HT2534 i bought this iphone 4 from a friend at work. it had his apple id still on it. well i reset everything and got my apple id set up. it works on everything but when i go to apps and update like facebook it ask for his apple id and not mind. how do i
can someone help me
What do you mean by 'reset everything' ? Did you delete all of the apps that he had downloaded onto it ? All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, so if the Facebook app was downloaded by his account then only his account will be able to download updates to it - you will need to delete the app and download it with your account for it to be linked to your account so that you can download future updates to it.

ive just bought a iphone 5s from a friend..i reset it and while setting it back up in my name it ask for a code for itunes gift card..is this necessary? is there not a promo code..
If you mean that you are creating a new iTunes account then the gift card field is optional, it doesn't have to be filled in, you can enter your credit card details instead as your payment method - and no, there isn't a 'promo code'.
Or there are instructions on this page for creating a new account (e.g. on a computer's iTunes) without giving payment details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Or do you mean something else ? -

Are you sure your friend didn't jailbreak it?
If so, save yourself a lot of time and trouble - throw it in the trash. -

You don't add media (other than music) to your device by dragging. It's by synching.

Hi I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. but he got it as a warranty replacement from Apple so he has no paperwork with the serial/IMEI. I need that kind of paperwork to be able to use my phone at work. what do I do to get it?
That information, and more, can be found in the About page of the settings. Tap Settings > General > About and you'll see a lot of information about the device.

attempting to download cloud on app to ipad. Step 2 of download process asks for a storage space. Not sure how to respond.
HHey GB, thanks, this was of great help and should, if you are correct, solve the problem quickly.
if I am unable to buy 'Hanna' then I am better to use the money (and that for the apparently totally useless iCloud storage!) on my much-needed medications (I am on Disability) OxyContin and Heroin Hydrochloride tablets From my UK pharmacy. Oh, and Gador Alplax bars from Argentina (we only get Xanax brand here and it is the most expensive in the world, and can only be bought in tiny 0.5mg dose meaning I need twelve tablets daily rather than only THREE of the 2mg Alplax 'bars').
my entertainment via my new iPad is my only real way of forgetting about the pain and anxiety problems I suffer.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING SO QUICKLY!

I dont know if its my computer because it says that the device is unknown and doesnt come up as apple mobile device but I've watched youtube videos that seemed like they had similiar problems but they didnt work for me. I've tried the whole home button thing,updating itunes and everything but the recovery screen still wouldnt go away. This is the first time I'm using an iphone so I'm totally clueless about whats happening.
Installing a SIM card will never rectify the device being in recovery mode.
Put the device in DFU mode and attempt to restore it as new via iTunes. Google "DFU mode" for instructions. -

You can't bypass it, your friend will have to remember or reset his password to be able to reactivate the phone - he should be able to reset the password via http://iforgot.apple.com
