Setting up as new issue

It's a long story but in short, i had iphone 5 this iphone had loads of issues and ended up replaced only to sell the replacement days afterwards. Anyway i got the iphone 5S and it was perfect till the day i decided to sync it on itunes, when suddenly without asking me it synced the moment i plugged it the old data of the iphone not apps not music just data basically it synced almost "2gb of others" and the settings configuration and device name changed to the old iphone 5. anyway i fully format my laptop, put the iphone to dfu mode itunes can't read it first it needs to read it while it's turned on for some reason, i turn on iphone 5s it syncs with itunes so i got to itunes preferences and delete the backup and make sure no backups are there, i put iphone 5s in dfu mode and restore it, what happens is so weird that after the restore ends if i choose get started, the phone doesnt even ask me to "set up as new" if plugged in on itunes and automatically goes back to the old iphone settings again... if i make full restore and directly take off my iphone from itunes it would be as new as factory but than again if i need to use itunes it will screw up. i dont get it what do i need to do?
I need to fix this issue because i get around 8 hours of usage time in same exact usage without having these corrupted data, while it seems i get weird usage times after i sync the itunes (a charge last me 5 hours, while a charge last me 7 hours) random figues god knows what it is. clearly software but for some reason can't be solved at all..

yes, but that is considered as a full restore? and either way when i need to sync my music (plug it later on to sync) it would again start with backing up etc, resulting in changing the phone settings of old iphone 5..

IPhone 3GS 32gb - iOS4.0.1 - iTunes 9.2.1.4 - Sync issues / Set up as new

Hello.
I've had issues with my iPhone ever since I upgraded from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS 4 (and subsequently iOS4.0.1), to be more precise, my issues are with syncing my phone.
When I upgraded to iOS4, I had an error and had to restore my iPhone while upgrading.
Ever since that happened, every other day when I connect my iPhone to my iTunes, it is not properly recognized and I get the option to set up as new or restore from backup.
90% of the time, restoring from a backup doesn't work and whether or not it works, afterwards iTunes forgot which apps/music/photos/videos/etc I wanted to sync, which means every time it happens, not only do I lose all SMS messages and App data, I also have to reselect the apps, videos and music I want to sync from scratch.
It gets annoying now and I've tried several of the common solutions.
- Uninstall/reinstall of iTunes, making sure I have the most common version.
- chosing another USB port
- reset all iPhone settings
- reset all iPhone settings and wiping the phone content.
I also cleaned up my App-library in which I noticed I had several duplicate apps ( for example: ExampleApp and ExampleApp.1.0.1 ).
Nothing works and I'm getting frustrated over it. I don't lose my contacts because of the Outlook sync I have, nor mails because they are an imap account, but having a password-keeping app like 1Password which loses its data every other day is rather annoying.
Is there anything else I can try?
Does anyone else experience such issues?
I cannot make Genius-appointments, as there is no Applestore anywhere near where I live in Germany. I could of course try and contact my phone-company but I am guessing they will direct me at the manufacturer.

I had the problem where I got an unknown error when upgading from 3.1.3 to 4.0.1 last night. It put my phone into recovery & said that I had to restore it. Tried to twice but I still kept getting the unknown error message. Wasn't until I restarted my computer that it let me restore.
All of my music, videos, contacts, etc are fine. But I found that none of my apps were restored to the phone. So I had to go back through & manually drag each one back onto the iPhone in iTunes and then re-sync it. But now none of the apps will load or open. I have tried switching the phone off & back on a number of times but it hasn't helped.
Next I am going to try to restore again & see if that helps. From what I understand, the apps should have also been restored from the previous backup. Am not sure what happened in my case though

Setting Up a New User Account - iTunes issue

My wife and I were both using our Mac as a single user, but logging into iTunes under separate iTunes accounts to download our own music and apps.
This week I set up a new User Account in her name, and transferred all music and apps to her User Account so she would be able to access and sync on her own account, just by fast switching, rather than logging into iTunes each visit.
When she plugs her phone into the iMac to sync via iTunes, she gets the following message:
*iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone " " because another sync client is already running*.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

I recently had this same error message problem with my 3GS. Here's everything I did, one of the steps solved the problem...
1. Restarted with the phone unattached.
2. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
3. Restarted the phone. Here's where I had some difficulty: After swiping to confirm the shutdown, the screen went black, and I had the spinning icon that wouldn't go away. I ended up having to hold the lock and home buttons down to force shutdown the phone. I powered it back up, and it took forever to start, but it eventually did. I then power-cycled it one more time, and everything was back to normal.
4. Started up iTunes. Go into the preferences, and under the "Devices" tab, I found my previous backup. I deleted it.
5. Plugged in the phone, and everything was normal. iTunes made a new backup, so the sync took awhile, but it was successful.
Good luck!

