Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi
Is synching over wi-fi viable? I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses. I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

IPhone won't sync with iTunes over Wi-Fi, asking me to restore???
I just tried syncing my iPhone to iTunes over Wi-Fi, which usually works with no problem. The sync didn't work, and there was an error message stating that I need to plug my phone into the computer and restore its factory settings. Why did this happen? Is there a way I can fix this without restoring? I don't want to lose all of the contents off my phone. This usually works fine but it's acting up for some strange reason.Please help!
Anyone? :(

Made the switch from Windows with a new iMac now my iPhone won't sync with erasing
Hello!
I migrated from an older PC to a new iMac and when I try to sync my iPhone (which was synced on the old PC ) it wants to erase all my iPhones (3GS) data in favor of what currently on the iMac's/iTunes.
I deauturized my iTunes account on the old PC before switching, was there something else I may have missed?
I'd like to be able to import all the app and music tht's currently on my iPhone into my new iMac/iTunes.
Is there a way to acheive this?
BTW I LOVE MY IMAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance for any comments/advise...........
D.If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac following the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

New iPhone won't sync with iTunes, but iTouchG2 synchs ok
I've gone through the entire recharge/retry/restart/restore sequence. Turned my laptop off and on. Searched for (and found) the usbapp.sys driver in the Windows32 driver folder. Found my iPhone in the hardware device list, but not under the Universal Serial Bus list; it's under Imaging Devices. This hasn't caused a problem with my iTouch.
I hesitate to reload iTunes because my iTouch G2 just synched perfectly earlier tonight.
I talked to an Apple tech earlier this evening, and when I reloaded the iPhone software, the iPhone was being recognized by iTunes. However, after the restore was completed and I tried to synch, my iPhone was seen by Windows as a camera (as usual) but not visible in iTunes.
I have read both troubleshooting white papers on the Apple support site, so please don't send me there. I'm about to take back this iPhone tomorrow if I can't get it to synch.OK, here's what fixed it. I did an "update driver" on the iPhone listing in Imaging Devices, and had browse for usbaapl.sys. I'd already done a search for that file and found it in three places, so I just copied the location of one of the instances into the Browse window. Windows found the driver, changed my iPhone from an Imaging Device to a USB device (in Device Manager) and voila! iTunes could find my new iPhone.

I restored and updated my itouch and it won't sync with itunes
But it recognises my device, but when i click on my device, it simply displays a page with the word "Ipod" on it any help :/ using version 5.1. and using windows vista i also have the latest itunes
I've restored it sevral times and have rebooted the computer but it still isn't workingIf Itunes match fails to complete its scan process and is stuck in steps 1, 2 or 3 the following steps usually clears problems:
1. Hold option key (Mac) or shift key (PC) whilst turning of match. This clears genius/match cache.
2. Close iTunes. Optional - Reboot computer.
3. Open itunes and turn on match. Select "add this Computer" and see if process completes.
If you see the following when you go into the match screen and it has been likes this for a while, I suggest that you stop process and go to menu > store and select update Itunes match:
You should see this if you progess on from "Sending information" to "waiting for Apple.. This should happen within minutes:
You should also add icloud status column to song view - go to menu > view> view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, Inelligible, Duplicate or Waiting.
Tracks that are "Waiting" may include one or more corrupt tracks. You may have to remove all "Waiting" tracks from your library as it is not always clear which ones are causing the problem. Large / Long tracks that will be uploaded may be the cause of the problem.
Once you have removed the tracks, follow steps 1 to 3 again and see if process completes. You can then readd the tracks, a small number at a time until all your music is added.

Any help or feedback would be appreciated, as I am somewhat technologically challenged!
Well...with lots of trial and error...here were our steps...
Downloaded newest OS for our home Mac
Made sure all downloads on devices (iPads, iPods, iPhones) were downloaded properly
Installed newest version of iTunes on home computer (had trouble with this due to iTunes remaining open)
Finally was able to connect devices and sync them properly.
I am definitely in the technology challenged area, but after many hours I feel pretty proud of myself that I was able to complete this (with my sons help ) -

Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?
Would the backup be password protected? I don't know ... After you restore from a back-up, and if you have passwords set up, would the newly restored iPad require a password or would it be "live" for 5 minute or however long the iPad was set to wait to require a password? Maybe wiser heads can advise...

I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!
Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?
Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone. -
ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
All contacts disappeared on iPhone - Can't restore from backup, iCloud now gone too
Just sitting and watching TV and having some minor text conversations on my phone (5S).. Next thing I know a message pops up without a name and the +1 area code an number.. The message is from the same person and number I was just texting. Strange I thought.. Pulled up my contacts and "no contacts" is displayed. Checked my settings.. iCloud contacts are still enabled.. reset my phone.. reset network settings.. nothing helped.. I thought, no big deal.. I backup every night.
First time restoring from backup, I saw all the contacts there and thought i was in the clear.. 10 seconds later, they disappear before my eyes! Getting very frustrated i tried an older backup. They don't even show up. I log into iCloud on my laptop and they are there for 2-3 seconds and disappear.
I've been using iPhone's since the original and have the new phone every year.. I pretty good with these phones, but this has me stumped/very frustrated. Has anyone experienced this or found a solution? I'm out all my contacts from the last 8 years.. Thinking I never had to worry because I've backed up!
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
RyanI don't think that is the case.. I noticed they were there when I would first complete a restore from backup but as soon as my apps started loading they would disappear again.
I got them back by immediately turning on airplane mode as soon as I completed the restore. I the turned off iCloud sync and selected keep contacts on this phone. turned iCloud back on and selected merge contacts.
First time I tried that it worked for a minute until the apps started to update again, I believe it might have been WhatsApp, then, what do you know, contacts gone again. I repeated the process and, this time, I deleted all my apps. Seems to be working ok now. All contacts have stayed.
Is it possible that an auto update for an app that accesses your contacts could have a bug that does this? Whatever it was, I am very glad I got them back.

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!
In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.
