IPhone 4 previously sync'd with iTunes on friends pc. Now have my own laptop with iTunes, but my iPhone is not showing up. How can I change it to my new iTunes?

Currently sync'd on a friend's pc which I have no access to now.

You can't merge IDs, but if you want to change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the new ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
For iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge to upload your data.

My old computer has crashed and my itunes account went with it. The only place I have my unpurchased songs are in my iPhone. How can I transfer them to my new iTunes account?

Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed. How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone? Thank you.

Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed. How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone? Thanks in advance.

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

Changed my ID but the Iphone 4 continue with the old ID name and does not syncronize. How can I change it in my Iphone so I can continue to use all my data stored like contacts and notes?

Do you mean through iCloud? You need to go to settings > iCloud and "delete account" and then sign in with the newly named account. You'll want to do similar for facetime, messages, and store.

My iPhone is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?

My iPhone 4S (iOS8) is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?
My phone shows my name plus iCloud old iCloud account. My kids' new iPads show my name plus my new iCloud account. But both accounts show my children as "family" associated with them.
Basically, I need to change the iCloud account on my phone to my new one. But I'm not given that option.
Help and thanks.

Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.

HT1689 A few years ago, I used my husband's Apple ID for my iTunes account. I now have my own Apple devices and would like to change the ID on my iTunes account so I can load my music to my devices. How can I do that?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

I have a lot of apple purchases on my credit card statement. They're not mine but they could be my daughters. How can I see a list of my itune purchases to cross reference?

I have a lot of apple purchases on my credit card statement. They're not mine but they could be my daughters. How can I see a list of my itune purchases to cross reference?

Thanks. Sadly I always seem to have trouble following even the simplest and clearest directions.
I went to iTunes>Store. I swear 'view my account' doesn't exist, but i did see 'account'. The drop down menu only listed options to do with orders. No mention of purchases.
I then rang the local apple store and an 'Applette' guided me through the apple website so I could report my problem. Even then, we encountered a button that was invisible to me. It only showed itself in the 'mouse-over' state as my cursor changed into the pointing hand. Sheesh!! Such is my luck.
Anyway, the 'Applette' agreed that it was suspicious that I hadn't received an emailed invoice for any of the contentious purchases. I may well have been hacked. The problem has not been solved but it has been reported.
Thanks again.

You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
you press the
esc
button if your in full screen mode
if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.
