Old iPhone Gonna End Up Costing Me Somehow?
I just got a new iPhone and gave my old one to my dad. There's no SIM in the old one yet, but it still gets internet access, iTunes, App Store, etc. Does this mean that my old iPhone is basically like an iPod Touch right now? Or, am I gonna get blindsided with charges somehow on my next bill (assuming my dad doesn't make a purchse on iTunes or the App Store)? Right now he's only using it for the apps I have on there.
Not possible to place or recieve any calls, the same for SMS, or access the internet via the cellular data or internet network without an active SIM card inserted in the iPhone. The same applies to a no longer activated iPhone with the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone. Internet access via an available wi-fi network is completely seperate from internet access via the cellular network with an activated iPhone. If the iPhone is no longer activated, there can be no charges via the cellular network.

I need to sinc my iphone 4 that I bought in the summer of 2011. I've never done it before and when I plug it in to the laptop it tries to sinc to my dad's old long gone iphone?
This laptop was used by him when he had a iphone a year or so ago but he has since changed to an android phone.
This is the only laptop we have and he has no use for the itunes or anything iphone related now so how do I get Itunes to forget his phone and let me connect mine so that everything on my iphone can backed up and so I may proceed with all the updates out there to bring it current....while still losing none of my stuff.
it was only plugged in for a second and now my ipone setting about page says "Danny's phone" which is what his used to be called but all my stuff is still here...???Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

How do I get recent pictures back if I restored my old iPhone and it brought back the old pictures but the new ones are gone?!?
Sorry your pictures are gone.
you should be doing this for all your pictures/videos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 that way you can sync it back via itunes. -
i got the iphone 5, got some pics and msgs and contacts on it, and when i connected to my PC to restore my previous info from the old iphone, all the new stuff are gone, how can i get it back, thanks for help.
The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -
When restoring my backup from my old iphone via my computer to my new iphone, it gets all the way through the restore and then at the end it says there was an error and doesn't restore. Doesn't say what error.
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.
If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

My less than 2 week old iPhone 5 has gone into recovery mode... I've been trying to restore all day using itunes but just as the restore is about to finish, error 21 comes up. My phone is essential for work and this has caused me endless problems today. I am disgusted with this, I need a reliable phone. Please someone help me get it working again?!
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
My daughter has previously had an ipod which was linked to my itunes iphone account.
she now has a new iphone and has linked this to that account and now she receives all my contacts apps etc when she syncs her account.
How do i create a new itunes account for my old iphone so that i can transfer data to my new iphone and keep the two seperate so that when she deletes all my contacts and apps and then syncs her phone again we can still be compatible.iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

When I first signed up with iCloud (and still had Mobile Me), my contacts all double or tripled, or more in my contact list. When I went with Lion and fully integrated iCloud, that issue resolved itself. I got a new iPhone yesterday, and when it was up and running, everything was fine. This morning, I notice that my contacts are all duplicated again. My personal contact is in my phone 10 times. How do I resolve this? My iTunes sync setting does not have me syning my contacts, it should just be in iCloud. Thanks for any help.
Hi BCHR,
If you are having issues transfering your content from your old iPhone onto iCloud so it can be transfered to your new iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful:

If i recover the old phone can i still use it after i get my replacement one?
You will not have the old iPhone after the replacement - replacement
means they give you a new iPhone in exchange for your old one.
If your iPhone has been in the sewer, there is little chance it will recover.
And if it does, it most likely will fail in the near future. Use your insurance
to replace it. -
I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?
This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.)
