Having Sync Issues with new Apple ID

I was on an apple account with my wife. We're splitting up so I made myself a new Apple ID, installed iTunes on my home computer and logged into it with my new ID and that looks good.
My phone is full of stuff from her account. When I first plugged it into my iTunes it warned me about erasing the phone. I was scared to do so at that point, so I clicked not to do it.
Now I would like to do it, but when I plug in my phone and sync it simply syncs the contacts and nothing happens with the Apps. I can't get it to prompt me to erase the phone again.
In my attempts to fix this I went into iTunes and downloaded a new app. I also went into my phone and changed the iTunes account to my new one.
Now when I try to sync it says this computer is not authorized and I should go to Store -> Authorize. I do that, log in with my Apple ID and it says this computer is already authorized. I then try to sync and it tells me to authorize again. I just bounce back and forth between the two and never get anywhere.
What I want is to have everything use my new account. I don't want any associations to the original account. I want iTunes to erase my phone and start using the iTunes library I have on my home computer, where I will redownload all the apps I want to have on the phone. How can I accomplish this?

Go to settings > iMessage > receive at. And you will see the Apple ID you are using for iMessage. Tap on the ID and you will be prompted to sign out. Tap sign out and toggle iMessage Off. The do the same for FaceTime, meaning go to settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then toggle FaceTime off.
To toggle both iMessage and FaceTime back on and sign in with your new Apple ID. It may take a few minutes for the ID to be verified by the Apple servers but once it is verified, you are good to go.

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing. Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures. I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

Playlist Sync Issues with new iPod Touch 8G

Hi Guys - This my first post. Just got an iPod Touch 8G for Christmas, and I'm
having some issues with Syncíng it and would appreciate some guidance.
I previously used a Sony PSP as my portable music player, and so my music
is organised into folders, with a .m3u playlist for each folder.
To get the music and the playlist onto the iPod, I tried to use the followqing procedure:
1. Downloaded and installed iTunes
2. Registered my iPod and signed up for the iTunes Store
3. Added one of my folders to the iTunes Library
4. Synchronised with my iPod (I selected Manually manage music and videos)
Checked that all the songs were downloaded successfully to the iPod, and
play on the iPOD.
5. Imported the .m3u playlist into iTunes(File->Library->Import Playlist).
Checked it had all items and could play the tracks from the library.
For some reason, the tracks from the folder now appear twice in the
Library after this step.
6. Attempted to sync the playlist to the iPOD. The playlist has 249 tracks,
but for some reason the sync operation fails with error message "Attempting
to copy to the disk 'Joseph Olajubu's iPod' failed. The disk could not be
written to or read from".
The playlist is partially copied, with between 49 and 208 entries (depending on the sync attempt). Playing the songs from the ipod or creating the playlist directly on the iPOD works. Any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried this operation on 2 different computers with similar results. The iPOD has around 4.5G memroy free. Alternatively, is there software like Anapod available for the iPod Touch if this is an iTunes bug?
Thanks in advance for your help

Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

Hi All,
My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system
Thanks!

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

New Calendar Sync Issue with new iPad2

My calendar has synched flawlessly with my google calendar and Mac previously, but since adding a new iPad2 to the mix, I am having some issues.
I noted today that when I made a change on the MBP, the iPad calendar was not updated during a sync. So I checked the settings and "sync calendars" was not checked. Odd since it always synched in the past.
So I selected sync calendars and got the message that over 2000 entries would be added or modified on the MBP. I have also chosen to not sync events more than 30 days old but some of these items go back to 2006.
An example.
Event happening in April of 2008 shows no original date (whatever that means) so the modification is to add an original date of 12/31/00.
I have no clue what this is about or why the iPad sync is not working correctly.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

try removing proxy settings on gprs connection and try again. Sounds like a proxy problem.

Sync issues with new iphone

Hi, I've recently upgraded to an Iphone 5S. I've gone thru all the motions of set-up and synced it to my current Itunes library. All went ok. I tried to update the phone today and the device is no longer recognised in ITunes and a message prompt appears on the phone saying 'Trusted Computer'. I have had an update on the device recently for IOS 7.0.4, i'm not sure if this has affected my settings. Is there a way of sorting this out?, i've tried doing a full reset of the device and had no luck i still get the 'Trusted Computer' prompt

Issue with new Apple TV 2?

