I need to sync my phone with my computer as a new phone.  When I attach the cord, iTunes is not asking me if it is a new phone but tries to sync my prior apps.  I was having problems and do not want to restore my old settings.  How?

How can I force iTunes to let me backup my iPhone to my computer as a new phone?  It is not asking me if it is a new device but is trying to restore my old settings.

Go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Check the box "Prevent iPods, iPhones & iPads from syncing automatically".
then connect the phone, click on its name, and click the "Restore iPhone" button.

  • When I tried to update my ipod touch, there was a problem and i don't get to restaure the softwere

    I was updating my ipod touch 64gb with the new operation softwere, there was a problem, and the itunes message showed that I had to restaure. When I try to restaure the follow message appear '' The apple site is not available" I tried to use the existent procedures without sucess. What sould I do?

    If the message said can not contact the update server:
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise I do not understand the problem.

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

  • Issue with office web apps sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.

    Hi All,
    i am having issue when trying to open the word file using office web apps farm. i have multi-tier farm (2 wfe, 2 apps and 2 owa). is that something wrong with certificate or the way AAM configured. Can anyone give me some direction please?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you failed to open the word file using office web app.
    Please open the word file using office web app in other SharePoint sites and test whether this issue occurs. Also, please test whether all words have this issue.
    Please reset IIS on the OWA server.
    Please disconnect the SharePoint Farm from Office Web Apps and reconnect it. Then check the WOPIZone and TMG server.
    Please created certificate for your PC and update mappings of IP addresses.
    Some useful posts for your reference:

    Hi Waqas
    Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
    Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
    Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
    I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
    Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
    If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
    the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
    I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
    Any further help with this is much appreciated.
    Thanks again.

    Hi can you help I was having problems with my iPod so I restored it but I
    accidentally set it up as a new iPod is there any way to restore it from an old
    backup when I right click iPod in iTunes there isn't one anyway to recover one
    or find it on computer

    The following says how to restore from backup.

    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

    My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

    Why would you make a new account?  This will likely cause many problems.  Just get you old account enabled.
    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • HT4009 IX have an iPad version 4.3 and I had instagram install, like I was having problem I uninstalled it, but now I can't install it again, because my iPad doesn't support the new version, is there a way that I can download instagram for this iPad?

    Update your iOS.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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 anitvirus 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.

  • I was having problems with my iPhone 5s. Was able to get another 5s. In the process of setting it up, but it is taking forever ... and it seems to be frozen at one particular place.

    I was having problems with my iPhone 5s (couldn't receive iMessages or emails). Cell company tried "fixing it" but to no avail. They ordered me a repacement 5s. Trying to set up, but it is taking forever. Seems to be stuck in one particular spot. It's at the stage with a black screen, white apple icon and a bar underneath. The bar is is just a fraction complete, and it has been stuck in this spot for almost an hour. Tried to restart it but it went to the same spot and froze again.

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
    good luck
