IPhone - Upgrade to Software Version 5.0 - Apple ID Must be an email address

I was prompted to upgrade my iPhone to version 5.0 this morning and did. After some time, a message said that my phone had been restored to factory settings. The next message said that it would restore from a recent back up. It did. The message now says "Restore Completed" but there's a Continue button that asks for some information, including my Apple ID.
My Apple ID is not an email address. It is requiring me sign in with an Apple ID that is an email address. If I put in an email address...will all my purchases from the iTunes store be associated with that Apple ID? How can they be when they are associated with another account? Will I lose access to them? Will I have 2 Apple IDs?
Help.
Thanks.

No. You cannot, at present, merge Apple ID's.
Will I lose access to them?
No.
Will I have 2 Apple IDs?
Yes.

  • HT4623 I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone that asks me to enter my Apple ID password for an email address that I no longer use.  How do I get rid of it?

    If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it.  Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID.  If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

    Probably a setting. Look at the manual.

  • My computer crashed and I need to reset up my phone.  Iphone 3 running software Version 4.2.1

    My computer crashed and I need to reset up my phone.  I do not have a backup.  Iphone 3 running software Version 4.2.1
    After researching this, I understand that I will need to reload iTunes on a new computer, deactivate the prior computer and authorize the new computer with iTunes. I can then restore any apps and music purchased through iTunes. (Insert Question 1 Here.) Then Sync the phone with the new account, taking care to do it manually so as not to overwrite the information on the phone.  This should restore the apps and music to my phone. (Insert Question 2 Here.) This process will not restore photos (Insert Question 3 Here.) I would like to over write my current phone calendar (start fresh remove all appointments) and have it sync with a different iTunes.  (Insert Question 4 Here) .
    Am I forgetting anything or misunderstanding anything?   Thank You!
    Question 1:  Apple help states that you can download previous purchases directly to phone with iOS4.3.3.  Then later states that iOS 5 or later is required for iPhone (CDMA Model).  ON this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519  I am still running Version 4.2.1 on my iPhone 3. Will this cause difficulty with restoring apps and music (purchased through iTunes) to my phone? 
    Question 2:  What happens to data stored in the apps within the phone?  Like password information stored in Splash ID, Files Stored in Air Sharing, or photos stored in a separate app (not the standard photo library)?
    Question 3:  Will the photos in my iPhone standard library be deleted when I sync?  Does anyone know of a way to save them other than emailing them to the computer, prior to syncing?
    Question 4:  Is it possible to have my calendar and contacts sync at my office computer and have the other items sync to my personal home computer?  How does that affect my restore process? I want to ensure the contacts are NOT deleted, but I want the calendar to be overwritten and start fresh.

    The software update process does not touch any user data or settings. Fact is, merely updating your software should not have deleted your contacts. Something else is going on here. First of all, the only signed firmware available for your phone is iOS 4.3. So, how were you able to update to iOS 4.2.1, since that is no longer available from Apple? First thing done when you update software is an iPhone backup. Included in that backup are your contacts. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC, right-click your phone in the left device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select the backup made when you started to update your phone. Note: this will also install iOS 4.3 on your phone.

    Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and download iOS 4.2.1 for the iPhone 3G. Perform a restore, but hold down ALT when clicking restore. Restore from this file you just downloaded. You should not get 1015 as you are upgrading, but if you get a different error, report back.

  • I have an IPhone 4 with software version 4.3.5 (8L1) installed on it. On my windows XP computer I updated I Tunes to 10.4.0.80 and since then my I Tunes quits while synchronizing with my IPhone. before i updated I Tunes everythings was running well.

    When you watch the progress bar trying to sync, can you see at what step the sync is stopped?
    If it does not get beyond step one (backup) delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and try again after that. To be on the safe side, copy the backup folder to a safe place before you start. It is located here:

  • Updating iPhone 4 To Software Version 5.0.1 Problem

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to software version 5.0.1, and now some of my Apps, like iTunes and the App Store, are partially french.
    I've already checked the general settings on my phone and the language is still set to "English", so I don't get why some Apple Apps are set to "French".
    How do I fix this?

    I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5,  I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software.  Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established".  This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
    Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
    Will I be able to update the software?

    look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
    makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

    That Error message is indicative of a Hardware issue. The Device may need Service. Take it in for evaluation.

  • Will there be any data deleted if i upgrade my software version?

    will there be any data deleted if i upgrade my software version?

    what are you updating?  But the short answer is no.  whether an iOS device or a Mac you should't "lose" anything.  the only problems you might run into are compatibility issues with software not being able to run on newer system software....ie.  upgrading to OSX LION means no more PPC apps anymore.

    Why does iphone 4 say software version 7.1.2 is up to date when 8.1.3 is available?

    Because iOS 8 and above isn't compatible with it.

  • Upgrading wlc4402 software version

    hi
    i want to upgrade the software version of my wlc4402-50-k9 but i don know how to go about it,cam anyone help with a step by step approach

    Hi Moakofi,
    This should get you started;
    You can upgrade the Cisco WLC with either one of these methods:
    GUI
    Command-line interface (CLI)
    When a controller is upgraded, the code on its associated access points is also automatically upgraded. When an access point loads code, each of its lights blinks in succession.
    Note: Do not power down the controller or any access point during this process. Otherwise, you might corrupt the software image.
    The upgrade of a controller with a large number of access points can take as long as 30 minutes. The access points must remain powered, and the controller must not be reset during this time.
    Cisco recommends this sequence when you perform an upgrade:
    Upload your controller configuration files to a server to back them up.
    Turn off the controller 802.11a and 802.11b networks.
    Upgrade your controller.
    Re-enable your 802.11a and 802.11b networks.
    This document provides the steps to follow in order to upgrade the WLC with each of these methods.
    Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software Upgrade
    From this good doc;

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
