VZ Contact Transfer will not work on Wi-Fi; Synch with iTunes sets up mail

VZ Contact Transfer goes into a loop with Verizon iPhone connected to your Wi-Fi and does not work.
Your wi-fi network will come up right after registering VZ iPhone. You could wait until later to allow it to connect.
Otherwise, disconnect router to force iPhone onto Verizon 3G network and proceed. If you click the change phone number button, it will get you a new access code to your old Verizon contacts from Verizon back up. (Back up before signing up on iPhone)
Took me hours of fooling around to learn this on another bulletin board.
Also after hours of fooling around to set up mail, synched iPhone thru iTunes to mail, calendar, etc and the email accounts set themselves up.
Hope this saves you some time
Enjoy!

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

    i have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work  has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

    It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

  • IOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

    if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
    This is free of charge and can read your backup.
    and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
    but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
    if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
    - restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
    - rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
    - setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
    - click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
    or go to:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

  • IPad will not wakeup, turn on or communicate with iTunes on my laptop

    Our iPad will not wake up when the cover is removed from the screen. Pressing the "Home" button has no effect. Plugging the 30 pin connector in to charge the iPad does not result in the usual "beep." Lastly, iTunes does not recognize the iPad when I connected it to my MacBook Pro via one of the USB ports.
    The IPad was purchased with a retina display and is running the latest released version of iOS 7.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Updated the iOS and now my iPhone 4 will not work and shows the usb with an arrow to iTunes. iTunes on my computer does not recognize it and will not sync it!! I hate being with out my iPhone

When I try to sync my phone with the computer iTunes does not recognize it!! So now my iPhone is useless and I really need it back to working order!! Please help......Hilda

    Hello Hilda Louise
    Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

  • My ipod touch will not work the screen is black with a small white circle/wheel in the middle of it no matter which button i press and hold nothing happens

    My ipod touch stopped working. The screen is black with a small white circle/wheel with ridges/teeth in the middle of the screen. No matter what button is pressed and/or held nothing happenes. Can anyone assist me?

    Try the remaining items of:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least and hour try again.
    - If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I charged my ipod touch for a reset .. i put in my passcode and reset it and now it will not take a charge or sync with itunes ive tried 3 diff chargers and will not charge is this an issue with the contacts? all i get on the screen is the usb itunes pic

    help

    The icon is telling you that you have to connect it to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod then you should get messages that tells you what to do.

  • TV will not work as display without monitor

    When I got my mini I had to hook up a computer monitor through the mini display port to change settings for my Polaroid LCD tv. Once I got that working I unplugged the computer monitor and just started using my tv as a monitor via the hdmi out. Using the mini display port I plugged my computer monitor back up, but something changed somewhere because now when I try to unplug my computer monitor the tv loses the signal and goes black. I check all the settings for the tv and the monitor and they are fine. I confirmed the tv is set as the primary monitor. I tried zap pram and that did not help. I even tried reinstalling the OS and that didn't help either. So, to sum up: Both the tv and monitor work fine when the tv is connected with HDMI AND the monitor is connected through the mini dispaly port at the same time. BUT if I unplug the monitor from the mini dsplay port, the tv loses signal,goes black and will not work via HDMI by itself.

    With only the TV attached to the mini, try starting in Safe mode. Instructions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    Hopefully that will result in a useable screen on the TV. If so, go into Displays preferences and set the resolution you want. Then restart normally. Hopefully the last setting used in Safe mode will now persist.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • HT204291 Netflix will not work with IOS 7 on my HD TV, The screen comes up but will not play video. It says i need to disable mirroring. I dont have a Apple TV any suggestions?

    Netflix will not work on my HD Tv with the New IOS7. All other and movies clips work fine. The netflix screen says you need to disable mirroring to play. It plays on the ipad but just the Netflix screen on the tv. Any suggestions?

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!

  • I down loaded the latest version on my iphone , not the phone will not work... the itune icon is on the screen with a plug symbol showing to plug in ....phone wont work ...help please

    Your phone has entered recovery mode.  You will need to connect it to a computer with iTunes and restore it to factory settings.  Hopefully you have a backup (either iTunes or iCloud) to restore from.
