My iphone won't let me restore it because it says that it is not up to date in i tunes.
My iphone won't let me do a full restore because it says that it is not up to date in itunes.
However, my phone says that it is up to date in the settings menu. Everytime I try to update it again...nothing happens or it says that there was a network failure. The problem seems to exist because I backed up my new iphone 5c with a backup from December 2012 on accident. I tried to back up my
previous iphone, but it didn't take for some reason. Now when I try to back it up to the new backup it says there is not enough room.
So 1. I can't restore it because it thinks it isn't up to date.
2. I can't back it up because it says there is not enough room.
Any help would be great!
Latest iTunes is 11.1.1 and was released specifically for the new 5s/5c phones, so you do have to have it if you are the owner of any of those.

my iPhone won't sync to my iTunes because it says my computer is not authorized. When i do authorize it, it claims to already be authorized. When i re-sync my phone it says it is unauthorized. Any help?
Hello katey1717
If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

Iphone won't let me take pictures because it says I have no storage, but I've deleted all my apps
I have the Iphone 4 (not the 4s) and never had any problems. I share an ICloud account with my parents and sister, and now my iphone is saying I have no storage. I deleted all my pictures and a majority of my apps and it still won't let me take any pictures, purchase any apps, or update my phone because I have no storage. I don't know what to do.
Turn off iCloud on the device. Does it work now?
If it does, then it will be necessary to either stop sharing the iCloud account or purchase additional storage for it.
If turning off iCloud does not work, try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore. -
iPhone won't accept second credit card with the same number, but different user.
Only one credit card can be on an iTunes account at any one time - presumably if they are shared credit cards with the same card number then it's the same credit card account with the one bill, so from a billing/payment point of view does it make any difference which card is on the account(s) ?

My itunes on my computer will not let me log in, because it says that the account has never been used. Help me.
Hello zahler4,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! This is a common alert message when your Apple ID has not yet been configured for use with the iTunes Store. To configure it, you should have the option to “Review” - at which time you can add a payment method to your account. For more information, check out this resource:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201762
When using the store for the first time, you must provide a payment method. After you configure the account you can change your payment information to None:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

I bought an iPhone and 2 iPod touch's now the 3rd from a stranger, but since it was registered on someone else's name I cannot register them, The iPhone got stolen and so did 2 of my iPod touch's I bought one from Wal-Mart and it is registered, Tried tracking it but who ever has it needs to connect to the internet on it to be able to be tracked. Now my iPhone 4 I bought off someone it was not connected or nothing but I DID purchase things on it and It wont track on iCloud, I Need to Track it It's registered but it wont show up on iCloud and My Ipod that I Have Now Can't Be Registered because its registered on someone else's account.
Registering the iPod has nothing to do with FindMyiPod/iPhone working. See the following for get the Find to work
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
Also, restoring the iPod means that you can no longer locate/contact the iPod via FindMyiPod.
Registering is not necessary and I would not worry about it. -
I had to wipe my phone clean because of storage issues. It kept saying I didn't have enough storage for pics or apps, but I only had about 75 pics and 1 extra app. So, I backed up my iPhone on icloud and itunes, then cleared off my iphone using the steps in the settings. Then, when I am going back to restore my iPhone using iTunes back up and iCloud backup, it fails in both locations. It says it failed to be completed.
What now?Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.

I just downloaded the new iOS 7.0.3 software and it told me to download iCloud. So I did and now I can't download or update my apps because it says I have the wrong billing address. I know I have the right billing address. How do I fix the problem?
You can authorise your account on the Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu at the top of iTunes e.g. :
If you still have your PC then you could also copy the content over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 -

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?
Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling
