"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.

Thanks!Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before -
Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
Documents say
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
And my Ipad (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc) shows a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
Both are in the same network,
Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
. iTunes is open on the computer
what can i Do ???Hi Skydiver119, and tks for four interest.
I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
You indicated " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
I disconnect the wire,
and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
So, I can not sync via wi-fi
I appreciate if you can help me. -

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable
Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

Hi, My friend has just updated there 3GS to IOS6 and once it's done, 2 screens appear. first one says, Update complete, there are just a few more steps to take. Press continue and another screen comes up with the itunes symbol and the cable and says connect to itunes. Once plugged in, on itunes it reconises the phone and has the loading symbol up, but it doesn't loads anything and can't press anything. Anyone know why and how to resolve this?

It does not come up anywhere on the Itunes application on my laptop.

Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud? On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both. What experiences has the community had? I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates. (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1) Thanks much!
It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 -
I am in hotel room. I can see my ipad is connected to my airport express, but I have no internet connection. I tried to plug the cable directly to my PC and it worked. How to solve this?
You can change a password for an Apple ID. However, now whoever finds the iPod will know his email address and I assume that the email address is his Apple ID.
Apple ID: Changing your password
According to the terms of the iTunes Store, you have to be 13 in order to have an Apple ID. -
My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.
The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.
