Activating my phone with new update

I need serious help!
I have been trying to get onto my phone, but I can't! My phone just downloaded the new update, so I have been trying to set up my phone again. I got stuck on the step that says activate my phone where I enter in my apple ID and password. The apple id for my phone is a different one than the one that I use, and I have no idea how to activate my phone so that I can use it because I don't know the icloud or id that my phone is wanting me to log into....please help me...

Can't even answer the phone with new update to KitKat on my RAZR M. anyone have instructions?

With he new Android 4.4 Kitkat update I can't even figure out how to answer the phone when someone calls. I have to wait and call them back. Is there any kind of instructions out there that tells us how to use the new OS? thanks

In Kitkat you have to click and drag to the right when you see the "pulsing" dotted circle. Then a green (or red) dot will show up. Drag to the green dot and release.
I had the same problem the first two phone calls, until I figured it out. Would be nice if they had warned us beforehand.

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox. 
I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where 
websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that 
are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave 
their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating. 
So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the 
new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and 
I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see 
all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to 
use the <<TOOLS<<OPTIONS<<PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies. 
The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient 
and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked 
so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their 
site anymore.

(my question was not fully showing so I added this here)

HT1386 how do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show option?

How do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show the option?

For iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync you device>Setup syncing
Sync your device manually
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
Click Done.
If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.
The picture from the iTunes Help do not display.

Download the full version of the software then shift click the restore button. This will ask you where the firmware files are. Once you point to the firmware then you can install the official version

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

I updated my phone with the update for applewatch and now my phone is not working properly with hondalink. Can anyone help?

I just updated my phone this morning. It's the new update for the apple watch. I have a 2015 honda fit with honda link. I usually play my spotify through the ''ipod'' source because it shows all of the song information. Since the update it will not play through the i pod source even if it is plugged into the car. Can anyone tell me how to either make the song information show up when I play it through bluetooth or how to make it play through the i pod source again?

HT4623 I'm having trouble launching iTunes Store on my phone since new update.

I'm having trouble launching iTunes on iPhone 4 since new updates.

Hello Mdimbo1,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store after updating to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

IPhone Apps Moving with new update

I'm not sure if anyone else on the planet has this but let me breifly explain. Before updating to the new 5.0 update I was able to take all of the apps and move them one page to the right which allowed me to have a "wallpaper" of my beautiful sweetheart free of apps covering the entire picture. Life was good before I updated; simple and I felt in control of my phone. Now Apple has added language to the new update which apparently recognizes this "blank" page and for some reason this annoys the fine folks at Apple so they've made it so that the Apps slide back to the left. With seven pages already of Apps this is extremely disappointing (okay, I've even cussed it so maybe more than disappointing) to manually go in and move the Apps back to the right, starting from the last page and moving that page one to the right and then so on and so on until the first page is again blank. Problem is when I shut down or plug in my phone to the computer the powers that be decide to undo my handy work, and I'm not sure but I see quite a bit more "crashes" with my Apps moved one page over. Point is, I bought the phone, I bought most of the Apps (I admit, I have some freebies as well), I pay my bill so why is language being introduced that takes control of my phone and arranges it how Apple sees fit. Last time I checked I was able to make decisions for my self and the property "I" own. So my question would be that of anyone else having this problem and what solution (if any) they've found to solve this issue.

I can't say anything about my iPod but I'm almost certain I did this as well (iPod Touch, 32mb, not sure which operating system as I only use it in the car now days since I can also play all my songs from my phone). As for the previous version 4.0 I know I could move all to the right with the blank page and was able to turn off the phone and re-power it and the apps would stay where I had them arranged. I could also connect to the computer without it arranging them during a sync if I was careful not to mess with the settings on the applications portion inside the sync.
I know this is just trivial and I'm not sure anybody else I know of has done what I've done as far as moving all apps one page to the right or why this would seem to be such a big deal but as stated earlier I use that front page as a wallpaper with my sweethearts picture and with the infatuation I have with her it's pretty important to me.

TS1424 printing problem with new update

since the new update, I can no longer print the jewel case insert from the playlist; the right side title page is ok but the left side track listing is compressed and smudged together

I've already spent HOURS on the phone with several upper level support personel. The list of unhappy iTunes customers is growing from when willieshar & I got going on this. The last guy I spoke with did give me a "reasonable" way around my printing issue. Maybe it will help you.
In windows XP, Instead of sending to your printer, when you get to the "print" window, change the "NAME" in the scroll down to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer. Then print that. It's not as good but acceptable until a real fix can be found.

Cant play video with new update

Just updated my phone with I 0s 8 new version n now I can't play video on my phone play icon comes up but can't press it amd video doesn't play. How to sort this prob out.

Hi salman254,
If you are having issues with your iPhone being unable to play video with the Videos application, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
