IPhone5 question.

I have an iPhone 5 that I have been syncing to the same computer for two years. Now when I connect the phone to the computer using a USB cable, I get a message saying the USB device has malfunctioned and is not recognized by Windows. It seems the issue started after the last software update - but not sure. I have an iPad 2 that syncs with the same computer and it works fine. Any ideas? Note - I am also having issues with receiving text messages from certain people. I can send text messages to their phone, and they receive them, but I do not get their texts. Any ideas?

Pre-order question for iPhone5/Verizon

I have a quick question...
My wife and son currently have the iPhone4 with AT&T and they are now out of contract. I'm currently on Verizon. I want to change their carrier and pre-order the iPhone5 for both of them from Verizon. I want to add those lines to my existing Verizon account and transfer their numbers as well. Would I be able to do this through this through the Apple Store's web-pre-order system? (or possibly Verizon's?) or will I have to speak with someone about doing this?
Thank you so much in advance

Here's what AT&T had to say about new customers when the 3GS was launched. I'd guess the same applies to iphone 4:

Using iTunes to put my CD collection on my computer and then to my iphone5, I have an older Optiplex with 40 Gb internal and an external 1.5Tb drive. Question is can I get itunes to point to the 1.5 Tb drive to store my music, and if so how?

Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.

Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

And Apple won't tell you. All they will tell you is what countries are supported for LTE right now. You can express your interest to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
but you will not receive a reply. It may be waiting on Telcel to approve. They may not feel that their LTE network is robust enough to handle that much load yet. But I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.

Hi Everyone, I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

Hi Everyone, I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

I have friends all over Europe, does it matter what number they use to call me? Nope! All incoming calls are free for me.
The only time you ever have to worry about which number is if you get charged for incoming domestic/international calls.
You can tag their number (work/home/iphone) and that may show on the CallerID accordingly.
It should show, John Doe
underneath, work/home/mobile
For example:

Just bought my iphone5s and understand I needed itune 11 to sync with my old iPhone. My question is whether itune 11 will sync with my iOS 4.

Thanks for the confirmation.

After 3 years, I got a new iphone5 and ran into the security question issue. Because of the questions apple chose, I have no idea what the answers are. I did the iTunes email thing and waited 36 hours for a response. I

After waiting the 36 hours, I received an email advising me. To contact a phone support number. After waiting 15 minutes on hold, the helpful person asked me for the answers to the security questions and said that answering them was the only way to reset the questions. I said, WHAT? You don't see any cyclic logic there? Apple (the inovator!) has not foreseen this? I was livid. I was advised I could leave a comment on Apple.com. I think I'll leave my comment on every Apple contract that crosses my desk. I'm IT Systems at a large US university. If anyone from Apple wishes to address this, PM me.

Thanks! I'm a little leery of attaching a credit card to itunes again because of all the apple database jacking in the past. I had a bunch of unauthorized purchases charged to my account for devices that I never owned. Took me weeks to replace the credit card even though it was never compromised but apple was impotent to fix the issue. On this issue, I finally got the working key to the system. Even though there are BAZILLIONS of ways to verify a person's identity via two forms, using the security questions forgotten as one of them seems to be circular (failed) logic. Seriously, it's like requiring someone's password to reset a forgotten password. My take on the issue fixed by this workflow, that I noticed from the 3 sets of calls and 20 minute wait on each is this.... iTunes was racked by all the fraudulent purchases I (and thousands of others) experienced and people (like me) had to go through all the credit card issues because Apple "would not" fix the issues in iTunes and pursue the fraudulent purchasers (even though Apple had the device IDs!). So we ripped out our credit card info in iTunes. On this security question reset issue, if they can require people to re-enter their credit card info under the guise of "identification ...because your security is so important!) and then take 60 minutes to create a high intensity customer interaction, there is a high probability that the average customer will temporarily forget all about removing their credit card info. It's actually brilliant! ...but very underhanded.... but also very Apple. I don't expect this reply to have a long life-span, but thanks for your response. If I can log into iTunes, I can add any credit card. therefore IF I CAN LOG INTO ITUNES APPLE HAS THE SECOND METHOD ALREADY! Thanks.

How to Manage your Apple ID: Manage My Apple ID

Hi: I think this is a common question - I seem to have two Apple ID's and need to know which one to use when activating a replacement iphone5

Hi:
I have 2 Apple ID's.
The first is the ID I established when I bought my first MacBook Pro several years ago.
When Mobile Me ended, I migrated to a new Apple ID that is associated with icloud and that ID has its own password.
On the first iphone 5 I purchased I used the "original ID" and noticed that I'm not receiving any email messages from my mac mail account. I assume this is because I used the original ID and not the new icloud ID.
Now that Apple has sent a replacement phone (issue with loose power button) I'd like to know if I'm supposed to use the iCloud ID to get the mail app to function properly....I've read this on the forums.
Well....thought I'd test out the procedure on the old phone before activating the new phone.....it doesn't seem to work.
I erased all content and settings, and tried to set up the device as new rather then restore from icloud.....I got an error message saying the password and User ID did not match. I then reset my icloud password for my .me user ID.....same message came up, i.e., wrong password.
I'd like to get this figured out as I use three email accounts and would like each of them to "work" on the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Questions re: missed calls iphone5

Past few days (so far not today) have had numerous missed calls. No ring, just discover later that a call was missed. Caller tells me it either rang a few times then went to vm or sometimes immediately to vm. I want my iphone 5 to notify me and then remind me every few seconds that I have a missed call (missed calls are more important to me and my business than a text message, which does remind me). No settings to set this up. Summary: two issues... (1) why missed calls; and (2) how to be notified and reminded.

HB-Mike, I know that this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to get this figured out for you. Does this happen in all locations or just specific areas? More often occur while indoors or outdoors? Let's make sure that the Do Not Disturb setting is on, take a look here to see how http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-64978/.

Newbie question- iPhone5

Can you make/recieve calls and texts while on WiFi and not on G3? Just got the phone and reading manual, just can't find the answer. I had to wait a week to get things set up. No reception at the house so added a Verizon network extender and now get G3 at house but LTE down the road. Verizon map says that I get G4 - not true.
Thanks in advance for your advice

These are your options using WiFi on your iPhone 5:
1.) Face Time
2.) VoIP like Skype
3.) An App like MilliTalk (which supports iOS6)

TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

How can i create a new usb connection (service) on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
can some one help me please??
this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

Question regarding transfer and restore of iphone

Hi All, I just brought a iphone5 and i want to transfer my data from my current iphone4s to the iphone5, but i will still be using my iphone4s. As you guys know, every iphone will have a Name (General>About>Name). So my question is, after i do a restore from backup to my iphone5 and then change the Name, then plug in back to my PC and let the iphone5 sync with the New Name, will it overwrite my old backup or it will create another backup with the new Name?
I ask this is because i will be using both iphone, but want the data from iphone4s to be transfer to my iphone5, from here i want both iphone to have their own backup.
hope someone can help to clarify. Thanks.

Follow the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
iTunes will keep separate backups & treat each device separately.
