What is wrong with your old iCloud account?

HT4623 after an update my iPhone 4 has frozen with just the apple screen visible. I have tried connecting to iTunes but now iTunes isn't locating my iPhone. I have tried reseting the phone several times and that isn't working. Any ideas?

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Accidentaly set up my iphone as new, instead of back up...

Hi All,
I accidentally set up my new Iphone5s as a new phone, instead of setting it up as a back up from my Icloud.
How do I reset my phone from my cloud without losing any information from the cloud account?
Thanks,
Reuben

You basically start over with your new iPhone by using Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will return your iPhone to new phone status and you can run through the Setup procedure again but, this time, restoring from your iCloud backup rather than as a new phone.

If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to it will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new itunes?

If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to that computer will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new Itunes?

Do not create a new iTunes account... accounts cannot be merged.
Install iTunes on the new computer.
Syncing of iDevices does not import content to a computer, the sync is one way from computer to iDevice.
Moving iTunes Library: Mac
Moving iTunes Library: Windows
Moving iTunes Library: External Hard drive

What exactly will I be missing if I set up my iPhone as new?

....as opposed to restoring from a backup?
Explanation: about 3 iPhones & 2 years ago I jailbroke my iPhone and installed stuff, changed stuff, etc. Since then I have always restored my backups, never set it up as new. There are 2 issues which have propagated all backups since then (I assume these were caused by something I did while jailbroken) - it fails to ring about 50% of the time when someone calls (i.e. as if it's on Silent), and I can't save or bookmark in Maps (or clear the old saves that are in there)

HT201412 iphone 4s apps will not reinstall on phone, stuck in waiting mode; new apps will only download if synced to itunes on PC

A few weeks ago about 7 of my apps had updates. I pressed update all and instead of it updating them, they were frozen for several days in "waiting" mode. Finally I was tired of this so I deleted the apps by pressing one and it activated the x to pop up on each app so I could delete. I deleted all the ones that were stuck in waiting, which was all the ones I was trying to recently update. I then went back to app store and redownloaded 1 of those that I had just deleted and it downloaded just fine. Tried that with others and and I got the same message before "waiting" and nothing. I've tried with all the previous apps and nothing new. I cannot at this point even download a new app from my app store on my phone. I can only upload new apps if I have downloaded them into itunes on my pc and then sync my phone to the itunes on the computer.
Today I came into itunes and under apps saw that many of them still needed to update. I clicked update all and they supposedly updated. Connected iphone to pc and tried to sync. It updated the working apps I still have and none of the old ones. I have tried to redownload my old apps via itunes on my computer but there isn't an option anymore, just says "downloaded."
Anything else I can do? I've tried shutting off, restarting, etc. and nothing has worked. I really don't want to have to reset to factory settings as I'm afraid I won't back up right and I'll loose all my pictures of my kids and other info.
Any help is appreciate! I use Verizon fyi and have had the phone about 10 mos with no problem till last month.

I have the exact same problem for the past 2 hours, and now I figure out how to solve it.
Go to iTunes then go to downloads, you will see something is stucked there which is not downloading, delete it, you don't have to delete all of them, only the one is not downloading.
The problem of my iPhone 4S iOS 5.01 came from iTunes U, just right after I started downloading some video clips or podcasts from iTunes U. I could not find any video clips in there, after 2 hours, I found the problem, it was in iTunes, downloads is happening in iTunes, not in iTunes U.
You don't need to restore your iPhone any more.

HT4623 How can I set up iTunes on a new computer without losing my phone data?

I have an iPhone I've used for years, but my computer died and I have to stat over on a new PC with a fresh iTunes... how can I make sure the new installation does not wipe out my phone?

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
If you have copied everything from the old computer to the new one, then sync al of the info to the iphone.

How do I copy a playlist to iPhone 5s from my new Macbook without resetting my phone?

I bought a new MacBook and cannot copy the entire music library since my iPhone is 32GB only. So I created a playlist to be able to copy it to my phone. But I get a message that my phone will be erased which I don't want to do. Is there a solution for this? I checked the internet and the posted solutions are very complicated and I'm not tech savvy so I don't want to do something that will create a bigger problem
Please help!
Thanks

Hi cairomania,
You can move just a portion of your music library to your iPhone by following the instructions in this article -
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

If I have an iPhone 4S new, will I get iWork apps for free?

I have an iPhone 4S 16 gb that I bought on amazon recently, is new. I'd like to know if I will get iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band, Pages, Numbers and Keynote for free if I open it and update to iOS 7.

If the apps were available for no charge, you could find them at the App Store on the iPhone you just bought.
But the way you're describing your purchase, I think it is very unlikely they would be free. Check and see.

My iphone 4s doen't have reset button in setting general., My iphone 4s doen't have reset button in setting general., My iphone 4s doen't have reset button in setting general.

I wanted to remove some files i stored on hoe screen so I went to reset the home screen in settling> general there I found reset button is missing.
Then I found even if I am holding icons on my home sceen and moving they are not giggling. Dont know what is the problem. Please help me I am new to iphone.

What Kind of files are you trying to remove? apps? if they are not giggling you can remove those when you are on Itunes. Unless you are trying to remove Iphone apps such as "stocks", "video" or the ones that cae with your iphone
