I have a new iphone 4S. i did as the shop said and backed up my old iphone 3S before connecting the new iphone. Now music titles in itunes appears but cannot be located. all music on old phone still! how to get it to new phone?

All the music in itunes has a little footprint beside it. My old phone - 3GS has all my music there and playing fine. But if I try to synch with itunes it says it will synch from itunes to iphone and so am worried I will lose all my music from iphone too. New iphone has synched fine in every other way - contacts apps etc. But no music! I would be grateful if anyone has any tips to get my music back into itunes. - I had previously backed it all up on a mobile hard drive but can't find the option to import all my music from there ..it was a while ago so won't be evverything. None of my music is bought via itunes. It's all just my old CDs - still catching up! Thanks in anticipation of your help. N

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

I'm trying to sync my iPhone4s, but everytime iTunes tries to sync, I get a message "This iPhone cannot sync because the sync session failed to start." I've tried restoring my phone, and all my software is up to date. How do I fix it?!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I am trying to delete apps from my Ipad. I have tried to hold the app down until the cross appears but the cross does not appear. Do I have to delete the app in I tunes first and if so how do I do that

deleteing apps for your ipad is disabled. If you are the owner of it go to Settings>general>restrictions and then turn deletieing apps back on.
If you have a jailbroken iPad that will proberly not work.
Hope i helped

What OSX was installed when you purchased your Mac? Even though it was installed you should have received the install disk(s) as the Utilities are on those.
If you do not have the install disk you can try contacting Apple and see if they can supply one,(explain you never received at purchase) you will need the build info of your machine, which can be found by clicking the Apple logo in the menu bar>About This Mac>More Info, and it should be in the first window under hardware overview. Model Identifier.

Iphone 4s always searching for network

Hi All,
I already tried the article that have suggested about
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
but it doesn't solve the problem. I even tried to restore to factory setting and replacing the antenna but still the same problem " always searching for network". I referred this problem on 2 repair shop but they said it related to motherboard. Is there service center for apple in Singapore or Philippines? What would be best thing to do for my current iphone?

You'll have to contact your carrier to get it serviced, copied from the iPhone service center for Singapore:
Out-of-Warranty Service
Please contact your carrier or an iPhone Authorised Service Provider for Out-of-Warranty Service Options

My iphone 3g always says seaching for service or no service just started about a week ago my wife has one also and hers is fine i tried resetting network and everything what could be the problem

my i phone 3g wont let me take call or recieve text messages it keeps saying searching or no service just started about a week ago my wife has a iphone also and hers is fine i tried reseting my network but that didnt help any thoughts i also replaced the sim card

I'm assuming you have this locked on a carrier...Did you take it to the carrier store and see what they say? You could try a restore but that most likely won't help...Sounds like maybe you have an upgrade in your future....

IPhone 5 always "searching"

I'm having the same problem. My iPhone 5 has been "searching" for 24 hours. During that time, I've flown to different states with someone else who has an iPhone 5 with Verizon and who has not experienced any issues at all. Given that, location can be eliminated as the potential trouble. I checked the bill...all current and paid there. The phone hasn't been damaged, dropped, or exposed to any type of trauma. I've tried reseting the network settings, restarting several times, and ejecting the sim card with no success. My iPhone is still "searching." Any advice, Verizon?

jriphonehelp,
I'm sorry to hear you have been having trouble getting service. If you've been traveling I'm sure the last thing you want is to be without service. Let's get that working for you again! I would concur with your determination that it is not location specific. The fact that you have been in multiple locations with someone else that has no issues makes that pretty clear. As you mentioned that you checked the account and there are no issues there that brings us to the device.
Have you had any other trouble with this iPhone? Do you have any kind of case on the device? If so, could you remove the case and powercycle the device. Does service return when you power back on or does it still search for service with the case removed? You mentioned you "reset network settings," you can also "reset all settings" without it deleting anything from your phone. If the problem is still taking place once you do that I would replace the sim card. I know you have been traveling, you can find a store near you here: http://vz.to/1aDzA92 .
Hope that gets you back in business so you can focus on your trip! Let us know if there is anything else we can do to be of help.
Sincerely,

IPhone 4 always searching for Network even if there is NO SIM inserted

I am facing trouble in activating my iPhone after restore. I am trying all possible reason to find out few things:
1. After restore my iPhone 4 is asking to connect iTune and when I am connecting it fails and says "There is some prblem with your iPhone". I think I can activate the phone over WIFI network but it never reach till that page. It goes to Language>Country>Connect to iTune and then it fails.
2. Even if I remove my SIM from iPhone, it is still searching the Network and doesn't understand and notify that "NO SIM".
My iPhone fell once and it was all fine but it asked me to reset the phone and I did...since that time I nevet been able to activate my iPhone but rest of everything is just fine and there is no physical hardware damage to the phone.
Also, I am based at Saudi Arabia and we dond't have Apple Store / Genius Bars to visit.

I do have an avtive SIM and it is Post Paid Connection which is activated and no problem with SIM.
I have to try only activating only by connecting to iTune as my iPhone asked so and it doesn't leave any option for me. Once I do that it is showing me the error attached to this post.

My iPhone 4S keeps searching even after I took out SIM card

My iPhone 4S keeps searching for service.
I've tried:
Taking out SIM card, then powered off my phone
Powered off my phone
Restarting network settings
Restarting all settings
Airplane mode off and on
This has been going on for about possibly two months now.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
After two weeks since this happened, I dropped my phone resulting into the back glass being cracked, and a better quality camera (haha), could this be another cause??

The device is obviously damaged.
If it has been opened by anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Center you are on your own.
If it has not been, take it to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement.

There are two iPhones associated with my one Apple ID. Will I be able to "find my other phone?"

i have two iphones on my Apple iTunes account. I would like to use the App "Find My Friends" to locate each phone but it seems it works only from the Apple ID not the phone number.
In order to enjoy many of the features sometimes it seems Apple wants everyone to have their own account. Pay for their applications twice. etc. I think this is terrible.
Does anyone know how I can set up my iphones so I can use Find My Friend?
Thanks

Same issue...I think I found it though, but have not tested with my other devices yet. You do it with email addresses though, not phone numbers. You can associate additional email addresses with your primary apple id. For example, my email address is the primary apple id, but my wife and kids all have email addresses associated with this account. That is how we can FaceTime and iMessage each other. In the Find Friends app, touch "Me" at the bottom, then "Account" at the top. Once you are signed in with your primary apple id, you can select one of the other email addresses associated with your account by touching "Send As." Again, I won't be able to test it until I get home, but that is how it should work.

HT4623 my iphone 4 microphone works ok on voice memos, but will not work on making or answering phone calls.

Just in the last month, I have been unable to talk on my iPhone 4 (32GB). All other functions are ok including the use of the Voice memo App.
I have no idea why the voice App microphone works ok but not to talk to incomming and outgoing phone calls

I'm Updating too 8.2. hope it fixes the issue.
if i know how can i fix this problem...

My iphone 4s blacked out you cant see anything but I white line, how do you transfer everything from your iphone to a computer

Next time make regular backups of your computer. The iPhone is not a backup device, and I'm sure you lost more than your iTunes library. See this user tip for your options: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
