I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks
Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

I have a new hanset as my previous one ws damaged and everything was lost. When backing up which option should I use "set up as a new iphone or, restore from this , back up Jo's iphone"..
Thanks.You may do whatever you like.
If you want to set it up using the backup of your old iphone then choose that.
If you do not then choose as new. -
I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?
Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

Will I lose all my purchased apps if I create a new Apple id. Thanks Colin.

You will not lose the apps but you will not be able to update them without using the old ID. If you got a new email address, you can simply change your Apple ID. There is no need to create a new one.

I just got a replaced iphone and I checked back up on icloud, entered apple id and password. Now it says no backups available. You can set up as a new iphone or restore from an iTunes back up. What should I pick because I had checked back up with icloud and all of my info was supposed to be backed up?
You may need to update the software. For now, set up as a new iPhone and then go to Settings > General > Software Update. Update to the latest iOS (5.1.1), then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to go through setup again and see if your backup appears.

I got the new ipad several weeks ago, and since i had the ipad 2 before it, i transfered the data from it to my computer and gave the ipad 2 (techinally new since it had nothing on it) to a family member. Now, when I go to itunes on my computer with the new ipad, it says that the computer has already been synced with another device, and my only two options are to set the ipad up as a new one or to restore from a backup (my up-to-date backup for the new ipad does not come up on itune's list of backups that went to my computer). So now because of this, there is no way i can put anything from my computer to the ipad, or even look at it through Itunes on the computer! Is there any other option for me?! I need help now!!
I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
Plug your phone into iTunes
Click setup as a new device
Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
Plug your phone back in
Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device. -

How do I connect my iPad to iTunes on my laptop (not done so before) without losing apps, settings & data. Option 1 is the only one that I can do as there is no backup, but option 1) sounds like it will wipe everything and set iPad up as factory-fresh device?
I need to connect to upgrade to ios8 as there is insufficient memory on the iPad to download the update files.
Thanks
StephenIt will wipe everything from your device. You can transfer any iTunes store purchases (music, apps, etc.) using the instructions in the article below. However, you need to make sure that you import your photos before doing the "Set up as New":

I don't have any back up and can't lose some of this music because it was a gift from an ex-boyfriend and I don't want to lose the great music. Please help me! Thank you!!
You can deauthorise all 5 at once, then reauthorize the one you want.
Learn how to authorize or deauthorize your computer with your Apple ID.

You need to log into iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorise. Otherwise, contact contact iTunes Store support to see if they can help.
