When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I connect the two so that my ipad messages will be sent to my phone if I'm not on it.
When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I do this without losing everything and so that my ipad messages will be sent to my iPhone!?!
Did you read the support article that I posted above? Your iPhone number is associated with your Apple ID, so this should be doable.... Unless your iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID. Then this will not work.
From the support article... You may have to sign out on the phone as well.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

how do i stop the icloud window from poping up everytime i start iTunes ? i do not have an icloud account and don't want one., how do i stop the icloud window from poping up everytime i start iTunes ? i do not have an icloud account and don't want one.
If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device.
Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase. If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them. You'll have to purchase them again. -

Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Only the former owner can remove the Find My Phone lock and erase the device. That can be done remotely. Without this the device is useless to you because it will be permanently locked. -
There is no "transfer purchases" button when I try to do this! My only option is to erase and sync... How do I transfer the music from my iphone without erasing it??
- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

Hi. My ex girlfriend used her apple id and icloud to register my iphone. and now i want to sell my phone to someone but i cant reset all the contents and password because i dont know my ex password. we dont have anymore communication right now. please help. thnx
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Unless you can get that info, you won't be able to restore the phone, to sell it, or re-activate it.
You need to somehow get back in touch with your girlfriend & obtain this info, or all you'll own is a paperweight. -
iPad sync to the iCloud account
You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion. -
After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. I later noticed that the pictures are still there on photo stream on my Facebook and google accounts. How do I transfer these pictures back to my iPad from any of these accounts?
I once had a sync problem that turned out to be that a specific photo was corrupted and impeded the process from continuing. Try to see if it gets stuck at a specific photo, then delete just that one.

Updated iphone and now it wants me to restore my phone...
I just updated my iphone's iOS and now iTunes is asking me to restore my phone...I will loose all of my data.
All my photos and memories...contacts...etc. What the??
Can someone help me resolve this?If your phone is displaying a screen that has a USB cable and the iTunes logo, your data is already gone. You can restore from a backup (if you ever made one to the PC) or from iCloud if you were using iCloud backup.

IPad 3 was ok charged it and now its dead. How do you reset the device?
My iPad is dead. Holding the home button doesn't start the device. It was ok about 4 hours ago and I then put it on charge. Now it appears dead. Is there a way to reset it?
Thanks in advance.Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I bought some music on my iphone and now i want to sync my music into my new macbook that i bought but i don't want to loss the music that i bought on itunes.
Hi there,
You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I had to restore my iPhone and now I cannot use my iTunes stored on the phone for an alarm or ringtone.
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
How do I change my iCloud account information on my iPhone? I had to change my Apple ID and my iCloud ID on my PC but, I wasn't able to change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
