I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

Try replacing the iPod in recovery mode and they restore again via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini. I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

Is this particular car stereo stated as being compatible with your iPod Mini? If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's support site or give the car stereo manufacturer a call.

Hi,
we have had to reset our pc to its factory setting and i can no longer sync my ipod when i buy a song? can anyone help? cheers.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

I had to restore my computer to its original settings after a crash. I backed up my files before hand so I didn't lose data in memory. When I ran Firefox from it, my bookmarks are gone. How can I get them back if I can?

My computer had trouble starting for a long time. Taking it to the shop didn't help. Today it just wouldn't start at all. In a desperation move I restored it to its original settings as if I just bought it. I chose the backup files version so that I didn't lose any data in memory, though I do have to restore some settings. When I ran Firefox all my bookmarks are gone. Everything is in the My Backup folder. How can I get my bookmarks back if I can?

As always, iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content. You should keep everything on your computer and should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Problems restoring my Mac to its factory settings. Please help?

I used the install discs to restore my computer, i was successfully restoring my computer, and after waiting an hour for it to be done, it says "there were errors installing the software, please try installing again." I only had the option to click close, and the computer ejected the disc, but then asked for me to put in the disc again and wouldnt allow me to quite the installer, I tried to shut down the computer, i even unplugged the cord but still every time i turned the computer back on it took me to the same page, I really have no idea what to do now, i tried installing it again, and the same exact thing happened!! please help!!

I'm not sure which OS's CD's you used, or how you went about restoring the computer, but here's a sure fire way to restore the computer. Take the main gray CD and pop it into your computer. Make sure it pops up in finder, then restart your computer. On startup, hold down the alt key. You should go to a gray screen where you will see your hard drive, Macintosh HD (unless you renamed it), and the OS disk. Click the disk to boot into it. Once there, select a language, and then on the top, under utilities, you should find everything you need! There are multiple ways to go about it (you could go under disk utility and select restore, ior you could redownload the OS on the disk)

Trying to update my Iphone 4 on Itunes on Windows XP but a message appears that says "unable to update IPhone. Please check network settings/config., etc...or try again later". Please help

Need to update my IPhone 4 and connected to the itunes on windows XP. I clicked on update and waited. A message appears that says," Cannot update etc. Please check your network settings/config., etc... or try again later" and it's been happening for a while. Please help.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I lost my songs after needing to restore my iPod to its factory settings. How can I get those songs back?

I downloaded several songs on my iPod touch and it wouldn't sync with my computer so I needed to restore it. Those songs that I had downloaded show up in my purchase history but they are no where to be found in the music library. The assistance I got from support was to chech the "Check for available downloads" and precede from there, but it isn't finding those songs. How can I get those songs back?

They are only where you put them, if you did not download them on the computer or transfer them from the iDevice, there is no logical expectation for them to be on the computer.

TS1398 My iPad will not connect to WiFi. It will not even register any wireless networks. I have tried everything based on hours of research on the internet including restoring the iPad to its factory settings and changing the security on my router. Hel

I have literally tried everything that I could possibly find on how to fix the problem and it is still not connecting. I am reaching to find out if anyone knows what my next steps would be or if I just need to contact Apple. Thank you for your help!

Try a soft reset or turn the device completely off then turn it back on again. Also you can toggle Airplane mode on for about 10 seconds and then turn it off. Sometimes that resets the radio signal inside the device.
A soft reset is basically holding onto the power button and the home button simultaneously together for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen flash and it should go completely black. Afterwards, tun the device back on like normally and see if that fixes the problem.

I no longer have sound for either my audio books or my music on itunes. I've tried everything--restarting, updating, re-installing audible app, and restoring the iphone to its factory settings--nothing helps. How do I get the sound back?

How do I get the sound back on my iPhone 4? I've tried all the fixes such as restarting iPhone, reinstalling the audible app, and finally yesterday, I restored the phone to its factory settings. I still get no sound from music on iTunes or from my audible books. The phone still rings (I have sound for that) and the voice control speaks to me, and when I'm typing, the automatic text voice speaks so I can hear it but nothing else works.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.
