Issue with iPhone 4 setup/restore

I had an iPhone4 which was replaced by a new iPhone 4, due to an issue with the proximity sensor.
Hardware details:
My Macbook Pro to which the iPhone is synced to has the latest version of iTunes, the old phone was running iOS 4.3, while the new one had iOS 4.2.
I tried to do a restore (setup) on new iPhone, but I kept getting an error. I then checked iOS on new phone and realized it was running 4.2. After which I updated it to 4.3. This still didn't fix my problem with restore, as they were still failing. So I set it up as a new phone. Assuming all my data would be safe and I could then copy to my new iPhone.
When setup was complete I saw that my address book and photos (which came from my original iPhone) were all gone from my laptop. After searching everywhere, I found a file that appears to be my iPhone data backup, in the trash bin. I assume it contains all my data from the old phone.
My question is, am I correct in that, this is my cell phone backup data file and if so can it be retrieved?
Thanks in advance.

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
Anyone else had similar issues?

I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Issue with iPhone 5 (AT&T) when reconnecting to LTE.

I recieved my iPhone 5 (on AT&T) a few days ago and have noted an issue with the LTE connection when you try to reconnect after loosing my signal.
In the morning, for example, I will have a good LTE connection, then I go to work where the cell signal is fairly spotty, at best, in the building. I will notice my signal switch to Edge (not even 3G...but Edge, of all things). Then when I leave work the phone won't reconnect to LTE, even after toggling the LTE and cellular data on and off. It just sits on Edge and won't even load my email. I have to restart my phone to get a connection again.
Has anyone else had this problem? I hope it's just a software issue that can be fixed with a future (hopefully a near future) update.
(And don't go using the "AT&T is horrible" argument. I have a good number of friends would would say the same of Verizon. It's a weak argument...like playing the "race card" in a debate.)

After talking to an Apple rep, I first tried reset teh network settings, but that didn't have any effect. Then I went and completely reset the phone to factory spec and restored the phone...which seems to have done the trick. Now I'm getting and holding a strong 4G connection in the stockroom that previously completely killed my signal.

Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied). The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs. After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
I had another issue with my phone when playing music. When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found. I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'. I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle. After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song. I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again. This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone' tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play. All played ok.
I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening. Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it. My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S. The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S. When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app. However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process.
So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful. Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
Mark.

Hi,
Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running. I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices.
The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem. For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD, this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music. So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version. However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time. When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone. This may just have been luck though at that time.
Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on. The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
Thank you all for your comments.

Issues with iPhone 4 mute toggle vibrate

I'm having issues with the mute toggle on my iPhone 4 4.3.2, it suddenly started happening where if I switch to ringer it will vibrate sometimes but not on silent, and vice versa.

I have been having this same problem ever since I got my iPhone 4 in Oct 2010. Even though I do my software updates regularly and currently hold version 4.3.3, it keeps happening. Also, once I restored my iPhone software too.
Recently, I phoned up Apple and spoke to a member of the Support Team; who suggested that I Restore the software again. But after Restoring the software again and having the latest version, it ends up in square one. The problem still exists - mute toggles and vibrate.
This problem happens randomly sometimes when the switch is on Ringer; iPhone 4 vibrates and pop on screen the mute (bell) sign, then immediately again it will vibrate and pop on screen the unmute (bell with line cutting across) sign. When switch is on Silent, vice versa does Not happen.
It is really annoying and I have had enough of this issue for 8 months. I am definitely taking my iPhone to the Apple store, if they can’t fix it, the iPhone gets flushed down my commode!

My Top Issues with iPhone 6 + iOS 8.0.2

I'm having a bevy of issues with my new iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2... I thought I'd put some of these out to stud, as those smarter than I have found resolves for... I'd love to enjoy this device, but some of the issues are completely off-putting. They are as follows:
1. Email is setup to push, however when it is read on the computer, the notification no longer disappears from the lock screen until the phone is unlocked. Prior to upgrading, the notifications would immediately disappear when the emails were opened on the desktop. There seemed to be perfect sync between the mobile device and email interface.
2. The lingering notification "1" on top of the Settings icon. Not sure how to get rid of it, but combed through and don't have any outstanding updates or backups.
3. Certain applications arbitrarly lag or freeze (i.e. Facebook, Mail, etc...). Applications either shut-down or restart. Happens less frequently, but more so than previous device/iOS.
4. Text message and email searches don't work. If I type in the name of a contact in Messaging, unless it's a very recent contact - it doesn't populate with results. Same is roughly the case for email.
Any ideas on the above? Thanks guys.

The transference of software between devices can come with problems. The only way to overcome those issues is troubleshooting. I'm sorry it is too much of a hassle to ensure your device is in proper working order. It is far less of a hassle then dealing with problems and complaining about them. Good luck with your device.

Software issue with iPhone 4S

i am experiencing software issues with my IPhone 4S. I was directed to back up all data to ICloud and delete everythign off phone. Did that. Cannot restrore phone with ICloud back up data cause it causes the software issue to represent itself. i can restore as a new phone without any issues. i need the contacts that i have backed up on ICloud. all picts and data can be deleted. how can i just restore contacts only.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the contacts are in iCloud they will be reloaded to your new phone when you sign into iCloud.

Exchange 2003 ActiveSync issue with iPhones

Hello,
    I am having an issue with an Exchange 2003 server, where a couple of iPhones can suddenly no longer Activesync with it. It seems to be an issue with their specific accounts. I set up an account for myself and was able to connect
and sync with no issue from my Windows 8 phone and also the Remote Connectivity Analyzer.
   However, with the iPhone user I tried to run his account through the Analyzer and got a timeout error when it was testing to sync the inbox. I also tried setting up the user's account on my Windows phone and the inbox just showed "syncing,
this could take a while" and just kept doing that.
   The mailbox in question is pretty large, the System Manager shows it at 41GB and I think that may be the issue. However, initally the user told me that the phone worked fine until about a month ago. When I first started troubleshooting
the issue, I found that the self signed certificate had expired around the time the phone stopped syncing and generated a new one. But I think the user had tried to wipe the account and re-set it up normally but that wiped any mail that was on the phone
and now it is trying to resync a large amount of data and that is causing the timeouts.
   I have also been reading that Microsoft Security Essentials can cause these types of issues and it is installed on the server, but would it cause these issues with only certain accounts or with iPhones but not Windows phones?
   Am I on the right track with this? Thanks.

The event viewer shows no ActiveSync errors for the user. I tried to connect to the account from my Windows phone and it set up ok with no errors (the user tells me that the account setup on the phone went ok too, all green checks) but when it was
doing the initial sync, it just seemed to hang with a message saying something like "syncing, this could take a while" or something to that effect.
The Remote Connectivity analyzer came back with a timeout error for the Inbox sync step as well.

Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

Hi all,
I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
Thanks!

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.

Home Sharing issues with iPhone 6 Plus

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
I have no clue as to why this is happening.
Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

UPDATE
So, after working with the guys at Apple, they we were to provide a solution. Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
(I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz). In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

8.1 did not fix Bluetooth issue with iPhone 5 and car

8.1 didn't fix my issue with Bluetooth. I can receive calls and play music thru my Mazda CX-9 but I cannot make outgoing calls. My daughter has same issue with her iPhone 5 in her car so it has to be glitch with Apple yet. Please help. I'm so totally frustrated and I'm not eligible for iPhone 6 until January.

I found there is another contact group list as part of the Bluetooth sync menu; altering that took care of the issue.
This is a non-issue.
