If I do a reset on iphone5 will I lose my settings as in contacts etc.

A reset will not affect data. A restore however, can. Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer. This is where they are saved. The backup process for the iPhone does not really save all contact data.

HT4993 The camera on my iphone5 will not work. I have tried a soft reset and shutting down all apps. What do I need to do?

The camera on my iphone 5 will not open up. Not to camera or video. I have tried to shut down the apps. Shut down the phone and done a reset. What can I do? No I have not updated to the new ios.

Buy a retail Snow Leopard DVD. After installing that, you can upgrade to Lion if you wish.

My iphone5 is 2 months old and I have never synched it to itunes. If I sync it now will it reset the iphone?

I have had an iPhone 5 for the past two months. I have never synced my iPhone into iTunes on the computer. iTunes is telling me to start my new iPhone, but I don't want to take the chance of losing all my apps and having everything be reset. Is it safe for me to set up my iPhone 5 on iTunes? Will it not reset it?

Read this about syncing http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Do a backup first http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
At some stage in all of this you will be asked to transfer purchases to your computer. Select yes.
There is no need for a reset

Photos will not sync to iphone5

Just got my new iphone5 today. When I first sync'd it my photos transfered fine but now no matter what I do it will not sync photos, it always comes up with the error 'not enough memory'. Everything else syncs fine to my phone, even a 2GB game. I even tried deleteing everything and resetting my phone and even when it was completely blank and reset it would not sync photos.

Ziggy,
Just so you know, iPhone's email shrinks the images to 640 x 480 for sending. The only way to get a full quality image off your camera is by syncing so you need to get that problem resolved. Do you have your iPhone connected by a USB hub or are there any other USB devices connected to your computer? It's been reported that these can garble photos. Make sure your iPhone is plugged directly to the computer USB port and nothing else is connected. Also sometimes scanner software can be trying to access a USB port even when not plugged in.

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do.

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do. Mine will connect to other networks. I have rebooted the router and the phone, reset Network Settings, deleted the wifi network and reinstated it. Can anyone please help?

Good day Telbuoy,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5s is not connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've done a good job of isolating this behavior to your iPhone and home Wi-Fi router.
There are a few more steps that I'd suggest trying next:
Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version using the steps in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Make sure your router is using the settings in Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router. (from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network)
Best Regards,
Jeremy

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Iphone5s get hang on reset

i am using iphone5s ,in that space is low so i take up a backup and reset with everything there goes problem it hangs in the apple logo screen not responding
plz give me a sugesstion

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
Since you have a back up of your device - you can try to put it in the recovery mode -
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.

Hello Guys, what would happen if I reset my iPhone5 - reset all settings

Hello Guys, what would happen if I reset my iPhone5 - reset all settings

If you select the option to reset settings, all settings will be back to default ones, but you will not lose any application, song, movie, etc.
If you select the option to reset all content and settings, your device will be wiped and it will be back to default settings, so you will need to set it up and transfer all your content to your phone

Yes, Apple replaces iPhone not repair.
You need to backup before hand.

Welcome to the Apple community Timmy.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

IPhone5 will not vibrate on silent when using custom ringtone from iTunes sync

Hello,
I've troubleshot this one to death and came to find that my iPhone5 will not vibrate in silent mode when the audible tone is set to a tone synced to the device from iTunes.
I've found that the phone DOES vibrate on silent when the audible ringtone is set to a tone that comes with the Phone out of the box.
Any advice on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DP

I have this same issue, I havent been able to sync my phone since May 15th. I am using Itunes 11.0.3 and I have an Iphone 5. I reset my phone and deleted Itunes and reset sync history, all of which didnt work. I have already turned in my Macbook pro because of its buggy ways and I am thinkin I am going to have to leave the iphone if this doesnt get fixed. "Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Please try again later. I have also removed norton and that didnt fix it. Apple is such a dispapointment anymore. I used to reccomend them but now I tell people to stay away.
Its driving me nuts, I was wondering how you fixed this.
Thank you

My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Cheers,
