Connect iPhone and Setup as new iPhone appears when it's not new
I connect my iPhone 4, and get the iTunes 2 options, Setup as new iPhone, and Restore. I don't want to reset my iPhone. It has pictures. I tried Setup as new iPhone, and then it's starting synching to my husband's iPhone. I'm not sure what is happening, so I ejected and stopped the sync process.
I've checked the wire, but that's a good point, I'll see if I can find another cable to test this out. I'm not sure what you mean by the external power symbol, the symbol I'm seeing is the plug in the battery, the same symbol I see when my phone is fully charged and plugged in to my computer or a charger.
I also made sure my computer wasn't asleep, same issue.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

ITunes on my iMac seems to think my iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not.
iTunes on my iMac seems to think my wife's iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not. This has been going on for a couple of years now and I am finally trying to stop it. I launch iTunes manually to sync any number of devices we have in the household and, at least every third time I launch iTunes, it pops up my wife's iPhone and start spinning around as if it is connected and syncing but it is not. This happened to me today when my wife and her iPhone were not even in the house or even the same city for that matter! Oddly, she recently (finally) upgraded from an iPhone 3 to a 5 assuming that would finally stop it but it just kept on happening. Anyone have any idea how to stop this? Thanks!
- MattYou might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease? -

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect on the phantom playlist that shows up on the PC when I plug in the iPhone to the PC. I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
Help greatly appreciated.Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one (when I have no password and the security questions aren't working?)
You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working. -

You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?
Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

I got a new iphone and entered all my new information, but when i plugged my new phone into the computer with all my old information, it synced that information onto my new phone. is there any way to reverse it?
While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?
Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
