I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

I can't access my gmail or hotmail on my phone. I had to change the passwords on the computer today. I went in through settings on my phone and changed the passwords but it still says they are incorrect. How can I fix this???

For gmail you could try unlocking your account here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. Don't know about hotmail.

Emails generated by the Contact Form widgets are saying they are coming from me rather than the person who has generated the email?

Can I change the emails generated by the Contact Forms from saying that they are coming from me, to the address of the person that's actually generated the enquiry on the contact form? Or does this always automatically link back to my Creative Cloud account because thats how I'm hosting the websites?

Because they ARE coming from you (at least from your account)... this is the account the website is using to send the form to your email and this means that a user visiting your website can send you this email "EVEN" when they don't own an email account themselves.
No you can't legialy change the address to theirs... thats a big no no in most countrys but you can and should have a "contacts" field on your form that allows people to give you a email or phone number so that you can follow up.
p.s. many people make the mistake of trying to force email contacts in their forms and that offen turns people off using them if they MUST tell you the colour of their underware just to contact you about a sales offer or simple question then don't expect to get much feed-back from your forms.

Supposedly people are not receiving my texts. (says undeliverable) my daughter says they are coming from my email to her?? could i have possibly clicked something in error where i am sending via the wrong messages? is anyone able to assist?

Ive been sending messages on my iphone 5s fine until about a week or two ago. now people are saying they are getting "message undeliverable" when sending me a message. (even when I send and go back to check, I don't even see the text I sent there) I may have accidently clicked something to change the way I send my messages. Any suggestions?

I know that one does, but should the SMS be turned off or on? Something had to have accidently been changed when I was going through it. ??

Also, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability.

I've reset my iPhone 4S, my photos are gone but when I plug it into iTunes it still says they are there, can I get them back?

I reset my iPhone 4S and my photos have now gone, the albums are still there but no photos even though when I look at my storage and plug it into iTunes it still says that majority of my memory is to the amount of photos I have. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos back?

last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTunes when I try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off iTunes Match, then reinstalled it, but that does not seem to work. I also get another Error Code (4010) sometimes. Can someone offer advice?

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTuens when try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off Match, then reconnected, but the code keeps coming. So does Error Code 4010 at times. Can someone help?

iTunes store, App Store, iTunes Match and various other services have been down for the past several hours. Apple's System Status page at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ now shows them back up but they are STILL NOT up for me or many other users. The error codes 4000 series refer to connection errors, I've gotten several from 4001-4010 all day. We're kind of at the mercy of Apple at this point. It would be nice if they would give us some notification about their problems since we are paying for their service.

Facetime phantom calls and calls that are not from who they say they are

My wife has an iPhone 4 and twice in the last week Facetime calls that say they are coming from her mother have been originated by someone other than her mother. The second time this happened the stranger made an obscene gesture. Since Apple is routing the call over the Internet, and since the iPhone is obviously phoning home, it should be easy for Apple to know the source and destination but when my wife called the Apple tech seemed to just want to read a script instead of investigate this potentially serious breach of security. In addition to these two incidents there have been numerous others where her displays says her mother is calling via Facetime but yet her mother is not calling. Seeing as my wife Facetimes with her mother, with my children getting on the phone as well, I find this possible issue is worth more than a reset your settings on the phone reply. Has anybody else heard of or seen issues like this?

This is wild, this just happened to us.
My husband and I both have iPhone 4's. I left my iPhone on my bed in a room by itself while my husband and I were downstairs in the Family Room together.
His phone starts ringing and it's a FaceTime from me, but I'm in front of him and my phone is upstairs.
Ok, so of course if this is simply an breach of our phone protocol - that concerns me of course. But to be honest, I'm relieved to know there's a reasonable explanation - because otherwise we would have to call 911 to do a more thorough search for intruders in our house.
But seriously, what's going on here. My husband and I want to disable Facetime altogether. Why have it if it won't work securely?

I just bought an iPhone 5, and tried to sync it to my iTunes account but when connected it says: “...cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later.” However when I try to get iTunes to update it says: “This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version.” Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference.

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone. Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone. The downloads seems to go thru and then install. But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away. I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update. Help!!!!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When I try to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library. How do I get back to my original library.

I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When iffy to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library and will only let me transfer purchased items. How do I get back to my original library.

If you do a restore you will lose everything. Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

HT1414 its saying on itunes that my backup is corrupt so i went to edit preferences devices and deleted all my backups however its still saying the same

I have recently purchased a iphone 5 and i am trying to back up the phone however its saying the back up is corrupt so i went to edit preferences devices and deleted the backups however its still saying the backup is corrupt and not letting me sync my music

If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back.

HT1977 ive just bought an iphone 4 but the seller says it is dual sim and doesnt have itunes is this a dodgy phone

hi i have just bought an iphone 4 off the web have been told its dual sim and doies not have itunes is this a dodgy iphone??

If it does indeed have dual SIM slots, it's a fake. No iPhone has ever had more than one SIM slot.
Regards.
