I reset my phone and tried to back up to previous back up, except in that time it synced a wiped version. I've lost everything! What should I do?
Hi anyone/everyone,
I restored my phone to factory settings to get rid of my text messages as my iphone wouldn't let me delete them. I had backed up on iTunes before this.
Whilst it it was wiped it somehow must have synced the blank version of my iphone & every time I restored it I couldn't work out why it kept going to the new iphone screen. Then I worked it out and want to tear my hair out.
anyone got any answers on how to in my previous back up?! Please!!! Xxx
Restore from an older backup than the most recent one.
Check under your iTunes Preferences, under Devices, to see when the device was backed up.

Using Tiger 10.4.11 and trying to back up hard drive on time capsule
I have successful set up time capsule to be my base internet station. Now I want to copy my hard drive onto Time Capsule but cannot figure out how to do it. I visited the apple store today in NYC and they folks there suggested I use "migration assistant". I have done this and migration assistant cannot locate my time capsule. I have attached an ethernet cable from my computer to the time capsule and this does not help. Can anyone suggest how I can copy my files from my hard drive to the time capsule? Thanks (as an aside I have leopard and plan to install as soon as I can back up my hard drive on time capsule. Leopard should make back up painless going forward).
I've found a solution, no need to post a response. Thanks!

I would like to use USAToday as my homepage whenever I open Safari. I went to settings and set it for USA..... However, it still opens to the last site I viewed before closing Safari. What do I need to do?

This is normal, if your System Preferences are configured thus:
Check the box if you don't want Safari to reopen the windows that were open last time you used it. -
my friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?
As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

My iPhone does not have Facetime on it. I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before. Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information? I've tried several pass codes and now am locked out for an hour after being locked out for 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. It said that I had tried 7 pass codes prior to these, but I don't remember ever trying to get into restrictions before.
I've looked up other posts on this, and my phone was purchased in the US and does not have an AE in the model number.Help for forgotten passcode > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
When you have access to your iPhone again, FaceTime is a pre installed app that cannot be removed.

I had to reset my phone and I only have one of my ringtones I had 4.. Why'd it delete 3 and not the last one and now I can't get em back without paying for them again!!! What the **** is up with that??
Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

I'm trying to load everything from my phone to computer so I can reset for phone and start clean and when I plug it in the computer nothing comes up and there is a connection what going on
Is your iPhone not showing up in iTunes sidebar, or is iTunes not just launching automatically?
The things that you can check are:
1) Launch iTunes manually
2) Restart or reset your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281)
3) Check your cable including disconnecting and reconnecting it on bot the phone end and the computer USB end.
4) Reboot your computer
5) As a last resort, take it to the Apple Store so they can check the hardware -
I have to hit my home button a half dozen times to make it work. I've tried to reset the phone and update the sorfware. Is this a hardware problem? Where do I go to get it fixed?
At Apple Store this is handled with Replacement iPhone exactly like yours. If there is AppleCare or Warranty it will be covered, otherwise there will be a charge of $150 - $199 depending on iPhone model. If iPhone 5 it will be covered. If you want to try Virtual Home Button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.

My Iphone 4 will not send regular SMS messages. I have tried resetting my phone and by restoring and making sure i have SMS turned on. I receive them but can not send them. imessages work also. Plus my cellular data keeps randomly turning off. any ideas? Thank you
Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

I was downloading the new IOS and message could not find Iphone appears in Itunes window - Now my my phone is stuck with the power symbol and an arrow pointing to the Itunes symbol, I have tried turning off my phone and turning it back on but nothing seems to work
So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again. -
I can't use facetime. I have reset my phone and it is still not working
I Have not been able to use facetime since purchasing the phone a few weeks ago. It's say I'm not available when someone calls me and I don't even see the call. I have tried to troubleshoot with a Apple Rep and hard reset the phone and remove and add facetime back, still not working. Does anyone have any options or had this problem and know a solution?
Where are you, and what carrier do you use? Some countries and carriers don't support FaceTime.

My i-phone stopped receiving e-mail on a regular basis. Rather, it will sit and spin trying to load and then stop. Usually, sometime in the night, it will all of a sudden load all of my mail, but then will not load new mail again. I have updated and reset the phone and network, and the problem remains the same. Does anyone know a fix for this issue?
Try deleting the account, restarting your phone and then reinputting the account.
