Fair enough, but iCloud isn't equivalent to a stand-alone free e-mail servicee like Hotmail, and here are the reasons why—yes, you have a right to greater reliability if you pay for e-mail, but there are reasons why Apple's communications strategy is inadequate even given the fact that iCloud is free;
It's free. If you need reliable e-mail, pay for it.
If you have a response to what I said, please go ahead. Personally, I wouldn't rely on iCloud for business-critical e-mails, exactly because it's free and doesn't come with a contract that you'd get from a paid provider. But that doesn't begin to answer the contention that Apple's response hasn't been adequate given all of iCloud's characteristics, including the fact that it's free.
Do what you want, you are responsible for your choices, whatever they are.

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

Is it so that Apple only gives waranty in the country you bought your iPhone?

So, if I buy my iPhone in e.g. Thailand. And I live in another country. Is it necessary that when it brakes, I have to go to Thailand to use the waranty? Or is there an international waranty like with a MacBook Pro?

You can assume that despite the word " may " the iPhone warranty is not international and is restricted to the country of purchase as you correctly assumed
not that it is relevant but the EU counts as one country for iPhone warranty purposes

ITunes only gives iPhone 5 the option to restore from backup or eject

I know this question has been asked in the past, and I have read many threads and articles on this question, but I still have not been able to find a way to backup my iPhone 5 (running iOS 6.1.2) to my computer without losing all the data on it.
Brief explanation of my problem.
I purchased an iPhone 5 new back in December 2012 Removed it from the box, powered it on and started entering my contacts from my old (non-smart) phone by hand. After done entering my contacts, I then proceeded to setup Messages, iTunes, the App store etc with the Apple ID of my wife's phone since we really don't have a need for separate Apple ID's.
All works fine with all our Apple iOS devices.
My problem lies with me not being able to plug my iPhone 5 into my computer and being able to make a backup to the computer. No matter what computer I plug the iPhone 5 into, I get the Welcome to Your New iPhone screen. If I right-click on the phone in the left hand column, my only options are Eject (or Restore from backup... if I plug the iPhone 5 into the same computer that my wife's iPhone has been backed up to) as seen in this image.
How do I get the phone to be recognized by my computer so I can do a backup to the computer like my wife's iPhone. I currently do NOT have a backup anywhere of my iPhone 5?
Is the only time you can associate an iOS device to a computer is when it is brand new before being used?
By comparison, I can plug my iPad 2 (running iOS 6.1.3) into any computer (be it the one it is synced and backed up to, or a completely different machine) and iTunes will show the device, ask to update the firmware if an update is needed, and allow me to see what is currently installed, drag and drop items to certain apps that allow it, see the breakdown at the bottom of the screen as to what percent of music, apps, pictures, etc are installed on it and such.
So, why can't I see my iPhone 5 in the same manner when I connect it to a computer?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
If any further info is needed, I will be glad to supply it.
Thanks in advance to all that respond.

I would like to preface that I have NOT tried what I am about to post.
I came across this forum post that seems to answer the question I originally posted above.
The post is will itunes erase my iphone if I set it up as new?
Based on this post, it seems that if I create a new library using the hold Shift Key while starting ITunes and then selecting Create library, and then starting iTunes in this new library, when connecting my iphone I should be able to select the Setup as new and then based on the postings in the above link, give the phone a name and it should backup the phone without deleting anything from it.
Again, I have not tried this myself as I finally broke down and created a new user on my PC to do the backup. I came across this link after I had finished my backup.
Just thought someone might find this useful.

How do I remove a suggested email address on iPhone when the suggestioned address DOESN'T have a blue i next to it?

I want to remove some email addresses from the list of suggested email addresses which appear in iPhone's Mail app.
All of the ways I've found so far to remove suggested email addresses involve clicking on a blue arrow or i next to the suggested name. However, the suggestion(s) I want to remove have nothing on which to click. How can suggested addresses be removed without something to click?

