I lost my apps after changing my operating system. iTunes no longer recognized my iPod Touch. Will I ever get my apps back or be able to sync ANYTHING ever again?
When we went from Vista to Windows 7 and tried to sync the iPod Touch - I lost my apps. Can these be recovered somehow?
Follow these instructions in the link..It worked for me as I used the same account to log in and to download apps.If you had purchased apps earlier, your purchase history willbe available in account history. So there is nothing to worry about. You'll not have to pay for ur apps again if you have bought it earlier. Plus,you'll have to authorize your pc if itunes does not recognize ur device. Go to 'store->authorize this pc' in itunes.

I do not know what I should phone is locked after changing the operating system
I do not know what I should phone is locked after changing the operating system , have the original box , receipt lost, Apple said that it is necessary to support the receipt of the first as I can not find the receipt of the first purchase when I moved to another country . I now throw my iPhone ?
It depends what you mean by 'locked' - it can mean locked by a passcode or linked only to one particular carrier (service provider). If the latter, see the post above; if it's a passcode issue:
1. Assuming this was bought new and you have set up Activation Lock and forgotten the passcode, please see this page:
http://www.lifehacker.co.uk/2011/10/24/youve-forgotten-iphones-passcode
2. If you bought it second-hand (used) - though this is not the impression I get from you post - then only the previous owner can unlock it. -
If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?
Just wondering, what context is this in?
First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
Hope this all helps a bit -

After changing disc drive letter iTunes no longer recognizes Cd's
I changed my disc drive letter from G to A, & now iTunes no longer recognizes Cd's but when I change it back to G, iTunes recognizes Cd's again.
I've done a full reinstall of all apple software components but still won't recognize disc drive set to drive letter A even after reinstalling iTunes with drive set to letter A.
I've looked at all the help documents & nothing relates to this particular scenario.I've done a full reinstall of all apple software components but still won't recognize disc drive set to drive letter A even after reinstalling iTunes with drive set to letter A.
Traditionally, in Windows, the A drive letter has been reserved as one of the two floppy drive letters (It's actually the letter reserved for the boot floppy ... which is why most floppy drives on relatively-modern-machines-that-still-have-a-floppy-drive are B drives, since the C hard drive is usually the boot drive.)
So I'm not surprised you're getting erratic sorts of behavior from a A:\ drive that isn't a floppy. If you need to change your optical drive letter, try perhaps an H or higher letter. -
I need to know how to stop losing / adding music I like/ dont like to my and my brothers ipod. I gave him my older ipod(2nd Gen) with music on it already. I bought a ipod (3rd Gen) also. Both devices are registered to me; but I gave my brother the older one. Now when either of us add / delete music it affects both ipods when either one on us sync. We use the same computor(windiws7), he uses his own account on the computor, butit accesses the same itune/ library. How can we split the itunes music between the two ipods?
Hi gail,
Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?

I dont know what to do I need help to fix this, my entire life is on that thing!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If i get a new ipod touch, will all of my pictures, apps, and music be able to get on my new ipod?
Ok, so im thinking about getting a new ipod but i have apps like flappy bird that you cant get again so i was wondering if i got my new ipod if all of my apps and music and pictures would be saved and i could get them on the other ipod.
Follow these instructions:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device -
Send Apple your basic system information.
Apple is still waiting to receive the data. If you have already sent it from your device check again.Sorry, this is a user to user forum and Apple can not be reached by posting here.
To get your phone unlocked officially, contact the original carrier and ask them to start the unlocking process. They will pass the info on to Apple, if unlocking is an option.

ITunes is not recognizing my iPod Touch After iTunes froze during a sync!
Okay... i was syncing my second gen iPod Touch (16gb) with iTunes and everything was going normally, until iTunes froze on my windows PC!!!
Then, i had to use ctrlaltdel (task manager) to end task for iTunes. When i restarted iTunes to try and sync my iPod Touch, it asked me if i wanted to enable syncing. I clicked yes, and then it said sync services could not find information on this device.
I had NEVER tried to jailbreak my iPod Touch, i just installed 3.0 yesterday, and sync was working perfectly. I didnt have any problems.
Please help me. How do i fix this? i looked on apple.com and they said to reinstate the Apple Mobile Device Service, which i DID. i followed their instructions to the letter, but nothing has worked. Im really scared! i payed $300 for this iPod and while everything works, it wont let me sync to iTunes!!!OK, no need to panic. Most everything is fixable.
First off, reset your touch. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo. Let go and let it restart.
Reboot your PC. When it is done, check to see if Apple Mobile Device Services are running. If they are, plug in your iPod. What happens?
Does anything pop up like a camera notification, or your PC reports it can't recognize this device?
If you get the camera notification, you will have to disable that before itunes will see your iPod. Search Support for an answer to that.
If you are still having problems, completely remove all Apple software from your computer (iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, QuickTime) and download and re-install iTunes. -
