The iPhone 5 is terrible...want to return!!!

I bought my iPhone 5 in December and I spent a ridiculous amount of money for it...even buying it at discount! Since then, my data has been exponential and I end up owing over a hundred dollars plus in data overage charges! I was told to turn of the LTE service and try to run on WiFi as much as possible, but now even that is not working. It's rare if I even get service at all and the WiFi can never connect or stay connected. If I'm going to be paying so much money for this device, I would appreciate it if it worked correctly. I would like to drop this phone and go onto a different phone, how can I do this?

Yes, there are known WiFi issues with the iPhone 5. Apple of course does not acknowledge this, but if you search on the web you will see massive threads on Apple and associated support forums. I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 and the difference in WiFi connectivity is huge. If I walk towards the back of my house, I lose connectivity - but I stayed connected with my iPhone 4, and I've done tests w/ a very old iPod Touch and it also stays connected. I've tried removing the case and that seems to help sometimes, but not all the time. My next step is to get a new router and see if that helps. I've read that downgrading wireless security to WEP helps, but I want to try the new router first. Yes, I could take it back but I really don't think that will matter (all I can do is exchange it for another iPhone 5).
As far as the data overages - I agree with Elector - you lost your unlimited data plan (as did I) when you upgraded to your new phone.

Hello, I found an iPhone and i want to return it.

Hello, I found an iPhone and i want to return it. How can I contact the owner of which is your ?
The model of iPhone is 5 and he has restored. I want to contact owner via email or phone, all I could see is only hidden iCloud account.
Thanks.

The problem is that my country is not an Apple Store or an Apple representative only authorized resellers who do not have what I do, and if i go to the police, likely to stay with them so no chance. I thought i may talk directly with the owner to find a way to return it

I have an iPhone5 16 gb and a 120 gb iPod. All my songs won't fit on the iPhone of course. How can I just get some of them on the iPhone? I want to keep all my music on the iPod. I am VERY new to all this so be gentle and thanks.

You Sync the Music you want on the Phone via iTunes on your computer.

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

How do I know the iphone 5 I want to purchase is factory? unlocked?

how can I tell the iPhone 5 I want to purchase is factory unlocked?

If you take out an ad in the paper, you generally have to provide an address, which the paper should be checking for legitimacy and keeping on file.
If you sell something on ebay, there is at least a dispute mechanism.
craigslist is completely un-vetted. You can use it if you like. As far as I'm concerned, it's the wild-west of the Internet. Anything goes, no-one is held accountable. Sure, you can meet someone in broad daylight in a public place... no garauntee that the phone isn't jailbroken, or hacked, or stolen. At the moment, stolen only matters if it's a CDMA phone, provided you don't mind being charged with receiving stolen property if it gets traced to you.
Hopefully, that will change with the new stolen phone registry that's in the works. Still wouldn't do business on craigslist, though. Maybe I'm just old and crotchety, but I can tell you for sure that no-one there will rip me off.

When I updated to iOS7, and I'm sorry I did, I had about 50 songs synched to my iPhone from my MacBook. After the upgrade my list has an additional 500 songs via iCloud. How do I eliminate them from the iPhone? I want only the songs I've synched.

When I updated to iOS 7 it added over 500 songs, via iCloud, to my song list. I do not want those on my iPhone. I want only the 50 or so songs I've synched from my MacBook. How do I delete all those iCloud titles from my list?

Just found the switch in settings. Problem sovled. Thanks anyway!

I currently have the iPhone 4 and want to upgrade to the 5S, but would that require a change of plan?

Im not sure if it would cause a 3G to 4G change?

The data plan is the whether or or not you have a 3G or 4G phone. However if you have the unlimited data plan and want to upgrade under contract, you will be required to change the data plan to a tiered data plan.

I have the iphone 4, i want in intall the update for ios 6. it says that i need 2.4 GB, is the update going to use all of that space? that is the only amount of space available i have left on my phone.

i would like to update my iphone 4 to the ios 6. i have 2.4 GB available and it says that in order to update my phone i need that much GB available. If i download this update is it going to use all of the remaining GBs that i have left? or will i still be left with 2.4 GBs?

From my experience, it doesn't. It will download the file, then will have to extract the file for installation, and after that, delete everything not needed anymore. That's what seemed to happened to me.

I can use the Iphone in Venezuela????????

Hello,
I do not speak well English
But I want to do a question to them, be really hit with the technology of the Iphone and i want buy me it and to bring it to my country.
My doubts are the following one:
1. - I can use the Iphone with any cellular operator GSM?
2. - That I must make to bring it to Venezuela ?
Been thankful by its aid

It might be theoretically possible, but you would have to buy a US AT&T plan with a US address, and then pay international roaming charges, which could be expensive. However, WIFI hotspots should work fine.
You would really be well advised to wait until the iPhone is introduced in Venezuela with local calling plans, local support and repair, etc.

My Google tool bars are gone and info. says 5.0 does not support...I want to return to 4.0

I had a Google tool bar with Google Bookmarks, auto fill, spell check and several other "buttons" all are gone and information I located said that Firefox 5.0 does not support...I am not happy...I used these tool bars all the time. I want to return to Firefox 4.0

I am very unhappy...will probably return to internet explorer...I used my google tool bar all the time...it was the most used and most important part of my computer.

Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iphone?

Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iPhone?
I want to free up memory?

IT depends on what "data" you are asking about.
if you are having storage issues on your phone, I would be happy to make suggestions.
You can store pictures and documents in Dropbox or Google drive. These are cloud storage apps that keep your information stored off the phone, but available any time. You can send pages documents to either app in a different format for editing.
make sure you delete old messages, phone logs, email, as they take up space also.
