I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please help me!!

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

  • I restored my iphone but now it will not power on fully.  The Itunes plugin appears.  I plug it in and restore as requested but the phone never restarts like it says it will.  I have done this several times now but nothing. Suggestions?

    Sounds like time to take it back to Apple for repair.

  • When my iphone 5s was doing an update my laptop died. Now it wont turn on it only will show me the screen to connect to iTunes but iTunes doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. I cant access anything on my phone it just says connect to iTunes.

    I have tried turning my phone, and laptop off, I also uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.

    Hello errod2014,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes,  follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT4061 Hi, I did an IOS update last week and when the ipad rebooted it is asking me for a passcode ... i have never entered a passcode originally so dont know what passcode to input to open my ipad... it just locks me out... help what do i do ??

    I need help :-(
    Did an IOS update last week and after the Ipad rebooted it said slide to unlock then asked for a passcode to be entered..... I have never set a passcode ever ??
    What number do I enter to unlock the Ipad ... have tried the usual 0000 and 9999 etc but just locks me out .... HELP  !!!
    Or is there a way to go back to factory settings ?? (Without losing my Apple ID etc)
    Thanks

    If this was your first update to iOS 7 then you were asked to CREATE a passcode. Also there would have been a small Skip button to avoid creating the passcode. If, when you encountered that request you went ahead and entered a passcode number then you must use that number to unlock your device. Once the device is unlocked you can change or delete the passcode using the Settings app.
    To completely remove the passcode lock you need to connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and restore the iPad. This will erase all data on the iPad so be sure your info, photos, etc. are backed up first.

  • HT1212 my itouch wont let me enter a password it just says connect to itunes

    my itouch won't let me enter a passwork it just says connect to itunes

    You will have to put your iPod into Recovery Mode so that iTunes can restore it.
    Note that all data will be erased due to the full restore the iPod will go through.
    If you don't want this because you don't made a backup yet, use an external software to save photos and other data.
    How to enter Recovery Mode:

  • Ipod touch won't connect to Itunes, Only shows its charging. Screen just says connect to itunes. Won't do anything else.

    Ipod touch G4. Daughter turned it off and restarted it and now it just says connect to itunes. When I do it isn't recognized but shows its charging. I've tried different usb cords and a different computer, also tried restarting the Apple Mobile device as it tells me in help forum. Any help is appreciated.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Not able to use ipad i cant get the passcode off its just saying connect to itune and that's not working

    not able to get passcode off its doing nothing. it s just say connect to itune and it want do that so i guess i will send it back

    You can't remove the Passcode if you can't remember it.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    Hey vsu16,
    Does iTunes recognize your iPhone at all? It sounds like this is the image you're seeing on your screen to connect your phone to iTunes:
    If that looks right, you'll want to follow along with the steps in here;
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.

    Hello there Unicornbarf534,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
    General installation troubleshooting
    1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
    3. Install the latest version of iTunes
    Additional troubleshooting
    After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
    1. Make sure you have administrator account access
    2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
    3. Get the latest Windows updates
    4. Disable other conflicting software
    Additional Information
    If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
    Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
    If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

    I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

    Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

  • I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  what needs to be corrected?

    In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  What needs to be corrected?

    I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
    You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
    The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
    Some things to try.
    Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
    If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
    If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • HT201304 I Have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do so i can restore factory settings

    i have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do to restore my factory settings?

    To remove a restrictions password you'll have to restore your phone as a new device without using your backup and start over.  Save as much of your data as you can first (import your photos & videos to your computer, email your notes to yourself of sync them to a supported program, back up your contacts such as by syncing them with iCloud, etc.), then follow this guide to restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
