I can sync content from my PC to my iPhone with my Apple ID, but it doesn't appear in my list of authorised devices in iTunes ( for iCloud)

I have managed to associate my iPod Touch 5th generation, iPad 2 and my PC with my Apple ID alright, but I couldn't do this with my iPhone 4s. Granted , the iPhone was originally my mum's who lives in another country and I simply made a whole reset to factory setting when I started using the phone. It says there that it takes 90 days for an Apple device to be allowed to associate with another Apple ID , but I've been using the iPhone for almost half a year now and I still haven't got any option to authorise the device to my Apple ID and it hasn't appeared in my account's list of devices so far. 
Do I have to return to my home country, connect the iPhone to my mother's PC and remove the device from her account's list of devices? Is there any other way?

Thanks for the reply, have checked and that seems to be the problem, I have plugged in my ipad and the missing app has appeared.

  • I am having a weird problem with my phone every since it was updated this last time. I can sync movies from my computer to my iphone but any movies I buy with my phone I can not sync to the computer. But I redownload it to the computer and can then sync.

    I for the first time since buying my iphone and ipods for almost three years am concedering getting rid of them as I am getting tired of this problem. I can sync anything from my computer to the iphone. I can not sync movies bought on the iphone to my computer. I have tried everything and spent days trying to trouble shoot. I literally have bought hundreds of movies off Itunes but will not buy any thing else until I can figure this problem out. I have uninstalled Itunes reinstalled, troubles shooted using the itunes trouble shooter and reset my phone and nothing works.
    When I try to sync from my phone to the computer it says it can not be done because the iphone is not hooked up to the computer. I have only had these problesm since the new update not before. I have bought new cables twice to see if it helped and has not. Both my kids have Ipods, I have a Iphone and was planning on buying two Ipads for the kids for Christmas but not if I can fix this.

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • How can i change from my single app to creative cloud membership? the 'switch plan' doesn't appear in my account?

    how can i change from my single app to creative cloud membership? the 'switch plan' doesn't appear in my account?

    Locking this discussion.  Please see my response at how can i get some help to cancel my single app month to month and/or upgrade to full creative cloud membership? please don't tell me to follow the guidelines because i've tried several times but the options to 'switch plan' or cancel plan' are not availa.
    John T Smith please feel free to also reference this discussion.  I believe it partly explains the frustration individuals face when attempting to cancel their membership.

  • Hi! I sold my Iphone on ebay. The seller wants to connect the Iphone with his Apple ID, but it did not work because it says that the Iphone is already connected with another Apple ID. How can I get rid of this old connection? What do I have to do?

  • HT1925 I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?

    I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?
    When I click on itunes store within itunes, the screen comes up blank. I'm using a macbook pro.

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
    In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

    I can update data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, and from my iPhone to my Mac and iPad, but cannot get data to update from my iPad to either my Mac or my iPhone.

    If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.

  • Purchased a downloadable recording from a website - I can access it through my mailbox where the vendor sent me the link, but it doesn't appear to have actually downloaded anywhere on my IPad 2

    I purchased a downloadable recording from a website.  I can access it through the confirmation they sent me in my mailbox, but it doesn't appear to actually have downloaded on to my iPad 2 device.  Where is it?  Can I create an icon for it on my home screen.

    If you bookmark the link as favorite you can have an icon on your Safari page. Some websites let you add a icon on your home screen but it's still a link to a website.

  • Can I use one phone number on two iphones with two apple ids?

    My carrier allows multiple sim cards with the same phone number for usage on different devices. I would like to use a second sim card for my phone number on a second iphone, but with a different apple id.
    Is it possible to use one phone number on two iphones with separate apple ids? How does this affect facetime/imessage?
    I can only find answers to using the same apple id on multiple devices. This works fine, but is not what I want to do here.

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

  • This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

    Hi
    This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
    Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than  year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

    Region Code 4:
    Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
    Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • HT1296 can i sync content from "safe note" app from iPod to iPhone?

    can i sync content from "safe note" app from iPod to iPhone?

    No.
    If you aren't syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or not syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your iPhone that supports this with a number of accounts that do which are free including a free Apple iCloud account, and your iPhone's backup is not being done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account and you don't have a backup for your iPhone on a computer, your contacts will be lost.

  • Can purchased content (from iTunes) be uploaded into iTunes U?

    I suspect that this question has been answered, but I couldn't find the right combination of keywords to find the answer. So the question remains: Can purchased content (from iTunes) be uploaded into iTunes U?

    No, you must have the digital rights to the content in order to upload it to iTunes U. Please review the copyright information for uploaded content at http://images.apple.com/support/itunesu/docs/iTunes_U_CopyrightOverview.pdf
