    We have an iPhone 4s and can only see the top half of the screen.  The phone works fine as far as making calls and you can kind of text, if you can figure out where the keypad is.  Is there a fix for this or is it trash?  It is out of warranty and we don't have insurance on it.

    Then I guess you'll have to live with a broken phone as a new one is your only option.

  • I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages.  But I cant get into the mail box!

    I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages).  But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them.  Pls help!

    The received emails should show in two locations:
    1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
    2. The Inbox for each mail account,
    If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My thumbnails have all disappeared.  If I view events there is the same one for all 270 events and if I open an event I have clack thumbnails. I can only see the photo if I open it individually.

    If I view events there is the same thumbnail for all 270 events and if I open an event I have black thumbnails. I can only see the photo if I open it individually.The only way I can then see the thumbnail is by editing each photo. Then to even further complicate matters the last editted phot is replaces as the thumbnail on all events foders!...grrr. This is what I awoke to two mornings ago after inly backing up my machine which I do every night.

    No.  Quitefrankly I didn't know I could even use iPhoto on iPad, I just have the photos app that came on it.  This is on my laptop.  I don't particularly like iPhoto I use it essentially to take photos off my camera and store all the originals.  I use Photoshop. To work on them and store them in Dropbox (don't get me started on iCloud!). As I said this is a problem that seemed to crop up overnight after backing up to my external HD. 

  • Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?

    Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?
    I was trying to save my contacts by importing my contacts to my sim card by going into settings, mail-contacts and then hit the Import SIM Contacts.
    It wiped out ALL of my contacts and I'm freaking out!!
    Can anyone please help?
    Ps. My contacts was the ONLY data NOT sync'd to my iTunes! =(

    You can import TO a SIM. To import, if you look at the button in settings says Import SIM Contacts. That means it is importing, or moving the contacts FROM the SIM to the iPhone. Importing means to take something from the area you are selecting and moving it to the current area, in other words, as others have told you, you imported what was ON the SIM card and since the iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM, you imported NOTHING to a place that had something.
    The way you save and backup contacts on an iPhone is to sync them through iTunes to a supported application on a computer such as Address Book on a Mac, Outlook or Windows Contacts on a Windows machine. If you did not do that prior to the Import attempt, then you will not be able to recover them.

  • HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

    How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone?  Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

    Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • I have accidentally deleted my voice memo when i pressed the 'delete' button, thinking that is to change the name of my voice memo. is there a way to retrieve the memo back?

    I have accidentally deleted my voice memo when i pressed the 'delete' button, thinking that is to change the name of my voice memo. is there a way to retrieve the memo back?
    really do not understand why apple provides just one confusing delete button in its newer ios, instead of the previous versions which actually gives a confirmation button of whether to delete voice memo.

    What system did the Mac come with and what system are you running now? If it's 2 years old, i.e. bought in 2010 then it came with Leaport or Snow Leopard installed and would have had install disks.  Included in those disk would be a disk similar to one of these:
    That would have included iPhoto 8 (09) if bought before October 20, 2010 or iPhoto 9 (11) if bought after that date.  In either case you should have a disk like in the screenshot.  If not then you'll have to purchase an iLIfe 11 boxed disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 and install your missing applications from it and then apply the latest updaters from the Apple Downloads web page/

    First, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.
