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.

Both the ipad and iphone are designed to be used with a computer. Neither is a stand alone device.
Both are intended to be synced to your computer.

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.

Cannot Register new 3GS on iTunes

Hello,
I just purchased a 3gs as a replacement for my original 2g. At&t activated the phone in-store and I am able to make and receive calls. However, when I brought the phone home to sync to iTunes 8.2, I can't go through the Registration process. When I connect the new 3gs, iTunes gives me the "Welcome to your new Iphone... Lets get started" screen, then I click continue. However, nothing else comes up after this. I am left with a blank iTunes window. I've left my phone like this for several hours and nothing ever comes up. I do notice that the center display window at the top of iTunes is always showing "Accessing iTunes Store..."
Here's what I've done so far (i'm using a Windows XP computer by the way):
I've reset my computer multiple times... no change.
I've reinstalled iTunes multiple times and also ensured I have the most recent version from Apple... no change.
Reconnected my old 2g phone to iTunes and verified that it will still sync and update to iTunes (although service has now been transfered to 3gs).
Removed my entire music library from iTunes to rule out a corrupt library that could be causing a syncing issue to the iTunes store... no change.
Disabled Genius in iTunes (I've read this can cause some peoples' iTunes to hang)... no change.
I'm officially out of ideas and need some help... anything is appreciated. Thank you!

Gudzy,
I had the exact same situation as you. Original iPhone owner... upgraded to 3Gs.... can't "register"
Actually, I still haven't managed to "register" my new iPhone, but it doesn't really matter! You can bypass that step. Instead of trying to "continue" just click on "Register Later" or "Never Register" or "Cancel"... I honestly forget exactly how the other button on that intro screen is labeled off-hand, but there is another button besides just "continue".
When you cancel out of that "registration" screen, it will move along and ask you whether you want to "setup as a new phone" or "restore from a backup".... hopefully you have a full, recent backup from your previous iPhone (if not, connect your original iPhone & do another backup first).
Anyhow.... just say "restore from backup" and select the backup of your old iPhone. It will completely restore your old iPhone's configuration & content onto your new iPhone.
I think I saw a quick flash on the screen at some point saying that it "could not activate iPhone..." but it didn't matter. My iPhone worked perfectly aftewards. Phone, messaging, internet/wi-fi, music, photos, videos, etc... All there! All working just fine!
Now, as for eventually registering my new iPhone for product support or service & the like.... I'm going to look into doing it manually on the Apple web site. There is most likely a place to register "manually" any new Apple product that you may have purchased. Probably just a matter of entering the serial # and a few other details. I'll let you know when I look into that. But I'm not in a hurry on that part.
Point is... it's easier to just skip that registration and move on with the business of getting your new phone fully up & running with all your content, etc....
If you still want to see what Apple has to say about it.... well, let the rest of us know what you find out... I'd be curious... but it didn't stop me from setting up & using my new iPhone 3Gs.

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*.

Wrong language registering new iPhone on iTunes. How do I get it back to English?

Registering my new iPhone 4 on iTunes on my Windows 7 computer.
Asked to input iPhone number (form already had home phone in iPhone place). I tried to input new iPhone number but it asked for 4 digit code. I ended up putting original home phone number back but it seems to have recognised my STD code as an international dialling code and changed reistration language to Spanish/Portuguese.
Am now stuck and can't go forwards or back until I get it back into English.

Thank you. I was having the same problem (registration was in English and then the Chinese screen appeared). Reseting the iPad solved this problem for me.
I unplugged the iPad from the computer and then held down the menu and wake button at the same time until the unit reset (the screen goes black and then the white apple logo reappears). I plugged the iPad back into the computer and the screen was in English.
If anyone is curious about the screen before I reset here is what it said:
免费的“查找我的 iPad”
免费设置“查找我的 iPad”，帮助您找到丢失的设备、远程锁定屏幕或擦除其中数据。您还可以找到 iPhone 或 iPod touch。了解详细信息
Here is what the translation appeared as:
Free "Find My iPad"
Free Settings "to find my iPad", to help you find the missing equipment, remote locking screen or erase the data. You can also find iPhone or iPod touch. More information

Apple id and registering new phone

Hi Please help! Just got a new iPhone 4s and I logged into the apple App Store and managed to install some apps on my usual account. For some reason it's now saying I can't purchase apps in this store (US) and to change to UK store. I've tried going online and HAVE changed the site to UK but the actual 'app' on my phone still shows the US store. I've tried changing it via iTunes too (which it does) but again, on the actual app I can't change it to UK. Also, how do I de-register my apple id on my old phone so that I can give it to someone else?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thank you. This helped with the App section of the Q.
If I want to give my old phone away, how do I de-register my Apple ID account from that?

? 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?.
