The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.

Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer.

If I buy an unlocked iPhone in Canada will it work in the UK?

Hello,
I'm going to Canada for a week in October. I was planning on buying an iPhone 5 for my daughter for christmas and noticed it was a lot cheaper in Canada so I was wondering if I bought an unlocked iPhone 5 in Canada could I put a o2 sim in it? And will it work in the UK?
Thanks

I am talking A1429 GSM which has bands 1,3,5
I assume this is not available in North America .( it is not )
Just found chart which identifies the models by geography
Another very good reason for not cross bordering
Thanks for the pointers

Unlocked iPhone 5 bought in Canada not working in Brazil

Hello folks!
I'm experiencing a disappointing issue here. I bought an unlocked Iphone 5 in the Pacific Centre Apple Store (Vancouver, BC) and paid the full price.
As I had a contract-free plan of Fido (with a regular SIM card), the attendent from Apple store gave me a nano SIM and asked me to go to the Fido store in order to activate it. So I did it. The phone worked fine in Canada but back to Brazil, I tried to insert 2 different SIMs from 2 different carriers (Oi and Tim) and this message appears for both: "This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked".
Who should I contact? I already tried to reset the phone before insert the SIMs but it didn't work. After reset the phone, the name of Carrier in "About" changes for the corresponding SIM, I see bars of signal but the message keeps appearing.
I hope someone can help me! =)
Thank you.

Perhaps the phone that you purchased from the Apple store was not actually unlocked, but sim free instead, which means that the phone will lock to the first sim card that you insert into the phone - ie Fido.
To get the phone unlocked, you would need to contract Fido and see if they will unlock it for you. Failing this, you would need to return to or contact the Apple store in Canada where you purchased the phone to see if the phone was truly unlocked or sim free and see what they will do about it. If it was their mistake and the phone is still in warranty she should exchange it for you - if it was not an unlocked phone and you requested an unlocked phone, then they should still replace it for you.
Do you still have your receipt for this phone? If so, it should tell you on this whether the phone is unlocked or not. Check it and see.

IPhone 4 "iPod" features do NOT work with the new 2011 Infinite M37

just recently bought teh 2010 Infinite M37. I connected the new iPhone 4 to it via the USB cable. It showed connected in the M37 display dash....even showed the typical navigation menu (i.e. playlists, artists, songs, etc). However, I was unable to navigate at all in the menu (it appeared locked....and yes, i had entered my passcode on the iPhone , or play any songs. Also, when I played Pandora, it also did not go through the car speakers.
I've always bought the Infiniti's.....and they've always worked with my iPhone 3G. Looks like either this car is an exception, or something has seriously changed with the iPhone that prevents it from working.
My question is I wonder if Apple is working with any car manufacturers to address this. My guesss is that Infiniti can be the only car that will have this issue.

Many thanks for further clarifying.
I don't know 100% for sure that the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch is different than the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch 2G.
But:
I have read (somewhere) that the tiny pin connectors are different. That is why an iPod Touch 1G could be charged by (for example) a Logitech mm50 Speaker set and an iPod Touch 2G cannot.
An iPod Touch 2G can still connect to the Logitech mm50 Speaker set. It will still play and you will hear music. But it is no longer charging. And I have read of iPod Touch 2Gs getting very hot in these cradles. That can't be good for the poor iPod in the long run.
So for the Apple USB power adaptors to work, (which both came out before the iPod Touch 2G), they must have some override or blocked pin if they can work with both generations of iPod Touches.

IPhone 4.2.1 print not working with Photosmart B110a

I can access the printer web page from Safari, but "Looking for Printers" finishes with "No Printers Found". iPhone then loses WiFi connection and password has to be entered again.
Any suggestions for getting this working would be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have the same problem. My printer is: "Photosmart B110a"
I can print fine using the HP iPrint application, but when I try to print using the default printer on my iPhone (ie from Mail) I get "No Printers Found"
We're using WPA, with an EnGenius AP, and Cable connection to the internet.
Does the printer need to be able to connect to the internet? I saw some other user saying that the printer updated and they were able to print. Currently we connect through a managed Linux firewall.
Thanks!

IPhone 4 blacks out, could not work with just pressing the home button and lock screen button, only worked when I plugged it in the charger

My iPhone 4 started to blackout out of nowhere and it wont work only until I plugged my phone into the charger. It has been going on for several times in a day, where it just randomly blacks out. Do anyone know what is the problem and how do I exactly fix this? thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I run two different versions of Firefox, the latest does not work with an important site I need to use?

With the latest version of Firefox I cannot send "Quick Mails" to my students using the college's ANGEL system. I had to uninstall it and go to an earlier version. I prefer the newest rev.
Any way to run two different versions. It does not have to be simultaniously. Seems to be a problem on both my Mac and XP systems.
Thanks,
Kim

Currently I don't think there is a way to run two version of firefox at the same time. But you can install Firefox Beta or Aurora instead (which is build for future release for firefox) and help test it! Here's the link:

IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

Hello Everyone,
I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
Thanks and Regards,
Rajat S.

ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

Hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone from usa, dose it work in romania?

hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone 5 from usa, dose it work in romania?

You'd be better served by purchasing an officially unlocked iPhone 5 in one of the EU countries. Except for the EU, iPhone warranty/support is limited to the country of original purchase. Thus, you won't have any warranty or support, for a US iPhone, where you live. However, if you purchase an iPhone in any EU country, your warranty/support is EU wide. Further, US iPhone 5's do not support LTE in Europe, only the models sold in Europe support such. Given these two issues, doesn't it make more sense to purchase your phone in Europe?

Do i have to buy an unlocked iphone if I'd like to use it in Israel?

Hi! I've been thinking of buying an iphone 5s/5c (haven't decided yet) from Apple in the US and bring it home to Israel.
I took a look at the prices and saw the huge difference between the Carriers-iphones and the Unlocked ones.
I would really like to know weather I have to get the Unlocked iphone if I would like to use it in Israel, or is it possible to purchase one
that belongs to a certain carrier (AKA the cheaper one...)
Thanks!

You must buy a unlocked iPhone
The US price does not include taxes on Apple sites
The iPhone is unlikely to work on 4G( LTE) although an unlocked iPhone will work on 3G
There is no warranty outside the US on a US purchased iPhone .The warranty is NOT international
So for any warranty or post warranty service you would have to take the iPhone to the US or send it to a friend who is willing to carry in for you
Apple do not accept mail in from outsde USA
The only source of genuine iPhones will be the Approved carriers in Israel
see this list
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
call them to find out when the iPhones will be available

Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

Iphone 4 model MC603B/A is not working with any sim card

Hi,
I just bought myself a Iphone 4 and it is not working with any sim card so far. So far I tried everything, even bought sim cards from different countries to see if that would work. I tried the sim cards in others phones and are working correctly in those.
Several websites says that this phone is from the UK?! but even the sim cards from the UK arent working.
I have the legit firmware form iTunes and im up to date. (no jailbreak or what so ever)
Let me how to fix it.
Gr. WIlliam

No, it is NOT OK to talk about jailbreaking either.
As for why it is criminal, ONLY the carrier has the legal right to authorize unlocking it. In some countries (as it was in the US until recently and may be again soon) it is legal for an individual phone owner to unlock thier phone, it is not legal for a 3rd party to do so. Also, those services are not just "unlocking" the phone, they are gaining unauthorized access to a commercial database. That is a crime in almost every civilized country.

If I buy an unlocked iPhone 5 can I replace my virgin mobile iPhone 4s or will it not work with virgin mobile?
