She needs to reset her password, then, as you cannot activate the phone without it.

i got the iphone 5, got some pics and msgs and contacts on it, and when i connected to my PC to restore my previous info from the old iphone, all the new stuff are gone, how can i get it back, thanks for help.
The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

I have tried to restore my iPhone but when it has gone through all the restore I get the -1 error message and now my phone will not work at all, how do I rectify this please.
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
My partner has given me her old iPhone 3GS
My partner has given me her old iPhone 3GS having paid off the remainder of her 2yr contract with ‘T-Mobile’. I want to use a “PAYG” SIM from another Carrier so prior to installing this SIM, I backed-up the iPhone to my PC (with the original ‘dead’ T-Mobile SIM still fitted). I then took out this SIM card and did a Restore to original Factory settings via ‘iTunes’. When I look at the ‘Settings/General/About’, the “Carrier” still shows ‘EE 13.2’ (which is “T-Mobile” still!). If I now fit the other Carrier’s “PAYG” SIM card in the iPhone, will it ‘overwrite’ the T-Mobile Carrier with its own Carrier?
Cheers,
KeithThanks for that prompt response wjosten - unfortunately my partner was a bit naive when she paid off the contract and did not ask for the iphone to be unlocked (and they never suggested it); now, having taken the money from her (£202!), they refuse to issue an "unlocking PIN" (whatever that is) because she is no longer with T-Mobile! How can these Companies get away with this sort of behaviour and can we do anything about it? At this stage, it looks like we've ended up with a £202 paperweight.

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

I have a six months old iPhone 5s that I use and have to use for work purposes, I have for a approximate battery life of seven or eight hours.
I went to the Genius Bar on five occasions and did not receive substantial help. I was told that I would have some applications crashing in the background but was unable to be told which ones they were. The phone is still on the warranty, but it's Apple tells me that it is not the hardware but my usage. I compared it to some of my colleagues and none of them has a battery problem like I do. I feel like I am left with a product that is not stand up to its specifications, and as a customer being totally left alone with a smart phone that does not even last through a workday. Any suggestions how to get through to Apple with this?? I was always very impressed with Apple's customer service and care up until now, obviously. Now Im ready to jump ship...Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you? -
I have poor/no service on my iphone 6 in places that I do have service on my old iphone 5. Takes 10 minutes to send text and webpages will not load but load within seconds on the iphone 5 and forget making a phone call. How do i resolve this issue??
Hey kristiac,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have no service on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't connect to a cellular network or cellular data - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

my iOS remains the same as whats inside my iPhone I bought it 18months ago, which is version 4.2.1, I am told by an Apple shop that its too old to do a proper update, unless all my data will have to be erased !! is this true ? if so, how to get round it ? Chuck
Be sure to do a backup before updating as protection. Photos should
be synced with your computer, music should be in iTunes, documents
should be backed up on your computer as should contacts in whatever
program you use on your computer. You should already have backups
of your important information to prevent loss in case of theft, crash,
physical damage. The question is not if your hard drive will crash but
when, and you iPhone is not a backup device nor fit for the only
source of any document, picture, music, movie, contact or otherwise
irreplaceable information. -
I have given my iPad and iPhone to my wife, she has synchronized with her Apple ID but it keeps going back to my Apple ID when she tries to purchase something in iTunes. Do I need to deregister the device and register it in her Apple ID?
What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tabs in the App Store apps on the two devices ? If they still show your account id then try tapping on the id and log out of it and your wife can then try logging in with her account.
Any content that is already on them that was downloaded by your account will remain tied to your account, so only your account will be able to download updates to your apps. -

You need to call your service provider, and ask them if your SIM card is activated.

I have 2 ipod touches. I backed up the new one with old's info. The old one will not unlock with the password I had wrote down and I tried my new ones password. How can I reset the old ipod without affecting the new one and how can I unlock the old one?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer -
I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -
