I was synking my I-phone 4 for the first time. After synking I lost all phone and email contacts. How can I restore or undo the synking process?

If you have a backup, you can restore your last backup with itunes.

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.

Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

So how can I continue in the good old fashioned way?
Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

Syncing my phone for the first time, i lost the contacts in the phone

Hello-
I've had my phone about a month and i've been phyically inputting contacts as I go.
I also have a work imac and a home imac where i sync my cal's and contact info.
When i plugged in my iphone today to download the newest update, I did the sync thing with my home desktop, and once finished it wiped away all contacts created IN THE PHONE.
Can someone explain why/how this could have happened?
And is it only a one-way device for syncing?
I can't seem to retrieve any of the data that I had put straight into the phone.
Thanks

Did your home computer have any contacts in Outlook (since you said you normally sync contacts with your work computer)? If there weren't any contacts in Outlook, it would replace. If there were contacts in Outlook it should have given you the option to merge or replace and you would have (should have) chosen merge.
If you re-sync with your work computer, it should sync all of the contacts back onto the phone. It is a two-way sync, but gets a little trickier when you go between multiple computers.
I would recommend disabling auto sync on your home computer, so you can plug in your phone and have control of what's "checked or not checked" to sync before it starts to sync and does stuff you don't want it to do...

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)

I tried to sync my phone for the first time and it restored and now I have lost all my data. It there any thing I can do?

If you don't have a backup made by iTunes, your data and settings are gone.

Horrible customer service with a bad phone for the first time in years!

I would like someone - hopefully a manager to review my communication with the customer service representative last night. Apparently you only staff sales staff at night and I would not buy anything from this person. My first call rather than telling me that the support staff were not in until morning she just disconnected chat on me without saying as much as good bye. I then started a chat on the service line and got the same person. i asked her if i could speak to a manager or supervisor - she left me sitting on chat for over 20 minutes and never came back. These messages have been sent to email for your review. Aside from having purchased the most expensive phone that does not work along with an insurance plan that I was told only replaces phones with new phones vs refurbished (this is not the truth) and the policy only kicks in after the factory warrantee is over so I sit with a droad less than one year old certified refurbished that goes on and off as it pleases and randomly dials numbers. This is better than the original phone which I paid between the phone and the insurance over 300.00 for less than 1 yr ago that decided to slowly die and completely died xmas eve after I was in a car accident. Then the phone came with no sim card after I paid extra for shipping and the local store would not give me a sim card would only sell me one. This would be the retailer were I purchased the phone - a verizon retailer.
I have never in my life had an issue with anyone on the phone until last night - i was asking for one of my lines that is eligible for an upgrade next month to change it now so I can get a working phone or US Cellular has offered to buy out all four of my plans. I have always been a fan of verizon and never had issues other then never getting my rebates..........I have not received this one which still does not appear in the system and we have had 4 people submit the info now. (Because I sent the phone back I can no longer give you the numbers unless I find the paperwork copies i kept). A couple years ago I had the same thing happen when i purchased my phones from a verizon store - the rebates never came. That has really been my only complaint other than this current phone is horrible - the first one was brand new and slowly died over a couple weeks. I spend two hours troubleshooting the problems with a very nice man on the phone - he went above and beyond what he needed to do to test this phone Then the certified refurbished phone came with no sim cared - we were very specific that we thought it was a combination of a phone defect and the sim card. I paid extra for shipping so my kids could still reach me and it came with no sim card. I called and you all send me to the verizon store in Monona WI where i purchased the phone for a sim card and they would not give me one without charging me...........so I had to wait again for you to send me a sim card. Well the phone is slowly dying again this time with random on and off and random dialing while fully charged or even sitting on the charger itself. I do not think my request of the young lady was that big but point blank she did not want to talk to my if I was not buying. She should not be on the phones - you do not disconnect from people in anger and you do not answer a chat and just leave someone sitting there until they hang up out of frustration. In my office that would be grounds for immediate termination (I do not want to see anyone lose there job) but she needs serious training. She cannot handle conflict management, she cannot simply answer a question or tell you that a department is not available until morning - all understandable answers. Hanging up on someone or just leaving them sit there - not acceptable. I get paid 75.00 per hour of which she has wasted approx 5 either on the phone filing complaints or trying to get in contact with you - who is going to pay for my time because of your staff and her tempore tantrum. My 7 yr old would get in trouble for behaving that way. I expect a resolution to this issue today! I expect a phone call from a manager today! If I do not hear from someone i will file a complaint with the better business bureau - put an article in the paper in Madison Wisconsin about recent service decline in verizon and I will cancel all of my accounts with your company as well as have my husbands attorney dissolve the contract for his business and his technicians can use another service. (He is scheduled to had phones out on Monday - that will no happen if this is not resolved)
Thank you - I look forward to hearing from you today to hear how you plan to reconcile this issue.
Sincerely,
Tammy <Personal information removed for privacy.>
(The conversations were saved by email so you should have copies of both the hang up and then the call where she just left me sitting and waiting! If you do not have copies of the emails I do please feel free to ask!

