I just inherited my brother's iphone 4 but i dont have any information for it how do i get started?

My brother died and I have his iphone 4. Unfortunately I don't have any information for it and its locked. How can i get into it? How will I be able to use it if at all?

If it has a passcode lock, click here and follow the instructions.
If it has an activation lock, take the device, its original purchase receipt, and his death certificate to a physical Apple Store.

    Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily  be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo  Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well.  Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
    Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically".  Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

    Reinstall them from your original install disks or your backup.

    To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
    It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

    I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

    If you have deleted all the photos from your iPhone you can't get them back.  The only place they might exist is if you backed them up to iPhoto if you have a Mac.  If you have iCloud and Photo Steam enabled, then the last 100 photos would be saved in your Photo Stream.

  • Where can i find my photos from my iphone if i dont have any backups?

    where can i find my photos from my iphone if i dont have any backups?

    Photo Stream, if they were uploaded to it within the last 30 days. Assuming you no longer have the phone or it's not working, that's it. If you didn't back them up, they're gone.

    If you mean you hacked it as opposed to an official carrier unlock (since it must have been carrier locked in order for you to need to unlock it), then you're on your own.
    There's no telling what's wrong with it now that you've done that.

        pamalushka54,
    We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

  • I purchased songs via my iPhone but lost it when syncing with itunes. How do I get them back?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sure this happened to some of you before but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I purchased music direct via my iPhone but when I synced with iTunes some of my albums were missing. What is also weird is that the digital booklets have synced but I can't find the songs. How do I get them back?
    I know that Apple has a policy to not downloading twice but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm not all that confident either so would really appreciate the help.
    Cheers.

  • HT3702 I have a ipod 4th generation and on my itunes it keeps asking me for my security cards # but i dont have it is there a way i can get that number without the card itself

  • I cant enter app store , it requires credit card but i dont have any?

    When i register my new Apple id , it tells me that im verified but, when i tried to get in to the appstore they told me that my apple id hasnt been able to get into the appstore because i should require a credit card but i dont have one.
    Im trying to find the "None" sign but it doesnt have any. They only have 3 options for credit card. Visa, Mastercard, Amex.
    Can someone help me with this?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • I just updated to the newest version of Itunes and everything has disappeared from my library. It is still on my iphone, but there is nothing in my library. How do I get it back?

    I just updated itunes to 10.6.
    Windows. Vista. (up to date)
    Everything is the library has gone - no apps, music, videos etc.
    Playlists have gone.
    Everything on the iPhone is still there.
    I can't sync because everything will then get deleted from the phone and replaced with the (empty) library.
    How can I get it all back to normal?

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

  • I put my ipod on lock mode from "find my iphone" but I fogot the password I used. How to I get out of it?

    So I lost my ipod 5 and then I turned on lock mode using Find my iphone. But then I found my ipod and being stupid, I forgot the password. I looked up what
    I'm suppose to do and it said I had to go onto icloud and delete the device from icloud. I did that but it said, my ipod wont restart until I connect to the internet.  When I connect to itunes, it says i need to go onto icloud and turn of find my iphone, or in this case ipod. I already did that though.
    I also cant connect to the wifi. It wont let me turn it on. I think when it went into lock mode, it turned of the wifi. I cant reset my ipod unless its connected to the internet. I have no idea what to do. Help, please.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • My iphone 4 shows email but i dont have any

    My iPhone 4 shows 11 emails (exchange) but I don't have any new emails.  I have used my computer to clear all my emails and still after sync, my iPhone still shows the 11 new emails.  I have moved all the emails to my read file and still shows the same 11 emails.  WTH? Help!

    Jawad
    Since you haven't upgraded your iPhone from 4.3 there will also not be an iCloud back-up.,,, so.....
    So there is no way to restore it, but before you start rekeying your contacts you should.
    1.  Back it up on Itunes (11.0.1) and a computer, it will help you upgrade your IOS (6.0.1) at the same time.
    2.  When complete ensure you have a back-up.
    3.  Set-up iCloud and iCloud back-up
    4.  Start keying....
    Sorry in advance..
