So i just got a 3g, and im trying to download the aim app. But it keeps asking me for account information. I already set up my iphone with itunes and everything. What account info does it need?
 
Your Apple ID. 🙂

This would be the email address and password you entered when setting your phone up through iTunes or previously.
 
Were you logged into your itunes account when you synced the iPhone? Perhaps that could be a problem?
 
No.

Now i put my apple id in, and it says Authorization Failed. Please connect to itunes. But im plugged in.

If you're getting the ID and Password prompt on your iPhone, then I was going to tell you you have to plug it into iTunes (and you have to log into your iTunes Store account on iTunes while the iPhone is plugged in), but I guess you resolved your issue - hopefully this thread will help the next guy out!
