Will I have to register my iPhone to both my cellular company and Apple if I reset it?
Hi. I recently forgot my Restrictions passcode and everywhere I search on Google, I see that the main solution is to factory reset it and restore it from iTunes. If I do this, will I have to register my iPhone to Apple and to my cellular company again, as if it was new, since a factory reset erases everything?
Thanks.
No.
The iPhone remains activated. Restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup does not require re-registering the iPhone with Apple or with your carrier.

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.
Have a look at this it might help

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?
Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?
I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem. -

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again. -
I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music
Hello hueycat,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music. To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network. I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:
Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
iPhone
With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
Select a shared library.
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4557
If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:

My new purchases will not sync into my playlist and get and will not show up on my iphone playlist of the same name, and I just tried to sync a new cd into my library and it is not showing up on my iphone.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.
Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud? If so, the data is gone.
If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing. -
My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?
WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try -
i have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

IPhone $100 credit?!! and Apple Repair Service Scam!!!
To Steve Jobs, the Apple Board and Customers:
While I am happy that Apple is concerned about their customers, (and I will debade that in a moment), I cannot believe that you (Steve and Apple) went ahead with this move. Are you going to give me a $10 a share credit for the stock I bought at $140 that is now at $130 because of this pricing move and this credit?!! It's the same thing! Are all the iPhone buyers now boo-hooing because they had to buy the iPhone and didn't feel it was worth $599? You do realize that you now have set a precedent for all future pricing cuts at Apple, as everyone that has purchased a system that gets a price cut will slam Apple with email complaining they paid too much, etc. I want a credit for the money I have lost due to the discounting of my stock for this rediculous iPhone price cut. You guys blew it!!
Second problem regards a service problem. My 12" powerbook to a drop off the couch a year ago. Still working fine. Decided to get the bottom aluminum case plate replaced, as it is causing too much pressure on the DC inboard recepticle for the power cord. Took it in and got a $600 cost. Ok, way over-priced, but better than new systm! Sent it out. Less than a week later, I got a call from App,e, saying that the service team that inspected my system needed to also replace the DC inboard (fine) and the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive worked fine at the store before sending it off. I qouted the back of the service agreement stating that any damage of the system in Apple's care is Apple's problem, so replace it, but not at my cost. The Apple rep said that this did not qualify, as the "crashed" hard drive was due to the drop. I explained there was not drive problem until Apple shipped it, so get the cost from the shipper insurance. Apple rep said the cost was mine to bear and they would not proceed with the repairs unless I agreed to replacing the DC inboard and HD at an additional cost of $375 (3 times market cost from local Appple authorized repair facility). I continued to question the HD crash. She stated that the repair facility said it crashed, no longer operational. I said I can get these parts for a much better price, send the unit back as is.
Well, unit came back and is FINE!!!! HD works perfectly!!! Ran a diagnostic (I am a certified Sun Microsystems and HP System and server administrator!!!) on the drive and no sector damage or HW problems from the read/write testing. DC inboard is still functional. Apple sent this to Flextronics International. I say, CHECK YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS APPLE, AS THEY ARE COMMITTING FRAUD ON THE APPLE CUTOMER BASE AND YOU FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS!!! I am not making this up, I have the documents proving this and my system is working right now as I type this. I hope to hear from someone at Apple to contact me on this issue, as the store and 800-MyApple jst softly skirted the issue with, "I'm sure there is a problem with the hard drive and it was not working at the repair facility. It is just on its last life and just happens to be working now." Are you kidding me?!!! I wonder if the New York Time would be interested in this problem?!!!
I also noticed the service agreement states that all replaced parts will be replaced with either new, reconditioned or USED parts. GREAT!!! They would take my drive out, put it in someone elses "crashed" drive and take their drive and put it in my computer and get a huge markup for nothing but labor!!!
I am glad I no longer own Apple shares, and anyone who does, beware of this and other devaluing business decisions or over-sight lacking of Steve Jobs, the Apple board and company!!
Sincerely,
Eric

Message was edited by: AppleCustomer&InvestorThe messed up thing is that I thought I could use the credit on iTunes over time as I buy music, audiobooks, etc., but noooooo, they won't let you use the credit for either iTunes or for the purchase of an iTunes gift card. Truly an empty promise. I purchased all of the needed iPhone accessories (docks, cases, adaptors) before the credit was announced! Now there is nothing else really relevant to buy from the Apple Store (retail or online) if they aren't going to let you use iTunes. I guess I could return the extra dock I bought and then re-buy it with the credit. Now, where is that receipt and packaging?? The only other things they sell for iPhone that I don't have are the crystal film and another one of those silly little adaptors you have to use for a car cassette device all b/c of the recessed jack on the iPhone. It shouldn't be this way, particularly with Apple.

I have previously submitted a book for printing three different times and Apple has told me each time it's unreadable. I have previously previewed it each time before sending and it was perfect. I have followed all other directions - updated software, all other applications off etc. What am I doing wrong?
Boot into Safemode and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Hi there cazalazu,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
