If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode then you will have to restore and thus erase the iPod.

I want to erase the data from my iphone so I can trade it in for a new one. However, my husband and I share a calendar and address book. I don't want to lose all his contact info--is there a safe way to do this?

I need to upgrade my phone. But my husband and I somehow ended up sharing our contacts and calendar. So I'm afraid if I wipe my phone, his phone will get wiped, as well. How do I make sure that he doesn't lose all his info when I clear my phone out?

It will not delete his items if you erase you're phone.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

Don't know passcode to iPod but don't want to lose everything!?

I just found my iPod and I cannot remember the passcode for the life of me. I tried twice & the second time it disabled for a minute, then a minute later after just one try it disabled for 5 minutes. I was just going to back it up & then restore it like last time this happened but this time it says that I need to unlock the iPod first. Unfortunately that's why I was trying to do that :-) I really really don't want to lose everything but don't know what to do. I just spent the past hour trying to figure it out, but no luck. Please please please help! Thank you so much!!

You don't have that choice, I'm afraid.

I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode. I am thoroughly confused now after researching online. I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!

I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode. I am thoroughly confused now after researching online. I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help! Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

I recently updated my itunes to the latest version. Now when I try to view music on my ipod, it says I have to sync it? My ipod was already synced to this computer before and I don't want to lose anything on my ipod or in my itunes. What do I do?

My ipod has always been synched to this computer...and I don't want to lose anything.

It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

You are out of luck. You have to restore and thus erase the iPod.
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

Hard drive not recognised. Haven't backed up my work recently. Don't want to lose everything

I'm having a bit of disaster. I finished university for the term today, and typically my laptop decided immediately after my last class to die.
When I turn it on I get a picture of a flashing folder with a question mark.
I put it into recovery mode, intending to try and repair the disk. But it says the only disk in Disk Utilities is the Mac OS X base disk, or something like that. I DO have a time machine backup that I'm pretty sure I ran since installing Mountain Lion. Unfortunately I don't think I've backed up using Time Machine in the last 8 weeks, so it won't have any of my work from this term of university. Obviously losing this work would be a bit disastrous for my life and sanity.
Does anyone have any advice as to what to do? I have a genius bar appointment booked bu not until Thursday and if it's something I could fix myself I'd be keen to do that (although obviously I'm not keen for taking apart my laptop for fear of destroying it even further, and also because I think my laptop is still under warranty. I bought it 13 months ago in the education store, and I thought I read somewhere that it came with a 3 year hardware warranty - can anyone confirm this?)
Any advice would be most gratefully received!

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

I recently formatted my PC, I have lots of songs on my iPod which i don't want to lose, how do it put them onto the computer?

I have formatted my PC and I don't have my songs on it anymore, but all my music is on my iPod. Is there any way I can copy those files onto the computer without losing anything?
When I try synching my iPod it tells me that all data will be lost, so I don't know what to do!

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of thse discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by righ clciking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does noytinclude synced media like apps and music.

I've just lost access to my MobileMe emails and account when trying to change my password - I don't want to lose everything on my account . Help

I've tried to access my mobileme emails on icloud rather than the laptop, but password wasn't recognised, since changing it, I've lost all me emails from my laptop and can't recover my mobilie me account details.
I don't want to set up a different email address via icloud.
Help!
Any ideas?
I also cannot change settings on my email account..... (incoming server), so have suddenly lost all me email capabilty....

Presumably you didn;t use it very often.
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.

August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

New install of Windows - Don't want to lose everything on my phone like las

Hi,
I have to reinstall Windows on a regular basis. Last time I did it I synced my iPhone and all of my apps, contacts, music, photos and everything was erased. I really really dont want that to happen again.
Is there any way for me to sync my iPhone with my computer and still have all of the data from the phone transferred over to iTunes as a backup for the phone without syncing it first and losing everything I have added to it over the last 6 months?

You can transfer iTunes purchases on your phone to the iTunes library before syncing:
1. Disable automatic syncing on connection (iTunes Pref. > Device > Disable....)
2. Start iTunes and connect phone.
3. Right-click device tab and select "Transfer Purchases" - this will transfer all iTunes purchased media and apps to your iTunes library so that when you sync you don't lose everything on your phone.
To Sync photos, connect phone with iTunes off and transfer photos to your photo app.
If you have to reinstall you OS "on a regular basis", you should be backing up your hard disk frequently so that you can restore your iTunes library, photos and iPhone backup. Also consider changing your computer to a Mac OS - you both won't HAVE to reinstall at all and have a built in automatic HD backup system (Time Machine).
