IPhone 5 icon replaced with a portable camera icon
I used to get the iPhone icon when i connected with my PC. Now i get the portable camera icon.
i want the iphone icon back. any suggestions?
Mackeeper is one of the worst pieces of software out there, well known for trashing people's systems. You should uninstall it first.
You may need to reinstall Yosemite from your recovery partition (restart holding cmd-R, then follow prompts to reinstall the OS) to get the App Store back.

when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?
Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes. -
I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new one same day and downloaded info saved to the cloud. The next day all that info disappeared and have not been able to get any of the old info back. Is there a way to get this info.
I think you will have to do a complete restore--you will lose any info added since last backup. Connect phone to computer, select it in souce list. Next, click on Summary tab, click Restore. In the next dialog box, click Restore--your phone will be erased and the latest software will be installed. Click agree to terms and phone will restart. Then you will see the phone setup screen--click on Restore from Backup and select the most recent backup. Obviously, this will only work if you have a backup on the computer. If not, check Set up as New Phone, click continue, then wait for the process to finish.

Just deactivated my iPhone 4s and replaced with 5s. The phone was wiped. I would like to activate it just to use it as an iPod. However I do not remember my iCloud username and password (from several years ago) and cannot activate without it. How can I get past this?

Can anyone give me some advice. My @me.com email account has vanished and been replaced with @icloud.com and I am at a loss how to view my email or put the account back onto my iPad/iPhone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can manage your email accounts in
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars
However, you should still get all of your emails, contacts and calendars on your @icloud.com email account just as you do on your @me.com account.
But if not, you can add and remove accounts listed above. -
My unlocked iphone has been replaced with a locked iphone
I purchased 2 iphone 5C 32Gb in September, one for me, the other for my wife. They were purchased via an online retailer, but both have had problems and i contacted support via chat, however they problems could not be resolved so I booked a genius slot at the nearest Apple Store (Reading UK).
It was agreed that both iphones required replacement, however they were not UK models and therefore had to be ordered in.
Earlier this week i received a call to say they were ready for collection and i took time off work to travel to the store (1 1/2 hour away) yesterday.
Both phones were replaced ad the SIM cards swapped.
One iphone worked straight away, however the other will not activate stating: SIM NOT VALID
I was informed that it sometimes takes time to be able to activate; so after 2 hours of trying in the Store I was assured this was temporary and would be able to activate within a few hours.
it is well over 30 hours and after contacting chat support, who put me on to phone support, who escalated it, it would appear that this phone is locked to an Australian network.
The phone support also had no record of this replacement iphone as the replacement was not identified on the genius bar work confirmation email and ther is no record of where it was purchased (I only have the imei number on the back of the phone to go by)
The original iphone was unlocked from new, however this replacement is locked.
My wife has been without her phone for nearly two weeks now, and I am no where nearer getting this resolved....
I have no idea what network it is locked to....
What are my options?????? It would appear that i am going to have to purchase a new phone as it is needed for work next week.
Feeling very let down by apple support at the moment, and am considering returning the 3 ipads i purchased last saturday for my children for xmas as I am not convinced that I will receive adequate support if anything goes wrong.
Any ideas on how to get this resolved would be gratefully received.Purchased from an "online retailer"? Which online retailer?
If that online retailer was NOT Apple, then there is a very, very good chance that you did NOT purchase an unlocked iPhone. -
Iphone 4s being replaced with new 4s, will everything sync the same to the new one???
My iphone 4s was having some glitches so i am replacing it. But i really love my layout and how i have my apps organized, i was wondering if i back this all up to itunes if it will sync the exact same back to my new 4s. i get very OCD about my apps and it takes me a long time to get my iphone to look "like home" so this is very important. please get back to me thanks.
Restoring from the latest backup will bring back all your settings again. You might have to fill in certain passwords, for example for mail.
Details about the content of a backup can be found here:

How do I get an old library onto a new computer. When I plug in phone all my apps do not show up.
You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way

Or...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

my iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do??? i leave in diferent country now!!!???(((
in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
with the carrier this is called a sim lock
the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years -
Curves Circle Symbol Disappeared in Photoshop - Replaced With Curves Icon. Need help
Today I watched a YouTube video on how to get rid of under eye darkness in Photoshop (I use CC). It worked beautifully! So easy. I opened another photo to do the same thing, left my computer for a couple hours, came back, and the Curves symbol disappeared-the half colored in, half not circle. I needed to click it in order to achieve my earlier results. It was replaced with a Curves icon as shown under the Adjustments. I was desperate for an answer to this mystery - I can't find the right help anywhere. Ugh. Got anything?
did it install ok?

Hi there.
I use an iPhone with the Canadian provider, Fido. I purchased the phone from Fido and signed up for a 3 year contract in order to recieve the phone at the reduced price. I understand that Fido performs a carrier lock on the phone when you sign up in this way so that the phone can only be used on the Fido network.
At the moment I am in the process of cancelling my contract with Fido and switching over to another provider in Canada. After doing some research, I found out that Fido offers a service where they will unlock your phone from their network when you finish your contract, for a fee. Since I am cancelling my contract and paying the early cancellation penalty, my contract will be satisfied and I will be eligible for the unlock service. My plan is to have my iPhone unlocked by Fido so that I can use the phone with my new provider.
My question is this: If I have my phone legitimately unlocked by my provider, will Apple send me an unlocked phone in the event that their is a hardware failure covered under warranty, and I need a replacement iPhone? All my previous replacement iPhones have been, to my knowledge, locked by Apple back onto my provider before they are sent to me. But, it would be awfully annoying if a replacement phone came to me locked onto an old network that I no longer use.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.Are you sure about this? I thought so too, but when I received my replacement iPhone 6, it was locked again.
I bought a carrier locked iPhone. Then it was replaced with another carrier iPhone. This second phone (first replacement) was then unlocked. Later the unlocked iPhone was replaced with a third phone (second replacement). To my disappointment the second iPhone replacement is locked.
The Authorized Service center said that Apple made a mistake and should unlock it remotely ASAP. Apple Support however, says that iPhones are replaced with specifications of the originally initially purchased iPhone. If the original was unlocked, they would replace it with unlocked, but if it was locked then replaced with a locked and then unlocked by carrier. The carrier should be contacted again to unlock future replacements. I know it sounds ridiculous and illogical.
If an iPhone has been unlocked (obviously by a carrier), why would you replace it with a locked iPhone and ask the customer to contact his carrier and request another unlock for the replacement iPhone? So inefficient and could be a problem if the carrier allows only one unlock per year per line like most do, or if you are no longer a customer of that carrier.
Interestingly I found the following on Apple's "Hardware Warranty". Retrieved from: https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html):
"Following warranty service your Apple Product or a replacement device will be returned to you as your Apple Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates.”
What I understand from this is that replacements will be configured exactly as the originally purchased including any updates made to it. I believe unlock is considered an update.
Apple Support argues that the second device was unlocked (updated), but the original (initial / first) device was not unlocked. Therefore, I should deal with my old carrier to unlock this one.
How insanely ridiculous is that??? -
My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?
No it is not common.
Most have no issues.
Have you tried basics from the manual? Restart, reset, restore?
The warranty covers defects. If the iphone is defective, then they would replace it. -
My iPhone 5 has broken and is being replaced with a new iPhone tomorrow. However, My carrier (orange) will b picking up my broken iPhone and I am unsure how to secure the content and icloud data on the broken phone. Is there a way to disable the data held on it and ensure that if it is fixed, nobody can use/see my data and access my account?
Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
