Please help me.Sounds like you may need to place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to allow for the full restore ...follow steps below to get into recovery mode and then restore...
Turn off your iPhone by holding the "Sleep/Wake" button for about five seconds and then sliding the red slider. If your iPhone is already off, there's no need to turn it on and then off again. Once it's turned off, press and hold the "Home" button and plug the iPhone into your Mac or PC. Keep holding the "Home" button until you see a dock cable pointing to the iTunes icon. iPhones running older software will display a yellow triangle and text which says "Please Connect to iTunes". You can now release the Home button.
Open iTunes (if it's not already open) and you will be told that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode". Click "OK" and you will be taken to the iPhone pane. Click restore and you're done, it's that easy! Depending on the extent of your iPhone's ills, it may take some time to do a full restore. Once you're done, you should again have a perfectly working iPhone.
If this doesn't fix your problem, your iPhone may require a visit to the Genius Bar. -
1000s of versions and duplicates needing major clean up + sorting, help?
Please forgive me if this question has been posted and answered before, but rather like the problem I am facing it's hard to see the wood for the trees.
Over the years I have backed up on a hard drive several thousand photos from various versions of iPhoto, the last one iPhoto 6. These are scattered in many folders in varying resolutions, some with given names, others with the camera generated names like P1009....JPG etc. Some are entire iPhoto libraries backed up at different times. Many many duplicates in many folders.
I now have a shiny new MacBook Pro with iPhoto 9 and Time Machine.
How do I sort through all these photos, get rid of duplicates and end up with one consolidated library of only the original hi res versions?
Ideally need a button that says" *"find and delete duplicates, only keep original highest res versions and then sort them in date creation order".*
Thanks in advance.1. I noticed I have iPhoto Library Manager already bought and installed on the old PowerBook G4. Can this copied and transferred onto the new MacBook Pro?
One for the makers of iPhoto Library Manager. Drop them a line. AFAIK it should be okay. But I would download the latest version.
2. When launching and merging libraries set to avoid duplicates how will it know to keep original hi res versions and avoid lo res duplicates.
Again, as question for the iPhoto Library Manager people. But be sure the phrase it differently. If one file is Hi res and the other is Lo res, then they are not, by definition, duplicates
Any iPhoto Library will contain up to three versions of the same photo: The Original, the Modified (if the pic has been editied) and the Thumbnail used for display in the iPhoto Window. iPhoto Library Manager negotiates these versions. So, if you merge libraries it preserves the relationship between these versions.
3. Before getting your reply I came across Duplicate Annihilator. Any good, does the same job or something else?
Only useful for Duplicates in iPhoto - and very good at that. Ideally the process I outline will avoid same. But it's there as a fall-back

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?
There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account. -

I don't know why whenever i choose " check for updates " and download itunes 11.1 on my desktop , it never shows any downloads .. even when i tried downloading it from the website, and i need itunes 11.1 so i can restore my iphone again .. help please
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I need to reset my ipad, but not my iphone. Please help?
I Need to reset my iPad mini to factory default without resetting my iphone. Please Help?
Doing a reset only requires that you hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The device will restart. This would have no affect on your other device. If you are speaking of a restore, even that will only affect the device that you do the restore on, not both devices. Can you explain what you think the problem is, or what you are experiencing?

i need unlock iphone 4s , previously used for sprint about 2 years ago, out of contract now. would like to use it fro other carrier . Cant though before you HELP ME! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
Contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can authorize an unlock. No one else can. If they refuse to unlock, there is nothing you can do but sell the device and get another phone.

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?
One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter. -
I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks
Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

Going between apps they continue to reset. I can no longer do what I need my iphone for.
Going between apps they continue to reset. I can no longer do what I need my iphone for. I've looked for a solution and haven't found one. This seems to be a gigantic blunder in the latest evolution of iOS. I used to love iphone but now it's like a curse. Thanks for any help you can give.
Can you be more specific? What does "going between apps they continue to reset" mean?

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5. -
I have a problem with iphone 3gs please help
ok my iphine was jail broken and i restored it as it was and now its stuck on recovery mode and i cant restore it everytime i do it gives me the message with 1015 i thikn please help me if u have a solution.
If I understand correctly, you are in Romania and the phone was bought from Sweden. In order to unlock that device, you have to have the carrier in Sweden unlock it. If your phone just won't power on, then wjosten has provided the steps needed to try and power it on. Otherwise, if you want the phone "unlocked" or if it has been "jailbroken" or an unauthorized version of software has been put on the iphone, nobody can help you here.
