I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID

I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID. I just created it and everytime I enter it in the setup screen it says Can't Create Apple ID: Account Limit Reached.

It sounds like you have too many devices associated with that Apple ID.
Sign on to iTunes on your computer. Go to Store > View Account from iTunes' menu. Sign in and click "Manage Devices". Remove some.

I'm setting up a new iPad air and it won't take my Apple ID

I'm setting up a new iPad3 and I'm at the step where it asks for my Apple ID to finish setting up the iCloud. Any clues? I double checked and used the password in iTunes and it works....
Any help appreciate!

Setting up new iPad mini- it won't accept apple 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?

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).

Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on.
Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone. Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password. I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
Any help please.
I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id. Hopefully this is a good thing!

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).

I set up my new iphone 5S and when picking my 4 digit passcode, I entered wrong code and can't remember it.

I set up my new iphone 5S and when selecting my 4 digit passcode, I must have entered something I did not intend. Now I can't unlock my phone unless I use my right thumb print. Is there anyway I can correct this. Is it possible to reset the phone to orginal content and reload my new phone from my itunes account? I still have my old phone with all it's data on it.

The following gives instructions for a forgotten passcode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

Have a new iphone 5S and music won't play when headphones are plugged in. Restored the phone and tried again without restoring my info. Any ideas on apps that cause this?

I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in. They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this. So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?

We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this.

HT204409 I have a new iphone 5 and it won't connect to a wireless router that my old iphone 3GS would pick up. Is there a compatibility issue with some routers or is the antenna weaker in the new iphone 5?

I have a new iphone 5 and I can't pick up a wireless router that I could use with my old iphone 3GS. Is there an issue with the new iphone and is the antenna weaker than the 3GS?

Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?
created by mpa9366 in Using iPad - View the full discussion
Having done a lot of reading today and having found a very good online tablet magazine (will post link tomorrow) there seems to be a few tech bods onto the problem.
The magazine I was reading identified wifi problems within hours of the ios 6 release and have been analysing since then with almost daily updates - the story seems to be:
The apple authenthication transmission is normal, it should slip through event prior to a full handshake with the host network being completed - however if not authenthicated then apple will not permit the device to connect (kills the connection) this is designed to protect apple from counterfeiting. So thats problem 1 if you dont receive a token from apple.
Problem 2 is that ios 6 only supports ipv6 (the new ip protocol) whereas outside silicon valley a large proportion of routers modems etc are still ipv4 protocol.
So youre locked into ipv6 in a world where ipv4 devices are everywhere and apple have not allowed for the ability to handle both protocols. This is like GM telling you your car requires an upgrade, everything will improve etc and as part of the upgrade fits a fuel cell motor and stays silent when their upgraded vehicles are simply parked up because they cannot get fuel.
A very basic expectation would have been dual protocol handling - we know the HW supports ipv4 as all wad fine on ios5.
So its going to be hit and miss with networks - more hit than miss in techy areas like silicon valley, but more miss in places like where I am - a small town in rural Switzerland.
Only apple can fix this with a patch to enable ipv4 protocol handling.
There you go. you just need to buy a new router, I'm sure Apple has one for sale, cause it's not there fault for sure.
Wonder why people start to migrate to other devices ?

I just got a new iPhone S and it won't turn on.

I just gota new iPhone 5 S and it won't turn on. I've tried holding down the button, resetting, and charging. Sim card is installed and activated. Any other suggestions?

As other have suggested, sounds like you should take it to the Apple Store to have them check out the hardware.
However, don't overlook the simple things first. Check that your lightning cable is plugged in to the iPhone securely, and that the USB end is plugged into the charger securely, and that the charger is plugged into a known working wall outlet. Check for things like a power strip or switched outlet that is not turned on.
I know this stuff sounds obvious but you would be amazed how often we all overlook the simple things when trying to solve technology problems.

HT2155 hi, I have just set up a new iphone 4 and in settings I activated the imessage facility ok, selecting my own number which was greyed out plus my email address but I cant get off this page? If I close settings and re open it takes me back to the sam

anyone got any suggestions as to how I can go about gettings back into the settings menu?

do a reset, no data loss. HOld down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Setting up Find my Iphone ap and it says to verify my Apple ID. I do that and the email comes in with the "Verify Now" link, which doesn't work. What next?

Sounds like you need to update iTunes on your computer. You may also need to update OSX as well to at least lion

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.

i got my new iPhone 5 and i connected it to my iTunes on mac and it ask me if i want to setup as new iPhone or restore backup and i restore back up but now i want to delete backup and set up as new iPhone, is the anyhow?

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

Whenever I try to sync my 3gs to my laptop itunes only gives me two options: set up as new iphone or restore to a backup. I already mistakenly restored the phone to a previous back up and the options are still the same. I am using itunes 10.4.1.10.

Back in March my PC crashed while updating my Iphone 3Gs. Both froze and were rendered unusable. The Iphone had to be restored to factory settings in order to be used. The PC required more work and was delayed by warranty issues. In the meantime I bought a laptop and installed the newest version of Itunes. Itunes recognizes my phone but only comes up as "Set up your Iphone" with two subsequent options: set up as new iphone or restore from back up. I have mistakenly chosen the option to restore it back to July 2, 2011 when I last synced. No big deal, but it will not let me go beyond that screen and I cannot transfer my recovered apps or anything else. Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
