Where exactly did you get this message? Are you trying to set up iCloud, iTunes & App Stores, just an email account?

I was told I can set up my phone service through iTunes, but I can't seem to figure out where to go at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to set up my iphone 5s and it has been on the apple screen for hours with no improvement

I'm trying to set up my iphone 5s and it has been on the apple screen for hours with no improvement
I don't know how to restart it...I've tried everything and it won't move away from this screen. It's been plugged into my computer for a while now, and still does nothing.

You need to connect to the compuer via the lighting cable that came with it. IF that failes follow this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Question about trying to set up my iphone 4s

I just got my iphone 4s and I have a question about setting it up.
I don't want to screw things up, especially in terms of the ios 5 setup.
I'm not sure if the 4s comes with ios5 pre-installed.
I had an iphone 3g that was stolen a few months ago, so the last time I used itunes to synch the phone it was a 3g and whatever ios it was able to use, which wasn't even the latest ios 4, if I recall correctly.
So, when I first turn on the 4s and connect it to itunes, will I be able to simply load up my contacts, photos and music without itunes messing it up because it's a 4s rather than a 3g?
Can I treat it as a completely new phone in tunes and yet still be able to load up the contacts, photos and music that are backed up there, or would I need to re-do these things from scratch?
The contacts are minimal, so it's not a big problem to do that, and I only had a few photos and small music playlists, so these aren't a problem either.
But I don't want itunes to mess me up if I just connect the 4s to it, but if it doesn't have ios 5 loaded, then I do want to upgrade to that.
Thanks for any quick advice.

What do you mean by "stuck?" You mean you don't have access to a WiFi network?

HT201303 I am trying to set up my iphone with my itunes on my computer. Any help?

How do I join my two itunes accounts?

It's not currently possible to merge or combine accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it

Trying to set up new iPhone to back up from iCloud...HELP Please!

The phone is brand new out of the box. When I try to log in to my iCloud it keeps saying "invalid device while updating mme delegate account". I have succesfully logged into my iCloud account from my Mac. Why would I get this warning!? Thank you!

Not sure why, but when I continued to try, it finally allowed me past that screen. Now, the "Choose backup" circle is just spinning. Proabably 5 minutes now. Any idea if it usually takes this long to find the backups available!?

Ask the seller or call Apple Care and give them the serial number. They may be able to tell you.

How do you stop a frozen loading bar when first setting up your iPhone 5c

Tried to set up new iPhone 5c and restore from previous icloud settings. Phone is stuck on loading bar and if you do a hard restart won't fix it

What's a "transformer on your phone"? Unless your iPhone is jailbroken and/or you loaned it to someone, it's highly unlikely that your iPhone got hacked.

I cannot set up my iphone

I'm trying to set up my Iphone to just work, but every time i try to do it I get this messege...Your Iphone coould not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. please help...

Probably because it was hacked or jailbroken. If that's the case, you can't get help here.
Where EXACTLY did you get the phone?

I am trying to set up a iphone on an icloud account. I do not want it linked to a a second phone that is all ready on an account

If you don't want to share the other iCloud account, just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID. (Note, you can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes & App stores; it does not need to to be the same as the ID used for iCloud and other services.)

Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone. The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On. This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.
