1st gen touch - if i restore to factory settings will it still remain on v 3.1.3? I seem to remember paying five ponds a few years ago to receive a software upgrade - will I lose it? (am wanting to sell it so need to erase stuff)
Yes. It will remain at 3.1.3

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

While syncing my iphone 4s, its saying unable to sync and restore to factory settings. But, My iphone 4s is factory unlocked. If I restore to factory settings will the iphone get locked to the carrier again.

It all depends on the definition of "factory unlocked". If the phone was purchased directly from Apple and the receipt says "Unlocked" then updating or restoring it will leave it unlocked (Apple never uses the term "factory unlocked" as there is no such thing; phones are unlocked at activation time). Similarly, if it had been locked to a carrier and the carrier authorized it to be unlocked, and you went through the unlocking steps they provided, it is permanently unlocked.
Unfortunately, a lot of the phones sold as "factory unlocked" were actually unlocked by hacking in the "factory" in the basement of some shop somewhere. These phones at best will become locked to the original carrier if restored, and in the worst case will be permanently disabled if restored. -
My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.
When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

If i restore to factory settings will I need to set up my phone access again
If I restore my iphone to factory settings will i need to set up phone access again with the carrier
No. Restoring your phone does not affect whether your service is active or not.

I have just purchased a new ipad3 but when setting up I thought I was restoring from my iPad2 but unfortunately I accidentally restored my husbands instead! If I restore factory settings will this affect my husbands iPad? Just wondered as when he set up his iPad he deleted all my contacts thanks
Busymum2902-
Go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. This should make the iPad act like a new one, and give you another chance to restore from your old iPad 2's backup.
There should be no affect on your husband's iPad if your iPad 2 had no affect on it.

Restore to factory settings: will I lose the apps ?
Hi!
If I need to restore to the factory settings, will I lose the apps I have purchased? I can reload music and pics, but don't want to pay again for the few apps I got.
If I can back up, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
AngelitaIf I need to restore to the factory settings, will I lose the apps I have purchased?
If they're only on the iPad, yes. Connect it to a computer and choose Transfer Purchases from the File menu in iTunes if needed first.
I can reload music and pics, but don't want to pay again for the few apps I got.
You don't need to pay for them again if you lose them as long as you're still able to log into the iTunes Store account used to purchase them.

Yes you will lose everything on your iPhone. You can, however, recover data from a backup done either with iCloud or iTunes. Do you have any backups?

Updated Ipad now in recovery mode - why? If I restore to factory settings will I loose all my apps
I updated my Ipad and it wont turn on - it's now in recovery mode - why is this? If I do reset it to factory settings will I loose all my apps?
Something went wrong with the update and your iPad can not boot.
Yes, doing the required restore wipes all data.
Restore from your backup. -
If i restore to factory settings will i loose all the data in my iTunes on the computer as well?
i was in the middle of doing the software upgrade when my internet cut out. the pone and itunes froze at the stage they were at. i have tried rebooting the iphone but it keeps telling me to conect to itunes and itunes is sayin i need to restore to factory. i backed it up before i started but will restoring it make me lose everything or should it be safe because of the backup? i dont know what to do
Hello!
If you 'backed up' and 'synced' all your data before starting you don't have to worry. You can go to Edit->Preferences->Devices in iTunes to see the backup you made.
After you have factory restored, you can read up http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 for help on how to restore from your backup, or search Google!
If you find your backup in iTunes, you're completely safe! -
caption says it all. we have tried everything. the screen goes out moments after being turned on. there is plenty of battery, it connects to itunes without problem, we have reset, we have restored to faculty settings, we have restored content, firmware has been upgraded.
Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

As above, or would it be better to do a 'reset' of all settings from within the settings of the ipad itself, separate from an itunes back up or sync?
This is the way that I would do it.
If you backed up the iPad to iTunes on your computer and there is content that you want to keep - you can restore from that backup - but wipe the iPad on the device itself.
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That will totally remove all content from the iPad and it can be set up as brand new again.
But bear in mind that any content that is on the iPad now - that your employer paid for or purchased with the company's Apple ID cannot be put on your new iPad without you continuing to use that Apple ID. So if you are going to use another Apple ID on the iPad, you will not be able to update those apps. If the content on the iPad was purchased with your ID and it belongs to you, then you are good to go. -
Finding iOS2 Apps for 1st Gen Touch
So I've just got a hand me down 1st gen touch and I restored it as the easiest way to personalise it to be mine. The backup did not work so I've lost all the apps that were on it other than the iOs apps. When I go into the App Store on it to find new apps there is no apparent way to just view iOS 2 compliant apps. I'm tearing my hair out just trying to find a solitaire app.
Any suggestions?
BTW just made the sticky Home button much better with the alcohol trick.There is no way to view apps by iOS version. And it's highly unlikely you'll find any that will work with iOS 2. I'd suggest you upgrade to iOS 3.1.3. See:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
You'll then at least have a chance of finding apps that you can run, though there are fewer and fewer as developers update to support the newer versions of iOS. Again you'll just have to look app by app. Looking in appshopper.com may make it easier.

Win7 Not Installing Drivers for 1st Gen Touch
Hello folks,
I've been trying to get my 1st Gen Touch up and running in the most recent version of iTunes, installed onto a dual-boot machine (32-bit Vista and Win7). In Vista, the Touch works perfectly. Flip over to Win7, and no dice. I can hear the chime sounding that a USB device has been plugged in and removed, but at no point does any drivers actually install, no info pop-up that new hardware detected, and no iPod listed in the USB devices of Device Manager.
I've tried following the directives of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 to no effect; everything looks to be in order. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. The only, and I mean only, sign of life I've seen out of Win7 is the one time I managed to fluke my way into Recovery Mode on the Touch, at which point it was recognized as a generic iPod in Win7. I just didn't think that a recovery wipe and reinstall would be a necessary step to a normal installation.
Further, I've also tried running the iTunes program in compatibility mode for Vista, and with Admin privileges for Win7 mode, to no effect. Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm overlooking? I know the hardware works; this has to be software...
Thanks!I got it working, though the steps I had to use were draconian in measure, and not what I would reasonably expect the average user to endure just to get their iPods working. Since the Touch was showing signs of life in Factory Restore mode, I let it do that once. Wiped all the data out of it, but errored on the reinstall. Curious, I thought. I had Device Manager up at the time, and saw a generic 'iPod' entry in Portable Devices.
Okay, fair enough... I restart the factory restore, wait for the generic 'iPod' entry. Right-click, Properties, 'Update Driver', search automatically. Suddenly, lo and behold, the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows up under USB Devices, and my Touch starts working as pretty as you please. I'm fortunate that I can go back into Vista to re-sync to get my music and apps back, but at least it's working now. Might I suggest seeing if there's a less Nuclear Option process for accomplishing the same goal?
