My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to free up space on my phone?

Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

    Hey there 79usma79!
    I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have 3 email accounts on my Iphone.  When I updated to ios7 it merged all inboxes together.  Is there a way to separate them?

    I have 3 email accounts on my Iphone.  When I updated to ios7 it merged all inboxes together.  Is there a way to separate them?

    Okay, I had not finished the update on my device when I first answered your question. I just now got a chance to get back on here.
    Open the mail app. When you see the Mailboxes screen, over to the upper right you should see Edit. Tap on that. The next screen allows you to select what to display on the previous screen. You should be able to select the individual mailboxes. Mine came over that way when I updated.
    Hope this helps.

  • I had to sync my iPhone to a different computer an list all my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without having to buy them again?

    I had to sync my phone to a different computer and it erased my ringtones I bought. Is there a way to get them back? The computer I was using no longer works at all.

    The songs are still on her ipod.
    They should transfer ok but make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchase.
    Connect the iPod to a computer, launch iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From...
    Make sure and backup the iTunes purchases >  How to back up your media in iTunes
    If this is an iPod touch read here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I lost all my passwords from the previous version of Firefox when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I have all the files. Is there any way to import them into Firefox 4?

    Typically, when I have upgraded a program, all of the bookmarks, passwords, etc. have transferred to the newest version but, for some reason that did not happen with Firefox 4. I still have all my preferences files as they were moved to the trash. Is there any way I can import them back into the new version of Firefox as it is very frustrating to have lost them.

    If you used the option to delete settings, or whatever it is worded when uninstalling, Firefox will remove all your important data information from profiles for all installed versions of Firefox, and you will then need luck and a file recovery utility to try to restore the information.
    You mentioned files being moved to Trash, I was hoping you may still have the required original files. I use Windows XP, and I realise Macs use different locations for files, but I think the files have the same names.

    Note the last article discusses problems when bookmarks are lost, and some of the possible reasons and solutions. Obviously I do not know what has actually happened in your case, and whether or not you used the delete option I initially mentioned.

  • I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?

    Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.

    If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
    Otherwise two options:
    Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore.  But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
    The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder. 
    iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version: 
    http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
    Here are locations of your backup folder.
    Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup

  • My Events from my Iphotos are no longer available on my ipad or iphone. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    I used to be able to access my Events from my iphotos on my ipad and iphone. They are no longer available on either device since upgrading them

    I have seen this problem before. Does it also ask you for a voicemail password (even if you don't have one). If so, call your carrier and have them deactivate your voicemail password and it should be fixed. What happens is, it asks you for your voicemail password and the default way to listen to voicemail is to call a number to listen to them. However, the iPhone has a Voicemail tab where all of your voicemails are stored, but the default probably got reset during your iOS upgrade.

  • Apple worked on my Mac to fix password problem and lost all my bookmarks. Is there a way to get them back? I have tried talking to apple tech. They can't help

    I had a problem with not being able to send emails from certain sites. I pd a tech at apple to fix it. They couldn't so went to apple store. They erased all pass words in administrator and on firefox. Somehow then they did they they erased all my book marks which were pretty important to me. I didn't have them back up that I am aware of. Now apple said they can't do anything to find them. I searched around and found a few under different things and several were just codes.
    Is there anyway to restore my book marks?
    Thank you

    If you use the Time Machine on your computer then you can try to find an older copy of the places.sqlite file.

    There are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore bookmarks.

  • I accidentally sync both IPhones and IPad to my Mac, so all of my pictures keep saying on all of devices.  Is there a way to take them off all of my devices?

    I sync all my devices, both IPhone and IPad not realizing all of my photo's would keep saving everywhere.  I have resolved that issue, I just needed to find out if, there is a way to delete all of the photo's off both IPhones and IPad, but not from my Mac.  Is this possible?

    Hello, bethannfromct. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photo albums from the device you will need to remove the sync preference in iTunes, see the steps in the first article below.  You will need to process these steps for each iOS device.

  • So, I want to gift my old iPad  there are one or two apps that I'd like to pass along as well that are no longer available but function perfectly. Is there a way to pass them on to the new owner?

    I'm new to groups. So bear with me. I have a first generation iPad that I want to gift. There is a game on it that is no longer available but continues to work just fine and I'd like to include it with the iPad. Any way to do this?

    Thank you JB. I will try to shut down the analytical optimism that runs through my brain and live with this "ain't gonna happen" scenario...someday.
    I listen to a NPR classical music station and every year they give away a pod or pad(64G) that has a fine collection of classical music already installed on it. If iTunes is the only way to put music on an iPad how are they able to do this  and still give away an iPad that someone can "make their own"?

  • I just synced my iphone with my ipod and lost all of my messages, contacts, and pictures. I didn't mean to do this. Is there any way to get them back, or should I just restore the phone

    please help

    Hi julierochelle,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you have a recent backup, then restoring from the backup would be the easiest way to get back on track.
    Is your iPhone set to automatically sync when you connect it to iTunes?  You can change that to manually sync so that you have more control.
    The two articles below should help you with this:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
