Here's a plug for LG android phones. My LG V10 screen froze up so I could not access any data. I purchased a cheap replacement phone, and was able to retrieve photos and contacts from the cloud. I then returned the frozen LG V10 to LG, which within 3 weeks returned a refurbished V10 (wiped clean

If it's not trusting you, the computer won't 'see' it. I've been tethering my iPhone several times daily, on my travels. It asked to trust it at first, but no longer does so. There may be a time component to this that I'm not aware of. (Trust lasts for awhile, for example, but then must be re-es

I plug it into my laptop all the time while working to charge it. It seems like it ask me to trust it every time. I would think that after you trust it once it would remember it. I tried plugging it in and it does not ever pop up so I am not sure if the plug is broken or if it is because I need

All our active computers are Time Machined, which means they get hourly incremental backups, to a RAID 0 server. Redundancy. The RAID is also cycled to offsite backup on a rough quarterly basis. The phones, however, must be tethered to join into that, so they're weakly backed up. -- Jim On Mo

Why would they make something so expensive and also so fragile? There are armored phones on the market. The only reason to keep making it so fragile is so they can sell more phones... What other thing do you buy that you then immediately have to buy another thing to protect the thing you bought

Android is less integrated which is what makes it better. iTunes sucks, each version sucks worse. Want to put music on an iPhone? You have no choice other than iTunes, which sucks...On Android I just copy music to the phone, or to an SD card which I can put into the phone. Same for pictures and

Apple store or your phone store should be able to pull everything off your old phone and swap it over if it is actually functioning. You could also probably get a new screen for it, there are shops around that fix them like that. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Apr 15, 2019, at 10:10 AM, Dan--- via

I think you're screwed. If you had _ever_ trusted that particular computer, it would remember that fact. If you _did_ trust it, even once, try just plugging it in and see if iTunes recognizes it. If so, you're golden. (Humph. As if Android is more well polished and integrated...) -- Jim __
