Any photos in your camera roll, not previously imported to your computer, you will lose. You should be regularly importing these photos, as the iPhone's camera roll is not designed as a storage device.
Had you been regularly syncing/backing up, you wouldn't lose anything. Now you know, don't backup your data, and you will eventually lose it all, guaranteed.

  • HT1351 I have an IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for several years. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address.  How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new itunes account?

    I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?

    Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID. 
    NOTE:  You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid.  As long as you remember your Apple ID password.  Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
    Back to the iPod.  iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library.  If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).

    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.

  • How do I restore an iPhone 4 if it is disababled, but has not been synced to itunes on any computer?

    So I was with a bunch of friends and  they managed to take my iPhone 4 and disable it to the point where it says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes." I haven't synced my iPhone to iTunes on a computer yet, so when i do connected it to iTunes it says i have to enter the password on the iPhone, but i can only emergency call people. How do I restore it without iTunes?

  • I recently upgraded to iPhone4s. I am running OS 10.7.4. iTune no longer 'sees' my iPod Classic but thinks it is my iPhone. The iPod has not been synced or updated for a while. Any ideas?

    I can't update/sync my iPod Classic because iTune thinks it is my iPhone4s. How do I overcome this please? Surely I ought to be able to use my tunes on both?

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • HT1212 Restoring on a new computer that the ipod has never been synced to is not working.  Old computer is broke and trying to sync to the new one is not working.  Help!

    Passcode has been disabled and the computer it was synced to is no longer working.  We have tried to sync to the new computer and it is not possible.  Exactly what are the steps to do this.  All our apple products are on our account, therefore, apple support should be able to see that there is nothing "suspect" going on.  It is driving me insane not being able to reset/resync, whatever it's called when your locked out.

  • Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?

    Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?

    Them try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,

  • TS1292 i brought my daughter £15 iTunes card. the card has not been activated, I haven't got the reciept anymore. The (not an Apple Store) store i brought it will not activate it. what can i do? please help!

    i brought my daughter £15 iTunes card. the card has not been activated, I haven't got the reciept anymore. The (not an Apple Store) store i brought it will not activate it. what can i do? please help!

    Does the person who gave it to you still have the receipt ? You can try contacting iTunes Support and see what they say (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • HT5622 Hi, I can't use my apple ID even when down loading free apps there's a prompt saying this Id has not been use in iTunes . What do I need to accomplish? Thanks

    Hi, why can't I use my apple ID even downloading free apps there's a prompt message saying " this ID has not been use to iTunes" what should i do?

    That usually means that your payment information is incomplete. Even if you want to download free apps, unless you were able to select "None" as your payment option when you created the ID, you still have to enter a credit card.
    There is a very specific way that you have to create an Apple ID if you don't want to use a credit card and I am guessing that is what you wanted to do originally, but you didn't do it correctly. The instructions are in this kb article.
