I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • I recently rented a movie from itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it is not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get money back?

    I recently rented a movie in itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it's not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get my money back?

    Are you sure you don't have a 5G iPod video?  If so, rented movies are not compatible with that particular generation/model of iPod.
    Otherwise, it sounds like the rental is in HD.  It should have came with a Standard Definition version instead.

  • (IPhone 5S) Music won't show up on PC and Can't get songs on pc to Phone

    Recently I bought a new computer (Windows 8.1). I used to be able to connect my iPhone into my laptop (same operating system) and my music would go into my phone. With my new computer I cannot get the songs from my phone into my computer. I also imported 2 CD's into the new computer but can't get the songs onto my phone. The new Itunes update made everything more confusing. Now I can't seem to navigate through anything. What can I do? Thanks for the help.

    Delete iTunes following this set of instructions http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT1925 and reinstall iTunes from a fresh download.
    Make sure you follow the sequence of uninstall processes before reinstalling.
    Hope this helps.

  • I took a photo using burst mode on my 5S and can't get the picture off my phone

    I took a  photo using burst mode on my iPhone 5S.  The "burst" consists of 4 photos, originally.  I have picked my favorite and deleted the others.  Still, I am unable to get that photo off of my phone using Photo Stream, or e-mail.
    Normally, my photos end up in Photo Stream and I can access them from my computer, but this photo that used to be part of a burst, and even while it WAS a burst, doesn't appear in my Photo Stream nor can I email it to myself.  I was able to eventually SMS the photo to a colleague who then emailed it back to me, so now it's on my computer but why can't I get that image off of my iPhone using my usual and straight-forward methods??
    I was able to pull it off using iPhoto so that works.  My burst only had 4 photos but like I said, I picked my favorite and deleted the rest and I could never e-mail it to myself or access it on my computer using Photo Stream.
    Thanks.

    This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
    Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

  • Rented movies on itunes and can't get them to transfer to phone? Help!

    Rented movies on the Itunes store to download to Iphone 4 and with the new Itunes version I can't figure out how to transfer the to my phone. How do I transfer them so that I can watch them on my flight?

    Sorry but your post is not clear.... What are you trying to do?
    Are you trying to sync them to the iPad from iTunes on your computer? If you are ....Sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps (games) in the apps list that you want to sync..

  • I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers.  Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared.  Now just a phone number.  What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

    Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc.  Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name.  What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored.  When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

    After setting up an "Exchange" mail account on my device, iPad/iPhone, it requires a new passcode to be set before data will be downloaded. I did this on the iPad and now have to enter that passcode everytime I turn it on. How do I avoid needing to enter a passcode on my iPhone everytime I turn it on?

    The passcode is a requirement set by the administrator of the Exchange server you are connecting to.
    It is purely for security purposes.
    If you do not want the passcode, you must remove the Exchange account. There is no way around it.

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

  • I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
