So you're trying to set up your wife's phone as a new device? Just go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings, and you'll get a new device

When I plug phone into computer, Itunes wants me to restore (3GS OS4update)
Since I updated to os4 my iphone has been terrible, It is slow, I keep getting the "Crash Tool" error when syncing and most troubling is not every time but frequently when I plug it in Itunes tells me I have to restore from backup or as a new phone. What is this?

how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?
You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.

I have an iPhone and iPad on the same account. I gave my iPad to my daughter. Can I set up a new account for my iPhone only so I can back up photos, etc, in privacy?
If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?
Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone. -
Hello, I restored my Iphone, and I made sure that all of my stuff was backed up into the Cloud. but now when i plug it into Itunes its like a brand iPhone PLZ help! Its an Iphone 4. I look ed on the account info and everything is right plz help!
Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

How do I set up an email account for my wife in icloud?
iCoud email accounts are tied to iCloud accounts. If she has her own iOS device go to to Settings>iCloud and set up an iCloud account. This will generate an corresponding iCloud email address.

How do I set up a seperate account for my wife?
We finally purchased a nice new iPhone for my wife. But she would like her own iTunes account. How do I set up a seperate account for her? She has her own laptop, with an iTunes account on it that I was using. Should I just un-install that iTunes package and have her download a new version? I'd rather have two versions so I don't lose the music on that old iTunes account. It's not huge, but would be a PITA.
Apple ID
Go to iTunes > Store > Sign Out (your apple id) and sign your wife apple id in. -
I have a new laptop and I want to set up a new account. Can I do this when I already have an account set up on my old laptop? what will have to the old account if I set up a new one? how do i set up a new account?
What exactly do you mean by account? you wan to set a user on your laptop?
Do you wan to get a new apple Id on the new laptop? Why?
Are these laptops Macs?
What exactly are you trying to do?
And what does this have to to with Appleworks, which is a long since discontinued Office suit. -
My ipod nano 4th generation was set up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately it was plugged into a pc and all my files, (song, pics, etc) were erased. When I plugged my ipod into my mac to sync it again, it wouldn't even appear in the source list. I can't even click on it to restore it. It's simply not there. Any ideas on how I can get it to appear in my source list and sync it again using my mac? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

My daughter is listed as "administrator" on her computer and I don't want her to be...I have created another account for her but how do I remove the "administrator" priviledges?
There has to be at least one administrator. Change the password of the old account. While logged in as that user, open the Accounts preference pane in System Preferences, authenticate, select the new account, and uncheck the box labeled "Allow user to administer this computer."

How do I hide the app names on the Dock?
I want to turn off the app names that display on the Dock. If it doesn't exist, I think it should be done. We (most people, I guess) already know most of the apps on their Dock. So hiding it will help making the interface more sleek.
