No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

    No, you need 10.6.8 for an iPhone 5.

    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

    I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?

    Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
    Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

    Trying to set up my new iphone 5c using the iTunes back up from my iPhone 4. It keeps getting stuck on step 2 of 5 "syncing calendars" Considering I hardly use the calendar I don't know why it would take so long. (18 hours and counting)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • How can i set up my new iPhone again?

    i just got a new iphone 4s and i didnt click the right button to restore as backup to my previous phone, so nothing transferred.  what can i do?  i accidentally set it up like i have never had an iphone....

    Hi gys,
    jlindh123 is right. Or, if you haven't got any valuable data in your new iphone yet, you can go to Settings > General > Reset and then choose "Erase All Content and Settings". This will delete all data currently stored  in the phone, restart, and then you'll perform iPhone activation from all over again, like it's new.

  • HT1688 How can I set up my new iPhone to sync with my iPad

    I recently lost my iPhone so I went through insurance to get a new one. I know my iPhone wasn't backed up to iCloud in a while but my iPad is still up to date. How can I get my new iPhone to be the same as my iPad?

    iDevices do not sync with one another, never have.
    All content should be in iTunes on the computer, connect the new iPhone to the computer and either restore it from the most recent backup of the old iPhone or set up as new and sync the desired content to the device.

  • How can I set up a new iPhone from a backup that is too large

    I have just received an upgrade to an iPhone5. The problem is that my old 4s was a 32GB and my 5 is a 16GB. Is there a way to set up my new 16GB phone from a 32GB backup?

    The iPhone's backup is not a full mirror backup.
    The backup does not include any iTunes content - no music, tones, podcasts, movies, tv shows, audio & print books, and 3rd party apps. The backup does not include any photos that were transferred from your computer.

  • Can I set up a new iPhone using an old iPod backup?

    The support articles cover backing up and then restoring from backup but only on like devices. I just got my first iPhone and I need to set it up with my old iPod data. iTunes didn't cue me when I plugged it in and just set up the phone as a new phone. I just want to make sure I don't render the phone useless or something if I restore it from iPod data. If I have to re-enter everything manually I might cry.

    I'm going to answer my own question in case someone else needs it.
    I synced my iPod. Then, I wiped my iPhone and restored it to factory settings. Since I've only had it 36 hours, there wasn't much to lose. When it came back up, iTunes asked me which backup to use (which it didn't the first time, I still don't know why). I selected the one for the iPod. Everything seems to work. It installed everything, apps, as well as app data, but left everything unique to the phone alone. My biggest fear was bricking the phone if I installed iPod data over it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I still have a new, functional phone but now it has the treasure trove of data that's been in my critical device for the past four years.

  • I am setting up my new iPhone 5s with back up from iCloud but only my expired applied is recognised. even though i put in the original correct password it is not accepted as message comes up that "your apple id or password is incorrect". I am stuck.

    I am setting up my new iphone 5s using a back up from icloud. Problem arises when asked for Apple id and password the second time for store purchases. It shows my old expired Apple id (my old email address). There is no option to change the id and even when I put in the correct password for the old id (used originally) it kicks me out with the message ""Your Apple ID or password is incorrect" .. this is true  as my apple id is wrong but I cant change it. Anyone know what I should do. Dont have access to my old deleted email account. Thanks

  • I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

    I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?  I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

  • I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to a iphone5 and everytime i take pictures etc they store on the old phone as well as the new on iloud, how can I set up a new icloud on the old phone for my mum whos now using it without losing everything that was ? thanks

    i recently bought a new iphone 5 and gave the old iphone 4 to my mum.  every time i take picstures they automatically store on the iphone 4, how can i set up a new icloud for my mum on the iphone 4 but keep everything on my iphone 5?

    Your iphone 4 must still be logged into your icloud account.  Go to settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account.  This will remove all your data from the old device but not from icloud or your iphone 5.
    To create a new icloud account for your mum, go to

  • I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).
