I am the owner of my iPhone 4 and it had not been updating and allowing me to download apps. So I decided to do factory setting, before doing so I had backed up my phone on my computer then I had erased everything from my iphone. But now I want to start everything from the beginning, and on my setting my Apple ID is present however when I put my password in it doesn't let me log in. The message that I receive says that I would have to remove my Apple ID as it will not let me log in with that I'd even though I am the original owner, I have tried everything on find my iPhone as well, even there my Apple ID not showing on the devise.
If anyone has had a similar experience could you please advise me on what to do,
ThanksYou must have the credentials that were used to turn on Find my iPhone on the device. Without them, you can not get past the activation lock.

Yes, it will.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -

ITunes wants to erase everything on my iPhone
Been scouring the net for solutions but couldn't find anything.
Recently got a new computer, and want to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes, and iTunes says that I'll need to erase everything on my iPhone.
How do I make iTunes "follow" my iPhone, instead of having my iPhone "follow" iTunes, if you know what I mean?
I absolutely need everything on the iPhone, don't need anything in iTunes, so it makes no sense to wipe out my iPhone instead of wipe out iTunes.
To be clear, I've read threads about the "Manually manage my songs" option, but that's not what I'm asking about.
Hope someone could help me out, thanks!If the content is only on your phone(bad idea! as the iTunes content sync is ONE WAY: COMPUTER TO PHONE), do the following:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC.
3. Store>Authorize this Computer.
4. File>Transfer Purchases(all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your new computer's iTunes library).
Before you do anything else, put one contact and one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use for contact & calendar syncing on your computer. This will ensure you get a merge or replace prompt when you do sync. Select merge.
For music you ripped on your own & photos synced to your phone, you will have to use third party software to extract these from your phone BEFORE you sync or do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Here's one choice to do so:

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.
If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?
You turned off all firewall and antivirus ? You could try downloading the update via a browser - what device are your trying to download the update for ? If it's an iPhone 4 :
GSM / sim card model
CDMA model
Then in iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file -
Will a software update erase everything off my BlackBerry Curve?
My Blackberry Desktop manager says that I can update my 5.0 software to the 6.0 software, but I'm worried if it will erase everything off my phone like my BBM contacts, pictures, music and everything else?

Ok, this is not funny!!!! What's going on with the iPhone?
Both the iTunes (old version) and iPhone were working fine until last night, when I updated the iTunes for the new version. A message came saying that I needed to restore my iPhone. Since then, the phone is not working. Every time I try to restore a message shows saying " The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). My macbook and iTunes does not recognize the phone and the image of USB cable is on my phone screen.
I already tried all the options on the troubleshooting, but nothing seems to work.
Help please... I am desperate!!! -
I had my iphone stolen from me and i was wondering if i erased everything from the phone on find my iphone if it would still stay in the cloud
Yes QuickTimeKirk is right, you will still be able to access your data if a backup has been previously made using iCloud or iTunes. With a stolen iPhone it's also important to make sure you notify your network provider as soon as possible to prevent theif from running up your phone bill.

I need help on how to download the ios 4.3. to my iphone 3gs. My mom was using it and everythig was fine but when she upgraded the lady erased everything so it would be like new and now when i try to download a app like facebook it says it requires ios 4.3. and i have asked people at phone places and i have hooked it up to itunes and still havent been able to..when i go to settings then general it doesnt show up any software updates, that whole part is erased. someon eplease help me!\
What version of iOS are you running? I'm going to bet that you do NOT have a 3Gs. You have a 3G. The highest version of iOS that can run is 4.2.1.
If you did not save a copy of the older facebook at that could run on 4.2.1 on your computer that you can sync back, then you're out of luck. The newest version (and the only one available in the app store) will not run on 4.2.1.
You will have to resort to using the mobile web page in Safari or find a 3rd party app that will run on your phone. -
HT4623 i am trying to update the os for an iphone 3???
i am trying to update the os for an iphone 3
If you are running ios 4.2.1 and are on a iphone 3g, then your at the end of the road for updates and would have to upgrade your phone to a newer phone in order to get the latest ios.

Latest iTunes update erased everything on my mac mini
After the latest update of iTunes about 2 weeks ago, nothing works on my mac mini except iTunes. All of my pictures are gone. only 1 cd is still in the library and it will play but the rest, about 97% of my music, is gone. All of my installed applications are missing. Surprisingly my movies are still there and they will play. None of the system applications work any more. Time maching gives me an unknown error when I try to open it. Safari does not exist any more. Any ideas on how to roll back the update?
Frankly if an iTunes update could do that much to your computer then your computer must have been in pretty bad shape to start with in terms of directory corruption, badly set permissions, etc.
The only feasible way to roll back an update is to restore to an earlier copy of your drive using a backup.
I'd start by booting to your installer disc, then use Disk Utilities to verify and repair the drive if necessary. Once it reports all is clear, boot to your computer's hard drive and use Disk Utility in Utilities to to repair permissions. The problem with doing this now vs. before all this started is that some damage may have already been done ans might not be reversible without a lot of work, if at all. -
