New iPhone 5, Infinite password loop on Apps.
I just recently got my iPhone 5 and I was trying to download some free apps onto it. Here is my problem. I did not have an Apple ID so I created a new one. What happened originally was if I went to the app store and tried to download an app, it would say since my ID has not purchased anything from iTunes I would have to "review" the TOS and agree to them. This page kept giving me an error saying I had to enable cookies, despite the fact I DID have cookies enabled. I got past this part by going to settings then iTunes & App store and putting in my apple ID and PW there which gave me the same message, this time the page did load and I got the whole TOS to agree to and it also asked me for my CC # saying charges would not be filed unless I make a purchase. When I went back to the apps page, it said extra security is needed or something (saying I could put 3 security questions) with the button "Not Now" or "Confirm." Clicking "Not Now" does nothing. Nothing happens on my phone when I press this. Pressing "Confirm" prompts me for my password. I put in my password and... the same box pops up again. I tried this multiple times and it just loops infinitely. Pressing Cancel will basically just quit it. I am NOT putting in the wrong password because I tried putting in random stuff for the PW and if the PW is wrong, it will give me a message that says I put it in wrong. I tried rebooting my phone but I still get the same problem.
I found out the problem but have not had the time to call support yet. It's on apple's side, where the problem lies. The thing is, if you create an Apple ID from the apple website, it only asks you to set ONE security question. If you use the "Create apple ID" on the iphone 5(in my case). It lets you put in THREE security questions. Because I had set up my apple ID through the apple website it did not have "3" security questions so it asks me to do this on my iphone. The problem is the page never loads because IT DOESN'T EXIST which is how you get into the infinite loop with the password.

Apps designed for iOS do not run on OS X....
But... media files should still run if that's that you mean.

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!
File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

A friend of my daughter's used my mac computer when she got her new iphone to help set it up. Now that I have a new iphone, her apps and all the app store information is stuck on my phone. Her app account keeps showing up when I try to install something new, and I obviously do not have her password. How do I get this off my phone??
Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set! -
If i don't use my backup with my new iphone do i loose all the apps i bought?
do i loose all the apps with my new iphone if i do noy=t restore the backup from an old one?
It it's a new iphone, you'd have to redownload all your apps from the itunes store (for free, assuming you use the same ID that was used when the apps were purchased). If you have a backup of the old iphone, then whatever it had will restore to the new one.

I lost my ipod touch and no longer have the computer with the itunes account that was attached to it. I bought a new iphone and would like to download all of my old apps and music that I had on my lost ipod touch. Any idea's??
Thge 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Many apps not require iOS 4.3 or later.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac you need OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1 -
i need help,
i have backed my iphone 4 to my new imac itunes,
i have transfered all contacts and photos but my apps wont go to my new iphone 5 , cant find the sync button??????In iTunes, when you select your phone, you should see a tab for Apps. Check the Sync Apps box on that page. If you don't have many apps, you can also download directly to your phone by opening the App Store, tap Updates, and then Purchased (at top of screen).

Try deleting the FB app and reinstalling it. That seems to have fixed the problem for me.

I have a new pc and 'new' iphone, how do I access bought apps/audio books?
Hi
My iphone and my pc both broke around the same time (unrelated incidents!). My iphone was sent away for repair and returned working but set to factory default no apps etc, I've now got a new pc too. How do I access the apps / audiobooks that I had downloaded before? Does this situation mean I've lost them as they weren't backed up anywhere? (Maybe I've learnt the hard way )
Any help appreciated!Click here and follow the instructions, or network the computers and move the songs over.
