    Can I change to a new iCloud Apple ID after iPhone set up? I set up my daughter's iphone on ios5, but apparently during set up, I allowed it to use my apple id as her icloud id. As others have stated, we want to share an apple id for itunes, but have separate apple ids for icloud purposes. Is...

    Stuck on "Restoring iPhone apps ..." PSA

    I was fortunate to be able to download iOS5 to my computer, move past the dreaded 3200 error code (after 2.5 hours and at least 15 tries to update my iPhone), but then I got the message "Restoring iPhone apps" on my iTunes screen for about 40 minutes. Just as I was typing this message to ask...

    Can anyone recommend an instant messaging app that has the ability to passcode protect the content on that app? I understand that I could lock my full phone with a passcode, but what I'm seeking is something that will allow me to just lock the IM chat. Also, I need it to work accross platform...

    Text Message overage

    This is what I do, and it works quite well. I've downgraded to just a 200 texts at $5/month plan because I use Google Voice to text and IM (Meebo and Yahoo Messenger) for ongoing chats.

    Yikes, I don't like iCloud, not one bit....

    I must agree. I had the same concerns in respect of photo sync. If I take a picture of something on my phone that I might be planning to buy my child as a surprise, it's automatically downloaded to her iPhone because we share an account. Also, to the person who asked why one would share an...

    iOS 5 Photo Management Advice Please

    I understand that in iOS 5, we'll be able to move photos into folders directly from our devices (without syncing to a computer, as is presently required). However, I have two questions. 1. Will we also be able to rearrange the order of photos within a folder? 2. Will we be able to choose...

    Texts for Google Voice App go to iPhone Messages Too!

    Ah, figured it out. It's necessary to log into Google Voice online, go to Settings, then Phones (not Voicemail & Texts), choose the iPhone mobile number, click Edit, then uncheck the box for "Receive text messages on this phone". Problem solved. No more duplicate text message delivery.

This error continues to appear in iTunes even though I upgraded the phone from iOS 4.01 to 4.1. I still get the same error msg for the same...
