    Hello.
    I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop.  I had my computer off a whole day.  I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
    Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
    You have two computers?
    iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
    I system restore.  Everything is gone.  None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
    Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
    Yes, that tends to delete everything.
    Or you restored everything from a backup?
    Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
    Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Make sure you are signed in.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
    Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .

  • Why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    Impossible to say without more details. Is the iPhone locked to a carrier, and if so are you using a SIM from that carrier? If you believe that the iPhone is not carrier-locked, where did you purchase the iPhone and was it sold unlocked or did you get a previous carrier to unlock it? And are you using a SIM from a carrier that officially supports the iPhone?
    People will need much more specific information about your issue before anyone can offer suggestions.
    Regards.

    If the phone was previously owned and is locked to that owner's Apple ID the ONLY way you can activate it is to get that person to release Activation Lock. This is an antitheft feature of the phone; stolen phones are useless.
    If you purchased the phone new you created the Apple ID, and will have to remember it. If it is only the password you have forgotten go to https://iforgot.apple.com

    Any ideas why I can't text my friend  my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing

    Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage.  If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number.  If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.

  • What's rhe MODEL of a replacment verizon iphone 5?

    I got my replacement verizon iphone 5,I find  the MODEL is MD656,while MODEL of my original iphone is MD654!It's said MD656 belong to a sprint iphone 5,I don't know way?

    The replacement is a refurbished iPhone 5 that Apple has installed new battery and any parts that needed repair plus the case.  In the process they would have flashed the CDMA chip to whatever carrier it was to be connected with, in this case it may have been Sprint but is now Verizon.  The iPhone is still the same, just now set to operate on the Verizon network.

  • Why I'm happy I bought a Verizon iPhone... and not At&t

    For years, my brothers (and we are all adults... very mature... haha) have rubbed their iphones in my face... always showing me how much better their phones were than mine.  They kept taunting me asking why I didn't get an iphone... and then smacked me with the fact that, oh yeah!  My provider doesn't have the iphone!
    Well, the glorious day came and the Verizon iphone was announced.  Whats more, I was ready for a new contract!  I was so excited!  They then had to rub in my face that their network was faster and they can do data and calls at the same time.  I countered with the more 3g and better CALL service... but of course, this didn't matter to die-hard At&t customers...
    I've had my phone since Monday, and absolutely love it.  I am absolutely thrilled with it.  Then Friday night came... the weekly dinner at the parents, where the Verizon iphone and the At&t iphone came head to head.  My on brother asked for a speed test.  Yes... At&t was faster on the iphone 4 (the verizon iphone 4 beat the at&t 3gs that my one brother still has.. he'll be ready for the 5 with his contract renewal).  There was no doubt in my mind that an iphone 4 on at&t would be faster that the one on Verizon.  I then asked how many calls they dropped this week... They had a few... I had none... a phone that serves its purpose PLUS the extras... still sounds better to me...
    Then the moment happened.  My brother's 3gs dropped a call... then couldn't make any or receive any.  He thought it was his phone because his is about 1.5 years old now...  So I called him from my verizon phone.  The call went through... then after a few minutes, his call dropped.  He tried calling my mother, who also has the at&t iphone 4... it didn't work.  She tried calling him... didn't work.  My other brother jumped in... it seemed that At&t was having network problems!  I was able to get a call through to all of them for a short period before they would drop my call. 
    As my brother finally got a call through to another at&t subscriber, he was burdened with having to say "Hello?  Hello?  Can you hear me?  Hello?  How about now?  Can you hear me now?"  I couldn't contain myself.  I pulled up my youtube and set my phone in front of him with this playing...

    The best satisfaction came when he asked to borrow my phone so that he can actually make a phone call.   Way to go verizon!  May not be the FASTEST network... but I'm happy to say that it is the most reliable!

    lol...that's priceless. i golf with 3 friends that used to be verizon users and all switched 2 years ago to get an iphone. i have an android. when they first got them, they would activate their gps golf app just because they could to show off their new toy (even though in phoenix, the courses we play HAVE gps built in to the golf carts...lol). they would input their cores into their apps that kept track of their handicap, scores, driving distance, etc (mind you, my android could do all of this as well). but then it came...we were running an hour and a half late and were meeting our wives for dinner. we play desert courses out side of the city. i called my wife to let her know we'd be late and not to show up for a while. they all 3 could not and asked to use my phone. normally i would've gladly handed it to them, but because they had been SO childish about showing off their toys i simply said "sorry...i can't. you guys all switched carriers and are now KILLIN my minutes since you are no longer in verizon's network." now i had told my wife to call their wives and pass on the message to meet us later....but i didn't tell them that because it was just WAY too much fun watching them sweat for the next 2 hours over how angry their wives were going to be that we would be at the restaurant 2 hours late.
    if you REALLY want to up your brothers, you can pay for the hotspot feature ($20/month)...just for a month. the next time they can't send or recieve data, activate your hotspot feature and tell them they are welcome to use your wifi signal from your phone to make their iphone useable again....lol. and if they ever need to borrow it to make a call just let them know that you can't because they burn all of your minutes (if you have a limit) by remaining with at&t...lol.
