Yesterday, I downloaded I.O.S. 8 to both my iPhone and my wife's iPad at the same time. She wants I.O.S. 8 removed. How do I remove it from both devices? I am willing to resort to my old IOS7.1.2.

Sorry...downgrading is not supported.

I just bought my IPhone and am also getting the the Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. This is after following the uninstall/reinstall instruction. This needs to be fixed!!!

HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

While loading ITunes Igot this messege, Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. My question is, How do I verify if I have sufficient privileges?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I have realised over time I have created multiple accounts. I have bought music on my iphone and am not able to locate the account that I made most of my purchases on. I have bank statements on the purchases but don't know how to contact someone to help.

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

HT4489 The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import vCards from my address book on to my iCloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas

The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import contacts which i thick are called vCards from my address book on to my iCloud through the options menu on icloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas? Really want to get this sorted if i could
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.

My contacts sync on my iPhone and iPad but my calendars don't m?..

My contacts sync with my iPhone and iPad I cannot get my calendars to sync??

I don't know how you have your sync set up configured but ....
Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes if it doesn't start on it's own.
If you auto sync, let the sync process complete but do not disconnect the iPad when it's done syncing.
Click on your iPad name on the left sidebar under the Devices heading
Click on the Info Tab at the top on the right side of the iTunes window
Click on Sync ... Calendars.
Click on All Calendars or choose the ones that you want to sync.
Click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes Window.
This article should provide more insight on some other possibilites as well.

If you Google "syncing calendars with iPad" there are many more tips, articles and tutorials available.

I just got a new iphone4. I want to transfer my contacts from my old iphone but itunes is not doing it

I just got a new iphone and want to transfer my contacts from my old iphone, and photographs. when I sync it has not transfered anything to the new phone. thanks.

In iTunes, did you click your iPhone under "devices" then go through the tabs to set things up? There's one setting that you need to check to sync contacts.

I synced my daughters ipod touch with my apple account and now all of her contacts are on my iphone and my contacts are gone. What happened???

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.
