I am trying to set up my new iPhone 5s with iTunes, I've connected my phone to the computer and synced all of my apps and music, but the screen on my phone still continues to say connected to iTunes and doesn't seem to be continuing on with the set up. Any ideas on what's wrong?

I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this?

I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.

The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed.

I am trying to download a free app but after entering my correct password I get the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". The only option then is to hit OK, which achieves nothing. How can I connect?

TS3694 Hi, just tried to do the latest update for my iPhone. Unfortunately, all I have now is a screen telling me to connect to iTunes. I've done that but iTunes won't recognize my device. Can you advise me on what I should do to fix the problem?

Hi, any suggestions as to how I can fix the problem on my iPhone?

Hello, ClareOlys.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first make sure all updates have been processed for the computer and iTunes. You may need to place the device in recovery mode before iTunes will recognize the device. Here is the article that explains that process.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If the device is still not recognized by iTunes, see the steps in the two articles below.

HT201412 i tried to update my ipod4 with iOS6 but after I updated it my iPod screen won't open and if it does it goes blue or yellow what should I do?

Please help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the backslash but it is not available. I can find it on other apps but not when trying to set up the mail account. (it is not on the keyboard)

I have an iphone 4s with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the back slash but it does not show up on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to be on the +key (and is for other apps) but for some reason it is not available when setting up an email account. Is this on purpose or am I doing something wrong?

I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV. If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first. I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time). Then restart the Apple TV. See if that will get you through the activation process. I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
I understand your frustration, though. Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

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.

Setup as New iPhone - Camera Roll Pitfalls?

I am expecting my iPhone 6 on Friday and am planning to choose the "Setup as New iPhone" option rather than restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Historically I have always restored from a backup but when my current iPhone 5 was having signal strength issues the guy I spoke to at the Genius Bar said sometimes it is best to do a clean install so you don't carry forward any corrupt files.
So I am trying to anticipate any potential problems / things to be aware of. I'm fine re-downloading all of my apps, music files from iTunes Match and re-doing all my settings. One thing that seems like it could be an issue is getting all my photos and videos from my existing Camera Roll back on the new phone in the new Camera Roll in chronological order. I've searched around and found a bunch of dated links with various suggestions for how to do this, including emailing all your photos back to yourself. Seems crazy given I have almost 2,000 photos and videos.
Any simple and foolproof suggestions for how to do this?
Any other things that I won't be able to restore exactly as I had them?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. So when I import the photos to iPhoto on my Mac, doesn't it put them in all sorts of various event folders? I have Photostream turned on so most photos I take on my iPhone are already on my Mac when I plug my iPhone into it - sometimes a handful are not. So the pics are scattered all over the place in the various photostream folders (August 2014 Photostream, etc) plus any leftovers that are imported manually. I would need to select all of those folders and sync them back to my iPhone through iTunes and then they end up in Events folders under "Albums" in the photo app on my iPhone? That's not ideal. What about videos?

Setup as new iPhone ?

I have two iPhones, a 3GS and a 3G, both running iOS 4.1 and using iTUnes 10.1.1.4
The 3G is an old iPhone, my wife got from a friend and now I want to do a backup/sync on my computer/iTunes. This 3G has never been connected to my iTunes, but each time I try I have the options to restore the 3G from my own 3GS backup or set it up, as a new iPhone.
I don't want to delete anything my wife has on her iPhone, so I will not choose to restore to my 3GS backup - but what if I choose "Setup as new iPhone", will it delete the iPhone and restore it as a new one ?

You've got a real problem there...bigger than your inquiry. If you try and restore that 3G, on your present system, either as new or from backup, the restore process will fail. The only iOS available from Apple, for that phone, is iOS 4.2.1. iOS 4.2.1 requires iTunes 10.1 or greater, which requires OS X 10.5.8 or greater. You will have to update your OS & iTunes before you will be able to restore from backup or setup as new.
but what if I choose "Setup as new iPhone", will it delete the iPhone and restore it as a new one ?
The phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box, with all data & iTunes content erased.
