I just got an Iphone 4 today - as did my daughter - we activated our phones which are both working but she is getting all my texts! HELP!
My daughter and I both have phones - she a Blackberry and myself the IPHONE 3Gs - today we both got the IPHONE 4's - all are activated and working but SHE is getting all my texts! What can we do to stop this!
I assume those are iMessage texts - blue bubbles. That's because you have the same Apple ID, and you have set up iMessage to use your Apple ID. On each phone, go to Settings/Messages, scroll down to and tap on Send & Receive and choose either different email addresses or different phone numbers.
Alternatively, get separate Apple IDs. Otherwise all of your music and Apps will be duplicated also. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

I upgraded to an iphone 6 today. I had all my contacts attached to a particular ring tone on my 5s; they are all gone. How do I find the ringtones I created from real music over the past few years and re-load and assign them to my contacts?
Unfortunately you have to convert Mp3 to M4r to work now. Spent 2 hours to figure this out.
See below !!!
Apple® iTunes® can also be used to convert an MP3 to M4R but the process is a little involved and the directions might be slightly different depending on the version. In general, the imported MP3 must be first converted to the AAC format (which is essentially the same as M4P), then manually renamed from an MP4 to an M4R file.
To use iTunes® to convert an MP3 files to M4R, add the MP3 file to your iTunes® Library. Right-click on the file once more, and choose "Create ACC version" from the popup menu. (This will only appear if you select under iTunes Preferences > General > Import Settings > Import Using AAC Encoder
on a MAC:
Now navigate to the folder where iTunes® has saved this file (or Right Click and Show in Finder ). It should have created 3-4 different versions there.. Mp3, m4a and M4r. Select the M4r version and drag over to TONES in iTunes...now sync your phone with iTunes
On a PC
Now navigate to the folder where iTunes® has saved this file (or Right Click and Show in Finder ). Use the computer’s Search feature to find the file name, or look in the default Music folder, then inside the iTunes® folder. Scroll down until you find the saved file, which will be an M4A file.
Drag the file to the Desktop (a copy will be generated), then go into iTunes® and delete the original file. The Desktop copy will remain.
Return to the Desktop and rename the ringtone file with an M4R extension. If you cannot see file extensions, go to Folder Options (via Control Panel) and under the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and try again. Once the file has been successfully renamed, click on it and iTunes® will import it into the Ringtones folder. Synch your iPhone® to upload the ringer. -

Hello. I just got the iPhone 5s today and I did a restore from icloud to it but none of my apps transferred. I checked on my computer and only Facebook and candy crush show up. How can I get them back?
Try restoring the backup again. Your apps and other purchased media should have been restored from your backup if they were on your old phone when you backed it up.

Hi. So i had an iphone 4s. The phone was completely destroyed it was cracked, water damged, and now lost. I had about 1500 pictures on there. I just got an iphone 4 today and synced my icloud to find that no pictures loaded. Talked to apple and they want $250 and it's not guaranteed. So please help me find my pics and how i can pleasssee get them back. Very important pictures with a lot of memories. The pics were all on my camera roll of the 4s!!please help!!!
If you ever backed it up while these photos were on it, restoring another iOS device to the backup should recover them. If the backup was done with iTunes rather than iCloud, you may also be able to extract the photos from the backup on your computer by using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/).

Hi,
Just got an iphone 5S today. Now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer - which I don't want happening............any thoughts?
Thanks.Assuming that Chris is correct, you can set up the account on the phone as a POP3 account. This will allow you to delete mail from the phone without deleting it from the server, but it also means that you will have to delete mail from the phone separately, so you will have to delete mail twice, once from the phone and once from your computer.
If you want to do that see: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account -
i just got my iphone 5c today and i tryed to connect it to my windows 8 computer and connect it to itunes but its not showing up on either on. what should i do? i already uninstalled and re-insstalled itunes and its till a problem
Hello, bluebelle95.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Hi Victoriahernandez10,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone. If you are having issues receiving iMessage messages across your iPhone and your Mac, you may want to double-check that your phone number and your Apple ID are correctly linked and that all your contact addresses/numbers are set up, as outlined in the following article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
You may also be interested in the new SMS feature of Continuity for Yosemite and iOS 8. This enables similar functionality for SMS and MMS messages:

My daughter and I both have an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account so she doesn't get all my texts and contacts. Please help
Hi Shellyk,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and make sure that only your personal email addresses are listed under the individual phone number.Remove the "shared" iCloud email address.
For the Contacts, if you are syncing them via iCloud and you both have the same iCloud account, you will both have the same Contact list.
Cheers,

I just got an iphone 4s and went to itunes to get all the stuff that I had on my last phone onto my new phone. I think that I have put all my setting for my old phone onto my new phone. My old phone being a iphone 4. Is there anyway I can get my phone back to how I got it earlier today?
No, no one here can help you, & neither can/will Apple. Only Orange can authorize the unlocking of your phone, & typical of most carriers, they will only do so for customers using the phone on their network.
Either establish service with Orange, then request the phone be unlocked, or sell it to someone that can use it on their network. -
Hi everyone I just got a IPhone 5s today and I had a 4s I can't find all of my apps how do I do this
Hey I got a IPhone 5s today and I have tried to load my apps from my IPhone 4s onto the new one but i am missing stuff
How are you trying to load them? You should be able to do it via iTunes but you can also do it by tapping App Store on the 5S then Updates in the lower right then Purchased at the top. Apps already installed will have "Open" at the right and those not installed will have a cloud download icon at the right. You can tap on that to install them. You would want to be on Wi-Fi at the time.

Just got a I Phone 4. I typed my wifi password to connect to my wifi but don't see a "connect" button or "enter". I tried "join" but it did nothing? How do I connect to my wi-fi so I don't use cell minutes when at home? Also, How do I know for sure by looking at the phone if the phone is utilizing the wi-fi versus cellular data minutes?
You need to read the manual.
If you are connected to wi-fi, you will see the wi-fi symbol instead of "3G" by the signal strength bar.

Hi,
I've just bought an Iphone 5s, I'm trying to sync it to transfer all my info from my iphone 4 but when I click on continue to restore from this back up, it's asking for a password. I didn't have a password for the previous phone. Can anyone help?If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, & you don't know the encrypted passcode, the backup will be unusable & you will not be able to recover any data from it. Encrypting an iPhone backup is not done automatically. You, or someone, had to elect to encrypt it to begin with, and no, there is no default passcode.
Did you have an Exchange account on your iPhone 4? It is common for Corp. Exchange accounts to require an iPhone backup be encrypted. If you did, you might try your Exchange password. -
