I synced my iPhone to my parents computer to set up and now i can sync to my computer

I bought my wife the Iphone 4 for Christmas and set it up on her parents computer now that we are home it wont pick it up on my itunes account because we started on their computer.  How can we make this her home computer so it will update.  We can only get 1/2 of her contacts to pull up from her old phone.  We only have one Itunes account which is mine but it shows her device on my itune store.  Is this a problem or is there a way that we need to make her an account so it shows her music

Hello skkmmayer,
That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

  • I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
    I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • I purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

    I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Have been using iPhone 5 without sim for 6 months, restore, and now I can't complete restore, this error:

    "There is no sim card in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
    Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone."
    There is a lock symbol above right, but, can’t do anything with that.
    I am not trying to activate the phone, just doing a restore . The phone was unlocked by AT&T 6 months ago, after contract was up.
    This is strange, I’ve been using this iPhone (5) for 6 months without a SIM, first time I’ve tried to do a restore, and it won’t let me, thinks I want to activate it? I just want to continue to use it as an iPod touch. What do I do? I have the old sim card, but, I don’t want to put it in and attempt to activate it, it is an AT&T sim and I left them behind 6 months ago. I could try the T-Mobile SIM in my iPhone 6, unless it is again smaller than the iPhone 5 sim?
    I should be able to restore this phone without the sim and continue to use it as an iPod touch, why is this a hassle??? I'm a long time Apple user, prefer their products, but, sometimes Apple is extremely frustrating! Aarg!
    Anyone know what to do?

    ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
    Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
    I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off.

  • I have an iPhone 4 I done the update is06.1 and now I can't send picture messages

    If anyone has any information regarding this please write back

    Well, maybe you mean update iOS 6.0.1. What user troubleshooting have you done. They are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Are you trying to send via iMessage, or MMS?

  • HT201269 Best Buy started the setup assistant on my new iPhone 5 and now I can't make it sync with iTunes.  How can I reset and start over?

    I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process.  Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account.  I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud.  I backed up to my computer.  And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
    Help.

    I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
    I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account.  The Restore kept my phone number intact.
    I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly.
