I can't think that the time spent working on this is worth the cost of the device. You clearly weren't missing it before, call it a loss, recycle it, buy a new one when you need a new one.

Back it up on a computer and use a backup manager to extract the info and put it in another backup.

Always nice to have some extra devices on hand when the need arises with his long it can take to get one. noirstronaut posted:Back it up on a computer and use a backup manager to extract the info and put it in another backup. It appears to be wiped, someone may have done that before my efforts to attempt to get it ready. It's when I get through the new set up process that I hit the activation lock. Not sure if a backup would have that data, if I could even do so. Think it's a loss, which is a bummer. Thanks for the feedback.

If you can pull a receipt that shows the serial number I thought Apple can remove activation lock with a Genius Bar appointment (but they'd only do that with actual concrete proof of purchase). Otherwise it's a writeoff, and this is a good opportunity to at least audit your other company owned devices for this sort of issue. Better yet, get an MDM.

Or save yourself the trip and call in, no need to actually bring the phone anywhere. If you have corporate purchase documentation just ring up AppleCare and they should be able to do it remotely.

Question Mark Mound posted:For some reason a single one of my albums has each track listed twice, so if I want to listen through the album I need to skip every other song since each track will get played twice. I had that problem because on my 16GB iPhone I made smaller MP3 versions of all the songs I had, and it saw that I had versions of them available in the iTunes store. It saved me about a gigabyte, which was really precious when you only have 12 to play with. I would switch to "Show only offline music" or whatever, but the Music app would arbitrarily say "Hey, forget that setting, show it anyways!  " The workaround was force-closing the music app, that would usually make the "clouded" songs disappear, but I had to do that a couple of times a week. On my spacious 64GB 6S+, I just have the larger 192kbps or whatever versions but once I'm over 128kbps or maybe 160kbps I really can't tell the difference. Phil Collins still sounds like Phil Collins.

So my wife and I each have an iPhone (Softbank Japan is the provider). Whenever someone texts us or calls us it shows up on both of the drat iPhones. Separate numbers of course. I don't necessarily want her reading all of my texts. Wtf?

You can have separate iCloud accounts while still using the same Apple Account for store/purchases if you don't want to set up family sharing.

My wife wants to try Android for a spin on a spare device I have. I recall two years ago when I switched there was a big issue with iMessage hijacking your device number somehow and causing problems once you put your sim in the new device. Has this issue been worked out? Are there any steps I can take to minimize disruption and have a seamless transition between the two OSs (and likely back again)? Thanks in advance.

You can also deregister iMessage after the fact. Not necessarily useful in your case, but can be useful if someone moves their SIM from an iPhone to a Sarnsung without realising their mistake. https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage Scroll down to "No longer have your iPhone?"

OK, I think the battery life on the 6S+ is better than I first thought it was. Also, I looked at my older 5S today, after using the Plus, it feels comically small/undersized.

My only complaint is putting it in my pockets when I'm not wearing my scrubs or something else that has hilariously over sized pockets like JNCOs. For those of you who think the phone is too big to hold one handed properly, there are some accessories to make one handed holding more bearable. Something with a low profile like this.

This isn't a big enough deal for us to move back to using the same apple ID, but it still irks me.

Ergo, what you should do is download the app onto her device using either your account or family sharing, log into your account and restore the IAP, then log her back into her account. The IAP will stay unlocked.

Step 1: log out your wife (5-s) Step 2: sign in, download app, restore iap (1-min) Step 3: sign out, log your wife back in (10-s) You can even download and restore iap for multiple apps during step 2 to save even more time. Did you get dropped on your head or something?
