No Push on iPhone 4 (IOS 5.0.1)

Hi,

I have an iPhone 4 and an iCloud account, and the Push feature doesn't work.

Description

I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and Push feature doesn't work, here are two examples:

- when I receive an e-mail on my iCloud account, the push feature works with my iPad and my MacBook Pro but not with my iPhone. With the iPhone, the only way to me "notified" of a new e-mail is to open mail and wait for synchronisation...

- when I set to on the "Find my iPhone" feature, the iPhone appears in the "iCloud > Find my Mac" feature, but it is never localized.

Test

After reading internet forums, I have tried to restore my iPhone as a "new iPhone" and I was really surprised to discover that the Push feature worked pretty well. Congratulations !!! 😁 ... But, after a few minutes I discovered the "new iPhone settings" second effect : no more sms/message history, no more app organization 😢 ... For the settings, I can spend a while to put everything in order, but I'm not really ready to loose all my sms.

Issue

I'm not speciallised on iPhone, but IT is my job and I guess that I have a kind of "ID" issue and my iPhone is not clearly recorded to Apple servers. Can I pick the "ID" of the new backup to "copy" it in the old one ?

In any case, I would like to not have to choose between "sms/message history" and "push feature".

Thanks for your help and merry Christmas. 🙂

Jerome

If you want to get your messages back (providing you performed a back up before restoring) plug your iPhone into your computer, in iTunes under Devices right click on your iPhone and select Restore from Back up.....this will put everything back on your iPhone including your messages

Hi,

If I understand well, I have to :

- restore my iPhone as a new iPhone and so fix the Push feature

- after that, go to iTunes to restore iPhone Backup with the current backup (without push feature)

I'm not definitively sure, but I think I try that last week and that the iPhone Backup has restored everything, even the issue with the push feature...

Have I well understood ? Are you sure ?

Thanks a lot,

Jerome