Setting up a New Site and Having Issues with Flash SWF's

Hello. I just set up a new site definition, with a testiing server using MAMP Pro, and everything seems to be functioning properly, except that my swf's are not showing up when you publish to a browser from dreamweaver, instead you get the place holder message to upgrade to the newest version of flashplayer... besides the fact that my computers flash player is up to date. At this point in time my two other websites swf components work just fine when I publish out of dreamweaver.
I'd also like to mention that the Live View works perfectly and is displayinig the swf's as they should be.
Thanks!

I copied the associated scripts over to the site folder on the testing server and I'm getting the same results. I'm sure this is something that is really simple.

How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

Hello
Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
My dilemma:
I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address - I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
So what have I tried?:
I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
Concerns:
I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
So:
... I need a knight (or maiden) in shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
Thanking you kindly in advance!
PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right - we shall begin:
First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
So...
1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input) go for the free iCloud option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
4) So - much better option....
i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
Enjoy.

IPhone 5 skips the wifi set up when setting up from new

My iPhone 5 skips setting up WiFi when setting up from new. I restored my iPhone because since I have owned it WiFi has not worked so I decided to do a restore to get it to go through the setup process but it skips it. Does this mean that the WiFi chip is faulty?

Hi there wairau,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
It sound like you have already tried all of these steps, so you may need to contact Apple for support and service options.

Whenever I try to sync my 3gs to my laptop itunes only gives me two options: set up as new iphone or restore to a backup. I already mistakenly restored the phone to a previous back up and the options are still the same. I am using itunes 10.4.1.10.

Back in March my PC crashed while updating my Iphone 3Gs. Both froze and were rendered unusable. The Iphone had to be restored to factory settings in order to be used. The PC required more work and was delayed by warranty issues. In the meantime I bought a laptop and installed the newest version of Itunes. Itunes recognizes my phone but only comes up as "Set up your Iphone" with two subsequent options: set up as new iphone or restore from back up. I have mistakenly chosen the option to restore it back to July 2, 2011 when I last synced. No big deal, but it will not let me go beyond that screen and I cannot transfer my recovered apps or anything else. Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID. Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account? It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts. If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

i'm a new user on iPhone. My sister gave me her old iPhone that she bought in UK, she she it here in the Philippines and i'm having problems because i can't use it. i already restored it to set it up new but i couldn't still activate it. It says, " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." and "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
what should i do for me to be able to use it?
please help!
Thank you very much!

It is locked to your sisters carrier.
She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

Our family has multiple apple ids and we are setting up a new apple tv. Does it matter which apple id we use if we have home sharing enabled?

I have an apple id from my mobile me account; I also have the apple id from my itunes account (with which I purchase content for my powerbook); and my husband has an apple id for itunes which he purchases content for his itunes library on his PC.
Does it matter which apple id we use to set up our new apple tv?
what issues are caused by my multiple apple ids?

You cannot merge apple ids, but you can sign out of the apple id and sign in under the other one either on your phone or your mac. On your phone, go to settings, itunes and appstore, tap your apple id, tap sign out, then go back to home screen, then back into itunes an appstore and sign in with the apple id you want to use.

How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter's MacBook, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account? (We currently share the same Apple ID and iTunes account). Hope someone can help... Thanks

Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID. Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.

I have 2 devices, and I inadvertently set up a new account on one. Now I can't download books that are on my Nook to my Android G3 and vice versa. I can't remember the login for the nook. How can I change it?

I inadvertently set up a new account on an android and it doesn't match the ID for a Nook. I cannot share library books between the devices, and I can't remember the login I used for the nook. The nook books appear on my bookshelf from the library, but when I try to download to my android, it won't allow it as it is set up as a different account. The library can't help me and Barnes & Noble can't help me. I need support from Adobe to fix my login.

Hi ruffdog64,
If you are having issues changing the signed in Apple ID on your iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:
