I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one...
I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one and they activated it at the iphone store. when i got home and tried to sync my contacts, they were gone. there are a few contacts that it imported but only about 25% of my original list. I think the contacts that it is syncing is from the mac address book. I have had problems with this phone and recently re-installed the sim card and had to restore my contacts and it worked fine. but this time when i plug the iphone in to itunes, it doesnt recognized the phone with "my name" on it. it just says iphone under the devices tab. where are my contacts? are they stored somewhere else on the mac where i can retrieve them?
Please help!
thanks

coachhomer,
With the iPhone, contacts are not stored on the SIM card, but stored on the device itself. Typically, you want to backup your iPhone contacts with a program on your computer (like Address Book or Outlook) so you have those contacts in case you need to restore your iPhone or get it replaced. When you sync your iPhone with your computer, iTunes will make a backup of your information, but future syncs replaces your backup.
You can look and see if your old backup remains by going into the iTunes preferences and clicking on the syncing tab. It will give you the name of the iPhone backed up and the last date it backed up the information. If you synced your iPhone before you took it in to be replaced, your contact information may still be included in that backup. You can restore your phone in iTunes and choose the backup you want to re-sync to the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Recently my iPod touch 4th gen. was stolen. I have had it for two years, so I don't have a warranty on it anymore. I reported it to the police, but what will apple do? This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement. -

What happens when you manually open iTunes?
Is your iTunes the current version (11.0.4)? -

You need to pay your mobile network provider for the calls, SMS and data you need to use your phone. This is an ongoing charge, usually paid monthly.
This is nothing to do with Apple. Apple only provided the handset - not the mobile network you use it on. -
My new ipod 3g won't hold a charge. The genius bar reset my old iPod thinking that would solve the problem. It did not. It continued to discharge over night. They then thought I had some corrupted something, somewhere, but did nothing about it. They gave me a new iPod. It however is also discharging. If I do have a problem somewhere, why doesn't it affect my iPhone, which never seems to need a fresh charge. Please advise.
Unfortunately, I am somewhat of an expert on this issue. The problem is with the Charge design. I'm very sure Verizon & Samsung know all about this defect in the hardware The issue is with a hardware switch that gets stuck and drains the battery. It seems to be connected with the camera part. I have exchanged my phone like 5 times, hoping for a better outcome... same problem each time. Finally, when it was out of warranty, the only solution left was to do the hard reset thing, thereby losing all your programs, etc. You will notice after the complete reset that everything works fine for awhile, until you do something that triggers that switch, which I have tracked down to the camera. If you don't use the camera, no problems. One big clue, for me anyway, was when the problem is starting, I lose access to my SD memory card apps.
I HAVE managed to recover my phone just a few days ago without the hard reset, as JCO23 mentioned above. Remove your memory card, restart your phone. When the phone is fully booted, insert your memory card, and it will "mount" just like during startup. Then go to your apps and delete a few at a time. btw, it might crash during this process, in which case you need to start again. keep removing apps a few at a time until the only apps left are the ones stored on the phone itself, not your memory card. You will notice it is now stable, at some point.
I'm also sure by now, you've gotten the usual Verizon response to buy a new phone. I can't wait... I am tired of resetting my phone and losing my apps all the time. -
I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one. My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.
There is no limit on warranty replacements.
As long as it is defective,not damaged -

Now i can give my wife my old iphone and i will get the new one
both of us will be very happy...thanks apple...win win...peace
rastafari
and no i do not feel apple screwed me over by making improvements on their product...EVERYONE knew this was coming and made the decision because they needed it the way it worked as a 2g phone...and for all we know the 3g may have a flaw and the old phones will be hot commodities...Ummm--you're taking the new phone (from what I can gather from your post) and giving your wife the old phone. HOW IS SHE GETTING A PHONE THAT COSTS "a couple hundred less"?????
YOU ARE GETTING A CHEAPER PHONE...she's just getting your "cast-off".
It's nice that you're giving your wife your "old" phone...but it's not special and you shouldn't feel especially proud. If you didn't have a wife...what would you do with this phone when you get the new one? -
" fault code,,,,,waiting for activation, this may take some time,,,,," O2 gave my gf the contract and the new sim card to go into my old iphone 3g which was with O2 previous, O2 have assured us that the phone's imei number is not blocked, they have also said the sim is activated and there is no reason why the phone should not work. the phone is out of date warranty. the sim card does work in other handsets, also my sim from my iphone 3gs does not work in the iphone 3g. i have spent hours litterally on the phone to O2 and now to apple, but because i am out of warranty apple want £25 just to even listen to me over the phone. someone please help me. i am getting very frustrated for hopefully what might be an easy fix for someone. i have done all the resets that are possibly humainly possible, i have done all the resores you can do, have sync'd on many occasions all to come up with the same fault. i am still getting O2 in the top left corner but with no bars and when trying to call it fails imediately. wifi is fine, it works as an ipod.
ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

I gave my iphone for servis and the sailman return to me another one that has been used, without giving more details, telling me that this is the way apple does business. IS THAT TRUE?
A refurbished until should appear identical to a new unit...you should not be able to tell the difference. If your unit is truly "used"...scratches, signs of use, etc., then Apple's warranty terms were not followed.
All refurbished units receive new cases & batteries, at a minimum...that's why you can't tell the difference. -
I sent in my ipod to get fixed and they sent me a new one. Can i get my photos and data back?
I really need my photos back.
- If photos are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If the photos are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
Note that Apple said:
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No, you will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data and songs. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod and does not offer any data transfer service.
iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, you can back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Following service, your replacement iPod touch may have a newer version of the operating system (iOS) and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). You may also need to update your App Store apps for compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an app purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the app developer directly.

HT4061 I bought a new Iphone and when I started the new one, the old is disabled
I´ve just bought a new Iphone 5c, but I still have the 3G and would like to keep it running with a different tel number.
But as soon as I started the new Iphone the old one started to to accept my passcode and now is disabled.
How can I unlock and back it up.:?Typically, when someone replaces an iPhone with a newer model and uses the same telephone number, the old iPhone's telephone connection is disabled, but the iPhone still works (nuch like an iPod Touch). Is that your situation?
