I had to restore my iPhone to factory settings and now I can't sync with iTunes.
I had to restore my phone and I was able to use the most recent backup. However, when I plug into iTunes, it keeps asking if I want to restore from a backup or start as a new iPhone. I have already restored from the backup twice, but the message won't go away. How can I sync with iTunes?
I used the solution posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7838243#7838243
It's weird that you have to restore from backup, and then choose to start as a new phone. But I didn't lose ANYTHING when I did it that way! Thank goodness!

Yesterday I had to make a trip to the local Apple store as my iPad needed to be restored to factory settings. I came home trying to set up my iMessages and FaceTime but I can't reconnect it with my icloud email as I send a verification email each time and it never arrives. What should I do?
Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases. -
I had purchased music on my computer and iphone and I had to restore my computer to factory settings and I smashed my iphone. Can I get my music back?
If you are in the U.S. or Canada and install iTunes 10.3, you can re download your iTunes purchases to your computer.

I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.
I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one I have on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
Thanks for the help thought much appreciated. -

I have tried updating to the latest iTunes, but I am currently running Mac OSx 10.5.8, so I can´t go that route. Any suggestions?
I followed the thread and used the link provided to download iTunes version 10.6.3 (again). The same error message keeps coming up, telling me that I do not have it installed. I tried restarting the computer following the install, but it still won´t acknowledge that 10.6.3 is installed. Any other solutions?

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.
MimiIt means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I have had to restore my ipad to factory settings, having made a backup on my pc first. When Ihave tried to restore from my pc I have no apps!! Please can anyone help me get them back with all their data. I don't have wifi at home and I have never been able to sync my pc with my ipad, although it works with my iphone! I copied all of the apps before I restored using itunes, but no idea where they are copied to. Any help would be hugely appreciated to get my daughters games back. Thank you in advance )
Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible? -

I've restored my desktop to factory settings and now it's stuck in a restarting loop. Help?
I restored my HP desktop to factory settings and it seemed like it worked, but it asked if I wanted to restart the computer so I clicked yes. Now it cycles through the restarting process and won't stop. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, and a bunch of other things and nothing is working. What do I do?

Hello amandandye, Can you advise how you restored your system? Did you use the HP Recovery Restore Disk set or the F-11 method at the bootup of the system.
If you used the HP Recovery Restore Disk set, did you remove the last disk from the optical drive?

You cannot activate the iPhone without the AppleID and passcode used
to originally activate it. This is a security feature in iOS 7 called Activation
Lock. There is no workaround.

My iphone will not activate,it keepos sending me a message telling me the servers are down and I tried everything.somebody please help
Either your antivirus/firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com, your iphone is jailbroken, or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak this or some other iOS device. The first you can fix by disabling your security software. The 2nd you can't do anything about, and the 3rd you fix by editing your hosts file and removing the lines containing gs.apple.com.
