Activate new Iphone with Wifi but need to log-in on Safari first - how do I do this?

I have just received my new iphone 4S and would like to activate it. I am trying to use the wifi network we have at work but on my old iphone, every day I would have to open safari which would then pick up The Cloud network and prompt me for a sign-in username and password – no problem. Unfortunately, when I try and select this network to activate my new phone, it doesn’t allow me to open safari first to sign onto the network and thus allowing the activation to continue. Is there any way around this??
Many thanks

Yes, that's the only options. If the wi-fi network requires that you authenticate using Safari, then it's not appropriate for activating your iPhone.
Use your computer & iTunes to activate your device.

Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur.

I want to restore imac to like new for wife but never got a restore or reinstall disk how can i do this

I want to reset my old imac to the facotry settings and start from scratch for the wife I have the new one and niether came with a recovery disk how can i do this....

Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Activate new iPhone with iCloud email as ID?

I've had an Apple ID for years but my wife is new to Apple (iOS or Mac). She'll get an iPhone soon. She doesn't have an Apple ID and doesn't have an iTunes account, either. Also, she doesn't have a personal email.
My goal is to get her on Apple email (which means she'll need a .icloud accout) and to use that address for her Apple ID.
Looks like Apple requires you to register an iOS device first before getting a .icloud account for Mail. So it looks like she has to use another email (like a temporary gmail or yahoo I'd create for her first), create her Apple ID, register her iPhone, then create a .icloud email address, and finally get Apple to change her Apple ID from gmail or yahoo to .icloud.
Is that correct?
Is there any way to register her account with a .icloud email address? Can I create an iTunes account and simultaneously create a .icloud email account?

It's done and I was able to set up my wife's iPhone and create and use an icloud.com email address in the process. I did not have to use, or create, a gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc. email to use as the Apple ID in order to set up the device.
During the set-up process, the Apple ID screen asked if I wanted to use an existing email or create a new icloud.com email. I chose the latter. Then I was detoured into a set-up screen for the new icloud.com user name and password. When that was completed, I continued with the iPhone set-up process. When if finished, my wife had an icloud.com Apple ID and Mail email address.
So Apple has made if possible; it's an option right on the set-up screen dealing with Apple IDs. You can't miss it when setting up a new iOS device.

I'm stuck at the set up as new iPhone or from back up screen after updating to iOS8. How can I fix this?

It's updated but I can't get rid of the set up as new phone or from a previous back up screen.

Are you using the same Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone for the very first time?

There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?

If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

What version of Windows are you using? This is not a problem with iTunes. It may have to do with an issue of the compatibility of a newer version of iTunes with an older Windows system/older hardware.
What do you want to synchronize? If you were previously using iCloud you should be able to restore most of your oringinal content onto your new phone via was was last synched with the iCloud on your previous phone/device.

HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes. Bad mistake!! I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
Can your have two phones one Itunes?? Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch?? If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.

iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.
