I recently updated my iPhone's 3GS software to iOS 5.1...Is there any way to remove the camera button from the lock screen?
Heeelp?!...
I did just that, good idea.
I stated in my feedback message that I feel it disturbing that someone handling my iPhone, but not having the passcode, can take photos with my phone. Photos of --<sigh>--Lord knows what. While the phone's usually in my pocket or otherwise close to my person, that's not always the case.
Now, I'll grant that it is nice to have the option to allow someone to take a photo with my phone without also giving them access to everything else. In fact, that's a very nice little tidbit. I'd just like to have the flexibility to prevent people from taking pics with my phone, should they happen to have it in hand and feel the urge to add to my camera roll even without my approval. There's real opportunity for mischief in this.

Is there any way to retrieve deleted texts messages from the IPhone 5C?
I accidentally deleted the wrong texts, and was wondering if there was a way Verizon, or the IPhone could recover the deleted messages...
Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software). Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.

The following says how to restore from backup.
iOS: How to back up
If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore. -
I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M. -

I set a restriction password to my child's iphone 3gs and have forgotten it. Is there any way to recover it? And if I do an update will that delete password? This is all new to me so thanks in advance!

No.

No. To remove a forgotten restrictions passcode requires restoring the device as "New" in iTunes, NOT from backup. -
i have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?
Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

My company will not allow us to download iOS 7 due to software / security issues on our end. The problem is I need to download numbers but it says I need iOS 7. Is there any way to get an earlier update of numbers that's doesn't require ios7?
Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks. Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?
No. You must connect your iPad to a computer (it does not have to be yours) in order to restore it to factory settings.
Once you're home, you can restore it from a backup.
Any content that you did not backup has been lost.

I've recently purchased an iPhone after years of using a Blackberry. Is there a way for me to transfer all my contacts directly
Your wireless provider should be able to do that at one
of their retail locations.
If not, you need to get the information from the blackberry to the
appropriate program in your computer (for example Outlook on
a PC, Contact on a Mac) and then when you connect your iPhone
to that computer and open iTunes, you will be given a choice to
sync that data from the computer to your iPhone.
If you can get the information from your blackberry to google contacts,
you can sync to iPhone from there. -
The computer that had my iTunes account on has broken, and was thrown away.
All the media I bought on it are on my iPhone only - is there any way to re-open my iTunes on the new computer or to download them off my iPhone?
I'm worried that if I lose my iPhone all will be lost. Please help!
Thanks,
AlastairBuy yourself a backup drive. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone???
Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone that has been synced to Itunes account???
SMS's are not synced through iTunes. Your SMS history is stored on your phone and also included as part of your iPhone backup. To view SMS's on your computer requires either extracting them from your phone or from your iPhone backup. Either or requires third-party software, as such is not supported by Apple. clayfromherriman has given you a way to extract from your backup. To extract from your phone, you can use this:
