    You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

    Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.

    Try using these steps to stop Lost Mode from iCloud.com:
    Stop Lost Mode or change your contact info
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device that’s in Lost Mode.
    Click Lost Mode, then change the information or click Stop Lost Mode.

  • My iMessage for some reason will not let me activate my phone number.

    I have had an iPhone 5 for almost a year now, and had not had any problems with it until about a month ago, when it suddenly stopped letting me send iMessages from my phone number. I have tried everything from turning iMessage on and off, to resetting my network settings, to doing a hard reset on my device. When I text friends, they recieve two different conversations - one from my phone number and one from my apple ID through iMessage, depending on if it was a text or iMessage. The option to choose my number from iMessage is there, but is greyed out and will not let me choose it, and any attempts to reset it just result in a "waiting for activation..." message that doesn't go anywhere. I have checked with my carrier, Verizon, and it is not something that is coming from their end...and from what I've seen, a lot of other users have been having this problem since the ios7 update. Is there any way to fix this?

  • IOS 7.0 now it will not let me unlock my phone

    The screen is not froze but it doesn't let me slide to unlock

    Yes, I have same problem. Only way you can come out of that screen is- you need to call your phone from another phone, after that it will work. But the problem is- it is occuring again. You can try this method, if it won't work then try- hard reset as told by Andy.

  • I downloaded song from my backup drive and now they will not sync in itunes with my itouch

    I downloaded some music from my external drive to itune and it synced with my itouch but now will not sync or play on my new iphone.. has a "!" in column?

    See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Difficult to say without a little more information. Why can you not simply download the latest version and apply the serial number to convert it from "trial" to "licenced"?

  • I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

    I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
    Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
    Any ideas on how to get it working again?

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!
