HT1937 why did my iphone 5 ask me to create a password upon activation?

When I first went to activate my iphone 5, it made me create a password.  What was that and why?

  • HT1807 Why did my iPhone 4s ask me to choose a carrier after a restore?

    I restored my iphone 4s and was asked to activate.  When I tried activating I was asked to choose a carrier.  At the top of the carriers was a message that said that 'Your phone will be locked to the carrier you choose'. What does that mean? My options are Verizon, Sprint and Virgin Mobile.  What should I do?

  • Why is the new version asking 4 times for my password upon launch?

    MacOS 10.10.1 iTunes 12.0.1.26
    Since the last update each time that I am launching iTunes, I get the login window asking me 4 times to input my Apple ID password.
    Can this be disabled somewhere?

    Hello Pierre,
    The article linked below details a number of steps that can help identify the source of and alleviate iTunes' inordinate need for authorization.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

    I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.

  • HT201210 Why did my iPhone go in to recovery mode because it failed to update?

    Probably because the update did not complete and/or the files got/were corrupted.

  • Why did my iphone add a  1 to all my contacts?

    Why did my iphone add a +1 to all my contacts after shutting it off? Now my contacts have disappeared because it does not recognize any of the numbers due to the +1.

    Did you change your region settings?
    If so, change it back to the country you're in.
    The reverse has happened to me from Austria to America, now my phone has old messages from austrian numbers but it doesn't show their names anymore because the implied +43 country code is gone.

    When I try to email a photo from my iphone it ask for my id and password, then it says you already have an account?

    I figured out that I could use the message selection it gives and just type in my email address and it worked.  I dont know why the email selection never worked, it just kept asking me to enter id and password and then telling me I have an account?  I will be getting the newest phone so I can be rid of this ancient one: )

    Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
    Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

  • Iphone keeps asking me for my AppleID password

    My iPhone keeps asking me for my AppleID password. 
    This usually happens after I wake the phone and/or start any app.  The problem is intermittent (and too consistant that it has become very annoying!)
    This started happening about 1.5 weeks ago.
    I called into Apple support and they don't have any idea of how to fix it other than me backing up my phone and performing a brand new restore.  I haven't done that yet as it seems to be a brute force approach (and lengthy timewise at that). 
    From what I can remember, I purchased a song from my iPhone using the iTunes store.  Ever since then, it has started asking me for my password for my AppleID.  If I enter the password and click OK, everything is fine, but after a few moments, it will ask me for my password again.  Also, if I hit Cancel, everything is fine, and again, it will ask me for my AppleID password. 
    I have the lastest build/version of iOS 5.0.1 installed.  The password entered IS correct.  I am able to purchase music/movies/tv shows from my AppleTV with the same AppleID and password.  I have verified on my iPhone under settings, Itunes that my AppleID is correct as well.
    Anybody else getting this and/or have a solution?

    Could be a few things...Some things to check:
    -Do you have pending downloads in the itunes store? Go to ITunes Store > More > Downloads
    -Are you signed into the correct Apple ID in the store? Go to Settings > Store and check the Apple ID. It may be a good idea to just sign out (by tapping on the apple ID and choosing sign out) and sign back in even if you are.
    -Other things that use your Apple ID that you might check: App Store, Facetime, iMessage, iCould, Game Center

  • Why did my iPhone photos get deleted and can I recover them?

    An entire album's worth of photos were deleted and I want to know why and if I can recover them.
    I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 6, iTunes 10, PC user.  Under "photo albums" I created a new album called "job photos" which I've been moving photos to as needed.  Today I took a bunch of picutures at work with my iPhone, and before I got to my computer I moved them over from the "camera roll" to the "job photos" album, then deleted the originals in "camera roll".  Everything worked fine until I synced the phone to iTunes. 
    Up until today I've been syncing a folder on my PC with a bunch of photos to my iPhone.  In order to save space on the phone I unchecked the "sync" box to stop syncing those photos.  After the phone was done syncing not only was my PC album gone but all the photos in my "job photos" album were gone too.  ***?
    Why did this happen and is there a way to recover the photos I just lost?  My iPhone wasn't backed up so I wouldn't be able to do a backup recovery.  Please help.

    You lost the photos because the actual data is in Camera Roll.  When you see pix in albums, it is by virtue of pointers to the actual storage in Camera Roll.  Otherwise, you would be using up storage by creating albums.  SO, do not delete from Camera Roll until you have copied to your PC.
