I had iOS4.3 before i restored it now i have got ios 4.2.1 which i never had before? how do i get it back to my normal one? 4.
I decided to restore my iPod touch 3G as i thought it might refresh it to get the iOS 5 as i really want it. Before i restored it i had iOs 4.3 which i have always had on my iPod. After restoring my iPod it went back to its factory conditions and i got iOS 4.2.1 which i have never had before? how can i get it back to my normal one or how can i get iOS 5 as on the apple website nothing is telling me to how to download it? can i please get some feed back so i know what to do.
Also the touchscreen isnt intime as quick as it used to be after I restored it, This is quite annoying whist im playing a game on my iPod. Thanks:)

Are you sure you really have a 3G iPod? A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1. When you restore an iPOd wyou will get the latest iOS.
You need iTunes 10.5.X for iOS 5.
If your iPod is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. To tell a 2G fom a 3G ypy need to know the model numbe engraved on the back see:

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?
I have an iPhone 5SYou restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone. -

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you need to get them from where you got them before. -

When I upgrade my system for iPad 2 and set iTunes account, I was told I had to restore settings, after this was completed i noticed apps that I had purchased were gone. How do I get them back?
You can download apps again for free from the app store via the purchased tab at the bottom of the screen in the app store app. You must use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.
Are the apps still in iTunes on your computer? If they are - sync them back onto the iPad. -
I recently had to get a new phone due to damage. But when I backed it up from the last back up which was a week ago, it didn't put any apps or songs that I purchased on my phone during the last week. How do I get those back?
Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

my computer had to be restored and i lost everything on my computer and i had to redownload everything including itunes and now the songs that were on my ipod arnt in my itunes library i need to know how i can get them back into my library or if i even can
Download Past Purchases

Log into iTunes using the account the Purchase was made with... Click on Buy... and a notice will come up saying you already have it... do you wish to download it again... Click Yes... -
I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easierHello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Basically I want the library from my old memory drive, which was authorized on my "first" computer. If I de-authorize both computers (even if it's really the same laptop, different hard drive) can I get library from both? How does this work? Help!
The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content. -
I would really like to download apps however this isn't possible as safari, app store and itunes are deleted from my homescreen? Where can I go about installing them to the phone again a.s.a.p??
Check Settings > General > Restrictions on Safari, iTunes, etc.

I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?
The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top. On the Summary tab, click Check for Update. You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish. -
I had to restore my phone and before I did it I bought a ringtone and now I do not have that ringtone. How do I get that back without having to repay for it?
Call iTunes support and see if they will re-grant it back to you. Shouldn't be a problem, they have done it for quite a few people I know.

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?
