Please help...This isn't my phone...
I have upgraded and syncd this phone and have somehow got all the contacts from this computer on to this phone and have lost ALL of the original contacts...How do I find the old back up of this phone?
When you did the update it would of prompted to setup as new, or restore from a backup - what likely happened was you went through setup as new, and synced with the default Contact program on the computer.
There are 1 thing you can check.
Connect phone to iTunes - Right click on iPhone under devices - click restore from backup -Click the drop down menu and choose the desired backup - If the backup was made AFTER the update.. tbh your probably out of luck \=
If not then choose the backup before the update and click restore -wait 5-10mins and check the device

HT4623 Could you please help me to unlock my phone
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black)and it's already out of contract so I think it's eligible to unlock as well.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carriers in other countries. I'll appreciate for your response.
My IMEI numbers is: 012427009166282
My hardware serial numbers is: 86025A71A4T
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it. no one else.
Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify
You should not leave your iphone information on a public forum. -
Dear Apple,
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
<Edited by Host>Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world. -

I have windows 7 and every time I try to play or add a song. It says itunes has stopped working. Please help this is frustrating.
a further message box states that Data Execution Prevention has closed the program.
Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes? -

Please help this: JNLP association extensions confict with arguments
Hello, Please help this:
I use <argument> tag to transfer some parameters to JWS application.
I also use <associatio> tag to associate a specila file(such as .zzz) to JNLP. But when I doulbe click .zzz file, my application only get "-open" and file path as argument, those parameters in <argument> tag in my jnlp are lost!
What should I do..Is this a bug for JWS? No.
..association extensions tag conflicts with <argument>?Quoting the 'JNLP Specification', section 3
'JNLP file', part 5 'Descriptor Information', under
association element/mime-type attribute
"An application making such a request
should be prepared to have its main
method invoked with the arguments
-open filename and -print filename
instead of any arguments listed with
the application-desc element." -
my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks
In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

How to get storage on my phone again. PLEASE HELP this has been an issue for a LONG time now.
almost ALL of my iphones memory is being taken up by "other" i only have 1 GB of pictures & under 1 GB of apps. I actually had to delete all my apps just so i would still have space on my phone. I am not looking to buy more memory. My family cant really waste our money on that kind of stuff right now. I have tried restarting my phone but when i back up to icloud my phone is full of memory still. No i have no problem with getting all my pictures off my computer. But is there a way to reset my phone and ONLY keep my contacts. No other memory stays on my phone just my contacts. that way other will go away? If i need to go to the apple store i will go there. I just need to know what to do. another question i had was, now that i downloaded the icloud pannel, if i were to delete my icloud backup account, would all my information, like contacts, notes, reminders, etc, still be saved on icloud.com ? so i could just reset my phone completely. Get all my contacts off of icloud.com. & download all my pictures from my laptop onto my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER. this has been a major problem for me for about a year & now its getting to the point where theres nothing left i can do. It's really stressing ALWAYS having to get online to try to find a way for my phone to not run out of storage. Please and thank you.

Hi can anyone please help. My I Phone is in recovery mode. I have loads of pics and vids including my little girl counting to ten for the first time.
Can I recover these files or have I lost them? I lost the phone last week and it was returned working but with an update to install I did this and it shut down.
If anyone can please help I would be eternally in your debt I have loads of sentimental pctures in here but cant get to them.Sorry, but if it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. If you had PhotoStream turned on, hopefully the photos will still be out there.
You have no choice at this point but to restore from your last backup. -
Please help. iTunes says to restore phone but then an error occurs while..
When I plug in my phone to my computer, it tells me it cannot read the phone and that I need to restore my phone. I press ok and then restore and it finishes extracting the software but ends there and another window pops up and says iTunes cannot restore iPhone "iPhone" error -18.
I cannot update any songs onto my phone or change any media on it because I cannot sync it. Please help me.
Oh, and one more. Whenever I try to play a song or video at a random part in the song/video the audio will stop for five seconds and then it will switch to next song in playlist or exit out of that video. If you fastforward past that 5 second time period for each song (each song has a different place where it stops) you can listen to the rest of the song. I have tried restarting my phone and reinstalling iTunes but nothing seems to work. AND its not just this particular phone. This is a replacement because my old one wouldn't turn on but before that problem occured this audio problem was still existing.
Thank youAssuming you have not unlocked or otherwise hacked the phone with 3rd party software check the following:
1. You are using a USB 2 port and not USB 1.1
2. You connect directly to a USB port on the computer, and not to a USB hub.
3. You are not running Vista 64 bit.
4. You are using iTunes v 7.5
If you pass all of these try a Recovery. Reboot your computer, launch iTunes, then hold the HOME button while putting the phone in the cradle. Continue to hold the Home button until the phone displays a message saying it is in Recovery mode. Then wait until you get an error or it finishes restoring. DO NOT remove the phone from the cradle before one of these two events happens.
If it still doesn't work take it to an Apple store or call Apple support. -
after there being an error in trying to update the software it said i have to restore my phone which i have done but says time remaining is about 24 hours . can you please help ? i just want to switch my phone on again .
Hello lyndsey1430,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I have a 8GB Ipod Touch and i know its not a lot, but in the beginning it was working fine. For some time now it wont let me excede even 1GB of memory. i have no games, no apps, not many contacts, hardly anything! only 249 mb of photos and camera and 23l mb of Music. i have backed it up and restarted it and everything and i am getting annoyed! please help me!! i cant live without my ipod!!! This is urgent!
P.S: i have 2 apps on my ipod that i would not like to loose! IF theres anyway to save them in the process of fixing my ipod that will be great!
Thank you!An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
