Does anyone know if I restore my Ipod back to factory settings, will I be able to resync everything that I have saved on my computer?

I synced my Ipod to my parents computer and now about half the apps I had don't show up on the Ipod. They are on the computer, but I can't see them on my Ipod. There are also pages showing on the computer than are not on the Ipod. It's confusing. Anyway, I want to restore it to factory settings since there are several issues I seem to be having. If I restore it to factory settings, will I be able to sync it to my computer at home and be able to retrieve everything I have purchased and downloaded over the years since it's all saved on my home computer.

Yes. Yu have to just ensure that the iPod is signed into the iTunes account(s) that purchased the apps and other stuff and you have iTunes et up to sync the stuff to the iPod. You will loose however, any app data you have.
BTW, you can always redownload app at no addition cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

HT4528 I have accidentally restored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contacts, photos, and apps. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this to get my contacts and photos back?

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.

I have forgotten my password. Does anyone know how to unlock my ipod??

Do as the manual says and restore the ipod.
If you are unable to restore then read this:

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?, Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?

Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?

Not a 4G. Thats something I have never seen before. But then again, the thinner 4G wouldn't be able to sit still in the case of a bulky 2nd or 3rd gen. So if it isn't sliding and its in original packaging, I would trust it. No one would go through the trouble to spend money to make a mold to stick a knockoff in a case. I say its fine. How is it running?

Does anyone know how to restore coloured Folders instead of stupid tags?
In Maverick I seem to have lost visability of every folder I had .. please help

They were coloured labels not coloured folders. And they are not part of the Mavericks OSX. You can reinstall the backup of your previous system if you require them
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
or perhaps buy a third party app such as Pathfinder

while cleaning my iPhoto archive
What do you mean by that? Do you mean you deleted photos or albums from your iPhoto Library?
You best solution is to use Time Machine to restore your library from just before you "cleaned your iPhoto archive".

The only way is to restore from a backup that has the message you want. If you do this you will lose anything since that backup.

3GS battery exploded. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know if I took it to an apple store if they'd be able to get my photos off it? Or are they long gone?

The iPod's battery may be shot, especially after going without use for a couple of months. And yes, you can bring it to your local Apple store to have them take a look at it. They'll be able to determine what your options are.

I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone. They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone. Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back? Thanks!

I updated via my iPhone 4s. The apps were on my iPhone 4s. That's all the information that I have. The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc. But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts. No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc. They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone. Thanks.

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.
