Updated iPhone 4 with ios 5 using new MacBook!
Ive had a MacBook as my laptop broke. So set it all up
& decided to plug my iPhone 4 in for iOS 5 update. The following is what I done:
1. Backed up my iPhone to iTunes before going out. Took ages!!!!
2. Started to download iOS 5 to iTunes & went out.
3. Next morning updated iOS 5 to my iPhone 4
4. Restored my phone
Conclusion :
Phone has only some of my apps (most recent arent there), all of my photos, videos,
texts, call history, notes, bookmarks. But no contacts!!! So basically my phone is exactly
the same apart from no contacts & half apps missing.
Can someone explain what is going on??
The texts & phone history dont show no names just numbers as if I never had contacts.
Seen a lot of people mention check iCloud settings etc. Am I not right in saying I didn't have
iCloud until I updated to ios 5??
This is very frustrated please someone with knowledge & know apples complications (which is
everything) reply with their views on this.
You can only sync an iPhone to ONE computer.
So if you plugged it into a new computer and did an update, then yes all your data is lost.
If you still have your old computer, or it's harddrive, you can plug the iphone into it and restore from the last back up.
There is a warning on the screen of new computers telling you that all data will be lost if you sync your iPhone.
So users have to accept this window to continue.

How do I update iphone 4 with ios 4.2?
How do I update iphone 4 with ios 4.2?
Do you mean that you want to update your iphone that currently has 4.2 to the newest software 4.3.2?
If so, then update it as you always do, via itunes. Click Check for updates.
If you want to upgrade to version 4.2, then you cannot as 4.3.2 is the latest. -

Tries updating iPhone 4S with iOS 6, update failed and now phone stuck on itunes logo
So i tried updating my iPhone last night to ios 6. Soon after the update began, iTunes said an error occurred and the installation stopped. now my phone is stuck on the itunes logo with a usb plug under it. I have tried everything i know of. turning the phone on and off/trying the reset thing with the power/home button does nothing. plugging into the wall does nothing. when i plug the phone into my computer, the sound of a device being connected happens, but iTunes does not recognize a device. no message pops up about a device in recovery mode or anything. I uninstalled then reinstalled everything apple-related, did not fix the problem. I'm not overly tech-savvy, but if anyone has any suggestions, lemme know please. ive spent well over 5 hours trying to fix this thing to no avail
OK i figured it out. you have to put it in DFU mode before itunes will recognize the phone.

Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?
I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?
The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from? -

How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC?
Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive". Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

After I synced my iphone (4S with ios 8.1.2) using itunes with MS outlook on my new PC , suddenly all my contacts without telephone number and what I have the name of the contact only ?
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.6. I recently received an iPad with IOS5.1.1. I want to update my IOS on my phone but the computer I use is no longer hooked up to the Internet. What do I need to do? Also, does my iTunes need to be updated? It is whatever was available last July. Thank you for your time and courtesy!
To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

Try this article if you haven't already
This is the only possibility that came to my mind when reading about your issue:
"If an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is not recognized in iTunes on Windows, the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) may need to be restarted" -
How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.
That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.
