Will everything be erased from my iPhone if I 'erased iPhone from find my iPhone'?
My iPhone recently stopped wroking because the lock button didnt work anymore, but I didn't find out until I took it to get fixed. I called in to my provider to get a new one (but they weren't able to send me a new one, so I still have the same one) and they told me to go to icloud.com and erase iPhone from find my iPhone. I got it all fixed but I'm worried that once I connect my phone to my iTune library it's going to erase everything on my phone. Is there anyway I can cancel the request to erase? It says
someone help!!

What if I delete find my iphone app, will it still delete everything?
Yes..
The FindMyiPhone app is for finding your iPhone (or someone else's iPhone). If your iPhone is in your hands, you really don't need the app to find it.

Please can someone help me with a problem I'm having with my garage band app?
Not to long ago I was using my garage Band app and I was making some songs when all of a sudden it closed on me I was so mad because I was in the middle of making a song so I never got to save it , so I continued to try to open the app again but now all it does is it seems to get ready to open but then it shuts off without even opening . I went to trouble shooting and have done everything except for uninstalling the app reason why is I'm afraid of all my work on there will be deleted and I won't be able to get it back.
I only know just a little about iPads mine is and ipad2 and I need someone's help is there a way for me to fix this without erasing the work I've done on there. And or should I just wait for garage band to have an update on the App Store and update it without deleting it? Please I don't now what to do.
If someone could walk me through what is wrong what I need to do and how etc.
thank you
Your fellow apple customer
Simachyahi .I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you

I am planning on purchasing an ipod classic to replace my old ipod nano. I am just wondering if i am able to plug it in to my itunes, and everthing will be transferred onto the classic simply? Or will it automatically delete all my songs as it will not recognise the classic? Also, will it inform me what to do when i plug the classic in, to set it up?
If you want to have the photos stored on an external HD, you probably should move them there in your operating system before you import into Lightroom.
But, if you don't yet own an external HD, you can import from the internal hard drive and later move the photos to wherever you want them to be, as long as you do it properly. -
My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.
Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account). -

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro. I am trying to add music onto my iPhone 5 from iTunes, but it isn't working. I read the discussions to manually add music, but when I try, I get this pop up message:
The iPhone “Miranda’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
So, I backed up my iPhone to the computer, in hopes that everything on my phone would not get erased. However, I didn't "erase and sync" yet.
My only concern is that the old iTunes library I had on my old Dell computer was with a different Apple ID, so how does this affect me?
Will everything on my phone get erased even though I backed up my phone? Why can't I transfer music onto my phone with my new iTunes? I've tried everything. Please help me!
I don't want to lose all my music from my iPhone. I have like over 600 songs, and the old computer I once used is now broken so I will never be able to get them back.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, if you back up your iPhone in iCloud, you don't need a computer to restore the backup. If you use a different library or PC to sync the device, it will be erased automatically, so you have to copy the iTunes library from the computer that you use to sync the device in order to keep all your data on the phone. The answer is that it won't transfer the library to the new computer: copying the iTunes library to the new PC is enough -
I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account (on my computer). I did so because my computer wouldn't register with itunes (some software problem) so I couldn't hook it up. I've now fixed my computer and want to hook my iphone to my itunes/apple account however when I do it asks me to choose a new phone or restore from backup. Well it was never hooked up to this account so I need to choose new phone, if i do will everything on my phone be erased?
Hello there, pullmyhairout.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great guidance for backing up your iOS device to your computer:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
Back up
To back up the content on your iOS device to iTunes on your computer:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
To check that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I had my iphone synced to my PC but everything got erased from my PC.So can i sync my iphone again to another or same PC again?
Hello CathyRox,
Yes you can sync them to another computer or to the same one, but since it will effectively be a new iTunes library, you will be prompted to transfer purchases or erase and sync. You can transfer your purchases to get the content back on your computer, and this article will help with that.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

As far as your calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, if you you are not already using icloud, I would sign into iCloud and sync that content to the Cloud so no data is lost.

Additionally, I think it would also be a good idea to backup your phone to your computer as well.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.
A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps. -

iCloud password works on everything but erasing all data. I got a new iPhone and need to wipe this one but am not sure how else to do this since the password is not working. Any suggestions?
Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]. -
I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
My computer crashed and I lost everything, when I sync my ipod will everything on it be erased
My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything. Once I connect my ipod will everything on it be erased?
That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:
