Cannot set up replacement iPhone with MobileMe

I have a paid MobileMe account (now extended to 6/30/12), and a few weeks ago, had my iPhone 3GS die on me. Got an iPhone 4, and got the 3GS replaced under warranty, and gave it to my wife.
Tried to set up "Find My iPhone" last night on the replacement 3GS, and now I get a message saying that it found my account, but I can't set up a free MobileMe account. (Went to settings/mail/add new account/ put in my MobileMe credentials, etc.)
I can't set up ANY mobileme syncing with this. The message comes back immediately, and I'm unable to set anything.
What's the problem? My old 3GS was still present under "Find My iPhone" yesterday, as well as my iPhone 4 and my iPad. I deleted the 3GS from the web based MobileMe, and the message said as soon as it came back on, would be available again.
Why can't I set this up with my PAID MobileMe account?

I'm not attempting to set up a new "account" as in service. I'm trying to associate the 3GS with an existing account. "add new account" is the mail account on the iPhone - NOT the service for said account (gmail, yahoo, exchange, etc).
I'm adding a "new" account to the iPhone.
"Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/ADD ACCOUNT". Won't let me associate it with the 3GS for existing MobileMe account. I go thru the same process for Gmail, which doesn't create a "new account" back at the provider, or a new userid/account.
I'm simply using the terminology on the screens.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
Please help!!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Syncing iPhone with MobileMe and iCal

I know that when I'm set up right the changes I make on one device (iPhone, iCal, MobileMe) sync to all other devices. Here is my question. iPhone calendar *****; so, at work I want to be able to create calendar events on my personal Mac and sync through iTunes (Mac will not be connected to internet and I can't access MobileMe from work computer). I need to be able to create recurring events that are custom (beyond the bare-basic the iPone calendar offers).
Can I use the option to sync with iCal through iTunes while Mac is not connected to the internet and still use MobileMe? I have tried this but keep getting duplicate calendar and contacts entries.
Do I have to use one or the other?

Doing both does nothing but duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone. When doing both, each is synced and stored separately and differently on the iPhone. The calendars and calendar events synced direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process are stored separately and not synced over the air with your iPhone and vice-versa.

If you purchased the extended care plan, AppleCare+, then they'll replace it for essentially any reason by turning in your damaged phone and $79. Otherwise, no.

I cannot set up my iphone

I'm trying to set up my Iphone to just work, but every time i try to do it I get this messege...Your Iphone coould not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. please help...

Probably because it was hacked or jailbroken. If that's the case, you can't get help here.
Where EXACTLY did you get the phone?

Syncing 2 iphones with Mobileme account and family pack account

I can't seem to get this answered.. I have a .mac (mobileme) account and I just upgraded the account to the family plan which give me 4 additional accounts. I am trying to sync the second email account up with my ical and contacts and I can't figure out how to accomplish this. The ical and contacts are under my email and not the family pack email. I would like to know how you share ical and contacts with multiple iphones..........

Probably, but that would result in much logging in and out as we both access the home computer many times in one day. Also, I find that Windows XP slows down a bit with multiple accounts. (Still haven't upgraded to Mac yet... It's coming!) I'll give it a shot when I get home and see if it works. Thank you.
Does anyone else have any experience with this setup?

So if you set up a VPN and change you IP to come out of California for example then you get that countries permissions to those apps. Don't get it twisted I'm not doing anything illegal.
While technically not illegal, it is still in violation of the terms of use for the service you wish to use. Using VPN from a legal standpoint is irrelevant. And beside the point. AppleTV doesn't support VPN.

ORA-00830: cannot set statistics_level to BASIC with auto-tune SGA enabled

Hi Experts
I get this error message when I try to set statictics_level parameter to basic.
Solution says to disable auto-tuning SGA. Fine, but how can I disable it? I cannot fine any system parameter similar to it.
thanks
Attila

It means you need to remove SGA* parameters from your pfile and start tuning the instance manually with SHARED_POOL_SIZE and DB_CACHE_SIZE and other parameters.

I cannot activate my replacement iphone 5 ?

It says to choose Language - I choose British English
Then my location - I choose United Kingdom
Then mobile or wifi - I have tried both
Then tells me it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone
Then it tells your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached, Try connecting your iPhone to itunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
If the problem persits, contact Apple Support at apple.com/uk/support

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

Replaced iphone with new one now lost app data

I had to get my iphone 4 replaced by apple because it locked up after the latest iOS upgraded to 4.2.9 They could not even get it to work on there computers when restoring it. So given a new iphone. Told me to synch it as new i phone which I did. Now all my game apps have me starting from beginning. I see that it still has my old phone listed in my itunes. Could i restore to that and get the data back. Will i lose any new apps I downloaded since then? I dont want to restore it from old restore if it was corrupt and caused the problem. Looking for my angry bird levels and cut the rope levels. Any ideas.

Restore from the most recent backup of your old phone to get your data back.
If you find that your data was corrupt, you can always go back to restoring as a new phone. You'll never know until you try.
