So I'm getting a new phone from a four to a 5s, and my 5s has been activated but now im trying to back up my icloud on my four, will it work even though its not activated anymore? and how long will it take?? someone help.

Someone please help me!!!

It may not back up to iCloud if it no longer has service. Suggest you back it up to your computer using iTunes instead. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then when setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore to this backup of your iPhone 4.

I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not.

From System Preferences/Help:
Reset your login password using your Apple ID
Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
Associate Apple IDs with your user account
Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
I don't know if it works.

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...

Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

I once created an account and changed meanwhile my Apple ID. Now, when trying to log in to iCloud, I get the message: "You are already logged in". I cannot get access to the account in the way, that, for example, the options appear on the right hand side.

What can I do?

Thank you, pvonk, but:
To be more precise: I am talking about the logging-in within the System Preferences on my iMac.
When trying to log in with the old ID, I get no access, i.e. it says "Try again"...-Trying the same with the new one gives me the result I mentioned in my first question...
Now I found out how to do it: I had to erase all accounts-then I could sign in with my Apple-ID. Thanks again.

Help - Ipod stuck in 'charging' mode even though its not!

Can anyone help? I charged my ipod this morning, disconnected it from itunes now the screen is stuck on 'connected - eject before disconnecting'.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this? None of the buttons seem to work.
Thanks

I have the same problem. I used my iPod in my alarm clock this a.m. Turned off the alarm - removed the iPod & it's stuck on Charging. The lock is not on - I tried turning the lock off & on. Cannot turn off the iPod. ITunes doesn't recognize it. I couldn't use it for my Nike pod with my run this morning & I'm now of course not able to log my runs!!! Someone help!

Getting a new phone from a Verizon store

Ok I need someone to clear this up for me please. I am a Verizon prepaid customer and I went to a Verizon Wireless store to buy a new Verizon prepaid cell phone because my old one is starting to fall apart. I was told at the store that if I wanted to get a new phone that I would have to get a new account and a new #. And that if I don't want to change my account or # then to go to a store like walmart or radio shack to buy a Verizon prepaid phonr and switch my account and # to the new phone my self. Has anyone heard of this? Is this really true? Thanks!

Has anyone heard of this? Is this really true? Thanks! That's exactly what you can do - buy a new pre-paid model, then call pre-paid customer service or follow the directions to activate it with your current number. Any money on account will transfer to the new phone...
Minniehaha is the pre-paid "expert" on here - she may see this and chime in with further advice!!

Can my laptop be repaired even if its not made anymore

can my laptop be repaired even if its not made anymore

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course, but note that, when Apple considers a Mac as "vintage" (if it was released 5 or more years ago), they haven't got more parts to repair them and your Mac won't be repaired. If it has got less than 5 years, it can be repaired without any problem

My iphone time keeps messing up even though its on "set automatically" and i dont know how to fix it

my iphone 5cs' time keeps messing up even though its set to "set automatically" the time doesnt change and i have no idea how to fix it. any help please?

I'm having the EXACT same problem! I have a great wifi connection and it all started right after I updated it.
I took it to the AT&T store and all they said that they could do for it was a "soft restart" which is where you hold down the lock button and the home button UNTIL you see the apple logo. And I did this like 4 times and it still messes up. When I turn it off and turn it on its fine for a few minutes but it slowly starts messing up again.
And I'm also having several glitches. Like when I just received a text message when my phone was locked I slid it and put in my pass code then it like turned off and turned on my phone. And sometimes the messages that I send disappear from my side even though I sent them. If I turn it off then back on it's there. And also sometimes when I text a person and hit send it like backs me out of the messaging system(it still sends the message right then) and back to the home screen.
I called 1-800-myiphone and the lady did a "soft restart" which they call a "hard restart" and it worked for like 35 minutes and then it messed up again. And my iCloud isn't backing up my stuff so it's not like I can just completely reset my phone.

I was prompted to update my apple tv. That was two hours ago and its still preparing update. How long does it take!

How long does it take to update Apple Tv. Its been more then two hours and its only in step 1 of 2?

Assuming your credit card info is accurate the entire transaction should just take a few seconds.
You don't need to download a new version of QuickTime Player 7 Pro. All you need is the email confirmation of your name and registration number. Enter that into your existing version of Player 7 and the pro features are "unlocked".

Calendar appears busy even though its not

Heyo.
So I tried out the 60 day free trial of MobileMe. Didn't like it and canceled after about 4 days. Now I have the "busy dots" on every single day on the calendar, whether or not I have an appointment on that day.
Before I used MobileMe I was using outlook to sync data. I'm back to using outlook now.
Any ideas?

OK I have more to add.
I don't think it has anything to do with MobileMe. Other people who have had similar problems attest its due to events that are in the past, or events that end before the start time.
I think I've isolated the problem to be with my contacts' birthdays. In outlook, when you add a birthday, it creates a recurring appointment starting in the year born with no end date. But when I view in a table view, it lists the "end date" as the same year as the start date.
When I don't have my contacts' birthdays in my Outlook, the iPhone calendar appears fine. Once I add the birthdays, those dots appear on every day whether or not there is an appointment on that date.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Thanks

Morning AndreD86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
and
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
Best of luck,
Mario
