Lost iPhone 4s - Any suggestions?
My husband recently lost his 16gig iPhone 4s and he is now using another phone on our account. He backed up his contacts on Backup Assistant but he had some things on the phone that are very important (in the notes, photos, etc.). Although he is using another phone now, we really need to find the phone that was lost. He did not have the Find My iPhone function turned on. He did have location services turned on for certain apps, but it's been about a week now, the phone has to be off now with a drained battery. Does anyone have any suggestions on tracking his last locations with the phone? Or does anyone know of any way we could possibly be able to find this phone now? Is there something internal to the phone that Verizon can track even with the phone off? Is there a way to go to apps (like the compass app he was using) and find the last location the phone was at? Any help on this would be great. We've searched everywhere for the phone, and it's actually not even the phone that's the biggest deal, it's info in the notes section and other things that he had stored on the phone that we really need back. At this point we understand we probably just need to move on, but I wanted to try one last thing and ask here if anyone knows of any way or has any ideas on how we can possibly find his phone. Thank you!
Use the side control make sure the switch is up and not down.

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you. -
Since uploading OS 4.3.2, I can no longer sync my Outlook Calendar to my 3GS iPhone. Any suggestions?
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay on my apple tv with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?
About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device... -

After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?
You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well. It was buggy for me.
I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
Just had to try everything. As final choice, update over the air. I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update. -

I redeemed 2 gift cards through my iPad. The money is showing up in my account on my iPad but not on my computer or iPhone. Any suggestions?
Katherine...
On the computer with the iTunes Store open the balance is not showing in the account area just above Quick Links on the right?
If not, try restarting the computer.
On the iPhone, try resetting > Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you are in the U.S. you can call 1-888-320-3301 to get your balance. -
I bought a book from itunes with my ipad. after syncing my ipad and iphone the book did not transfer to my iphone. Any suggestions? I might add that I an technically handicaped
If the book isn't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy it from the iPad by connecting the iPad to your computer and in iTunes doing File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone (connect the iPhone to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync that book). Or you can re-download it directly on the iPhone : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Another option, if you always want ibooks to download on both devices, is to turn 'automatic downloads' for books 'on' on both : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT453 -
I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?
So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.
