Ios 7 is so nauseating I have to use another phone.
I got an iphone so I wouldn't have to buy a new phone all the time, but with the new ios 7, the nausea is too much and I have had to go back to an older dumb phone. Being that I am not made of money, I can't just go out and buy a new phone, and why should I have to, considering I already bought this iphone. Now I cannot even use it and I am freaking mad. I want a refund if this problem isn't fixed. How can I get one?
No. New phones will have iOS7.
Give the new version some time. I've gotten to like it very much.
But here are some tips than offer improvents using the proper settings...
The following is from user RandomName42, who provides lots of ideas. It seems much of this may have come from this article:

At any rate, RandomName42's post follows ---------------------------------------------------
The font size doesn't affect the font size of the icons, which the new folder layout makes even harder to read than it is against a regular background.
I deal with migraines and avoid bright light where I can, so figuring out how to work around Apple's design on this one is going to be huge. I'm encountering (and working on finding a way to avoid) huge unbroken bright spaces in the OS. I've known for a while that, at work, my monitors will eventually give me headaches but my iPad wouldn't. I'd been using the iPad as a break from monitor glare to stop them from kicking in full-blast. I didn't realize until yesterday that it was because so much of my iPad screen is darker - deeper greys, for example, in the settings menu, than the blue of my menus in Outlook. I had the new iOS for about 10 minutes before the first migraine started. I love Apple's attention to aesthetics and design mentality, but goodness they use migraine triggers a lot in this design.
Potentially useful ideas:
General -> Accessibility -> Bold Text to ON. You may still have to squint a bit but letters will be ~much~ easier on the eyes.
General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast to ON. This takes away the bright fuzzy backgrounds when you open folders and makes them less fuzzy grey ones. It also darkens the bright fuzzy bar across the bottom of the screen to be a darker grey. It does not darken the bright fuzzy folders icons on the app pages or make Notes, Reminders or new Safari pages (or existing ones while you type a new address) much better, but is a huge step forward. It definitely makes mail and Messages much less pain-inducing, though they could stand to go darker.
General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion to ON. This seems to cost me the pretty effects with app icons, but with all of the fuzziness they've added to folders and the your-apps bar, it helps avoid ~shifting~ fuzziness. Which turns out to cause problems for me. Who knew?
General -> Accessitiliby -> Invert Colors to ON. ******* ONLY while in the Settings menu or Apple's screens like Safari, Reminders and Mail. I've been told I might be able to assign it to a triple tap, which should make switching easier. Haven't figured out how yet.
App Switcher - Either don't use it or kill all Apple screens you aren't actively using. This cuts down on the large light squares that fill the screen in the app switcher now. Not using it would be a hassle, but would also cut down on the heightened visibility of everything I have open when switching between apps I use at work. I'm undecided which I'll end up going with.
Use new screen pages instead of folders. I love the new folder design. My migraine-ridden brain doesn't, though. /-: With the old folder design, you knew an app in a folder was on screen if the folder was open and could let your gaze sweep over it multiple times to identify the icon. Now it may not be on the screen, so you have to focus specifically on smaller icons against a fuzzy-ish background. Focusing on something meant to be fuzzy is apparently one of my headache triggers. If the folders were darker or I could show the same number of icons, this would be much less a problem, but for now... I'm not sure that having a page for each folder is doable or worth the hassle, though. Might just end up moving the apps I use less often into a set of folders on a last page I don't have to visit often or just deleting them to minimize folders.
Remember your brightness setting needs to be lower than it looks. This one seems obvious but surprised me with the frustration it causes. When you open the lower dock that has the brightness control, it darkens the rest of the screen. If you set your brightness so that what you want to look at seems right, it will brighten further after you close the menu and go back to it. I don't have a feel yet for how much lower I need to set the brightness, but I assume that will come with time. Also: Setting brightness higher makes the menu itself brighter to look at, so judge headache likeliness with that in mind.
Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness -> Auto-Brightness to OFF. This OS is super on-the-ball about adjusting brightness automatically. Which is awesome sometimes, but less so when you manually set the brightness, go back to the screen and watch it change from what you just set it to. You may end up with darker screens than you want until you adjust the setting, but you won't end up with brighter screens than you want.
We'll probably just have to deal with the big fuzzy bar across the bottom of the screen and having to look more carefully at the big fuzzy squares behind folders now. It helps to think of them as Monet menus.

