I have just switched on my new 5s and gone through the intro sections. After entering my apple id, I selected the icloud update I wanted it to use (from my 4s). It is now stuck on the progress bar screen and has been for hours. Can I get it back to the original settings? I want to set it up as a new phone, until I can get on to a better wi-fi signal. Any help would be great.
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?
If the old ID is an earlier version of your new ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your new iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your new password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will not work if your new ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address. -
Yosemite Upgrade - iMac mid-2011 - Stuck on white progress bar screen at about 50%
I have a mid 2011 iMac. I started the upgrade to Yosemite about 4 hours ago. For the last 3 and 1/2 hours it's been "stuck" at the white progress bar screen at about 50%. I hear the harddrive occasionally do reading/writing, but it isn't doing a lot just a tiny bit. I've seen others post across the net with similar situations, but no solutions. I'm willing to wait, but would love to know if it's actually proceeding or simply in some infinite loop.
Anyone know how to tell if it's in a loop or proceeding?
Anyone have any ideas on things to try?
I really don't want to try and interrupt the upgrade, but it doesn't appear it's going to complete.
Ideas?
Thanks for any help you all can provide.
PerryThis worked for my MBP 17" mid-2010 after 10 hours of minor panic watching progress bar stuck at 50%:
Reboot and hold SHIFT key to go into Safe Mode and keep holding that SHIFT key.
*Patience is the key to the Shift key*
Keep the Shift key down.
Do not let go of Shift key until you go to Italy when the computer does its Venetian blinds thing and goes into Safe Mode.
Check whether you have any login items. Do this via via Sys Preferences > Users & Groups
It is going to be slow. You are in SafeMode.
Remove any login apps.
Run any updates for Yosemite (e.g. Pages, Numbers, Keynote) within Safe Mode.
Reboot.
Remember, YMMV -

I have just restored to my new iphone5s and icloud has wrong email address
I bought new iphone5s and restored from old phone when signing in to icloud it has my old email and all other devices mac, ipad, ipod have the new address. I cannot change the email address it is grayed out. How can I get icloud to work? Message keeps coming up to sign in and no password is accepted.
Hello glpl
You should be able to either skip the step or go into your settings and sign out so you can sign into the new account. The article below will explain further.

Any clues as to how I can get this happening, and sync all my data that I can sync to my iPhone ? I don't seem to be getting all the faclilities I am suppopsed to ... most frustrating.
With Mavericks you won't get the Info tab, you use iCloud to sync contacts - from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117 :
If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

I would like to have my security questions reset I don't remember my answer for my favorite car. I just had a new computer set up because my xp was outdated
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My iphone screen clicks under no pressure at all this is the forth replacement phone now is there anything i can do now as this is getting annoying?
I understand that they terminated support for it for free accounts and that they have a cost involved and all of that. I know that devices that it is configured on can continue to use it, you will just not be able to set it up on new devices.
What my question was about it being up to Apple or Google was not in relation to Exchange, it was push email via IMAP similar to the way that iCloud mail and Yahoo mail works on iPhones. If you set up a Yahoo mail account on iOS via the Yahoo mail button and not Exchange, it still supports push mail via IMAP (just like iCloud mail). In order for Gmail accounts configured via IMAP on iOS to get push mail, is it Apple or Google that has to make a software change? IMAP works the same for Gmail as it does for Yahoo mail, so that's why I am confused.
I was also inquiring as to whether or not it is possible to pay for Google EAS services without registering a business domain with them.

I have just set up a new ID and password - I have received the email to my Email account and all verified.
But i am still unable to down load any apps on my iPhone or PC message reads " could not sign in"The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??
You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

I have just received a brand new IPOD Touch ,it will not turn on, i have connected it to my cmputer, it does not show that its charging and is not recognised in Itunes. I have tried the holding down the power and home buttons which also didnt work. Any Ideas Please ????
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
