I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
No promises.

No. It's an app from the AppStore. Like all other apps from the AppStore you choose which ones to download.

I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
now when i downlaoded some apps on my pc and try to sync , it says that the existing apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one in my itune library.
what is the way that i can have the existing apps on my iphone to remain and also install new apps when i download without losing the installed onesI got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?

That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.

Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts. -
I just bought a new Mac. How do I get everything I have on my iphone to the new computer?
I just bought a Mac and I have an iphone that use to be connected to a PC. Could I transfer everything I have on my iphone to the new Mac? Will I loose anything?
You can transfer all iTunes purchased music, media and apps, but not any music/media obtained from other sources, which will get deleted from the phone when you sync:
1. Disable automatic syncing on connection it iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
2. Connect phone.
3. Right-click device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases."
4. Now OK to sync phone. -
So I bought an ipad from a friend's friend that was leaving to his home country but the ipad is linked to his account and I can't reach him to ask for the information that the ipad is asking so I was wondering if there is a way that I can reset the ipad without me having to enter his apple id and password.
No, there is not.
That person will have to release the iPad from Find My iPad or you will not be able to use it.

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.
This could be a couple different things.
The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
Is she able to get signed in at
Appleid.apple.com
and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
How many devices are registered to that Apple ID? -

i bought my phone from a friend who lived in china and would now like to change the phone to allow me to use the internet in south africa
If it is a genuine iPhone 4S (I know many people who have been duped by the cheap Chinese knock-off) then it should be unlocked for use with an SA SIM card. MTN and Vodacom both use the APN "internet", and you may find that if you are using a Vodacom SIM then the default APN is set as "iphone.vodacom.za". Change this by:
(iOS 6+) Going into Settings > Mobile Data > APN Settings and changing the APN to "internet".
(iOS 5<) Going into Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network and changing the APN to "internet".
I'm not sure what the APN is for Cell C, 8.ta and Virgin but I'm certain they are the same.
Hope this helps. -
I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?

Identify Your iPad
http://www.ifixit.com/Info/ID-your-iPad
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

How to install iOS 6
http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom -
We bought a ipad from a friend but she doesnt know the email address or password she used to set it up we have already reset it what can we do now?
Well, a portion of it will appear in the activation screen. It could be enough to jog her memory. She is going to have to reset the password so she can remove the device. If she cannot remove the device from her account, the device is useless to you. If she does not want to try and remove it, then demand your money back. Apple cannot assist you. If however, she purchased the device new, she can take the device and the original sales slip to an actual Apple Store and they may be able to help.
