Thanks, but i'm not sure that i set up find my iphone.
Well, any easy way to find out is to do as I suggested, login to iCloud.com & try to locate the phone. Have you bothered to try that?
If that doesn't work, you'll have to let your battery run out, then try recovery mode.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

    DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost. 
    Use a music transfer software like Senuti to move your music from your iPhone to yur Computer/iTunes.

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

I'm really worried about my iPod touch home button doesn't work I'm not sure why is it broken,I never drop it or put water on it. Please apple support community please help me.

    Hi,
    You can use the alternative called assistive touch to enable assistive touch go to settings>general>Accessibility>scroll down to the bottom of the page and enable assistive touch a white dot at the bottom right of your screen will appear press the white dot and you will see the home button
    Hope this helps
    N.B. book an appointment with an apple genius although they will charge you if you get your iPod fixed by their repair services due to your warranty expiring

    Hi B
    I meticulously followed the instructions but I still haven't been able to completely uninstall itunes and the ipod.
    When I right-click on the bin folder in the ipod folder in program files and then choose delete, I get the following message:
    "Cannot delete iPodServiceLocalized.dll: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use."
    When I right-click on the Quicktime folder in program files, I get the following message:
    "Cannot delete QTTASK.EXE: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use."
    When i open the windows installer cleanup tool I cannot see itunes/ipod/quicktime in the list.
    I suspect this is something to do with administrator rights? How do I log in as an administrator? Only me and my husband use the computer, but we don't log in under any different IDs or anything, we just switch it on and start using it?!
    I tried installing 4.9 from one of the other threads anyway, but I still get the message that a newer version of itunes is installed so it cannot continue. The itunes in the ipod program file shows as 4.8.0.
    Look forward to your advice again.
    Thanks, Amanda.

  • I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

    I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
    Additional Information
    Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
    For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4  or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1  and should be included with your computer.
    For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install  Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
    For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
    This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above.  Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
    Please help me

    Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • How can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPhone without using a computer/iTunes?

    Disclaimer:  I am actually asking this for a family member, but I don't have an answer for her either.
    My family member has an iPad with music on it currently.  This music is music bought from iTunes and music bought from other sources.
    Her computer died a few months ago and she does not intend on replacing it.
    She just bought an iPhone and would like to copy the music from her iPad to her new iPhone.
    I had originally thought that iTunes Match would work for this, but the Apple Support article regarding iTunes Match (iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match) suggests that it requires a computer w/ iTunes to do the initial update.
    I'm willing to consider approaches from either, Apple or third-party.
    If it helps, her iPad and iPhone are both running iOS 7.

    The answer is, "you don't".
    Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
    An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.

  • Since installing iTunes 7 & firmware 1.2, I can't transfer songs to my iPod

    So I upgraded my iTunes and my firmware and now when I try to drag and drop songs from explorer to my ipod within iTunes it says adding songs and then "Updating ipod do not disconnect" When that's done, no new songs show up. This also happens when just dragging and dropping into iTunes, although I couldn't care less about that as I use winamp, but for troubleshooting purposes....
    It might also help to know that if I drag and drop more than a few songs (let's say >10), it never finishes the part where it says it's adding songs before interrupting with "Updating ipod." Also, I am not familiar with my ipod ever doing that when dragging and dropping songs. This makes me think this is not typical.
    I'm curious if anyone else has this issue. It's quite useless to have an ipod that I can't add songs to. Thanks.
    Windows XP SP2
    60GB iPod Video - Black
    iTunes 7.0
    iPod Firmware 1.2

    from what i've noticed in 7.0, there have been issues with dragging and dropping from outside of itunes into itunes. i've been having an issue where i'm trying to set album art by dragging pictures from either firefox or explorer to the itunes window and it doesn't work.
    have you tried just dragging the songs from your library to the ipod? i'm surprised that the songs aren't already in your library and you haven't created a playlist to add to the ipod.. i think that was the intention of playlists and the ipod (manually adding playlists to the ipod, not auto sync).
    i would suggest upgrading to 7.0.1 to see if that fixes the issue. i haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but it should solve many problems people have been having.
