app > General > Text Size

On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!
The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
iPhone sync only one way computer -> iPhone except content bought from iTunes.

I have an iPhone 5s and i've been noticing that my phone would go into Do Not Disturb mode at night. So I looked under settings, and there was a profile labeled "Consumer Input" and then I noticed DND was set for 10pm-7am. Does anyone know what caused it?
You downloaded a profile from somewhere. If it's not one you want or need, delete it.

i have a iphone 3 and there is things wrong with it can it be fixed and who do i talk to to get it fixed
Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less, though of course it depends on what's wrong with it. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further support from Apple will be voided.
The iPhone 3G is pretty old now by smartphone standards, though, so you might want to consider putting your money toward a new, or at least newer, iPhone rather than spending to repair your current unit.

I have a iphone 4S and I get a message that the pair list is full- how do I resolve this issue
I have a Iphone 4s and I want to pair a bluetooth headset and I get a message that the pairlist is full. I deleated all the phone on the list and now cannot pair a new devise. I have no option to delete the other bluetooth items that I though I already deleted. STUCK ????
Try turning Bluetooth off and then resetting the phone (by holding the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo -- ignoring the off slider that appears first, then releasing).

I have a iphone 3 and want to know if there is a date and time stamp on the phone for the pictures
is there a date and time stamp for pictures on iphone 3?
Open a one of your pictures in any photo app on your computer and see if the metadata is there. I'd be surprised if it isn't.

Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?
If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person -
Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lotIf I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync. -
I have an Iphone 5 and Love it. Except for one thing; I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change. I can still access the APP store and Itunes.
However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on. But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again.... This is so frustrating and annoying. Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone?
Please help?
DiaThank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..
