I updated to ios5 and now I cant restore my iPod touch.

I have now lost all my content because for some reason it says that my backup/restore files dont exist anymore. why cant I restore my ipod?

What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes?
Yes sometimes the backup will be corrupted and if you do not have another backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
You can redownlaod iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Upgraded to ios5, and now i cant start my ipad...what to do

UPGRADED TO IOS5, AND NOW I CANT START THE IPAD...JUST A APPLE ON THE SCREEN ??? WHAT TO DO???

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. If that doesn't work then see if this page helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
And there is no need to SHOUT

I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
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
If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
Next
- Try another cable
- 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.

I updated my mac and now i cant download

I just updated the software on my computer and now i cant download adobe and silverlight on the internet. It says they are both installed but i cant use any applications that need them. I have been able to use all programs that have used these items before u updated my computer

Howdy geipl,
It sounds like the Finder application is not functioning correctly, and quitting unexpectedly. I would start by trying a Safe Boot, then testing the issue to see if Finder will stay open:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Safe Mode is the state into which you can start up your Mac by performing a Safe Boot. To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
If Finder is still not working correctly, I next would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article:

i cant restore my ipod touch

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

I updated my iphone and now I cant connect to my home wifi

Ive updated my iphone 4s to the new software and now I can no longer connect to my home wifi

Hello there indianafran,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I recommend these troublehshooting steps from the article named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If that does not fix the issue then these steps near the bottom of the article is where I would go next:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
All the very best,
Sterling