I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes? I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

HT204053 i have an used i phone and don't have the apple id how do i change it
i have an used i phone and don't have the apple id how do i change it
Any content that is currently on the phone will be tied to the account that bought/downloaded it (so you won't be able to update any of its apps or copy its content to your computer's iTunes). You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and you can then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to remove all of the previous owner's content - you can then log in with your own account on it and copy your own content onto it from your computer's iTunes

i have a used i phone 3g when i sync it up i get my old contacts and pitchers old text and phone calls but the apps will not stay after applying can someone help me
What version of iOS is the device running?
Is the issue with specific apps or all apps?
What version of iOS do the apps require? Some, possibly all, may require a newer version of iOS than the device is capable of running. -
I have bought used I phone 4s. I cloud fails to accept my apple ID, which is accepted by apple store and I tuned.
It says that I have already used maximum number of user accounts. Kindly help to resolve this problem.Hello Renvin29,
It sounds like you need to disable your iPhone remotely. I'm sorry to hear about your phone! The only way to do this with is Apple services is if you had Find my iPhone enabled. You have 2 options:
You can use this article to put the phone into Lost Mode and preserve your data on it, but prevent access to it:
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Or you can just erase it remotely outright:
iCloud: Erase your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2701
You should also take a look at this article for additional info on what to do about this situation:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

Take care,

When my 2 year contact ends, do I have to buy another phone or another 2 year contract?
When my 2 year contact ends, do I have to buy another phone or another 2 year contract? I want to stay with Verizon but I don't want to have to upgrade my phone and I'd rather not have to lock into another 2 year contract.
What happens when my 2 year contract ends? Does Verizon tell me? What do I need to do to continue using Verizon as my wireless service provider?When you complete your two-year contract, the only thing that changes is that you've completed your contract. In other words, you don't have to buy another phone unless you want to and you don't have to enter into another contract. You simply are switched to month-to-month, meaning you're out of contract and can leave Verizon at any time without paying an Early Termination Fee. And no, Verizon doesn't tell you when your contract has ended, but the information is readily available via your on-line My Verizon account.

I updated my Ipad( ios 7.1) & now it is asking for my PASSCODE ...I NEVER used a PASSCODE ,so now I am unable to use my IPAD because I DO NOT or NEVER have used a passcode ..my IPAD is useless ..I am locked out because I have NO passcode to use! HELP!!!
I have seen other users talk about this and make the same claim. Unfortunately, even if you didn't set a passcode, and the iPad is insisting that you did, unless you can successfully guess what the passcode is, you still have to follow these instructions and use one of the methods in here in order to restore your iPad which will then unlock it.

I have the iphone 6 ios 8.0.2. The health app hasn't worked for me yet. I have pinned things to my dashboard but it isn't updating anything. I curious to know if I need a third party app in order for it to track? Or if it is supposed to be tracking?
The iPhone 6 has a built in M8 coprocessor that tracks steps. Start with the manual:

Since a recent update (either for Firefox or Thunderbird, don't remember which), links in my Thunderbird emails will not open in Firefox. I can't even open the Thunderbird "help" link. In desperation, I installed Opera, and the email links work perfectly well. There seems to be some sort of disconnect between Thunderbird and Firefox.
I fixed this myself. You have to ensure that Firefox is the default browser. In the Firefox menu (maybe under Edit if you are running Linux) go to Preferences. Click "Advanced" then in the "General" tab click the button toward the bottom that says "Check now" and Firefox will automatically check if it is the default browser and, if it is not, ask you if you want to make it default. Answer "yes" to this question.

I just reinstalled Tiger after cloning my HD to a back up. I transferred my music back to my original HD, now music that I have purchased has to be authorized before I can listen to it. I don't want to waste one of my 5 computer authorizations on the same computer... How do I fix this?

Keep in mind though that it can only be used once per year! For most people though, that shouldn't be a problem. -

I don't recall this feature on any other version of firefox. For some reason, I can't stop focusing on the fact that every time I scroll over something on a webpage, an annoying white box pops up in the corner of the website displaying the hyperlink, or showing the fact that the link or whatever is loading... it's unnecessary and to me it appears as clutter, especially when I'm browsing a website that has a colored backdrop because then the annoying box pops out even more. I want to turn it off somehow or get rid of firefox.
To toggle the add-on bar on/off use Ctrl+/ or hide the add-ons bar through the View > Toolbars menus
Th add-ons bar replaces the status bar, so if you miss the status-bar working as before see item #10 in
