I have just received an iphone 4 from a friend and it is in software version 4.3.2 still and will not update to latest version. It updates for about 3o minutes and then an error reading that my interent connection timed out? Any suggestions?

I have an Iphone 4 from a friend. It was never updated with him and now I am trying update to latest software version. It is currently in 4.3.2 and it updates till the last few seconds and then a message, with no error number, states that the internet connection had time out during update. I am using my PC and have tried unsuccessfully for a week. I have tried to restore setting on phone first before plugging in to PC and updating software through Itunes? I took it to my mobile phone outlet and they couldn't help? Is there another way?

I just bought an iphone 4s from a friend and it will not sync to iTunes

I just bought an iphone 4s and the phone will not sync to itune. I have the music that I bought from itunes but not my other music. And when I do plug the phone up to my computer it will say that the phone is hooked up but iTunes will not show my phone like my ipod shuffle shows up on iTunes.

Are you sure your friend didn't jailbreak it?
If so, save yourself a lot of time and trouble - throw it in the trash.

Ive just bought an iphone 5s from a friend,i reset it and its asking for a code for itunes gift card...do i have to have this?

ive just bought a iphone 5s from a friend..i reset it and while setting it back up in my name it ask for a code for itunes gift card..is this necessary? is there not a promo code..

If you mean that you are creating a new iTunes account then the gift card field is optional, it doesn't have to be filled in, you can enter your credit card details instead as your payment method - and no, there isn't a 'promo code'.
Or there are instructions on this page for creating a new account (e.g. on a computer's iTunes) without giving payment details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Or do you mean something else ?

Just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password

just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.

If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

Have just got my iphone back from my daughters who has been using it. I have put my sim card in and cannot update it or do anything as it is stating emergency calls only. it only recognises on itunes as her iphone what should i do please

i have just got my 3gs back from my daughter and i have put my sim card in and it comes up as emergency calls only. That is my first problem then when i plug it into itunes it only recognises it as her iphone can anyone help my please ?

I agree with wjosten. Sounds like a sim card issue. Was your sim card removed from a working,activated phone? I've switched sim cards in an iphone multilple times and never had a problem. You might try removing the sim card and reinstalling.

Your friend does get to keep. .Purchases are locked forever to the Apple id used to purchase them
They just download again using the same Apple id

Good luck!

I was given an iPhone 4 from a friend and I was trying to reset it to factory settings but it won't let me. It's keeps popping up with a box to put in my friends iCloud account password in but I don't know it. How can i delete their iCloud account?

You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.
Best of luck,

I have just lost all my contacts from my Mac and my I Phone. Don't know how. Can I get them back? Not using Time Machine

I have just lost all my contacts from my Mac and my I Phone. Don't know how. Can I get them back? Not using Time Machine

If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.
