Why is it so impossible(in the iphone) to share files with other devices?

i want to buy an iphone 4 but this sharing issue is struggling me down>>>>>please i want help because sharing is very with other devices like nokia is very important to me.............

File sharing on smart phones is generally through an app like Dropbox or similar. iPhone also provides file transfer via iTunes in many cases. On a non-Smartphone, file-sharing is generally accomplished through syncing to a computer or by Bluetooth file transfer (though phone-to-phone transfer is not generally possible).
So, file sharing is quite possible, but it will probably involve using some computer or service as an intermediary if the phones involved use different operating systems or don't directly support file transfer.

Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup. You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

Hey Cherielly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

How do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer. If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy or CopyTrans.

IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

Is there possible with the "Reminder" to share it with others??

The new feauture REMINDER. Can I share the list with whom i want thats having an Iphone or Ipad???

You can share calenders using iCloud, since reminders is simply an extention of calenders, I assume you can share reminder lists too.

Using the server to share files with the clients

Hello everybody!
I finally managed to install properly iFolder on a server, and the client on a few computers. Unfortunately, I was suprised to see there is no functionality to upload from the server to the ifolders structure.
I need to achieve this because the server I used is also used as a datacenter; I hoping to make the data available to each user directly on their own desktop using the mechanism integrated in the iFolder framework.
Obviously, I would like to avoid copying back with ssh or ftp the files to one local client, and forth to the server using iFolder.
The simplest thing would be to install a client on the server machine as well. Unfortunately, the folder monitoring function only works for graphical client, and my server does not have X installed.
So my last resort would be to connect by ssh to the server machine, then start a non graphical web browser, connect to https://localhost/ifolder/ and share each file one by one... Really time consuming and annoying!
Does someone have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers

Hi
AFAIK if you create a common directory on the server, then use the web
admin interface to create a shared resource, then add the users.

First, thanks a lot for your quick help. I am actually deeply impressed by the speed!
Now, I don't know whether it is because I could not explain well my problem, or just because I can not understand your answer, but don't see what you're exactly suggesting me to do....
1) create a common directory: Do you mean I physically create a directory (mkdir /pathtodata/)? Or I create an new folder in ifolder using the web interface?
2) What is as "shared ressource"? I cannot find any reference to this term in the user manual. Do you just mean I share the ifolder I created in the previous step?
3) Add the users: I imagine this is the step where I share the ressource with the user.
Again, I am really sorry if my hesitations are stupid and the answer is obvious, but I read all the documentation and I cannot figure out the answer.
Thanks a lot for your help

Why do that when we setup the iPhone, appears as the Standard Portuguese Portuguese of Brazil and Portuguese official (European) in brackets?

Why do that when we setup the iPhone, appears as the Standard PortuguesePortuguese of Brazil and Portuguese official (European) in brackets?
It's the only thing I hate about Apple. Please change for the Portuguese was invented by the Portuguese, and not by the Brazilians. As the English of England is the official, the Portuguese of Portugal is also the official.

"Official" according to whom? I don't believe there is a global body that decides which version of a given language is the "real" or definitive version. However, if you wish Apple to know your feelings on the matter, use the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

Apple today expands the itunes store to reach new 53 countries ... but not MOROCCO why !!!! even the iphone 5 will be released in 21 december in morocco ..

apple today expands the itunes store to reach new 53 countries ... but not MOROCCO why !!!! even the iphone 5 will be released in 21 december in morocco ..

new software that could be released through the iTunes online store for late December or early January, which was the iOS 6.0.2, wasn´t it?
No. The iOS 6.0.2 update was only to address issues with the WiFi chipset in the iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Whether a future software update will add LTE support to existing iPhone 5 units, none of us here can say.

Why don't appointments entered on the iphone sync to my macbook??

why don't appointments entered on the iphone sync to my macbook??

With the iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, when you select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes and the Apps tab that then appears on the right-hand side, are the apps that you want on the iPad ticked/selected in the selection list and have you then clicked on Sync at the bottom right of that window ? Do you get any error messages when you try to sync them to the iPad e.g. have you got the relevant iOS version on your iPad for them (Settings > General > About > Version on the iPad or the Summary tab on your computer's iTunes) ?

Why doesn't T-Mobile have the iPhone?

I want an iPhone, but T-Mobile dosen't carry it. Why is this? Will they ever?

Why don't they have it? T-Mobile's CEO has publicly stated that it's because they use a non-standard frequency range for their 3G network in the US. The iPhone is not compatible with the T-Mobile 3G network in the US. Until and unless they change their network or Apple decides to use a different chipset in the iPhone (Apple has given no indication they intend to do this), the iPhone will never come to their network in the US.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
