Itunes sync issue cant get past find my iphone page. has been months alr.

When ever i connect my iphone to my computer, it would bring up itunes but as soon as the iphone page loads this appears:

Set up Find My iPhone
Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) enables you to locate your iPad with Wi-Fi or iPod touch only when it is on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries.
there does not seem to be a way to get past this page and the links are broken too.i have been having this problem for a few months already and when i tried calling apple, they did not know what to do either. i'm hoping someone would have the answer and the solution to this problem.
Thx

I had the same problem last night... I solved it but really just got around it.
background
- Existing setup was itunes 9.x with an IPOD worked great for many years
- bought a new iphone 4 monday
- connected to windows 7 64bit dekstop and got the setup text in itunes for "find my iphone" with two options (jave script links) that were dead links did nothing - you are stuck here
- tried my other laptop (also already loaded with itunes 9.x same result
- tried upgrading itunes to 10.2.1 same results
- wiped the iphone same results
- removed itunes - used reg cleaner to scrub all references and loaded 10.2.1 itunes fresh from a download (rebooting laptop a lot) Same results
How i got around it after 5 hours of trial and error
- I got my laptop that never had itunes installed ever - loaded itunes 10.2.1 and then attached the iphone 4 to sync - it installed a new driver for the iphone and the iphone was successfully connected to itunes. I synced to this itunes without any issues. although there was nothing to sync from this machine.
- I then took the laptop back to the machine that I had not removed itunes (just upgraded itunes) and it was able to connect to itunes and sync without any issues. I had to be make sure it was defined to this laptops copy of itunes but it works now without issue.
I can only conclude that the driver or older version of itunes had set the device in a strange state in regards to syncing and establishing connectivity for a sync with itunes and defining it to a new machine with a new install of itunes and having the driver for iphone 4 freshly installed cleared that state it was in.
More work should be done by the apple engineers to determine technically what the root casuse is but I was able to get around the issue.

  • HT201365 I CANT GET THE FIND MY IPHONE APP TO WORK

    Just downloaded IOS7.  I am not part of iCloud.  On IOS6 I was able to use Find My iPhone.  On IOS7 it won't work.  I have gone into "Settings" "iCloud" and the Find My iPhone Icon is 'greyed out', as in it won't let me use it.  I REALLY do not want to join iCloud at this time.  How do I get back what I had, so that I can use the "Find My iPhone" feature?  Surely there has to be a way, as there was in IOS6.

    much like insurgence then you need to enable my iphone before it's lost it can't be don afterwards

  • Can you get information from an iPhone that has been remote wiped?

    Hello,
    My girlfriend thought her iPhone was stolen today, so she did a remote wipe so no one could steal her information off her phone.  It ended up that she had just left her iPhone someplace and was able to get it back. 
    Now that she's got the phone back, she's trying to restore it, but it looks like the iPhone was set to back up to iCloud, but never did because of an error (she had no idea she was getting), and it seems that since it was set up to back up to iCloud, the last iTunes backup was from before she got her iPhone 4s (so it's 5 months old).
    Is there anyway to pull information off of an iPhone after it's been remote wiped?  I have a program for pulling information off of digital camera memory cards that have been formatted.  Is there something like this for iPhones?
    Thanks,

    Sorry, no. Her data is gone, as designed.

  • IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

    While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
    Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
    Thanks!
    Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
    ...but still need help with music. thanks

    It's inside the iPhoto Library package.  Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
    Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • Cant get past the install options page

    When I initially access the setup screen I get "Adobe acrobat 3d cannot be installed without adobe framemaker, robohelp or captivate because at least one of these products is required for activation of adobe tech comm. Suite and adobe acrobat 3d cant be activated without activating the suite". I then get through the Welcome to installer page and Liscense agrrement. In the Installation Options page I have an X for top level adobe TCS and 4 Xs for the next four products. Only acrobat 3d does not have an X. When I try to click Next I get "Please select at least one product to continue. Does not let me select one." but it does not let me pick one. I already had framemaker 8 and a trial of robohelp installed, should I uninstall them? The TCS was an upgrade product so that is why I kept the older programs. Any help you may provide is greatly appreciated.

    Billy,
    You must completely uninstall the other products completely before
    installing the TC Stuite.

    Hi sarahlovebell21,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, that means its in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored.
    You can find more information and steps to restore your iPhone here:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538     -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
    The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
    Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
    Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
    If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

  • HT5312 I have a new iphone 5c, my apple account is set to an email i no longer use, i cant get past my own security questions, how do i get everything back in order without losing all my stuff?

    i have a new iphone 5c and i cant get past the security questions. i made my apple account a while ago with an old email. i created a new apple id with my new email but i dont use it. How do i terminate the account with my new email so i can replace my old email? If i reset my security questions will it delete all my stuff?

    You can't delete an iTunes account, but you should be able to change the email address that is on it e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com - you should then be able to put it on your old account.
    For your security questions on your old account, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on that account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address or don't have access to that email account (you won't be able to add one or change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add or update your rescue email address for potential future use
    Resetting an account's security questions shouldn't affect any of the purchases that you've made on the account.