I tried for 30 minutes to get to billing and all I could get was a computer that wanted money, no option for service rep. I had to change the date on one of my payments and ever since I have been getting texts saying I missed a payment and I had to call them. After I went through the aboved mentioned I finally called the new business line and was able to get transfered to billing. The lady was rude and didn't want to wait on my responses. She said I had schechuled it for the 1st and that why I was getting these texts , I was holding the paper, gave her the conformation number and told her it was for the seventh, all of a sudden the phone starting breaking up. I never had problems like this till my idenity was stolen and some guys got into my checking account, we caught it early and was able to close the account and open another. I had verizon on auto bill in the account and that was the only one I forgot put in the new info. Of course it was returned as closed. As soon as I saw this I checked the profile and changed it. They charged me the fee ( of course) and I called them to explain why this happened and apologized. Ever since then I have been treated like I'm a bum and that I don't pay my bill. I have been with them since 2000 and I'm thinking of changing it in September when the contract is up.

I am using an airport express to stream from iTunes to my stereo. My router is a net gear type G. Setting up is no problem for the first time. But, when I close iTunes then restart I have to reset (using the reset button)and reset up. Wanna do it one?

Using a. Airport express to stream from iTunes. My Router is a Netgear type G. The express sets up fine and works the first time. When I try to use it at a later date after closing then reopening iTunes I have to physically reset the express and then go through the process of finding it again. Is this normal?

I have a 3rd generation (802.11n capable, 2.4Ghz only) airport express, my problem is that I've tried using it to extend my network and that brick wall, no matter how close I get the express to the room, the signal and throughput in that room becomes abysmal.
As you might imagine, brick is a lot like cement, and it will not allow much of the wireless signal through.
Regarding your Express, there is no such thing as a 3rd Generation model....yet. You likely have a 1st Generation AirPort Express. Check and confirm the Model No on the side of the Express. A 1st Gen model is A1264.
Here's my problem, I don't think the express supports "extending" a network from a wired network jack.
The Express can "extend" wirelessly, or using an Ethernet connection. The configuration for this is very simple, but post back if you need it.
The jack just seems to be shut off
Have you temporarily turned off the wireless on a laptop and tried to connect it using an Ethernet cable to the wall jack as a "test"?
If you can get a good Internet connection this way, then you know the Ethernet cabling and jack are working correctly.
On the other hand, if you cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop during this "test", then this indicates that the Ethernet cable or jack is not functioning correctly and the wiring will need troubleshooting before you can proceed any further.
I need to create a whole new wireless network in this room for this configuration to work?
AirPort Setup will take care of this for you automatically during the configuration of the AirPort Express.
If I have an apple TV connecting to the express and an AppleTV connecting to the extreme, will they both be visible when connected wirelessly to either network?
Yes
Will I be able to connect to my network seemlessly?
Yes
Post back after you have confirmed that the Ethernet cable and Ethernet jack are functioning correctly in the temporary "test" mentioned above. Then, we will continue.

HT4859 how long does it take to backup your phone for the first time using icloud?

I have never used Icloud before and now my phone wants to be resotred so I am trying to back everything up using Icloud it just dosent seem to be moving and it just continues to say estimated time ...

Hello there jspin11,
The amount of time that the iCloud backup will take depends on a few factors the 2 most important are the amount of data to be backed up, and the internet connection speed.
I found a great resource for troubleshooting iCloud backups named iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992.
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
SettingsiCloud Backup settings are controlled on a per-device basis from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
To view Storage & Backup settings:
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your device's name. From here you can:
View the size of your backups and see the storage used by each app.
Enable or disable Backup for each app.
Delete Backups.
Buy more storage.
If you're out of iCloud Storage space, you can apply several solutions:
Exclude Camera Roll and other large data from iCloud backups of your device by going to iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and choosing your device.
Remove some of the larger files on your device, such as large audio or video files, from your Camera Roll in order make more space.
Remove existing Backups.
Purchase more storage.
For more information about managing and using the Storage & Backup settings, see this article.
If an issue persists and you are not able to resolve it using the methods discussed in this article, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

Synced phone for the first time, and all my contacts are gone. Please help

I had to upgrade the iOS to 5. And all of the contacts are gone. Is there a way to recover them?

How did you get the contacts loaded onto the iPhone in the first place?
If you used iTunes that would imply the "source" of contacts was either on your computer (e.g. Outlook) or perhaps through a one-time upload from an e-mail service like GMail. In either case, your contacts should (might) still be where they were when you originally put them onto your iPhone.
If all your contacts were manually entered into the iPhone, then you're out of luck since they are not backed up, unless you set iCloud up to sync your contacts (in which case they'd still be in iCloud).

I keep getting a notice on opening Firefox for the first time saying I need to update and when I click on it the thing keeps saying it is connecting. It does not look like a real Firefox request so I've been closing it.

Every morning when I turn on my computer and start Firefox I get a notice that I need to update Firefox. When I click to do so it just keeps running saying "Connecting".
I do have a Print Screen of it and would send it if you want.

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How long do I need to charge my phone for the first time?

How long should I charge it before using? Anyone knows?

Hi Virginia,
It's probably best to just let it charge to 100%, however, if you needed to use it before it got to 100%, it won't hurt anything to do so.
Cheers,
GB

I was updating my IPhone 4 for the first time and now it's backing up and the green bar hasn't moved since it started over 2 hours ago

What should I do? Or should I leave it?

Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
Apple to be checked.
