I  would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2  to  5.0 or higher how can I do this task  A.  my phone does not have a "update" setting  I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails  ??? C.

I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4  to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ?  I my unable to sign into Itunes    I was told to reset all the settings to "factory"  If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone  (photos, apps, emails, )  Just as if I had a brand new phone ?    I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

    The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID

    Thank you so much

    If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

  • How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

    Highest an eMac can go is 10.5.8...

    Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • Need to open .fcp  project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

    I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

    Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
    A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
    EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

    Flashback is only one possibility.  See About the Flashback malware for information about it and how to get rid of it.
    Unfortunately, these kinds of problems can happen for a variety of other reasons.  There's very little malware that actually can cause a Mac to become part of a botnet.  You could have an infected Windows PC on your network.  (Perhaps because of a visitor or because you're using an open, unencrypted wireless network and have a "squatter.")  Or it could be false positives.
    If you do all the checks mentioned on my Flashback page and still can't find any infection, you need to lock down your wireless network (change the security to WPA2 with a strong password) and check out any Windows machines that are on your network.

  • I would like to update my old Pages 3.0.3 to the newer 4.3.  Do I need to just purchase it new, or is there an update available?

    I would like to upgrade my old Pages 3.0.3 to a newer version.  When I went to the app store I got a message that says "Pages 3.0.3 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store.  Do you want to buy Pages 4.3?"
    I thought I was just buying an upgrade, but now I'm not sure.  If I buy the new one, will all my old stuff still be there?

    There has never been an upgrade path from one version of iWork to the next. Each is a separate purchase & installation.
    You can have more than one version of iWork installed. I have iWork '06, '08 & '09 installed on my iMac. The only reason I don't have iWork '05 is that those are PPC apps, but I do have it installed on my G5 iMac. You shouldn't be storing any documents or, even, templates in the iWork folders in Applications so they would not be lost. The only thing that might happen is that you save them as Pages 4 they will no longer be able to be opened by Pages 3.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • My podcast is now live on itunes but I would like to change the name under the Podcast title from my real name to artist name. How can i do this?

    I have started a podcast page where i will be uploading weekly radio shows. Id like for it to say my artist name not my real name under the Podcast Title but i cant seem to see how to change that. Can someone please help?
    Thank you!

    Your name is normally carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and appears in smaller print above the title. You can change either this or the title itself in the same place in whatever program you are using to make your podcast and reupload the feed. You don't need to take any further action; the Store willn probably take a few days to update.
    However, if you are going to change the title be careful: some podcast creatioin methods give the rss file a filename drawn from the title, and if you change the title it may change that. You can't have that happen because the Store will lose contact with the feed if its URL changes (there is a way round this which I will explain if you really need me to - do not proceed without checking on this). If your feed filename is something like rss.xml or feed.xml then there isn't a problem about the title.

  • HT3406 i bought a i-phone 4s from cex i reset the phone to factory setting ow i am stuck on activion lock and no way to contact preveious owner and cex wont take it back as i dont have the receipt anymore how can i fix this or get in contact with the prev

    You can't fix this, called Activation Lock, & currently there is no way around it. With no way to contact the previous owner, & no way to get your money back, you own a useless paperweight.
    Apple can't/won't help you.
