HT4972 I recently restored my Gen 2 iPod Touch to factory settings and now it won't update from iOS 4.2, so none of my apps will install! Help!

It's really bothering me.

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

I restored my iphone 2 to factory settings and now it says the carrier is not supported. what can I do? I bought it from the us years ago and used it in romania and uk.

I have a Iphone 2 bought several years ago from the us, and used it in romania with a romanian number and in the uk. I think it was unlocked in the us by iphone. I did a stupid thing and I reset the phone to the factory settings and now I inserted a lyca sim and it says that The sim card inserted does not seem to be supported. please help me!!!

I'm assuming you're referring to the original iPhone.
More than likely, it was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.
In the US, all of the original iPhones sold were locked to AT&T. AT&T did not offer unlocking at the time.
The best case scenario is that it has now re-locked to AT&T. Luckily, AT&T now offers unlocking. All original iPhones were sold at full retail. They were not subsidized.
Submit a request here and see if they will unlock it. https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

I had to restore my ipod touch 4g last night, and now my music interace is different. Can I change it back?

I had to restore my ipod touch 4g last night. After I got it restored, I noticed two things: I now have an app called "passport" and my music interface looks different. It's not drastically different, but I'm not happy with how it looks at all. Is there a way to change it back?

Your device was updated to iOS6. You will notice many changes. If you like, you can restore it back to iOS 5.1.1.

My father gave me his 1st generation ipad. He restored settings and now I can't get itunes back on it. HELP!!!!

My Father gave me his 1st generation ipad. He reset all setting back to factory and now I can't load itunes. I have plugged it into two different computers and I can't get it to work. HELP!!

You can't delete iTunes. The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted or installed again. It's there somewhere.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

After restoring my ipod touch to factory settings, can we recover old apps and songs

We forgot the password to the iPod touch, when we went to restore the iPod to factory setting, it told us after it was complete that it would give us an options whether or not we wanted to apps/songs/contacts back. The problem is after the iPod got restored to factory settings, we never got the option to download the old stuff again.. Is there any way we can recover that or is it just gone?

How do I restore an ipod touch to factory settings when it tells me I have to first log out of find my ipod

how do I restore to factory settings when it tells me to first log out of 'findmy ipod'. I can't log out cas the password is not working, hence I want to restore to factory settings.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have an Ipod touch 1st generation which for some reason will not sync to my itunes account because of an 'error', though the error it speaks of is unknown.I have restored the ipod to original factory settings and it still will not sync.What should I do?

My title question pretty much explains it all but here are a few more details. I have tried almost everything I could think of before restoring my Ipod. I switched cords, turned it off before I plugged it in, I turned it on before I plugged it in, I manually tried to sync it, I turned of the computer and restarted, and after all that I finally restored it . But before all of this I was having other problums with it as well. It will freeze up when I use certain apps and also has a tendency to switch album covers, though now theres no album covers left on the ipod, the my itunes library is still fully intact... What should I do?

Sorry for the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

I want to restore my iPod touch to factory settings, How do I get the music that I didn't purchase ( I got it from my mom) back to my ipod?

I don't have a CD place on my laptop, so I can't get any of my music, and none of it is in my library. I really want my music so I can get it back easily on my ipod.

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here to copy from iPod to computer.
