New iPhone 5S: 1Gb used by "Others" ?
Hi,
I bought an iPhone 5S this morning. I've not configured wifi / icloud / not connected in iTunes. I've downloaded 0 apps, taken 0 photos, etc. My iPhone and iTunes said I've used 1 Gb by "Others".
I've only 11,9 Gb available....
Why ?
i have the same problem. im guessing it just happens with the iphone5s. hopefully apple will release a fix

How do I install apps on a new iPhone 6 that uses a different Apple ID than the one used to purchase the apps?
Sign in to the iPhone or connect the phone to the computer and sign into the store using the original ID and download the apps to the phone?

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Just bought a new phone and want to import all my app settings and information. I have heard all the complaints about iPhone 4s running iOS 8 and don't want to update until I have it preinstalled on a new 6+.
Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
or would I have to upgrade my 4S to iOS 8, backup, and then restore the new phone. I need to ensure that my 4S powers on and works so I can receive trade in credit for it (~$200), so this is worth a bit to ensure that my 4S stays functional.
ThanksYou can load a backup from an earlier iOS version onto a device with a later iOS version, but not the other way around.
If you're going to do this, I'd recommend doing a backup of your 4s to your computer (not iCloud) and load the backup onto the 6+ from the computer. You can try an iCloud backup/installation, but also do a local backup in case something goes wrong. A local backup is more comprehensive than an iCloud backup, and in my experience it loads more reliably. -

Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.
iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes. -
How can i cancel an at&t contract on iphone 5 for use in other country
how can i cancel an at&t contract on iphone 5 for use in other country
Contact AT&T and ask about paying the early termination fee. You'll also need them to unlock it.
In any case, you need to contact AT&T as they have the final say. -
I bought my daughters new iPhones (4s) for Christmas. They love them except that when another iPhone user text one daughter, the other daughter gets the messages and same for the other daughter's text. How do I make these independent of one another without putting my family on separate ITunes accounts?
When you were setting the phones up you should have been asked if you wanted to use the phone number or an email address for FaceTime/messaging. My guess is you used the same email for both phones. Just go in and change it. That or you have the same iCloud id on both phones, I'm not using the cloud so I can't help you there.

I have a new Iphone 5
Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
Also tried manual
TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
Also tried with a new CD
No fault during sync, but no musicGood.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish). -
My daughter got a new iphone and gave me her old one. How do I now sync it with ITunes under my name?
I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer. -
TS1398 My new iphone 5c wont use my wifi even though it shows I am connected
My new iphone 5c will not use my home wifi even though it shows I am connected in my settings. I was able to use my home wifi from my old phone with older software. How do I use my wifi from home. The home screen does not indicate I am connected to wifi. Thanks
Restart your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
Use Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone 5c.
Attempt to connect.
If you are still having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.

Are new iPhones easier to use internationally?
Hi,
Thanks of posting this question. Have you figure it out? I cant find definitive answers anywhere about using iPhone internationally. Very frustrating. When i call Apple I get answers like "U.S. laws work in the U.S." They basically dont know. But I see people using their smart phones abroad and i doubt they are paying International rates.
I am about to travel for one year all over Europe, Russia and Middle East. I am on Verizon plan in the U.S., but don't want to add International plan - too expensive. I am going go freeze Version for a year, which will allow me to use my iPhone for internet when there is WiFi.
I would like to buy an unlocked Apple 6 (no contract) but only if I can buy a local (Turkish, Russian, French) SIM card in the foreign county and use my phone both as a phone and a device to search internet.
Second question. If I buy iPad with cellular, can I insert local SIM card without any problem?
Somebody said "unlocked" is not the same as "factory unlocked." Is the situation the same with new iPhone 6?
Greatly appreciated!
IrinaThanks, if you have another minute can you explain this? I am sorry if my questions seem rather primitive and thank you very much for your help; I would really to get to the bottom of it before spending half a thousand $$.
"It will be unlocked worldwide, but will not support LTE worldwide."
What does that exactly mean "unlocked worldwide" if i cannot put any SIM card into It? Is it "unlocked" for JUST using with WiFi or GPS? Why would they even use the word unlock?
Are most of the phones in the world on LTE? I understand LTE means just high speed wireless communications. So are you saying that with the "unlocked" Verizon phone, I can walk into a mobile phone store, put the SIM card and make phones calls using their LTE? But with Apple's "unlocked" I wont be able to do it, if after T-mopbile releases me from the contract?
Thanks,
Irina -
How do I synch my old iTunes music with my new iPhone? I last had an iPhone 2 years ago and I have all my music on iTunes showing on my laptop. But I can't find any way to download it to my new iPhone.
Just connect the new iPhone and sync. You will need iTunes 10.7 or later to work with an iPhone 5, so if your version of iTunes is older, you'll need to upgrade. If you have iTunes 11, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113
You select your device via the button at the upper-right, e.g.:
something the instructions don't make clear.
