My iPhone 5s won't let me set up my fingerprint for touch id as it is not enabling the iphone unlock / itunes

plz help me

Hello umair221,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have a fingerprint setup with Touch ID but it is not unlocking the iPhone or is able to be used for iTunes purchases.
Those are settings that can individually be enabled or disabled.
(Note you won't have Apple Pay on an iPhone 5s.)
For further troubleshooting, please see the article that came from:
Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Get help with Touch ID
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
Try enrolling a different finger.
If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
Take care,
Nubz

  • IPad won't let me set up Microsoft Exchange for Gmail

    My new iPad 3 won't let me set up a Microsoft Exchange acct for Gmail.  In Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account / Microsoft Exchange I add all of the info, hit next and nothing happens - it just takes me back to the same screen with Next grayed out.  I followed the same steps on my iPod Touch and had no problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit the settings app and restart the iPad - then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If the email account is appearing on the iPad - delete it and then try adding it back on.

    Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)

  • Itunes for Windows 7 64 bit does not recognise the iPhone 3G

    I have just installed windows 7 x64bit on my pc. I have downloaded the itunes for windows 7 x64 and it seems to have installed correctly. I have reset my iphone (as my old one packed up with the home button, so Apple replaced it as it was still within the warrenty)and now when I connect the newly formated iphone to itunes, I get the following error,"this phone cannot be used as the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64 bit version of itunes"???? i am assuming that the itunes download 'iTunes64Setup.exe' is the correct installer package for the 64bit version of windows7?
    does anyone have any ideas of this, I am really missing my iphone.

    now nothing happens when I connect the iPod by USB - it's not even charging.
    Do you have a laptop, Nin?
    If so, the following document might be of some assistance with that:

    (That issue seems to match your recognition and charging symptoms.)

  • IPhone 4s won't let me turn on the Wi-Fi

    iPhone 4S won't let me turn on Wi-Fi

    Most likely your iPhone WiFi is faulty and no simple fix is possible. Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If still problem, restore iPhone with iTunes on computer to see if you can get the WiFi working. If still problem after the Restore, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Iphone 5s won't let me delete a song, and its a christmas song that I don't want on my phone.

    I don't understand why the Iphone 5S won't let me delete artist, instead I have to delete each song. Does apple know how annoying that is? Espcially when every frickin song  Glee has ever reease goes on my new phone. I already hate this phone and i just got it yesterday. I'm done with Apple, they need to get there **** together.

    You purchased it originally, and so it remains. I have two albums which I now don't want. I called about it before I got my 5s and was told there was no way, because it was a purchase I made. When I got my 5s I was hoping I could get rid of them, but you can't. They don't want people's music to disappear and then want it back. It is frustrating, but they feel they are helping people.

    Hey idontevenknowwhattodoaboutthis,
    It sounds like you may be having issues with a Wi-Fi connection. If you have determined that the issue is with your phone and not with the particular Wi-Fi hotspot you are using, then you will want to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this:

    And, if you use Touch ID, there is no option for a delay.
