I had to change the computer I have iTunes installed on, my iPhone is still looking for the old computer to sync over WiFi. How do I change the WiFi computer associated to my iPhone?
Hi Terri571,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Best,

I recently changed my iTunes identity (email address) and password using my iMac on System 10.10.2, but my iPhone and iPad still ask for the old one. How do I switch them over?

Getting a new computer and want to set up the old one for wireless.
I am getting a new G5 and have a few questions about wireless networking.
First off, I presently have a G4 Dual 400, wired to a Netgear wireless G router. My laptop (G4 Titanium) and my iPhone will not connect to wi-fi at the furthest location in my house. I can get 1 bar. If I move to the next room I can get some times 2 bars. The router is located on the third floor of our house. It is the only place the cable comes in for the internet. I cannot change it's location.
If I upgrade to the Air Port Extreme. (I have a 100 iPhone credit) can I expect a big improvement in coverage? I am not so concerned about speed.
Secondly, I am giving the G4 to the kids. It will be located in the farthest room from the Air Port Extreme as well.
I have looked at Sonet's PCI Card $100.00 and this, on Ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150164457261&ssPageName= STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005. Has anyone had any experience with either? Also seen on ebay is a USB antenna, a little deal, looks like a flash drive that plugs in.
Any thoughts appreciated.For future reference,
If you don't know, you usually have to be hard-wired (ethernet cable) to the router to change anything. Only for changes .
I doubt that you will get a better signal as the FCC standard is so many watts max. (unless you hack it, but who wants to sleep next to a microwave?)
BUT, you can use a repeater. You just plug it into an electical outlet say, on the second floor and it should be able to repeat the signal from there. I don't think the older Base Stations could do it so i'm not sure about the new ones. But you can get one from say, Lynksys, Netgear, Belkin, etc. and they are a bit cheaper too. I think their called Bridges.
I would definatly find out before you buy the Airport tho. AulfulI expensive door stop if it won't work. I think i remember someone using the Express" (?) for the same thing but it was for streaming music to the stereo, I don't think it is "G" rated tho so it would slow every thing down.
By the way Max bars, (nearest), you can play Quake, Unreal, etc, but under 1 bar, (farthest), you might be able to play chess.
Unless you have a USB-2 port your better off with a Firewire dongle. They didn't have USB-2 on the earlier Laptops. But the Firewire ones are hard to find. I plan on getting one for the wifes G3 Ibook.
What ever you get, remember, you want at LEAST what your DSL/Cable router is."G" router, "G" cards, bridges, etc. If anything make sure they are backwards compatible to A-B-G so if you get a "good deal" on a "whatever" and it's not as fast as the network because it's locked out then it's not a good deal if you can't use it. If you can afford it, go with the next higher rating as in "N" (or at least 5 minutes ago) but make sure it's backwards useable so when you upgrade to another 'puter etc, one less item to upgrade.... -

I have just bought a new pc with windows 7 my old computer cannot be started so I cannot deauthorise it etc, how do I now put my iphone 4 on my new computer, I don't care about the songs I have those on external hard drive, but I don't want to loose my contacts, calenders etc
Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

Need to know how to get my apple account to sync up with a new email on my phone and delete the old one in a step by step process??
After you change the account settings as I described below hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each purchased with her Apple ID. Press the HOME button when done. Then go to the App Store and buy or download the apps you want.

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

How do I get a replacement disc of adobe creative suite 6 student teacher edition, as the old one is scratched, to re-install on my mac?
If you purchased the software from Adobe directly, Contact Customer Care - they can tell you if there is a chance to get a replacement disk. But most likely they will tell you to download the software.

Airport working with my desktop, but cannot get my Iphone to recognize base station
Airport express, brand new, seems to be working with my desktop, just fine, and playing Itunes thru airport. However, cannot get my Iphone 5 to recognize base station. Seems to periodically work, but not consistently. Is there any setting change on the iphone that will help?
Hi myedscape,
Happy Holidays! If your iPhone 5 is not consistently connecting to your new Airport Express, try these troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

My old computer died, long live the computer! Thought I'd be slick and sync my iphone with all 2000+ songs to my new computer. Loaded up iTunes, no problem, downloaded all the songs I've purchased, but when it came to syncing, it said the phone was looking for my old computer. How do I get the phone to recognize the new computer?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
