Iphone 4 gone bizerk and announces everything!!!

My iphone 4 is in a mode where it voice announces everything you touch on the screen. Along with it, the swipe feature isn't working and it takes a double 'tap' on any icon to activate it. Anyone know how it got into this mode and how to turn it off? Please help. Thanks.

Vodafone and Apple can't help you with this. Your only chance to recover is by using Windows system restore or mac Time Machine to revert to an earlier time and see if you can retreive your old backup, assuming you have been syncing your phone to back it up. (If you haven't, there's no way to get your information back.)
If you backed up your phone with iTunes prior to this happening you could use Windows System restore to restore your computer to an earlier restore point before this happened, or mac Time Machine to do the same. If an earlier backup exists after you revert back you will find it at one of the following locations:
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If you find it, copy it on a flash drive then revert your computer back to its current state (by undoing System Restore or ending Time Machine). Then copy this backup file to it's original location. Next save any recent pictures in your Camera Roll, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (under Preferences>Devices>Prevent...from syncing automatically), connect your phone to iTunes and when it appears on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to save any new purchases) and finally right-click again and select Restore from Backup.
I realize this might sound a bit technical. If it does you may want to have a computer savvy friend help you with this.

My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled. I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

I have reached out to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know
1. Why it went black and is there a permanent fix for this
2.Will the IOS gets automatically updated as I feel the IOS was 5 when I got the phone in 2012 december
3.Do you suggest 7.1 for Iphone 4

1. There is no way of knowing. These things happen.
2. The iOS only gets updated when you want it to be.
3. You should always update to the latest iOS your phone will support. Apple do not write the updates to make your experience worse.

My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again?

My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again. What do I do to fix this?

Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above covers your iTunes purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

My Iphone has gone black and wont turn on, what happened?

my phone was working fine an hour ago, fully charged and everything. Why wont it turn on now ?

Hi lauraaashley88,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone wont power on and you've already tried to charge it, see the troubleshooting steps below. In your case I'd suggest starting with step 5.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

I just updated my iPhone 4 to ios6 and lost everything. How do I get it back?

I backed up my iphone and updated the software. I now have no apps, music, voice memos.....I was able to get my photos and contacts back. How do I get all the rest of my stuff back?

It shouldn't be a problem. Restore, and then resynch everything back. You will have backed up photos and such.

How to sync iPhone to (new) computer and keep everything on the phone saved?

I want to put music onto my iphone (the music is on my laptop, and on itunes).
When I connect my iphone to my laptop it asks me to set it up as a new iPhone.
I cannot risk losing any of my data on the phone (eg. contacts, messages, notes, apps, etc).
The phone is connected to my icloud account, and everything is checked to be saved on icloud.
On the computer there is no option to restore from the icloud account.
Do I restore from the icloud account via my phone (and then will it sync the music onto my phone via computer?)? Or set it up as a new iphone via my laptop?
The end result I need to have is for the phone to remain the same (apps, information, contacts, etc.), except with my music (that is on my laptop) playable in the music app.
Thanks so much in advance for any help that could be given!

If you haven't synced you phone with iTunes before the first thing iTunes will do is delete all iTunes media (apps, music, podcasts, etc.) from the phone, then replace it with the media in the iTunes library you are syncing with. Establishing syncing for the first time without losing your data has to be done carefully. This guide will give you the process for doing so: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. There is a related guide here as well: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991. However, as covered in these guides, only music purchased from iTunes can be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library. Transferring music from other sources from your phone requires 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.
Other options:
If all your music is purchased from iTunes, it can be download directly to your phone for free without syncing (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Another option to get your music without syncing is to subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). This will scan your iTunes library, match songs already in the iTunes store and upload any songs in your library not in the iTunes store, then make your entire music library (up to 25,000 songs) available to download from iCloud directly to your phone. (With iOS 6 due out next week on the 19th, iTunes Match songs can also be streamed to your phone without downloading and taking up space on your phone.)

I just updated my IPhone 4 5 IOS and now everything is messed up

Hi everybody : ) Sorry to be meeting this way, but I just updated my IPhone 4 to the new 5IOS software. And now, when trying to sync my phone it is telling me.
"Iphone -insert name of Iphone here- cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
I have no idea why it's doing this and I would love to fix it. It's taking more an hour just to get the entire thing to sync and more than once sync to do so. I would love for this to not happen every time I try and sync my phone with new music or photos.
Also, my downloaded apps are not installed and won't install on to my device. Nor will my Itunes let me update my apps. It keeps telling me that there's an Itunes error.
Please Help me figure out what's wrong with my phone and how to fix it : /

The only restore I can find is from 2010.

External hard drive gone wrong and copied everything to Imac HDD filling it completely

I have had my iMac backed up to an external hard drive for years and randomly the External hard drive is now not readable and it has seemed to copy everything to my imac hard drive filling it completely.
any ideas how to firstly fix the external drive without losing everything on there and second why it would have copied everything to the Imac?
I cant even do a restore from a back up as its all backed up to external drive and its saying its not readable.

If they're still in two folders (iTunes app and Music) on your external, can you not just copy those two back to the internal drive and expect it to work properly again? It's my understanding that music you wish to be active in iTunes must be on your internal drive.

My iphone has gone dead and now not charging.

I had it on charge at about 12 today took it of and went dead about an hour ago. Now its not charging at all. I have tried 2 diffrent usb cables into the wall plus the computer. I have only had it since July last year.

"Debris pocket"? I said "check for pocket debris" as in debris /dirt / fluff from whatever pocket you might carry the phone in. A piece of dirt in the phone's docking port can easily prevent a good connection being made with the charging cable.

HT1476 I got my new phone in Dec and just now had the time to sync it. I was given the option of using as a new iphone or restoring to a previous and I hit restore and now everything i dwn loaded over the last few months is gone. What can I do?

I got my new phone in Dec and just now had the time to sync it. I was given the option of using as a new iphone or restoring to a previous and I hit restore and now everything i dwn loaded over the last few months is gone along w all sms and photos. What can I do?

Well, unless you made a backup BEFORE you hit the restore button, your data is gone.
