I accidently backed up my husband's iphone immediately after mine without selecting "set up as a new device". His phone is now all messed up and is set up just like mine. Is there a way to undue this?
Hello KerriSueotto,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If your husband had iCloud setup on the phone and was backing up to it, then he could restore from his iCloud backup.
He can check for a backup in the Settings of his iPhone.
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
From: iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Note: He may have to sign into the iCloud section of the iPhone Settings.
If there is a backup listed there, then use this article to restore from that backup.

i just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...
Let's first define what "new" means. Was it purchased from Apple or your authorized carrier, and it came in a shrink wrapped box? Or is it only new to you, and you don't know its history?
Assuming it truly is a new, never used phone, Error 9 means that the USB connection to the phone is intermittent. Do the following:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4) - if not, download and install it from htp://www.apple.com/itunes
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall software
Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse
Connect the cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub; do not connect the other end to the phone yet (If your computer is a desktop or tower and has ports on both front and back us a port on the back)
Launch iTunes
Connect the phone to the other end of the cable
If the phone is recognized in iTunes proceed with the Restore
If the phone is NOT recognized by iTunes:
Disconnect the cable from the phone (leave connected to the computer)
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes blank, then IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button
Connect the cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button (this may take several minutes of holding)
If you still have a problem after these steps take the phone to Apple for exchange. -

When I plug in my new iPhone 5 to sync with my computer it tells me I need iTunes 7. I tried to download it, but it will not load on my computer because I need a software upgrade to 10.6.8, which from what I understand is a paid upgrade to snow leopard. I cannot find it anywhere! All of our stores that sell Apple products do not carry it anymore. My computer is a MacBook I bought in late August 2008, the ONLY thing wrong with it after all these years is this particular problem. I thought Apple products were superior because of their long life in comparison to other computers, why would Apple shorten the lifespan of its product by no longer supporting it with software??
10.6 Snow Leopard will run on any Intel mac. So that's any Mac made in the last 6 years. Snow Leopard came out in July 2009 and only cost $29. So you had over 3 years to have upgraded your MacBook.
You're willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars for a new phone but not the $29 in the last three years to have upgraded your OS on your MacBook.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Hi everyone is normal that I have been charged for update of my new Iphone 4?

How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.) If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/). -
Just Got New Shuffle... Wont connect to computer
So i finally got the new Ipod Shuffle! but.. it wont work!!!
i downloaded the new iTunes 7 and now i was read to plug in the USB cord.. when i plug it in, nothing happens.. not even error boxes or anything.. its just as if i didnt even plug it in... can anyone help me please?
At first i thought i needed to charge it but wont a light flash if its charging? nothing happening.
PLEASE HELP ME...Ha! A kindred spirit!
Ok, I've been trying to get help with the same thing for about a week now. I've tried every troubleshooting thing I can find, but to no avail. I finally broke down and went to an Apple Store. (A very dangerous place) to be sure!
Anyway, at the Genius counter we discovered that the base was defective. The metal plug, that goes into the headphone jack, tip had been either mis formed, or busted off.
You should compare your base with your headphones, see if the metal plug is the same length.
Good Luck! -
I have an iPhone 5s. Just updated from my 5. My husband just got an iPhone. I purchased music over the last year.
He was told to create his own account we don't get each others messages. But how can he upload music I already purchased?
Also my dads got over a thousand songs on his iTunes account. Is there a way to share? I get the whole stealing music stuff but this is purchased music I'm talking about. He paid for albums of music. Mine are random songs and a few albums.
And last. I have CDs I purchased. How do I put them onto my iTunes account. My dad set it up for me two years ago (3 phones ago) n I'm not
Sure how to do this. My original computer n then my laptop both crashed so I don't have access
To any of it anymore.Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

SHARING iTunes MUSIC
http://macmost.com/five-ways-to-share-music-in-itunes.html -
I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer -
I have got an ipod and now an iphone can I have two ids on the one computer or need to use same
I have an Ipod and have just got an Iphone 4S can I have two different ids on the one email address
You can us more than one Apple ID/iTunes account on one computer.See:

It is simpler to use one account though.
