Sprint Iphone 4s... When I sync, sometimes it changes my phone number??? It has happened 2x now
Hey there,
a couple of times I synced my phone and it changed my phone number in itunes, and in settings>phone>my number
the problem was resolved by resetting the phone... though before I realized it, when I dialed my voicemail, it dialed the alternate number... which was a government facility.... not very fun.
The phone worked normally calling other people though and all other functions worked properly as well...
Has anyone else experienced this?
happened with IOS 5 and 5.0.1
thanks

Cool - yeah I grabbed that script as well. Going to go through my library and run that one as well. Seems to only be able to handle X amount of tracks at a time so will have to do it step by step. I have about 21000 tracks in my library and it didn't like doing all at one time
Its fine if it compresses the images a bit - not a big deal. Its only on my phone so its fine. I'm probably a bit anal about things but I hate having tracks on my phone with no images - if there are images available.
Thanks again!

I download apps directly to my iphone. When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?
If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
Good luck -
Where do Notes from the iPhone go when I sync with my Mac?
OK, so I have some Notes on my iPhone. When I sync it with my Mac, iTunes says it's sync'ing Notes, along with all the other stuff.
But then where do those Notes go on the Mac? I can't find them with Finder or Searchlight, or in iTunes. Shouldn't this be intuitively obvious in some way? Or am I just dense? Apple's online manual for the iPhone doesn't cover this, either.I don't understand.
"sync" means, "compare these things on device 1 with the same things on device 2, and make them both current, so that they both match."
When you sync iTunes, the songs in the iPhone's iPod app get matched with the selected songs in iTunes on the Mac/pc.
When you sync calendar events, the iPhone's Calendar gets matched with iCal on the Mac.
When you sync Contacts on the iPhone, those entries get matched with Address Book on the Mac.
So it stands to reason that there must be someplace on the Mac that holds "Notes things." If Notes on the iPhone go down some rat hole on the Mac, why would Apple bother sync'ing them at all? The effect for the user would then be completely nil. Except, I guess, when you sync that Mac with another iPhone -- those notes would go into the new iPhone and be visible there. Or after wiping all the data off an iPhone, sync'ing it with that Mac would restore them onto the iPhone.
But it would be un-Apple-like in the extreme for those notes not to go into a collection of TextEdit documents somewhere on the Mac. Did they actually flub this?? In a sync-coupling operation, is the more sophisticated device the one that CAN'T see these documents? Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?
What I would like (and frankly, expect) to be able to do, is to capture data, say, from a web page on the go into a Note on my iPhone (this much I've done, using the iPhone's Select-Copy-Paste feature), and then sync it into a form that I can capture and manipulate its text (and maybe even images) on my Mac. I can't believe that Apple wouldn't enable this in some way!

I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing. -
Are my wi fi passwords on my ipod touch for the various wi fi places I go sync'd with itunes? Will they transfer to my new iphone 4S when I sync that with itunes? Where can i find a list of these passwords associated with wi fi networks on my ipod?
if i recall correctly - if you sync the same iphone it does restore your wifi passwords - but if you sync to a different iphone it does not (for security reasons)

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?
You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account. -
I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

I'm unable to update my apps or download new apps to my Iphone. When I try I get a message "An unknown error has occurred". It was happening before and after the last OS upgrade. I've done a hard reboot with no effect. Any suggestions???
Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

We bought the new iphone 5s when they came out from at&t and my dad has completely shut off and won't do anything? It has not been in ANY water or anything else that could have caused this.
Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally. -
I can't access my game center on my iphone..when i open the game center, it just 'LOADING' but nothing happen...can sum1 help me?(& in 1 of the game,i check my frenlist & only found 1 friend but im not sure who that person is)
.local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
echo I am remote
else
echo I am local
fi
A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though. -