I've been reading the forums and definitely realize that i'm not the only one having issues with the new Apple TV 2. However, my problem seems different from the rest, so i'm not sure where to start. First, let me say that the ATV2 is connected to my Wi-Fi fine. I can listen to internet radio, play movie trailers, etc.. I've enabled home sharing both on my C2D iMac and on the ATV2. The ATV2 can see the library, but when I try to open it, it goes to "Loading __'s Library" for about 30 seconds, then returns to the main menu. I've tried everything, from disabling the apple firewall, to disabling my router (Belkin N1 Vision) firewall, all to no avail. I've got iTunes 10.1 and OS X 10.6.5. I've reset the iMac and the ATV multiple times. Also, I CAN play music via AirShare, but thats about it. Nothing to do with my library works at all. I'm completely stumped and hoped maybe someone on here had a similar issue and fixed it before I tried calling apple. ANY help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Alley_Cat: Thanks for the response, unfortunately, I get the same results. I've also tried connecting to the iMac via Remote on my iPhone, only to get a "Connection Unsuccessful" error. So i've narrowed the problem down to something with the iMac (Most Likely). But i'm stumped on what to do here. Do you think removing iTunes/Quicktime and reinstalling them both would have any affect? Thanks!

Mail sync issue with new iPod Touch

I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.
All is being successfully sync'd with the exception of mail. The error box when I click on mail with the iTouch reads - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server mail.me.com failed"
I have an active .Mac account. I can successfully log into "mobileme" via my G5 1.8 dual running OS X 10.5.8. My cable web provider is Comcast in the Middle TN area.
Thanks in advance with any suggestions.
Djay

I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.

Anyone having Audio Issues with new Mac Mini, new Thunderbolt Display and new Pegasus R4?

I can't listen to the built-in speakers on my brand new Apple thunderbolt monitor to the terrible audio quality. I'm running Mac Lion on a new Mac Mini with a brand new Promise Pegasus R4 - all purchased in January 2012. The entire setup is connected via Thunderbust errh, I mean Thunderbolt.

Hi,
I'm also having an audio problem, which I suspect now is caused by my Thunderbolt display.
See https://discussions.apple.com/message/21499606#21499606 for the small thread.

Kelly speca is having battery issues with new iPhone 6 plus.

Hi this is Kelly Speca,
I have a serious issue with my iPhone 6 plus. While watching movies or rather playing some basic games,the battery drains out very fast. It is a s fast as that I have to charge the phone almost 2 times a day...Also the phone touch screen becomes unbarely hot.So can anyone help me with some suggestions..
Thanks,
Kelly Speca.

It may be worth your while to engage with Apple in a chat online or go to an Apple store. It seems as if you have some hardware issues that need to be sorted out
But here is a test I would do to check the battery drain:
1. Do this at night before going to bed
2. use app switcher and close all apps
3. Go into settings - cellular and turn cellular data off
4. Put phone in airplane mode
5. Charge phone to 100%
6. Then un hook it from the charger and let it sit overnight and see what the battery percentage is, in the morning
This will tell you if the battery itself is not performing up to par......

Issues with new Apple ID

I recently changed my Apple ID and now I cannot sign into iMessage or FaceTime because it keeps prompting me for the password for my old Apple ID. I tried to reactivate my old Apple ID to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime but I deactivated that email account and cannot use it. Any suggestion on what to do? The same thing happened with iCloud but I deleted the old account on my phone and added a new iCloud account with my new Apple ID. It doesn't seem to work that way for iMessage and FaceTime.

Go to settings > iMessage > receive at. And you will see the Apple ID you are using for iMessage. Tap on the ID and you will be prompted to sign out. Tap sign out and toggle iMessage Off. The do the same for FaceTime, meaning go to settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then toggle FaceTime off.
To toggle both iMessage and FaceTime back on and sign in with your new Apple ID. It may take a few minutes for the ID to be verified by the Apple servers but once it is verified, you are good to go.

IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

Since the latest iTunes update,
1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing. I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
"There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
Thanks for your help.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.
