Why can't I back-up my apps before upgrade after I've authorized the computer?

I'm trying to update my dad's phone and it would not let me transfer his apps to this computer even after I have authorized the computer several times. ( its the third computer out of five. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. There are 26 apps and I dont want to lose them all, I would like them to be backed up before I upgrade to ios 5.

Is it because I'm using a new computer from the one I originally synced my old 3G with?
Ya think?

Can I get back an email I was composing after losing power and the computer shut down?

While composing a long, complicated email, the warning came on that I was about to lose battery power. By the time I plugged my computer in to the electrical outlet, it had already shut down. I powered it up and checked my email drafts folder, but the email was not there. Is there any way I can get it back?

Hi,
Thanks. Doesn't a Mac save your draft automatically from time to time while you're typing it? On my PC I could click on "Save" occasionally and save what I was working on until that point, but on my Mac Book Pro I've never figured out how to do that. My Mac seemed to do it automatically. For example, if for some reason I stopped working on an email but came back to it later, it was in my Drafts folder. However, this time my Mac shut down while I was composing my email and now I can't find it. It's nowhere to be found?!

AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own. When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on. No more stops.

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

We have cell data plan.
I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off. But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off. I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off? I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

And the processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

As RG says, if you're in the US, you haven't allowed for the sales taxes charged by your city and state. You'll need to buy something less expensive, add a credit card, or redeem an additional iTunes card.

Why can't i install a free app?

Why can't I install a free app? I click on free and then it tells me that I need to verify my payment option when the app is free. What am I doing wrong?

If you set up an Apple ID with credit card details then you need to enter valid credit card information and then when you download a free app it does what you are experiencing. You will not be charged. Sometimes when you update credit card information in you Apple ID, Apple raises a $1 charge to check to see if the card works and then cancels the charge. IF you want to set up an ID without a ccredit card then you do so like this
