I just bought my iphone 4s and it keeps saying its unable to complete me

help

I had the same issue yesterday. My friend who works at the Apple store told me just to pop out the SIM card and put it back in. Apparently sometimes they aren't seated property (during packaging or shipping i'd suppose) and therefore don't maintain the proper contacts.
If you don't want to do it yourself, any Apple rep can do it for you. Not sure if they would do so at the phone carrier store or not.

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference.

HT4528 I just bought an IPhone 4s and when I plug it into my Windows 7 Toshiba it does not recoginze the phone...I have already removed the ITunes software along with the rest of the software and reinstalled...no go.I want to transfer phone video to my co

I just bought an IPhone 4s and plugged it into my Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) OS and it failed to recognize the phone. I checked in the tech community and discovered that I need to remove all the software assoicated with the phone and start over....I followed the sequence exactly...reinstalled the software and it still doesn't work. I am trying to download the IPhone 4s video to my computer and without a USB interface that works my memory capactiy will fill up fast....I've already been into the control panel....stopped and restarted the Apple service....I am stuck...can anyone offer some suggestions or knwo if there is a fix for this issue..??
Thanks,
Eric

I solved my own problem....I simply moved the cable to another port while moving the mouse to the USB ports on the opposite side of the computer....and the computr finally recognized the phone...I know it sounds weird but it worked...so if you are having the same problem that had trying removing all the crap you have plugged into the USB ports on your computer THEN plug in your IPhone 4s...use the cable that came with the phone and nothing else...good luck..>!!!

I've just bought a iphone 5 and have an old iphone 3. Apparenty I need to back up the old phone to transfer everything to the new one. How do I do that?

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is thereanotherway to update iPhoto?

Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

Nope.
Did you fail to import them before restoring from backup? If so, then they are gone.
You should import all photos taken with the iphone to your comuter regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.

I just bought an iPhone 4S 3 days ago, but its battery seems to lose 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tuned off some location services, bluetooth, and even siri, and made its settings similar to my two-year old iPhone 4. The 4S can last much shorter.

I am having the exact same problem with my iphone 5.
I took it back to the Apple store 2 days ago and they gave me a new one, but they told me not to restore it from backup cos if something (an app) is corrupted it will happen again. The only thing they could keep was my contacts cos they did something there that allowed them to transfer them to the new phone. I went home, and downloaded only ONE app (facebook), and guess what - THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING ON THE BRAND NEW PHONE! It is driving me insane as I cant get through the day without my phone.
Really hoping someone has a fix that will work

I just bought an iPhone 4s and synched it yesterday. I backed up the old phone (a 3GS), then restored all that to the 4S. It generally worked well, except it truncated all SMS messages after October 20. Can I get the new messages on the new phone?

It generally worked well, except all SMS messages after October 20 were not there. How do I get the newest messages from the old phone on the new phone? (I wouldn't mind getting ALL the SMS messages...)
Thanks for any help.

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

I just bought the iphone 4s and when I have loss calls the telephone does not work?

i cant turn off, i cant do anything
should I droop it?

I know this sounds really basic, but did you remove the protective plastic film? I was going to leave mine on for protecting the screen and had the same issue. I removed it as it was the source of the problem.
Good luck!

I just bought the iPhone 4s and I cannot get my account set up on iTunes.

I just bought the iPhone 4s and everytime I try to set up my credit card info on iTunes I get this message: "Your credit card information does not match your bank records. Please enter a U.S. credit card and matching billing address." Help. Info is correct! I even tried to copy and paste it from my bank website and the message still pops up??? I tried it multiple times on my iPhone and multiple times on my HP PC. Any ideas???? Has this happened to anyone else?

A couple of things to try: What to do if your iPhone or iPad will not turn on
And: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If neither of these resolve the problem the phone is almost certainly broken.
