Hi All, I just purchased the iphone 4S, was upgrading my phone with my itunes acct, its stuck with itunes, cable icon...Help.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

    I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

    You will need to upgrade your MacBook OS to at least 10.5.8 or preferably Snow Leopard 10.6.X

  • HT2477 I just purchased the IMac and was in the process of setting it up and got locked out.  A password is being requested and I did not establish one.  Is there a default password for the imac?

    I just purchased the iMac and was in the process of setting it up and it locked up, requiring me to put in a password.  I never established a password, does the iMac have a default password?

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.

  • Can I just buy the Iphone itself and activate it later with AT&T

    Hi can I just buy the Iphone 4 for the meantime. I'm still under contract with T-mobile for 4 more months. Once the contract is done then I'll sign up with AT&T.

    I'm with DaVBMan and Allan. I mean sure you can buy an iPhone without immediately signing up with AT&T but expect to pay around $700-$800 for the phone if you go this route. If you plan to go with AT&T right after your T-Mobile contract is up, you'll pay only $200-$300 (depends if you buy 16gb or 32gb) for the phone, so just wait for four months and buy that time, you should be able to get an iPhone with ease.
    Hope this helps!

  • Hello all. I just purchased the iphone 4s and i was interested to know if you have to pay again when copying songs purchased on another iphone

    I used to have an iphone 3G, i have a lot of purchased items so I was interested to know that when putting them onto my iphone4s using the icloud will i need to pay for them again? i know it sounds silly because youve already paid for the song, but i just wanted to be sure. Many thanks

    I am using the same iTunes account, its straight from the 'purcased' part off the store.

  • Just purchased the iphone, can't do the "simple" registration.....

    I am so frustrated at this point. I already had itunes downloaded on my computer. I tried hooking the phone to the computer and it isn't listed as a "device". I followed all the help articles, which did absolutely nothing (to be honest, I wasn't even sure where they were going with half the things it told me to do). So, now I am trying to reinstall itunes hoping that will help. For now, I keep getting an error message that is a number (I think 3728?) and gives NO other info. At the end it just says it couldn't be completed. The ATT lady gave me a phone number for support, but I just get a recorded message saying that number isn't available from my calling area. I am about ready to throw this thing into the nearest wall. Any ideas?

    64 bit Vista is not supported but I have heard instances where it has worked.
    The official requirements are: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Mac OS 10.4.1 or higher.. The latest version of iTunes, and an iTunes account (which will require a credit/debit card to set up).
    If you have all the above then when you plug your iPhone in iTunes should detect it and take over the whole process should be about five minutes until your phone is activated.
    If you are having problems still, I would think that maybe iTunes has become corrupted and would suggest a complete uninstall/reinstall. If you are still having problems all signs seem to point to your computer.. more specifically your OS being the culprit.
    I hope the easiest solution ends up being the correct one.
    Good luck

  • Just purchased the iphone 4s from Sprint and I can't access the App store.

    I am trying to figue out why I can't click on the app store, sign in and get in.  It just keeps telling me that it is loading and then tells me that I can not connect. Help!

  • Hi,all.  Just bought the IPhone 5 and before I try to sync it I am wondering if I have an option to download my music only / my pictures only from ICloud?  Anyone have site that explains how? TY

    Hi, All.  I just bought a new IPhone 5 and before I try to sync it I am wondering if I will have an option to download only my Music / my pictures
    only from the Cloud?  Really only want to transfer my music.   Or does it just automatically load everything in the cloud?
    TY.

    Syncing and restoring from backup are two different things.

  • Just purchased the iPhone 6....Siri is not "listening"....any ideas?

    Siri does not respond when I hold down the home button.  The line on the bottom of the screen stays flat.  It is like she can't hear me....

  • Just got the Iphone 6 and it paired BT with the car phone system okay.  But it will not pair with the audio part where I could play my recorded music with my 5-C.  The system will not connect with the phone and the message is that the settings

    My toyota Seinna 2011 refuses to connect with my Iphone 6 as a "portable player".  Message says for me to adjust the player.  On the phone it is searching for other devices but not connecting.  Now same phone is paired with the car multimedia system and will take and make calls.  Help!

    I very much doubt it  if you consider how much data Apple release to App developers
    to allow them to create apps that  work under iOS
    Audi being lazy like most of the other motor manufacturers
    They will be registered developers and as such get all the info and data they need
