I have put my iphone simcard into a nokia lumia 520, now I have no contacts etc. How can I retreive them?
Hi. I have been having problems with my iphone 4s ios 6.?? heating up alot, draining the battery fast. It goes down to about 20% before half the day is over. I still have 4GB left (from a 64GB iphone) and don't have anything functioning, (other than check my emails occasionally and txt). It is also having problems deleting emails. I push edit, then touch the dot next to the emails so I can select which ones to delete, but then the dots all disappear and the editing function goes away. It just goes back to inbox. So I have got a Nokia Lumia phone to try out until I can try and fix those problems. But I have put the sim in it, and now I have no contacts, notes or photos or anything. I backed up my iphone to my itunes on my laptop last night, because I was told to try and do and backup and restore on my iphone 4s, that maybe that would solve the problem. I can't see how it would stop it heating up. So I backed it up, but didn't restore it as I didn't want to wipe everything off my iphone, and it said I had to update to ios 7 in order to restore it. I have read alot of bad stuff about putting ios 7 on iphone 4s, so I don't want to update it. Is there a way I can go to the backup somewhere on my laptop to find all that information? As I had contacts and notes stored on my iphone that I didn't have written down anywhere else, which I need. Now I don't have them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
what I meant about "dont have anything functioning", I didnt mean the phone isn't working. I meant that I have the phone on standby all day. Just use it to check my emails, & fb messenger, thats about it, yet it still drains the battery. I do sync/backup everything to my itunes, most recently was last night. Can I not retreive it somehow so it can be put on the nokia phone? Or so I can at least see the contacts, notes, photos etc on my laptop (wherever the backup data is)? Then just copy it onto the nokia phone? I have also noticed that even going into my facebook messages, it doesnt have the photos that were sent and received whilst I was using my iphone. I thought at least fb would keep them.
From what I mostly read about updating it, alot of the apps dont properly function with the ios 7, as it is made for the iphone 5. People have written that it slows their phones down alot, and the phones can take minutes to dial a call. I prefer not to take that risk and stuff my phone up. At least at the moment its just overheating, the battery is dying fast, and its not deleting emails sometimes. Hope this is of some help.

I have received an iphone 4 as a present ,but it is locked by orange france ! how can i use it in Armenia
You can't unless Orange France authorizes the phone's official unlocking.
Send it back & have whoever sent it to you get it officially unlocked, then send it back to you. Orange will not authorize the phone's unlocking unless you are a customer that used this phone on their network, in France. Obviously not you. -

I recently had to replace my iphone 4s and i lost all of my picture that was stored in photo stream how can I retreive them?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any photos in photostream in the cloud will be returned to the new device when you log into your account and enable photostream, the photos in photostream in the cloud may not mirror the photos in the photostream album on your old phone.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device. -
I restore my iPhone from a backup , and I lost the photos on the device. How can I restore them ?
is there anyway to help to :"?I thinks , I pressed restore, and then it restored everything from the previous backup. Unfortunately the most recent photos and videos were not included so I reckon they are lost forever...
Unless you have any suggestions? -
Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?
Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts. How can I get them back? Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple. They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

When I updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6.0, I lost all of my phone contacts. How can I retrieve them?
Just a guess here, but when you are in Contacts, look to the top where it says Groups. Could yours be set to Hide All Contacts?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?
As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

I tried to update my iphone 4 to the ios 7 and now its on recovery mode. How can i take it off of recovery mode?
Hi _em24,
It sounds like you are having an issue with the upgrade to your iPhone’s version of iOS, a frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you back up and running.
For basic troubleshooting of upgrades, and assuming you are using iTunes to do it, I would suggest using the steps in this article -

If not using iTunes or the above do not produce the desired result, use the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?
They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives? -
Not only the question in Subject line but also My IPhone says my backup is full and has not been backed up for weeks (I think since Jan). So I need help with that as well.
Kinda Technology challenged.

I used my appleid on my husband's phone. Our contacts merged, both phones ring and he sees my texts. I deleted his contacts from my phone and they deleted from his phone also. How can I get my appleid off his phone and retrieve his contacts?
Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

can anyone help me with messages on iphone coming to 2 phones not just the one it was sent too
Sounds like you are sharing an Apple ID. On both devices, go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and remove the checkmarks on everything but the phone number on each device. That will keep the messages separate.

Please help me, i have lost all my contacts during a software update and have no idea how to retrieve them.
If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been keeping your contacts safe on your computer in Outlook or Address Book, or safe with a cloud service like Google.
Your contacts should be there safe and sounds ready to synch back to your iPhone.
Not using your phone as recommended and only using your phone as the sole place for contacts? Well, you've just learned a hard lesson. They're gone.
