my PC has been restored to factory settings, can i sync my music on my ipod with a newly downloaded itunes

You'll want to copy the music from your iPod to your computer and into iTunes first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering some of the different methods and software available to assist you with this task.  Once you have successfully copied all your content back to your PC and into iTunes, you can safely Erase and Sync your iPod.

  • HT4623 Purchased 3gs which was locked to Tmobile germany by previous owner - has been restored to factory settings but wont let me activate and says to try later

    Please help, bought 3gs off ebay which stated was locked to tmobile germany. has been restored to factory settings but wil not let me activate

    The phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. The hack did damage that is now preventing it from being able to activate at all.
    It may or may not be fixable, but we can't help you with it here.
    If it was misrepresented by the seller, file a claim with ebay and get your money back.

  • How can I tell if my macbook pro has been restored to factory settings?

    I just bought I brand new macbook pro (15,4 inch) from an official apple store... but I'm thinking that it may be used (it was a bit dirty when I opened it, but it has no scratches).
    I tried with coconut battery, but it went ok, the battery is new. However they might have changed it.
    Is there a way to know if the mac was restored to factory settings?
    ... if not, is there any other way to know if is a used laptop?
    Thanks,

    cycle count says 1... wich correspond to the initial battery discharge I just did. That's why I think they may have changed the battery.
    Serial number is C02FHFG0DF8V... how can you tell if this correspond to a refurbished unit?
    It has all the "official" envelops of a brand new mac... the thing is that I found small dust specks all over the interior of the box and in the accesories (not on the notebook itself).
    According to coconut "Age of your Mac" is 11 weeks.
    That's why I thought the only way I could knew for sure if they used it before (maybe for showcasing at the store) was finding out if it was restored to factory settings. (Also I bought it in an official apple store).

    My little cousin was playing with my iphone and restored it to factory settings. Is there a way to retrive my pictures on the phone?

    Thanks for your reply.

  • My PC has been restored to factory settings some of my photos are in a album on my iphone only how can i get them back onto my pc

    I have had to restore my PC to factory settings and didnt back up all of my photos but they are in seperate albums on my iphone 4 how can i get them back onto my pc many thaks johnmall

    You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
    First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
    Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
    For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

  • I don't have the original laptop my iphone was set up on. I have backed up all my data on icloud. If I sync with my new laptop and erase all my contents(restore to factory settings), can I then get it all from icloud?

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

  • My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?

    My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?

    Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
    However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iTunes to 5.0.1. Now everything is gone; photos, contacts, all gone.  It has been restored to factory defaults.  All I did was push the button to download and install.  How can a programmed upgrade to this?  Is there any way to

    Is there anyway to restore back to where I started?  I just downloaded and upgraded, hands off.  But it looks like the phone has been set to factory defaluts.  I saw a message to that effect but then the process continued and I thought it was restoring my data.  Am I in the tank?

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • My Mac has recently been restored in an Apple Store. I'm wanting to backup my iPhone 4 so I can use that data on my new iPhone 5. Though as my apple ID and everything has been reset to Factory Settings, if I plug my iphone in, will it erase everything?

    Okay, so I got Apple to restore my whole Mac operating system, and it obviously reset all my settings and computer to factory settings. As I now have an iPhone 5 and wanting to backup my iPhone 4, I can't do this as my Mac does not have any recorded backup's from before as they were deleted in the restoration. So i want to plug my iPhone 4 in to back it up. The main question is if I plug my iPhone 4 in, will it erase everything? and if so, how do i prevent this from happening as I have very important data on my iPhone 4 i can't lose.
    Thanks

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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        
    Also
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • How to delete icloud after it has been reset to factory settings.

    My grandmother had recently given me her iPhone because I had no phone. She switched to android. Note: she has no idea what her password email is to the iTunes account.(She has Alzheimer's) Fancy that. The iPhone 4 is backed up to icloud. I looked on the internet and restored it to factory settings through iTunes on my computer thinking it could work and delte her info. The phone is still linked to her account. I am unable to setup up the phone because of that. note: I am at the "Hello, welcome to your new iPhone" screen. Any help?

    Does the email address give you any idea of what her Apple ID might have been? As ManSinha indicated, if you can retrieve her Apple ID via the FORGOT APPLE ID site, then you might have a shot at getting the password reset so you can log her off of Find My iPhone.
    What you are seeing here is the Activation Lock:
    ACTIVATION LOCK
    To remove the Activation Lock, one of the following sets of actions must be completed:

  • Why is my iphone 4 suddenly not working after being forced to "restore to iTunes" and automatic update to iOs7. Phone has been restored, reset and recovered. Will not activate to server. I need a new phone Apple!!

    I heard about all the problems with the new iOs 7 update but also heard Apple would force me to do it. I tried to update but didn't have enough space. Had to delete ALOT of my apps and still not enough space. Phone was working perfectly fine and message pops up that "I will not have any service until I restore to iTunes. I plug into laptop to restore and it forces me to update to iOs7. Takes 3 hours. It updates but phone doesn't restore. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips:reset to factory settings, recover etc. Got a new SIM card because it said I don't have one but I do. Apple support wouldn't help me because I was out of warranty, and said I would have to pay. Went to the Apple store and they couldn't fix it and said "it's a hardware issue" that will cost me $170.00+.  I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW iO7 FRIED MY PHONE'S HARDWARE. The phone is on the HELLO stage and keeps searching but will not activate to server- it's temporarily unavailable. Have tried multiple times.I have a 3 year contract with Rogers and the phone is less than 2 years old. Apple needs to take responsibility for crashing my phone. I NEED A FREE NEW PHONE!!!

    Restore it to factory settings, then set it up from your back up. Did this last year when I got my new iPod, and it worked. I have no idea why syncing OTA can sometimes glitch, but hopefully this will help.

  • How can I move the music on my IPOD onto a new computer if my old computer hard drive has crashed.

    Question. How can I get my music library from my IPOD onto ITUNES on a
    new computer, given that my old computer, which contained my ITUNES library crashed and has an unrecoverable hard drive?

    Have you not got a backup of your iTunes content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then depending on which country that you are in then you might be able to re-download past iTunes music purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, I don't know whether they still exist and/or work.

  • I have just bought a 2nd generation iPod touch , it has been reset to factory settings and has no option to update it ? How do I do this ? Also it will not show up in my iTunes or my computer could someone please help??

    Please help as it is starting to look like I have wasted money

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
