My main home computer is down at the same time i purchased my 5. Cannot get it to sync off laptop and update my apple ID

Bought the 5. Started getting texts to other family member phones. Was told to change my ID.  I did.  Doesn't register on my phone. Went to sync to update that. Home computer died. I really want my new Apple ID to sync to my phone.

Hey Dug1970,
It sounds like you were told to create a new Apple ID due to receiving other family members iMessages. The following articles provide the most relevant informatio to your issue:

  • My ipod 4th gen just randomly shut off when I was on twitter today. I tried to reset it by pushing the home and lock button down at the same time but it still wouldn't work even after 40 seconds. And it was about 3/4 charged help please!!!!

    The apple icon only shows up for less then a second and I even plugged it in.. Please help me... PLEASAE!!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
    Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back.

  • I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

    I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

    If you want a relevant answer you may have to elaborate on what you actually mean. Posting screenshots might help, too.
    In any case multiple conversions of an image are not advisable in general.

  • Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data.  We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar.  How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

    You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

    Good day Sidharth Namrta,
    It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Check your phone settings:
    Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
    Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
    See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update. 
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
    If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
    Reset the network settings: Tap  Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try to make or receive calls in another location.
    Attempt to isolate to one network band:
    If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
    If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
    Contact the carrier to check the following:
    Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
    There are no localized service outages.
    Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
    Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
    Restore the phone as new.
    If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • My iphone 5 will not turn on ... i have held both buttons down at the same time and I get nothing ...it is fully charged ....any other suggestions?

    My iphone 5 will not turn on ....I have held both buttons down at the same for a long time and get nothing ...it is fully charged ....and other suggestions?

    The screen on my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) went dark after unplugging it from the PC.  I could still could see a backlight on the screen, but unresponsive.  iOS was hung in this state.
    I opted to try a reset holding power and home button, which succeeded in turning off the phone.
    After that, the screen went completely off.  Power button didn't appear to turn on the phone.
    Upon plugging back to iTunes, I discovered, even as the screen was pitch black, the phone was actually able to power on, or off if I repeated the reset....I could hear the USB connection chime on the PC every time I powered on or reset.  The iOS was in some sort of corrupted state with no screen output.
    I couldn't restore to factory settings, as iTunes requires I disable "Find My Phone" on the phone itself, which I couldn't do without screen output.  Also tried to put the phone in "Recovery Mode"...didn't work either.
    I finally succeeded by:
    Logging in via web browser to iCloud, locating the phone with the "Find My Phone" web app, and triggering [Erase].  iCloud reported the phone was successfully erased.
    After a minute, the phone rebooted itself and screen output worked again.
    I then restored my data and settings from my last backup using iTunes without further issues.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Can you have 2 apple tvs working with one computer - both active at the same time?

    Can 2 Apple TVs - Generation 3 - work off the same computer?
    I can't seem to get the 2nd Apple TV to find the network yet I have full signal and the Network name is correct.
    Can they work at the same time using different content?

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Macbook slows down at the same time every day.

    I know this makes me sound crazy, but my Macbook (running Mac OS X) starts to get inexplicably sluggish at the same time every day – roughly between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Applications start temporarily freezing up and I get that beachball-looking thing, and I have to force quit applications because they won't quit normally. I have McAffee virus protection through my school and a full scan reveals nothing. I also have the latest security updates.
    The applications I run on a given day are pretty typical: Chrome, Acrobat, Dropbox, Twitter desktop and Word. I never download any unauthorized software or shady files. No idea what it could be, but it is not just in my head. Any educated guesses?

    Is the McAffee anti virus set to scan automaticaly around 4:30 -5:00?
    .....you might want to open Activity Monitor and check what apps are running and check their CPU usage.......sounds like something is running in the background.....

  • How open many versions of same main VI of a library at the same time?

    I have many versions of a library and want to compare the different versions of e.g. the main VI. If I open one version and try to open another version the former version disappears...

    Right now, you can only have a single VI of the same name open at one time. You'll have to open one, rename it, and then open a second. Then, if you have the professional version of LabVIEW, you can use the Compare VIs tool to get the differences.

  • I have "reminders on my iPad and iPhone and they sync thru iCloud can I get the same app for my desktop so all (3) devices will sync off of iCloud

    I have "reminders" on my iPad & iPhone that sync thru iCloud. Can I get an "reminder" app for my iMac that will allow me to sync all (3) devices thru iCloud ?

    Captfred,
    The process you noted above worked to show the reminders on the IMAC,
    However maybe you can help me with this problem.
    The reminders I set in the Iphone4s/Ipad2 don't clear off the list on the IMAC even with deselecting show all completed reminders.
    Thus on the Iphone4s/ipad2 the list is short and direct, but on the IMAC it is over 100 items any sugestions as to why the reminder is hown with the check mark but does not clear from the screen.
    Thanks for any help on this from anyone
