My friend gave me her old iPhone w/o the SIM card so I'm using it as an iTouch. I've backed up with iCloud under my Apple ID. If I restore, will I be able to re-download the apps she had or will I lose them all?
Will I lose the apps?
yes apps are tied to appleID not phone or computer or anything
one can't sell apps
or transfer them or sell an ios device with apps
because of that
no way around it

iPhone 5
16GB
iOS8.3
i'm a new user on iPhone. My sister gave me her old iPhone that she bought in UK, she she it here in the Philippines and i'm having problems because i can't use it. i already restored it to set it up new but i couldn't still activate it. It says, " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." and "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
what should i do for me to be able to use it?
please help!
Thank you very much!It is locked to your sisters carrier.
She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service. -

My friend gave me her old ipod without a itunes password how do i update it?
My friend gave me her old ipod without a itunes username or password. How do I update it? I cant get ahold of her. HELP!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT5625 A family member gave me her old iPhone
A family member gave me her old iPhone. I changed it to my AT&T service. HOWEVER, when I text people, it still shows HER name and not mine. How do I update this so MY name appears as the sender?
Thanks Chris.
I did change to my own cell number (with AT&T).
I am not sure whether I restored and activated under MY name/Apple ID. (Out of convenience I have probably maintained HER Apple ID since I know the password.)
When I text people her name shows up and people don't realize it is me. (I don't know what appears with phone use.)
Thanks for your help here.

My daughter gave me her old iPhone 3G. I started loading my own info before doing a complete "Reset". My iMac at home now give me a message that it is time to Sync 432 Contacts. They happen to be my daughters contacts. The window has no Cancel or Delete option. How do I get rid of or stop the Sync other than let it go and then start deleting them? Help! Ron
or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling -

hp Windows XP
hp Windows XPOkay so this is what can be done for you....
First go to itunes then Edit --> Preference --> Advanced --> and check off copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library.
Now connect the ipod to the computer (if this a new computer and the ipod has never been connected to it, you'll get a box asking you to link the libraries, Say NO)
In itunes select file then 'add folder to library' and highlight the ipod in My Computer. Then select ok. The music should start updating into itunes.
When the update is complete, remember to go back into the preference window and uncheck 'copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library' -
Hi my friend gave me his iphone 1 today and its stuck at the apple boot logo. Some times it automatically shuts off but about a second later is comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Thanks for the help.
You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it. -
A friend gave me her old 6th generation Nano?
It still has all of her old songs on it. I need to delete all of them and replace them with my own songs on Itunes, but my computer wont recognize the Ipod. What should I do?
Hello nmlucy35,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized in iTunes:

Once your iPod is recognized in iTunes, you can use the steps in the following article to sync music to your iPod:

***.are Apple doing? why offer an update without warning people about the consequences!
I've just updated my old iphone4 to ios7. this phone as no sim card, as i use it more like an ipod..after the update it ask for a code, i put in the passlock code.
Unbeknown to me the sim lock and the passlock codes were different! as the sim as been deactiavted by my carrier they cant give me a PUK code!
I'm now stuck with a phone i cant use
any suggestions please!Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off. -
I basically got this phone about 2 weeks ago and i cannot download or update anything . I would mind it asking for my sisters apple password but she doesn't know it so how do i take it off ? It will ask for mine then a few seconds later it will ask for hers . In my settings everything is signed in as me but i just don't get why it still ask for her apple id. I have logged out and reset all my settings and it still ask for her apple id. If i can figure out how do i get her password ?
Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID. They cannot be transferred to another account. To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

HELP!!!
You (or he) didn't clear the phone before you started using it. He must sign out of Settings/iCloud, then you can go to settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
When you set it up use your Apple ID, not his. See: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer - Apple Support -
A friend gave me her old iphone 4 but could not remember the passcode and the phone is disabled. How can I reset the passcode?
In HT1212,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
