Why when I preordered the new Iphone was the tax estimated at plus minus $55 it sould have been about $18. I was told it was based on the full $649 value of the phone, but that's not right. Sales tax is on the purchase price.

Why when I recently preordered the new $199 I phone was the sales tax estimated at +- $55? It should have been +- $18. The supervisor said the tax was on the $649 value, but that's not right as sales tax is charged on the sales amount. What is this charge for?

Complain to your elected officials, they're the one's that write the tax code. I know that in CA and RI, sales tax is collected on the unbundled price(full) of not just the iPhone, but any cell phone.

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

    My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode.  I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails.  I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything.  I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode.  I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
       I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner.  I had saved the scan to my  desktop before I tried to import it.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

    Hello Bunk94,
    It sounds like iMessage may be activated with the wrong phone number. Let’s see if we can resolve this. First, go ahead and sign out of iMessage and FaceTime:
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204065
    Sign out and back in to iMessage and FaceTime
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Afterwards, turn iMessage and FaceTime off and restart your device:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

    Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
    Restart your device.
    Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
    Thanks,

  • My old iphone was broken and i just got a new iphone (3gs) the problem is i have lost all my data especially the contacts, is there anyway i can get my Old iphone contacts back on the new iphone??

    I had ios 4.3.3 on the old one i am downloading the ios 5 in my new iphone

    You should ahve been syncing the contacts with your computer all along.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Everything should be on your computer as you should have been syncing.
    If you failed to sync everything with your computer, then you can try restoring from the last backup.

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? An iPad will only show in Windows Explorer if there are photos on it that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites - if the only photos on it were synced to the iPad from a computer then the iPad will not show in Explorer.
    That is the computer that the iPad is synced to ?
    If they were originally synced to your iPad from a computer then to remove them from your iPad connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes under 'devices' (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC)
    And then use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of the screen to remove them
    To remove all synced photos select an empty folder on that tab and sync that.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Connect the device to iTunes on your computer (you can do this with a USB cable or by wifi if your software is up to date). Select your device from the 'Device' list in iTunes (Top right corner in iTunes 11) and navigate to the 'Photos' tab. Ensure that the 'Sync Photos' checkbox is checked, select the items you want on your device and click apply/sync.

  • Can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39  got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

    can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39  got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

    What photos are you referring to? Are these photos that are in the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums on the device you backed up, or are they in different albums? Are you signed onto the new phone with the same iCloud ID? Are the Photo Stream photos ones that have been taken in the past 30 days?
    When you set up the new phone did you set it up using that backup?
    Cheers,

    I ordered the new Iphone 6 and it will ship on 10/31, on 10/15 I completed the paperwork to return my iphone 4 8GB, but it appears when my paperwork was emailed to me and I didn't notice until today.  It has my return phone listed as an iphone4 16GB...is this going to be an issue?  I was quoted a trade in value of $200 and need to apply this to my iphone 6, if the trade in is not going to be $200 I need to cancel.  I did call the verizon store today and the woman told me it should be no problem, but I keep hearing horror stories about this trade in program and I need to be sure.

    susan522,
    Congratulations on the purchase of your new iPhone 6. Ordering a new device can be very exciting and we understand wanting to be able to get your hand on it as soon as possible. With the trade in program the device that is being returned should indeed match what was selected at the time the trade in was processed. What we can have you do is reach out to our trade in team to see if this will cause any problems with the amount you receive once you turn in the iPhone 4. You can reach them here http://vz.to/1pJQcUb by clicking in the "How do I contact you" section. It will allow you to send an email to the team that handles the trade in requests personally.

  • My iphone was hit by a car, however the back is totally intact as well as the sim card. Is there a way for me to back up my phone to my computer/icloud, so when I get my new iPhone, I can sync all of my old data to it?

    Need help with my broken iPhone4s. It was hit by a car, and I need to know how to back up my data to my computer/iCloud so when I get my new iPhone I can sync it to there and still have all my old data, such as contacts, photos, apps, etc.

    If you had iCloud backup turned on, and it made a backup - yes.  If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on - but were using iCloud for Contacts, calendars, etc.  You will get the contacts and calendars, etc back.
    Purchases made with your appleID can be redownloaded as long as they are still available in the iTunes store.
    If you connected your phone to a computer with iTunes, there may be a backup on there as well.
