New iphone 5s has random iTunes IDs on app updates

I got a new iphone 5s couple weeks ago (replacing 4s). Everything transferred fine but certain apps ask for random (non family members, unknown IDs) apple IDs to update them. This is happening with apps such as google maps, lose it, waze. There are at least 2 different unknown Apple IDs popping up and I am unable to update these apps. Have tried signing out and signing back in. Really annoying. Anyone have this happen with unknown IDs? Anyone know how to fix it?

Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
There is no way around that.
If you actually purchased the content with your Apple ID, delete the entry in the iTunes library on the computer, then download it again from your purchase history.
If you did not actually purchase the content, either deal with it as is or purchase it with your ID.

Brand new iphone 4 has no space, but no apps, pics, or music either.

Today I had to purchase a replacement iphone 4. I sync'd the old phone a few days back so I know what I had was updated. When I sync'd the new one, after about 10 mins it told me that there was not sufficient space on the phone for the sync. I was able to get my contacts, calendars, and email from icloud. Since nothing came onto my phone from the sync, I tried to download facebook from the app store only to be told there is no space. Under settings, it says I have 6.4GB used, 0 bytes available. There is no music, no apps, no videos, and no pictures on the phone. Where is all the space dedicated to???? Please help, I am stuck home with pneumonia and really trying to avoid having to make a run to the Apple store this weekend :/

If your replacement is the same size, just do a restore from backup again. Sounds like the first restore got corrupted.

My iphone 4s has no itunes and a new "hard of hearing" blue screen SIRI after the 6.1.3 download. Where did it go? How do i get it back? And how can i switch back to the old gray SIRI?

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.
Cheers,

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

HT1338 got the new iphone 5 which needs itunes 10.7. i have searched for soft    software updates and am informed that it is all up to date! This is not a fact as I am currently on osx 10.5.8. How do I get my imac to acknowledge that there are updates ava

I have got he new iphone 5 which requres itunes 7. My imac informs me that all updtes are up to date but this is not so! my itunes is not and I am currently on osx 10.5.8. why will it not update as usual?

Updates are free, what you need is an Upgrade...
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

I had backed up all my info on iCloud on my new iPhone. I am setting up the new phone- I checked back up by iCloud- Now it says no back up available. You can set up as a new iPhone or restore from iTunes back up-What should I do?

I just got a replaced iphone and I checked back up on icloud, entered apple id and password. Now it says no backups available. You can set up as a new iphone or restore from an iTunes back up. What should I pick because I had checked back up with icloud and all of my info was supposed to be backed up?

You may need to update the software. For now, set up as a new iPhone and then go to Settings > General > Software Update. Update to the latest iOS (5.1.1), then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to go through setup again and see if your backup appears.

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

I just purchased a new iphone 4s and opened itune store and purchased a ringtone. Today I tried to open itune store again and it won't run the app.
I pushed the itune store icon and it opens and promptly closes. I tried multiple times. How can I fix this?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2. Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

None. An iPhone 5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to be synced from a Mac, which is above the maximum for a PowerBook G4(10.5.8.)

Trying to sync new iPhone 6 plus with Itunes on PC

Good. I hope it's going well!
If not, you should know you need a recent copy of iTunes on your computer.
You should also check out the iPhone Manual:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.1
Otherwise, if you are looking for help, it would be good if you told us exactly what your issues are. What do you see? What happens (or does not happen)?

My iPhone 3G has a itune and USB logo on screen,does anyone know how can i reset.

My iPhone 3G has a iTunes and USB logo stuck on screen,how do i reset iPhone .

That is its way of telling you to connect it to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically).
