I got a new iPhone (both old and new running iOS 15). I can't get contacts and apps transferred across.
I tried things from Apple support:
back up old iPhone
merge contacts on new one
I couldn't get that to work.
I tried the "quickstart" app which is supposed to come back after it disappears when you restart both phones and that didn't work.
I have the iCloud password logged in on both phones (although it seems to require logging in regularly too) and both have the same (good) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth running.
What am I missing?
I wound up having to contact Apple support via a chat, where I had to:
Erase the new iPhone down to the nubs (just leaving the 'carrier data' part alone
Change the Apple password again after I had just changed it hours ago
Back up the old iPhone to icloud, even though it had just been backed up hours ago.
wait for an update to IOS 16 to finish
restart the process of restoring from the old iPhone's backup
finally this worked ... Apple passwords are the most annoying; they apparently expire frequently but don't warn you about that, just stop working and you have to do the I forgot my password thing ... overall Android is easier for this function!

I got a request, where I need to write to code for a Someone. But they want me to write on their machines instead Remotely.
Does any one know any software by which i can access someone else screen remotely?
Yes i can use VNC or Microsoft Remote Desktop but then the Question is then, How will i run that code from Xcode on my end into the Real device for testing.
Two immediate solutions:
you can generate adhoc build and install on any device with the developer approved provisioning profile.
generate ipa and install on a JB device.
There's also the Screen Sharing feature - although this is essentially a nicely integrated VNC client with some smarts.
This kind of working arrangement does not sound like a terribly productive one - many features of XCode rely on quick user interaction - for instance code completion. On a laggy remote connection these will become highly irritating or entirely unusable.
As you suggest, there is no way to remotely debug on a device. You can however create an AdHoc build which can then be installed on your own device via the web or through iTunes.
The Apple Developer programme puts a few barriers in the way of a contract development relationship - particularly with respect to code-signing - which you'll need to run on a real device as well as app-store submission. The only two solutions are either a corporate ADC account (you are added as an 'employee' user) or having your own individual account which is used for development.

I have an app that allow people to store any type of file and transfer files between computer and iphone through wifi. After few days of review Apple reject my app because
22.4: Apps that enable illegal file sharing will be rejected
I was wondering that how come I can still find a lot of app that do the same way as my app do and got passed?
Apple allow developer to turn on iTunes file sharing, isn't this the same concept as transfer file through wifi? the different is wireless.
I am not able to control user to not transfer illegal file.
Is there any way to get pass this issue?
You can appeal the decision. Or perhaps there would be a way to appease Apple, maybe by warning users against distributing copyright material before opening the connection?
Bottom line is, the only way to know for sure is to ask Apple. For better or worse, they are the gatekeepers; we can only speculate.
No, Apple is a dictatorship. But Google isn't better at all. The app will get online but gets removed after a competitor sent an DMCA notice (without a valid reason, just wild accusations). Ask the mupen64plus-ae developer

I'm trying to figure out if I can update my iPhone to iOS 5 now rather than wait all the way till fall, is there a way to do this?
Your iPhone must be linked to a Apple Developer account in order to update to iOS 5. Find someone who has an account and ask them or pay $99 for a developer account and an early upgrade.
To answer your question directly, you can't: you need iTunes 10.5, a mac only application for now.
iOS betas are released for developers to test their applications, not end user to test Apple's. Unlike many other betas, a bug reporter exists but isn't the main purpose of this.
Also, developers are clearly asked not to install the betas on their main devices (their personal iPhone for example). Not only could doing so result in a very buggy day to day experience, but Apple sometimes releases versions a few days after the previous version expired, literally blocking the device in the meantime (the Purple Screen of Death).
Sorry to announce you just lost a hundred bucks, unless you buy a mac and start programming (this is a nice opportunity isn't it?).
IOS 5 is still in beta and available only to Apple Developer program subscribers.

i was wondering if i can get a iphone developer certificate for free?
I just want to learn objective-c and iphone development.
// No, the xCode iPhone Simulator don't have an accelerometer etc.
g.
As far as I know, no. It's not possible to get into the dev program without coughing up the dough :)
The dev kit (with the simulator) is good enough for most uses though, and you can certainly learn to develop on the iphone though that. As you mentioned, you don't get access to certain features, but such is life.
As everyone has already said you can't get a free certificate. If however your at university it might be worth asking around the various departments to see if they have signed up for a university licence, this is how I've got my development certificate.
The free developers kit that provides the simulator will let you learn how to do 90% of iPhone coding without having to use an iPhone. If you're new to iPhone development and don't know for certain you will be releasing apps for it, I think the getting an actual developer's license is a waste of money.
Instead, get the free stuff and use it to learn the ropes and then only get the license if and when you decide you what to learn the last 10% and/or release an app.
By jailbreaking your phone, you will not be able to always update your phone to the latest version, and therefore as a developer will face the problem when you sync your phone to your computer to test your code, that you will not be doing it with the latest version and Apple do not look kindly to people who release software that is older than the latest version available
You should check out Apple's developer website. They have objective-c and iPhone development tutorials there.

When should I give out my iPhone UDID? A company is developing an application for my company for the iphone wants my UDID. Are there any risks to me as an individual giving this out? Many thanks
You should give out your device ID whenever you want an application that is not in the store (or a version not in the store) to run on your iPhone. The developer needs to add that device ID to a list of devices that can run the test version he builds.
(And it's a distracting process for him, so best answer right away before he gets involved in something else.)
The worst thing that can be said about the device ID is that it absolutely identifies your device. No other iPhone will ever have that device ID.
There are not really any privacy risks in giving out a phone ID, and as noted you need to give it out to be able to run test builds on your phone.
I would say though, that if you want to hire someone to develop an app for you you should certainly trust them enough to give them what they ask for, since you are going to be running an application on your phone from them that has not gone through any approval process (though the sandbox helps a lot there as there's not much harm they can do).
