Bought used Iphone and can't download apps or sign in to iTunes

I bought my first iPhone from a friend over the weekend. Its an iPhone 4. Whenever I try and download and app I get a weird gmail account and it wants a password. I text my friend about it and she said to plug it into the computer and sync it with my iTunes account and it will wipe it clean. I did that and I am having the same problem. I can't even log into iTunes with my phone using my account. I went and got it acctivated with my carrier and have no problems anyplace else. Just trying to use apps and iTunes. How do I get rid of the gmail account on my phone?

I called and just got off the phone with Apple. They say iTunes is currently down and to try again in an hour or so...

    Set up the account using a desktop or laptop, then sign
    into that account on your iPhone.
    I am not aware of any method around the restriction once
    the maximum has been created on any individual iPhne.

    Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.
    If you rented the movie on your iPhone, it can only be viewed on your iPhone.

    If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

  • How can I delete an old username? I was using my daughter's iTouch and now I have an iPhone and wish to download apps using my I'd. Thank you.

    I took over my daughter's iTouch and had downloaded some as using her ID. I now have an iPhone and even though I created my own ID, her. iD appears anytime I want to download an app. How can I delete her information?

    Sign into your own account.
    This is covered in the settings section of the manual:

  • HT4463 I got a new mac and can't download apps I previously purchased

    I bought a couple lessons in GarageBand and some apps in the AppStore, but now that I have a new MacBook, I am unable to get these apps on the new machine apparently without buying the apps again(!)
    This is frustrating. I know the old machine was wiped clean and I'm not interested in paying another several hundred dollars for software I already bought.
    Any ideas?

    Hi chivas3,
    Access your Purchased Apps as follows:
    1. Click on the iTunes Store, then click on the Apps tab at the top
    2. Now click on "Purchased" under the Quick Links menu on the right
    3. This will then go to a screen that displays your purchased Apps (you can then click on All or Not on This Computer at the top)
    4. You will see a cloud below each App that can be downloaded. You can download them selectively, or by clicking on Download All at the bottom of the screen
    Cheers,

  • I am in Jordan and can't download app for Furby boom, I am in Jordan and can't download app for Furby boom

    Please help me to download an app for Furby boom. It's so frustrating...bought this toy for my daughter and now can't download this stupid app. By the way, I am in Jordan if this makes any difference for downloading.

    If the app isn't available in the Jordan store then you won't be able to download it. You can try requesting that it be added, but unless the app's developer grants Apple a license to sell it there then Apple won't be able to do so : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Can't sign into Adobe cloud desktop app and can't download apps to install.

    I was able to download the Adobe Cloud app to my desktop, but it won't let me sign in, every time I try it tells me I've been signed out. I have uninstalled and re-installed it over and over again. I believe this leads to the other problem I am having whic is that I can't download  any of the apps when I click on an app to download it nothing happens, at the very bottom left of the browser window I see the following:-
    "waiting for sproxy-prod.adobecc.com"
    What should I do?

    I did it, everything seemed to go well, everything happened as it should I saw the "
    multiple lines which start with "Successfully copied the file" followed by:
    Operation has been successfully completed." but I still am not able to log in through the Creative Cloud desktop app or download any apps to install.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Using iPhone 4 can I download a game and save on iCloud?

    Is there anyway i could buy a game from the app store and save it on iCloud using iPhone

    All apps and media on the device should also exist in the iTunes library on the computer that it normally syncs with.
    If used as designed and at some point the user decides they do not want the game on the device, simply deselect it from syncing in iTunes.  This will not delete or remove any game history, it simply removes the game from the device.
    In the future, if the user changes their mind and wants the game back on the device, simply select it to sync in iTunes and all game history/stats will return with the game.

  • HT1689 Lost the balance/credit in my iTunes account when I bought an iPhone and had to reload apps and change my password. Can this be recovered ?

    Lost the balance of credit in my itunes account when I had to change my password. Can this be recovered? How?

    Yeah, you fried the phone big time.
    Go into iMessage settings and set the Caller ID to your phone number.

  • I recently bought an iphone and can't get passed the apple i.d, I have no idea who the previous owner is I just want my phone to work please help.

    I don't know who the previous owner is or how to contact them because I can't see their email address. I spent $200 and just want my phone to work. Is there any way apple can help?

    Your phone is "activation locked". It cannot be used unless this lock is removed by the previous owner of the iPhone. If the seller can't help you then ask for a refund of your money.
    Apple won't help you. Note that the iPhone you bought may well be stolen property..

  • If i use 3g internet can i download app from app store with out wifi Internet ?

    -

    If the app is less than 20 meg then yes you should be able to - there is a 20 meg download limit per file of 3G which can't be changed/overridden. For any content (apps, films, tv shows, podcasts etc) over 20 meg you will need to find a wifi network for your iPad in order to download them directly on the iPad, or download them on your computer and then sync them across to the iPad
