Urgent!! "This iphone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect..
I have two laptops and 1 iphone:
Home - Macbook Pro
Work - Windows 7 netbook
iPhone - First hand, bought from my own service provider, never drop on the ground or goes into water
I only sync my iPhone 4 with my mac before. 3 days ago I updated iPhone firmware to 4.3, updated iTunes 10.2.1 in my mac, and installed iTunes 10.2.1 on my work laptop as well. I tried to connect my iPhone to my work laptop to see if everything works well. And I also back up and sync my phone before and after the iPhone firmware was updated. Everything seems fine.
2 days ago, I was playing games on my iPhone. My phone was suddenly being laggy. I rebooted my phone and then I tried to sync my iPhone with my mac as usual. However, a message pops up saying "This phone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect this iPhone." every time when I connect my iPhone to my mac. So I pressed ok, but the phone kinda automatically ejects by itself from my mac iTunes. (i.e. iTunes no longer connects to my iPhone. iTunes doesnt even show the iPhone page and I cannot even restore my phone.)
Yesterday I tried to restore my phone with my mac and my work laptop by putting it into DFU mode.
1. After I restored the phone with my mac, I restored the back up with my work laptop after. After the phone was activated through windows iTunes, I connect the phone back to my mac and the same message pops up again saying "This phone is already activated. You may disconnect disconnect this iPhone."
2. After I restored the phone with my mac, I simply set it as a new iPhone. After the phone was activated through mac iTunes, the same message pops up again.
3. I restored iPhone with my work laptop. The phone stays connected with windows iTunes. After the phone was restored and set as a new iPhone, the phone was activated but no such message pops out. I can sync my iPhone like normal. No more automatic disconnection.
I tried to remove mac iTunes 10.2.1 and downgrade it to 10.2, but the same problem occurs every time when I connect my phone to my mac.
Since my work laptop is a netbook, the capacity is pretty small. I dont think my work laptop can always keep the 9GB back up of my phone, but the face is that I cannot lose all the stuffs in my phone. The best would be my phone being able to sync with my mac again.
... Could someone help with this problem? Or is there any like technical support? Is there anyone who have the same problem as well?
Try this:
For Mac OS X users:
Make sure iTunes isn’t running and then open Terminal.
In Terminal, enter a command:
To turn activation-only mode on: defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1
To turn activation-only mode off: defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode
For Windows users:
Make sure iTunes isn’t running, and then open a Command Prompt window.
Enter a command:
To turn activation-only mode on: "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt StoreActivationMode 1
To turn activation-only mode off: "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt StoreActivationMode 0

(Mavericks) iTunes keeps crashing on sync "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday. When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is. It keeps referring to them as %1$S
Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks? Any resolution?Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks. After updating all is fine.
Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever. Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue. -
Itunes on my PC displays an error message " This iphone cant be synced , you dont have enough privilege" everytime I start syncing thiss message shows up and everything stops. So , what to do now? even wifi sync isnt working and not able to sync files onto my iPhone.

I've been trying to upgrade to iOS5 for the past half day. I keep getting:
"An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-50). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
I think I have been on every forum the Internet has. This means:
-Yes, I have tried restarting my computer
-Yes, I have tried using a different USB port
-Yes, I have tried doing the whole DFU mode thing
-Yes, I have tried freeing up some drive space from both computer & iPhone
-Yes, I have tried removing MobileSync folder from AppData
-Yes, I have tried Airplane mode and Bluetooth Off
-and Yes, I think I have waited long enough....!
Please help.. I'm hopeless. lol.. and no i dont want to lose all content on my iphone
Message was edited by: yazanfromnashvilleThis is the correct steps to solve this problem:
1. Cancel the update (with the backing up error, of course)
2. Do a manual backup
3. Do a manual restore (your password to unlock your backup file is your AppleID password, not your IPhone keypad password)
4. Now Update your phone. This time the backup should work.
5. After it is updated, it will automatically restore, if you choose to restore not to set up a new phone.
And yes, copy all your photos manually. Your backup probabally won't include photos.
If this still doesn't work, try to stop your anti-virus software. -
I don't understand this error. I have gotten it at least seven different times while trying to update to iOS 5.0. Can anyone help me? It asks if I want to continue, but says that if I do all data will be lost.
An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-402653081). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?I solved my issue.
She had a ton of photos & videos on her phone. I manually moved those off to the phone and on to the computer.
I went into iTunes preferences/devices and deleted all but one backup of her phone (kept the latest one just incase). Then I did my own backup by right-clicking the phone in iTunes, on the left side.
Then I selected the update, let it fail and proceeded to update it knowing it was going to erase ALL data. Once it was done restoring, and updating to i0S5, I restored from backup successfully.
Everything was there, Aps, Contacts etc.
Hope this helps someone. -

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
If you have this persons email address, try sending them an email and asking them to remove their ID as described above. -
Any idea what I should do as I would like to update my iPhone but do not want to lose all my content on my iPhone.
Using iPhone 4.
Thank you.
Appreciated much for any advice given.The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.

TS4062 This iPhone cannot be synched.You do not have enough access privledges for this operation.
I have installed the latest version of iTunes on a new computer and want to sync my phone on it. I receive this message when trying to sync. I have tried unchecking sync photos but still no luck. Thanks
Try creating a folder in a different location (outside of the Pictures library such as on your desktop), copying the pictures you want to sync to this folder, then syncing this folder to your phone by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTune sync settings. If you still get this error try disabling your anti-virus software and syncing. If still having problems try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder, usually located in your Pictures library.

Help me how can i put/activate my icloud account
If you are getting that message you will not be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone because the maximum number of accounts has alread been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

I am hoping for some advice on an error message I keep getting-see above. Thanks!

When someone calls me, he can't hear me but I can hear him. i cannot record a voice memo as well.
I already did some resets. I bought this iPhone 4s this year. C3*******TDF is my phone's serial number. What shall I do?
Please help. I am from Manila, Philippines.
Thank you
<Edited by Host>You need to either bring your phone into an Apple Store (make an appointment at the "Genius Bar"), or phone Apple Support and have the ownership transferred to you. You will need to have the phone's serial number, and your Apple ID (just the ID, not password) handy if you call them.
If your sister purchased AppleCare with the phone, they should be able to transfer it to you as well, if there is any time left on it (there should be, since it's an iPhone 4.)
Also, you may need to have your sister go with you and provide the original receipt, or a copy of the invoice that should have been emailed to her email address that was tied to her Applie ID at the time of the original purchase, to prove that you're not just some person that "found" the phone on the side of the street.
The serial number will not change. It is permanently tied to the phone, and will never change. No amount of restoring the phone will change the serial number.