Here's the solution (it's what you suggested):
If the old email address is in the contacts no blue circle i appears. The blue circle indicates it is in recent but not in contacts.
You need two step procedure:
1. remove email from contacts (try doing a Search for it if necessary);
2. and then remove from recent by starting a new email, starting to enter email address (which brings up the Recent suggestions), then click on the blue circle i (which should now be there because you removed email address from Contacts), select Remove from Recent).

I try to open apple store on iphone and the language is in chinese how do you change back to english

I bought an iphone 3 and when I tried to log in into apple store the language is in chinese how can I change the language into english

You haven't mentioned if the iPhone is in Chinese or just the Region Format.
I'll try to help the as if the navigation is being done in Chinese. Usually you need access to another device so you can navigate in a language that you understand.
Go to Settings>General. If the iPhone is still in Chinese, you can still navigate to two just by following the settings icon.
Scroll all the way to the bottom. The bar standing alone at the bottom is "Reset," avoid that. Look at the group of topics just above the reset bar. The second from the bottom is "Intrernational." tap that.
There are two groups of topics, three above and two below. Focus on the two below and select the top one of those two.
Again, if the iPhone is in a laguage you cannot read, you may need to do some experimentation. You're looking for the words "United States," but you may need to settle for anything that uses a character set that you understand. Select ity and you you be able to navigate the rest.

Isn't there somewhere either on this site or somewhere similar that gives iphone users the ability to check their software on thier device and shows diagnostics after scanning?

I do not remember for the life of me where I was once able to check how my iphone was functioning but recall I did it straight from my phone. Is anyone familiar with what I'm referring to and where it's located? I appreciate any info on the subject. Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there is no such program.

Misspelled email address when login to iPhone for the first time

Hello everyone,
I have quite a big issue with my iPhone (I have iPhone 5c).
When I was creating my apple id for iPhone for the first time (after I purchased it) I added an unexisting email address by accident (I never had or used that email as a domain I misspelled does not even exist...).
Now I cannot access my phone at all (I needed to change a SIM card) and when I turned my phone back on, it showed that my phone was assigned for a particular apple id that is impossible to use - as an email (which is also an apple id in that case) and its domain,do not exist ...(it was even impossible to verify password after I accessed iPhone for the first time).
I did not realized I cannot switch it to the other id to unlock my phone...as to change main apple id I would have to do it through the old one and this is - as I stated above - not possible at all ...
using iCloud is also impossible for an above reason (cannot log in as I couldn't verify my password for main apple id).
I have an additional apple id I use for an AppStore (that's how I managed to log in here)
Does anyone have any idea/advise what are my options now?
I am unable to use my phone at all because of that
Thanks in advance!

If you turned on Find My iPhone turn it off, then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents & Settings.

Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

Hello,
I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
Regards,
Michael

Start here:
Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
Apple - Support - AppleCare
From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

I am having the same issue.
There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!? "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number. I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

My ipad was changed normally and easily but my ipod is stuck and of course is not listed on my devices on icloud....please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello oshalaby,
To get it to your new Apple ID, you would need to change it back to your old on so you can turn off Find My Device and turn it off. Once that is done, change it back to what you are currently using now. Take a look at the article below for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Regards,
-Norm G.

Will the Apple Store give me a replacement iPhone 6 the one i have now has a clicking noise when you press on the screen. I have only had it for about 8 weeks is it a manufacterin fault or what.

My iPhone 6 has a clicking sound coming from the top left of the device as if its no aligned properly with the frame.
Ive only had it for about 2 months, the iphone its self is in pristine condition no bumps or scrapes, in fact i treat it
like a new born baby. Will the apple store give me a new replacement or i am wasting my time i have got a clue
never had this or any problem before with iPhone's before. Its not something you want having paid £620 i live
in the UK.

If they determine the sound to be a manufacturing defect, then yes, they will replace your iPhone with a refurbished unit of identical specs. The replacement will have the same warranty as your original iPhone, for as long a time as what is left on your iPhone's warranty at the time of exchange.

Suggest Apple to give iPhone 5 to the 1,1% of people affected....
