I ordered an iPhone 4 for my mom. I told her to have one of the (iPhone 3G/S owning) relatives to back up her iPhone 3G. Just back it up.INSTEAD of simply backing it up, our relative did something, I don't know what, but called me to ask why nothing restored but 4 songs. All of her data is gone!
I don't know what was done or why. I am in a different state, and they did the opposite of what I instructed. Is there ANY way to restore backed up data IF it was indeed backed up through iTunes? They're using a Windows computer. Is it somewhere in a system directory? Can Apple tech support help? I'm livid right now because I assured my mom that all would be fine if she did what I told her to do.
My iphone asked if I wanted to update and I hit yes. It said to plug into ITunes so I did. My only option is to "restore". It didn't ask if I want to backup first.I don't have service on phone and I don't want to restore. How can I go back to "not" restoring?
Today, I got instructions from AT&T on how to unlock. I was able to perform backup on iTunes of my iPhone 4. But, I am not able to see the option to do 'Restore from backup' in iTunes. Currently, I have the Gevey SIM in the iPhone, not the original AT&T SIM.
I did some cydia updates, against my better judgement, it worked ok for a day or so then choked while txting. Its an unlocked 3g on ios3.0. I think it was mobile substrate, I ssh'd an older version, a deb file but no luck. Is a restore my only option? I have my old 3.0 ipsw.
A little while ago I set the inbuilt browser to display full screen in 'Options>display options'.I've now tried to restore ordinary display and the option has vanished!!
Under display options the sections should be: Full screen view Page overview View images Load images Switch window Page info.
I used to have them all but now I only have 3: Page overview View images Page info.
Where have the rest gone and how do I get them back?
Due to glitches with the 5.1.1, I performed a back up, repair and restore as recommended in these forums. However my contacts seem to have been wiped out and it doesn't give me the option to import contacts stored on my Google account. All in all the 5.1.1 has been the upgrade fro **bleep**.
I bought a 3G from the US, which came locked of course. It's on the emergency call screen. The phone was running 4.0.1 as I was told by the seller.
I've tried Redsn0w but using 4.0 as all the tutorials state, no dice. I've tried making a 4.0 firmware in pwnage tool, no dice, iTunes doesn't like me going backwards on the firmware builds.
What are my options? Even if I could get the past activation I could log into safari and get wireless and then go to the unlock website in safari.
My mum just gave me her old iPhone 4 and told me to wipe all the old info etc off it. So I did what I thought was factory reset, now it just has a logo of a cable pointing to something that says itunes and has a slider to slide for emergency numbers. I don't even have a mobile so don't know about iphones now I think I have seriously messed up her old phone.Â
I have this problem with my Iphone4 on IOS7.1.1. One fine day without i realize my kid played with the phone while in the locked mode. Since i know the phone is locked, i didn't bother to look what they were doing. Now I realize the potential problem, that when they play with the phone they started to click on emergency button and started to press random number on the keypad. Last month billed it start to hit my pocket. Below picture some of the number that were made.Â
Question : How do i disable or get rid of the emergency call on the locked button.
I have just got my iphone 4 30 minutes ago and put in the sim card, connected it to the computer via the cable and on the screen i am faced with a picture of itunes, and a usb cable with an arrow pointing to the itunes. below are the words: "slide for emergency". The problem is: itunes won't detect my iphone 4.
I ran Redsnow and pointed to iphone 1,2 restore and everything went fine but when it restarted it went back to emergency call screen. I want to get this iphone up and running with a tmobile card that I bought to start with and go from there. Is there a way now? before I ran redsnow iboot was 596.24....what do I try now I think I have all on my desktop red ultra etc.
I am thinking that it would be a real enhancement (although I hope I would never actually need it) to have an ICE entry that is available without unlocking my phone. I use a passcode on my phone so if I were incapacitated in some way it would be good if emergency responders could get to my ICE entry. Ideally it would also have a place to list meds that I take and any important medical conditions that might be relevant. Obviously, not everyone would want to list this stuff in a way that could be access by unauthorized people, but many (maybe most) people would really benefit from it. For example, if I had high blood pressure and was taking meds for it, that might be sometheng that an EMT or ER Doctor might want to know before treating me.
I can't find anything definitive about whether (or when) my iPhone 4 will (or won't) be able to receive the national emergency alerts (WEA) via the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS).
None of the carriers seem to support iphones. I find it hysterical that a national system has been implemented with the msot popular phone out there iphone unable to receive these alerts?? Am I missing something?
My stepson lost his phone so I turned off service and reported it lost. In the meantime I got a new SIM issued and put it in my old Blackberry for him to use. 4 days later he found the phone. I took it into AT&T to have the SIM changed over and we are unable to get past the screen that says Emergency call only and displays a number pad. The screen saver says in red Iphone is disabled connect to iTunes. I did bring it to my house to try and connect to itunes but when I did that it asks me to put the password of the phone into the phone, which I cannot do as it only will let me make emergency calls...
There are several weather related 3rd party apps being sold in the Apple App Store that offer to provide push notifications in the event of severe weather at the iPhone users location. However,I believe these apps are NOT pushing the warning out to users immediately when the National Weather Service issues the warning.I suspect it is due to how the app developers are handling (and footing the cost) of pushing the data. Many times the warning notification comes AFTER a storm has passed.This is extremely dangerous and it would be appreciated if Apple could investigate this problem, which could serve to help public safety.
Here's the deal.. I was driving today and all of a sudden my phone just stopped working.. I saw a notification saying I should restore my phone or contact apple.. My phone still powers on, I still have my custom lock screen and all but I can only make emergency calls and access SBSettings which doesn't actually work anymore. So I tried to restore the the custom firmware and itunes keeps giving me the 1600 error .. I have heard iReb can fix this but I dont even know if its compatible with the 3GS for this issue.. I have tried but its kinda confusing and hasnt exactly worked..
