My iphone storage is 12 g not 16 why ?
literly i see that my iphone storage is 12 not 16 and i wnder why is 12 and in my iphone box is 16 !!
12.1 is about right.
There will be discrepancies between the capacity reported by the operating system and the advertising figure because of confusion and inconsistencies related to rounding, units and other mathematical minutiae. See Wikipedia for more on this.
You can expect to lose something like 3GB to 4GB of a 16GB iPhone's storage space, for example, to mathematical inconsistencies, as well as the space taken up by the operating system and other non-deletable installs. Which? ran a test and found that Apple's smartphones are actually among the most frugal in using up storage with initial installs, although you may find it harder to prune iOS than you would with other systems.
While Which? found that a 16GB iPhone 5s offers 12.2GB of true capacity, and a 16GB iPhone 5c allows 12.6GB, we checked a 32GB iPhone and were told it had a capacity of 28.3GB. And our 128GB iPad Air has a true capacity of 114GB. In our table above we have used tested figures as a guide when estimating the true storage available in other devices.

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?
Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well. -

Why would they?
Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.

I have upgrade ios 6 to ios7 on my iphone 5. I do NOT like it at all. I want to come back to the previous version. why is it so complicated? Why can I not find the instruction strait from apple? This is the worst possible upgrade ever. It make me think of when ericsson got sold to Sony....drastic PC change.
I would like to have simple instruction on how to downgrade.
It feel like a change that I did not ask for , ok I push the upgrade buttom, but really this is the worst update aver!

My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?
You can't just store photos on icloud. They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos. (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving. Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?
It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

My iPhone 6 shows "No Service". Why? My device is not set to Airplane Mode and I've already checked my Cellular settings to make sure that's all right. Obviously I can't call Verizon to find out why I have no service, and their online Live Chat isn't working. What to do?

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?
Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?
Because that is the design of the iphone.
Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process. -
