  • My iPhone software crashed, how do I get my music from m phone onto itunes on my computer?

    My iPhone software crashed and I had to get a new phone. I had a lot of song purchases on my phone from iTunes. I authorized this computer with my iTunes but I am unable to recover my songs that were on my phone. How am I able to get those songs back?

  • I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

    You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
    to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
    they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
    jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
    for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

    I have an iphone 4. How do I get pictures off of my phone, and into my computer, to make more space on my phone.  I want to send to my dell computer.  When I tried syncing phontos on my phone before, all of the pictures on my computer went into my phone taking up my data space.  I jsut want the pictures that I select to go to the computer. help!

    The only pics that can be imported to your computer are pics in your camera roll, & you don't use iTunes for that. Read here:

    Hi jclarke64, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade. 
    If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone. 
    See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • HT201401 My new Iphone 4 camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon. The photo shutter appears, but nothing else happens.  I've shut the phone off and turned on serveral times.  The same thing occures.,

    My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears.  Then the screen only shows the shutter.  When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again.  The photo screen only shows a black screen.  The button to take photos is locked the entire time.  I've turned the phone on and off several times.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these ALL been tried?

  • I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

    I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed. Please help!!! I hope apple has something to do about this. Thanks.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

  • How do i get through find my i phone with out knowing the past apple id or password?

    how do i get through find my i phone with out knowing the past apple id or password?

    If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. If you recently purchased the iPhone, return it for a refund if you can.
    Regards.

  • How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

    How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

    It takes an enormous amount of patience and time to get through to a qualified person.
    My Samsung S5 was locked out and needed a factory reset. Including attempts to achieve this locally, it took over an hour before my problem was even addressed.
    You may be interested in my journey to a very good technical support person.
    First I called the local sales person who had given me his personal business card with the friendly advice to call me with any questions. No answer at about 8:30 am when the business was open. His voice mailbox was full.
    Then I called the local store where I had purchased the phone. The person who answered the phone had learned all the proper stock phrases, but was not familiar with the issue, stated that there were no customers in the store, and I should go there in about an hour when there would be more staff. He suggested dialing *411 from my phone (which was locked). Then he gave me a number to call Verizon, which he had to look up, and it took a minute or so. The number was (removed). That is an internal number for employees and contractors and requires a code to access, obviously not designed for customers' use. He finally cut me off by stating that there were a number of customers in line waiting for his attention!
    After researching all my papers I found 800-922-0204 on my bill. The automated message suggested a hold time of 5 minutes, it took 20 minutes for a Customer Service Representative to pick up, and then I was referred to technical assistance. The hold time was announced to take 5 minutes, after 12 minutes I finally was connected.
    Fortunately I had my computer set up for Skype on a loudspeaker, and was able to do some other paperwork while waiting.
    Persistence was rewarded by having the good fortune to be connected to a very experienced, qualified and patient technical support staff with the name of Thomas (removed). He solved my problem, answered my questions during the process of resetting the phone, and gave an example of courteous and kind customer service that I had never experienced before when dealing with any major internet company.

  • How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

    How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
    One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

    Guitaristica-
    I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time.  The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
    You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.
