When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the Setup Assistant will walk you through entering account information or turning on certain features. If you skip setup, you can always go back and enter details or make changes by following the steps outlined in these articles:
Connecting to the Internet
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID
Setting up iCloud
Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPhone
Activating iPhone with your carrier
During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPhone by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes

I have an Apple ID and trying to sign in for the 1st time on iTunes. When I do, I get the message: "This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I do, I get stuck in the same loop and can't sign in!

I have an Apple ID and trying to sign in for the 1st time on iTunes. When I do, I get the message: "This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I do, it brings me to the same AppleID login window, and I get stuck in the same loop. I never get to the following screen to enter my account info. What's going on?? This is MADDENING!

If you want to use it, click Review and check your account information. Or you could contact the store support staff if you are concerned at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html for further help.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Hi everybody!
I have 3G iphone since 3,5 years now, what happened yesterday for the 1st time since ever - is that the phone has switched off itself even when was charged n since then it refuses to reboot ! Indeed, application says - Enjoy your jailbroken phone ! What would that mean ? Any chanses to get that phone On ? (or does it mean the phone gone old n i should get a new version of iphone ?)
Thanks in advance !

That means your phone is jailbroken and you can not get help here.

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Deploying iTunes and plugging an iPhone for the 1st time

Hello everybody,
I'm going tu upgrade iTunes to 9.2.1 on a feew weeks for the entire park.
I enabled the parental control to doesn not allow the acces to the Apple store.
I put the ipsw file on a network share.
So when iTunes will be deployed I will send a mail with the procedure, how to upgrate the iOS.
Here is the problem :
There are a lot of people who haven't synced their iPhone with iTunes.
So when they will plug for the first time their iPhone to the computer, iTunes will ask to register. So they will have to click on "Ask later". After that, an erreor occurs "problem to acces to iTunes Store" : that's noral because there is no access to the iTUnes store.
When we click on OK, at this time, finaly, we are on the main screen, and start the upgrate.
So there is the question :
Is there a way to skip all the introduce screen when an iPhone is plugged for the 1st time to a computer, and have the main screen directly?
Thank you very much.
Florian

Connecting an iphone 4 to computer for the 1st time

I have not connected my iPhone 4 to my computer. I am thinking about getting a new phone, so i want to backup the data (mainly photos). If I plug it in, will it delete the data stored on it?

Hello, helplessandconfused.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When syncing your device for the first time, iTunes will prompt you to either setup as a new device. Make sure to select the option to setup as new otherwise your data will be overridden. You will also need to transfer purchases as outlined in the second article below. To import your photos to your computer, see the last article. I would recommend following the steps for importing photos first.

Can someone explain what the new feature "Webform Security" is for?

I notice there is a new field called "Webform Security" which inserts { module_ccsecurity ] into the form code but I have no idea what this is for and there is no reference to this module in the knowledgebase.
Can anyone offer some details?

Log into your bank, stay logged in and open a new tab. Then visit another site on the internet.
Now lets pretend that on this other site, someone (like the site administrator or a commentor) included a link that pointed to a url such as http://www.YourBank.com/TransferMoney?FromAccount=12345&ToAccount=54321&Amount=1000 and then you clicked the link, the bank would think you were making a legitimate transfer request becuase you were still logged in.
Fair enough, but you probably wouldn't click that link because you're smarter than that. Unfortunately your browser isn't so smart, and it doesn't have to be a link. They could have included an image tag, or css style sheet or javascript file that pointed to that url and your browser would have automatically "clicked" the link on your behalf when it tried to download the resource.
Thats CSRF in a nutshell.
There are ways to mitigate this danger, but its up to site owner (the bank in this example) to make sure this can't happen. As an end user it's mostly out of your hands. This tag appears to be BC's way to mitigate this, and it appears to be similar to other soultions to this problem.
I don't know if it works though, it's not docummented, so your guess is as good as mine. Either way its probably a good idea to include it on your forms.

HT1386 if facebook, google and governments know where we are - why do we have to type in the serial number for the equipment we have bought from apple using our apple ID to the actual address to which the apple ID is connected .....for the nth time?

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU CHARGE YOUR iPHONE FOR THE 1ST TIME OUT OF THE BOX?

As the title says.
And how soon does the battery start to finish when watching YouTube after a FULL CHARGE?
I can watch abt 3 or 4 videos (between 2 to 10 mins long each) + searching youtube for a minute or two before I notice the FULL BATTERY starts to drain :S
So in total lets say after 15 minutes my battery starts to go down.
Is that normal? or is something wrong with my battery?

I provide you a link yesterday with this and other information about the battery which answers this question so here it is again.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
+Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. *You can also recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance.*+
Charging an iPhone battery for 15 hours doesn't accomplish anything. After the battery reaches 80%, it reverts to a trickle charge for the remaining and when at 100%, charging stops. Charging can't go past 100%.

IPhone 4: connecting to TV for the 1st time with new "Composite AV Cable" only plays sound, not video on TV. However, this new cable works fine with old iPod to play videos on TV. Suggestions?

I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my TV to play videos via use of a new "Composite AV Cable" but only sound will play off TV, not video. I've tried every yellow/red/white input on the TV but to no avail. Any suggestions?

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
This is not where you should store that stuff.
Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.
