My iphone and my computer are no longer communicating
I tried to get a new application for my son on his computer and then transfer it to my iphone, but when I did, all of my applications got wiped out. Then when I went onto my computer, the iphone never came up when I connected them. All of a sudden, it was like my computer and my iphone were not recognizing each other. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Thanks.
Sounds like 2 problems. The first is because the iPhone can only sync with one computer at a time. If you sync it to a different computer it replaces everything on your phone with content on the new computer. It warns you about this, but you apparently went ahead and did it anyway.
As far as the computer no longer recognizing the iPhone have you tried rebooting the computer ad the phone? Here are some additional tips on resolving this problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4
Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?
Refer to this article under section 4: Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed

I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives? How do I get iTunes to show the device?
With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.

I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
I think it is from 2006Hello,
10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions. -
I have an app called cartoon HD on my iphone and this app is no longer available I am about to buy an ipad, if I back this up with the same Apple ID will it share the app to the iPad?
You can copy the app to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - an actual backup (either on your computer's iTunes or to the cloud) doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, for a restore to work the app needs to be either in your computer's iTunes library (for and iTunes backup/restore) or still in the store (for an iCloud backup/restore). Or you could just sync the app from your computer's iTunes (which will only install the app, not any previous content)

Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID. I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod. How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please? I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
Thanks
MandiOn each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so. -
Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again ! -
I updated my iPod and now, two movies, which were purchased in iTunes and have/show both HD and SD versions are no longer syncing to or playing on my iPod.
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod firmware number as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Is there any error message when you try to sync the vidoes?
Have a nice day! -
I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?
Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer. -
I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

Just purchased a new router yesterday since ours got struck by lightning. Now my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for guest wifi passwords. Don't understand.
Some new routers come with the standard connection as well as a guest account. The guest account can be used for when friends come over and want to use your Wi-Fi connection. You can give them the guest account password and still keep the main account password private. Make sure you are logging on to the main connection and not the guest account.
