I just restored my iphone4 in iTunes ( after not syncing it for about three months) and it wiped all my texts and contacts and I think restored it to three months ago. It seems it erased all texts and recent contacts since three months. Any way of undoing this? thanks in advance, Greg

Only if you have a more recent backup with which to restore from - if you've only got the one from 3 months ago then you will be limited to what was on that.

I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

Hi Apple community ---
I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone. My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of my playlists, except for what's in my iPod. I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well.
I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic.
Thanks for your help!!!

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

HT201269 I made an update to my iPad and after the update it went to recovery mode. It wiped all of my apps off and now I can't add apps

I made an update to my iPad and after the update it went to recovery mode. It wiped all of my apps off and now I can't add apps

When I try to add apps it doesn't do anything. I have connected to the computer to iTunes and it isn't syncing any of my apps to the iPad. I am not sure what else to try? I have turned the iPad off and restarted and nothing changed. I tried to download something from iTunes on the iPad and it isn't letting me.

Is there any way to undo the "Use this Mailbox for" action besides the undo action

My Gmail account in Mac mail was confusing me so I set the Gmail folders to be used for certain things (i.e. Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash), but now I'd like to set it back. I can't use undo because it was a while ago. How should I go about doing this?

This is the action that I'm talking about. I set certain Gmail folders to be used for these 4 options. I would like to release those folders from their respective duties.

I was playing with the Group Tabs/Panorama function and accidentally closed all of my tabs. Then I closed the browser window. Is there any way to restore all my tabs?

I'm using Firefox 6.

I have the same issue and didn't even close my browser. I closed a tab group, and they're ''gone''. I've always used ''warn me when closing multiple tabs''; why didn't it prevent this?
I dutifully updated to 6.0.1 (Win7 Pro 64bit SP1) today, and saw "''Tabs, meet groups''." I played briefly with a group and then clicked (x).
While exploring the UI, I had assumed I was manipulating a filter rather than the actual tabs. No reason to suspect this would close an entire window's worth. The "restore tab group" button suggested I'd merely ungrouped the tabs. No biggie; new feature playtime is over for now. The background blur was still present, so again no worry that my six or eight tabs were about to be annihilated.
The recently closed window list includes three pages from yesterday. Naturally the recently closed tabs ''from the other window'' aren't here.
My full history is sorted by visit date; why isn't each tab added to today's list after a restart? Now I'll search the entire history to ensure I'm not forgetting one. Tab groups are likely quite nifty, but for now I'm irritated with 'em.
'''Why didn't "''warn me when closing multiple tabs''" kick in''' to alert me?!
SUGGESTION:
'''''Warning:''' The 'tabs group' feature does not care if you've checked "warn me on closing multiple tabs." If you click the (x), you're hosed.''

I am trying to sync videos to my iPhone4S, but itunes is not Syncing them

I selected some of my videos to sync...some are short...some are full length movies. When I select them, I can see the capacity space increase for Videos, but when I click on SYNC, all the videos in the Capacity disappear and nothing syncs....

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497 - incompatible format for devices.

My new ipad 2 freezes after using the internet for about 15 minutes. It is properly connected to the network and works fine after I re-start it but it is very annoying to have to re-start it every so often. All other laptops on the internet work fine.

My ipad 2 freezes when using the internet. Re-starting the ipad fixes the problem but it is very annoying to have to do this. I have tried all of the trouble shooting suggestions including re-joining the network. All other laptops work fine on my network. I think there is something wrong with my new ipad.

I recommend two things before taking your iPad back to the Apple Store.
1. Fully close safari, by going to your home screen, then double tapping your home button to bring up your most recently used Apps. Using your finger, hold it on any of the used Apps until they jiggle. At this point, you'll see a to the top left of each App. Touch the sign on Safari, which will fully close it.
Then.......
2. Reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (hold past the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data.
If that does not help, then make an appointment at the Apple store to have your iPad checked.

Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
Thanks!

Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it. Thanks!

As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.

HT201210 Just replaced the battery in my iPhone 4S. Before doing so I backed-up then wiped the phone. Now when I go to restore it, it gets about 3/4 done and that is when I get an error message, "Code 1." does this mean I fried it?? :-(

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

HT1414 My iPhone4 (iOS 6) does not sync with iTunes. The message displayed suggests to return the iPhone to factory settings (which I cannot do). This happened after the iPhone was upgraded to iOS6 and performed one sync. Any ideas?

KIN TwoM - Any way to get games on this phone?

I there any way to get games on this phone? Haven't read any reviews on this topic and everything on the net about this topic is 6 months old.

If you really want to play games on your kin and have an internet connection you can try these Javascript games:
http://www.playtouchgames.com/games.html
The games that use a lot of animation do not work well, but strategy games do. If you find one that you like just pin it to your home screen.
