ITunes capacity meter is wrong for video - please help
Hi Experts,
I'm having an issue where when I firsts plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, iTunes sees that it has the correct video size. Then, after sync starts, it has the wrong value. It's accounting for a movie (4+ GB) that is NOT on the phone. I know it's not there because the Windows Explorer and iPhone's Usage say I have the correct free space (5.5GB). The correct free space shown in Explorer and Usage is what iTunes reports when I first plug in the phone. Any ideas as to how to fix this? I've tried to "Restore" the phone, but iTunes won't let me because it says there's not enough free space on the phone.
iPhone 5
iOS 7.0.3
iTunes 11.1.2
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Thanks!!
Kevin
Hi vidor95,
If you have your information backed up and are willing to do a Restore on your iPhone, but iTunes is giving you a free space error, you may want to try first erasing the content from the phone itself and/or trying a restore from Recovery Mode. You may find the following articles helpful:

Please help me in getting this unlocked without lossing the data as the data is really important for meI think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.

Hello Huss87bash,
This screen indicates that the device is in recovery mode, and must be restored in iTunes before it can be used again.

Once the device has been restored, you should be able to restore your device from a backup to replace all of your content and settings.

On itunes it says that my billing address is the United States but I'm in the UK. It doesn't give me an option to change it either.. How do I change it?!! Also, whenever trying to enter bank details into itunes, it tells me they are wrong, is it because my billing address is wrong?! Please help!!
What card are you Using. Are you using a card from the US or the UK? Because if you live in the UK and trying to access the UK Store, then you need to use a card that has a billing address in the UK. Go back to Settings > iTunes and App Store then click view Apple ID and click payement Info and make sure everything is correct as far as your payment info and Billing Address

They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.
Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.
If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you? -
I logged 3 times wrong security question. please help me
I logged 3 times wrong security question. please help me
Hey annamyle91,
Thanks for the question. If you are having issues with the security questions associated with your Apple ID, follow these steps:
If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
Reset your security questions
1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
2. Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
3. Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
4. If you have only one security question, you can change the question and answer now.
5. If you have more than one security question:
- Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
- Your rescue address will receive a reset email from Apple. Follow its instructions to reset your security questions and set up new questions and answers.Didn't receive the email?
After resetting your security questions, consider turning on two-step verification. With two-step verification, you don't need security questions to secure your account or verify your identity.
If you can't reset your security questions
Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
- You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have arescue address.
- You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.
Thanks,
