I try to activate the old iphone 3 as a ipod touch. But when I take out the ATT small card. And connect to iTune in computer. It look like to upgrade software. After that all the information is gone. When I boot up the old iphone. It ask me the wifi password. When done. It keep said that: your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarity unavailable. or try again in a couple of minutes.

Just bought a new iPhone and am having trouble with iTunes and App Store. I can log in to Cloud, iTunes, and app store but once I try to download, it says "Youe apple id has been disabled". I've reset my password three times and have no issue on my Pad.

I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!
You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup. Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?

Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud.
Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud. The error message says "Not enough storage". When I go to Settings>iCloud, it gives me 2 devices, my old iphone 4s has 3.5GB, the new 4s has 0KB. When I go to delete the old backup the warning says "Do you want to turn off backup and delete all backup data from iCloud?" That is definitely not what I want to do. How do I keep my data from my old phone? All I am backing up are contacts and calendar, my photos have never been backed up on iCloud. Don't get why that is taking up all the storage.
Deleting the backup from your old phone only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything to the data on your phone, or the iCloud data your are syncing with iCloud. If you no longer need the backup of your other phone you can go ahead and delete it to free up space in your iCloud account.

just bought a new iphone 4s 16gb my sim worked correctly after puting and old profile on the phone so I could get all the info now it says invalid sim what can I do o fix this?
I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

I just bought a new iPhone, I don't know new phone's ID and password. how can I find them? Because I can't dwonload anything.
You don't. Can you get into the iPhone at all or is it asking for a 4 digit passcode when you turn it on?
Edit: Reread your subject. So to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Settings and Content. After that set it up on your computer as a new iPhone and it will transfer you Apple ID

Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?
Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?
I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?
Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?
The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck -
I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please helpThe iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key. -
Just bought a new iphone 5, i have an old imac computer OSX 10.5.8 and itune version 10 (updated at great cost last year for iphone4) it dosen't let me restore data... any chance of update or do i have to thow away my computer (and never by Mac again?)
You an use your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.
But the product description for the iPhone clearly states that in order to sync with a Mac you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later. That version of the OSX is usually called Snow Leopard. There are two mo recent versions of OSX. OSX 10.7.x (Lion) and OSX 10.8.x (Mountain Lion).
If you can upgrade your computer to at least Snow Leopard I suggest you do so.
