I have Iphone 4s and iPad. I'm going to Israel and want to stay in touch with US and people in Israel, for free. I use Verizon. What do you suggest
WHat is the best way to communicate back to the US and within Israel with my iPhone 4s and my iPad?
For free using cellular voice or data? Forget it. Especially if you have Verizon. T-Mobile is the only US carrier with reasonable roaming rates and services. Verizon is the worst for International roaming.
If you have a WiFi connection you can use Facetime, Skype or similar apps for voice, and Yahoo Messenger, GoogleTalk, Twitter or similar for texting.
If you are eligible for an upgrade get an iPhone 5S from Verizon. It is unlocked for International use. So you can use an Israeli SIM while there. It won't be free, but it will be no more expensive than anyone in Israel pays.

Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.

i have read up on all about crashes and i cant even open it in safe mode :( i have tried deleting it and reinstalling it but the problem still persists. What would you suggest i do and is there any way i canget hold of firefox 6 for mac?
Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have iphone 4 and recently updated IOS to 7.0.4. After that, my iphone is keep going into 3G mode at home. I thought it was the problem with my internet or router. But my husband's iphone and our ipads are not having any issues. I turned off and turn it on many times. It eventually get the wifi, but it disconnects few times and it is really frustrating.
Also, it seems to me that the battery is dying quicker. Am I the only person having the issue?
How can I fix the connectivity issue? Or is there any way for me to go back to IOS 6? Some of appes don't work under IOS 7.
Thank you.Hi yanylove,

Have iPhone 4s and iPad 2 both upgraded to ios6used to tether by wifi ok now will not help
Have iphone 4s and iPad 2. Used to be able to tether ipad to iphone as hotspot to backup ipad. Using i0s 6 on both now. Suddenly ipad will not connect to iphone wifi. iPad will connect through public wifi to complete backup. What to do?
From joromifa - the original question was mine.
Found solution to problem - others might want to read it so here goes:
My equipment and previous working setup:
iPhone 4s with IOS6; iPad 2 64 Gb WiFi and Celluar with IOS 6.
Have 6Gb "tablet share plan" which allows me to use the iPad on the iPhone plan.
Always tethered iPad to iPhone on WiFi to backup on iCloud instead of looking for public Hotspot.
Problem:
Suddenly iPad would not tether to iPhone on WiFi.
Tried repeatedly and would not work.
My solution:
Switched off Facetime on iPhone and iPad.
Deleted Facedial App on both iPhone and iPad.
Success!
Now iPad will tether to iPhone on WiFi and backup on iCloud.
Then switched on Facetime on iPhone and WiFi tether to iPhone Hotspot still works.
Have left Facetime off on iPad and have not reloaded Facedial.
Have run this several times and no further problem.
Conclusions:
Possible problem/bug with/in IOS 6?
Or with Facetime?
Or with Facedial?
Hope this helps others and lessons the frustration the problem can induce.

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?
Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.

I have iphone 4 and have followed all the steps to update and cannot get past "connect to Itunes"
Hey soozeeC
Use iTunes to update it. Download the latest version and install it. Once it is plugged in, it will ask if you want to update your iPhone to iOS 7. If that does not work then click restore.

Did you follow this article to update your phone?

If your device has modified software installed (jailbreak), you might get problems using the phone after updating it. -
I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why?
I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why? When iOS7 went out it should be free. Iike it was said at keynote. I can't even download it on other iP5
It's free if you bought iPhone, iPad, iPod touch after 1st of Nov. Sept 2013
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

I have iphone 6 and there is bright dot
I have iPhone 6 and there is a bright tiny dot under the WiFi signal. It only shows up when the screen is a light color. When it is a darker color it does not show through.
Hello TTKA,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have a bright dot on your iPhone 6 display, it may be related to the device software or hardware.
I'd recommend trying these steps first:
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
You can find these steps and more information here:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you restore your device and the dot is visible in the same place on your display, even when the iPhone is rotated, the following article recommends having your device evaulated by an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider:
About LCD display pixel anomalies for Apple products released in 2010 and later - Apple Support
If you are concerned about pixel anomalies on your display, take your Apple product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for closer examination. There may be a charge for the evaluation.
Sincerely,

HT201302 I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop, So i just want to restore the photos
I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop. Recently i back-uped my iphone and started using my iphone as a new one. But all the photos were in the back-up. So i just want to restore the photos. Since my laptop is windows, i cant get them by iphotos.
I was thinking that if i can sync just the photos to my iphone from by back-up, i can get the photos from iphone by transfering the files to my laptop.But i couldnt figure out how to sync just the "photos" of the whole back-up.
Do you have a better idea for getting the pics from the back-up? If not, can you help me by the option i suggested?
<Edited by Host>Hello SenaAkcicek,
If you want to restore data from a backup to your iPhone, you will need to restore the full backup, as you cannot select what items to be restored to an iPhone.

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?
I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. -
Hi. I am just about to move from the UK to Kuwait. Will I have any problems using my iPhone 4 and able to join a local carrier using this device please?
If your phone is locked to a particular carrier, you must contact them to request they unlock it. Once they've taken care of that and you've followed the instructions to complete the unlock process, you will be able to use the phone elsewhere.

I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...
I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
