I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?
Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

Every time noise comes out my ipad via ipad earphones or speakers it sounds horrible nothing like what it is ment to sound like
Hi there Jamzog21_,
If I understand correctly your sound is not clear on your phone coming from the speaker. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Ever since I upgrade to the 7.1.1 software many of the tools I used to use I can no longer use. I used to be able to download pictures from Iphone to my laptop- now the laptop does not recognize the iphone as having any pictures on it.
I keep losing internet whereas I can even Google Maps.
I keep getting "TRUST THIS COMPUTER" whenever I plug into the USB port- I answer yes- and it keeps comming up
Any one out there in Iphone world that has fixed a simular issue- I hate going to the Apple store- it takes too many hours- even with an appointment- there must be a friendlier way. I will try this and seeEver since I upgrade to the 7.1.1 software many of the tools I used to use I can no longer use.

Os 5 update for my iPhone 4, the phone shows 7.2 gb of "Other"
After downloading os 5 for my iPhone 4, the phone shows 7.2 gb of "Other" and I cannot get it to sync. It will load contacts and apps but no music. I've tried restoring it but that doesn't help. Anyone else having this issue?
Well finally after spending about 6 hours restoring and updating, I finally got it fixed... Apple, you really made a mess of this one. Love the products but please make sure you got the bugs fixed before you release something!!! That was a stressful pain in the butt!

Just want to say I have an iPhone 4s and only in this app, if I move the phone toward my face like I'm going to talk on the phone, Siri pops up. No idea what that's about. Other than that this all is absolutely splendid.
Sorry it has taken so long for someone to reply to you. What you want to do is go to Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak OFF.

Is there a way to use the features of the iPhone without the phone. I say this (and it may sound crazy) because ATT is not in my area, but I would like a nice PDA that works well with my mac. I would like to someday use it as a phone, but for now I can't. With the recent price drop a PDA/ipod for $400 doesn't sound too bad.
THe most recent updates of iTunes 7.4.1 (2) do INDEED brick your phone if you have hacks on them, resulting in an endless loop that can't be restored.
Still haven't heard of anyone who was permanently bricked from this. Some confusion for a day while it was sorted out, is all.
Apple has shown now several times that they can quickly and easily rewrite code to assure that you do not add hacks nor use them on your iPhone.
And vice versa from third parties
It's ironic that Apple used to call cell carriers control freaks.
Informal surveys show that half of users savvy enough to hang around iPhone forums have modified their phones. Customization and applications are desired features, and available on every other smartphone. This is not the far simpler iPod market that Apple treats it as.
Attempting to stop unlock attempts is Apple's perogative. Trying to stop all modifications, especially after leading people on for six months about hopes for native development, is yet another bad PR move... and ultimately futile.
However, I agree that this is not the right forum to promote such mods. -
I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

My PC died and in turn so did my main iTunes library. My iPhone was synced to the library that is gone. Now when I try to connect to another library, it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library. Any way around that? I don't want to lose the music that is on my phone. I am looking for a way to tell the phone to "forget" the old library and let me start working with a new library.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup. -

how do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??
How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem. -
how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!
You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph. -
When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?
Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

Sorry, thought that was the body of the question, so the title is long. When I plug in my iPhone 4 (newest update) into my Mac laptop (current version of iTunes, Snow Leopard), it does not read the music, apps, etc., or open iTunes at all. It syncs the pictures, but it doesn't not show as a USB device, either. I have gone through the Troubleshooting assistant, restarting both comp and laptop, using different USB ports, etc. If it is of note, when I look at the option to Sync through Wifi on the phone, it says that sync will happen when my computer (by name) is "available." Not sure if this is a phone issue or laptop, leaning towards laptop, since iPhoto syncs. Willing to buy Lion if that will fix the problem! I would appreciate any help that is given.

You have written a very long story, and I admit I have skipped most of it. But I think the question is you are on iOS 7, and cannot get the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) on your computer because your OS X is too old.
The fact that you chose not to update your hardware does not mean you could not update your software!
OS X 10.5 is very old (about four years). iTunes 11.1.5 (current version) requires at least OS X 10.6.8 to run. Very likely, you could upgrade your computer's software to at least OS X 10.6.8 and then download the current iTunes on it.
You would start here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then you would update the OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.6.8 over the air, then download iTunes (or update to a later OS X, as the current version is 10.9.2).
