REGISTER A NEW PHONE ON ITUNES?

My mom just got a new iPhone and wanted to sync it to iTunes. When she went to register it she set it up as a backup to my phone instead of as a new phone. Is there any way to fix this?

by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.

    You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

  • How do I get the music I bought back on my new phone from itunes?

    I recently just got a new phone because mine broke and I cant remember how to get my purchased music back on my phone

    You should be able to download your previously purchased music from your iTunes app on your phone.
    Be sure you are signed in to the AppleID with which you purchased your music.
    When you go on to your iTunes app, along the bottom bar, tap on "More."  Then tap "Purchased."  Then select the music you want to download.  It should download from there.
    This link should be very helpful.  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

  • I connected my iphone to itunes as a user instead of a new phone. How can I connect it as a new phone to itunes?

    I already went to settings and log out of the user account. I tried logging back in with my Apple ID but verification failed. What can I do at this point?

    Okay, it gave me a verification failure time out notice when I tried logging into the iCloud under settings. I then logged out of iCloud and iTunes on all devices and tried logging on but still the verification failure notice. I ended up having to restore my phone on iTunes. When it finally restored I was able to log in using my Apple ID. After that I was able to add the phone as new.

  • Sync new phone with iTunes

    Hi, I've just purchased a new iPhone 4 as I cracked the screen on the last one. I've backed up the old phone on iTunes, but when i connect the new phone and ask to restore from back up, iTunes only recognises my iPad and not my old iPhone, what am I doing wrong, any help would be appreciated

    Just got a reply to the question--I forgot that with the iphone you have to open itunes, click on your iphone device, go to the music tab and click on the music you want to sync to the iphone.  Kind of cool--that way if you have a big library you don't have to uncheck everything before syncing...
    So I can leave everything checked for my ipod classic and still only sync a relatively smaller number of songs to my iphone.
    Sheesh...what'll they think of next?
    BTW sorry for the needless censorship generated in my last post--who was to know that the word starts-with-s rhymes-with-trucks was so naughty?

  • IP4S Battery Drain Was 8% hour.  Restored As NEW PHONE Via iTunes Battery Drain Now 1% per hour!

    RE:  iPhone 4S rapid battery drain out-of-the-box.
    I had been experiencing a battery drain of 8% per hour.
    Apple's software update did not make it better!
    I then restored my iPhone 4S as a NEW phone and now my battery is draining at 1% per hour with all settings at maximum for battery drain.
    Apple could have done more to make millions of customers happier customers.

    Thanks for sharing.  Restoring the phone first from backup then as new is one of the standard troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide.  Too bad more people like you don't realize this.

  • New phone and itunes settings

    We have 2 iphones and a touch, each with different apps, playlists, etc. When I get the new iphone, how do I easily have my current settings saved so when I sync it, only the apps I want and my playlists will go onto the new phone?
    Thanks!

    Connect the new phone then select *Restore from backup*.

  • Register new phone to itunes

    keep geting itunes errors when trying to sign in

    It has always been very basic to alwasy make sure that everything is backed up before attempting an update.
    Did you fail to do this?
    What "data" do you want to retrieve?
    All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, expecially before any update.
    All contacts/calendars should eb synced to your computer regularly, expecially before an update.
    All itunes purchases should be transferred to your computer regularly, expecially before an update.

  • ? Brand New phone, same iTunes: How to transfer without losing apps/music

    In preparation for a new device, is it possible to transfer all your apps, music, bookmarks from iTunes to your new device without losing your apps/music, etc?  If so, how?  What are the steps involved?  For example, if you have an iPod Touch and want to "clone" the iPod Touch to your new device, say iPhone or another iPod Touch?
    Are there any limits in transferring paid apps to multiple devices? How does one do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Niel, I did this once before and so did others that I know. Guess what happened?  We lost all our data on iTunes. Fortunately, I kept a backup of my iTunes folders.
    I want to prevent this from happening again.  I believe there is a "special" sequence one must follow to ensure this does not happen or was this fixed in future versions of iTunes?.

  • Freestyle 750 ( registering a new phone )

    Hi there I have bought the Freestyle 750 pack of phones and I am trying to register another phone to the pack of three that I have already have so that I will have 4 pghones in total. I have read the User Guide manuals and for the Love Of God, it just does not want to happen. I have unregistered the phone to make it all Blank which I thought would be a good optio so that I was working ff a clean slate as to speak. But to Register theNew phone with the existing pack and by going off the User Guide - nothing happens, has anyone tried to do this or they know of a problem with this or there is something that ya need to do which the User Guide does not inform you to do.
    Regards in advance, a very frustrated young man.
    Cheers.
    Bob.

    Hi orenbob72
    I know you have been through the userguide I just want to double check that you have tried page 53 on the following link.
    If you have and still no joy all I could suggest is give the helpdesk a bell.  The number is on the help page.
    Cheers
