Accidently disconnected ipod without ejecting, now it only shows recent purchases. I can see 40 gig of original library but its listed as other not audio. Is this retrievable audio data or is it lost. I have no backup what can I do to restore my ipod?
I accidently disconected my ipod from my pc. When I plugged it back up I only had limited access to my library. I had over 40gb of audio data that now when I go to the summary page of my pod it shows up as other, only the audio that I have recently purchased from itunes is accessible. Is the 40gb retrievable and can some one please tell me step by step what I need to do. My collection took over a year to put together and there is no backup file.
"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by forum regular Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.

I need help rebooting my sisters old phone. Its asking for icloud email and password but she forgot it and I don't have a computer what can I do??
If she can't remember the ID/password, she will need to go to https://iforgot.apple.com to recover it/reset the password or she will have to call Apple and speak to someone in account security.

I logged into Apple support and clicked on Itunes to go to my account. Instead it instructed me to upload itunes to my computer. I recently upgraded to Windows 8. I uploaded and puchased some music to add. When I went to synce and add all music to my iphone it deleted my play lists and added the new only. I see my playlist is saved on icloud but I cannot get to it either. What can I due to get all music back?
Syncing with a new iTunes library will remove content from the device and replace it with content from the new library.
Put the content desired into iTunes on the new computer.

I purchased a damaged, non working iphone 4 from a third party. I fixed it but can't activate it because it is still linked to the previous owners Apple ID, although it appears to have been already reset to factory settings. Neither I or the seller know who the previous owner is to contact to have them remove the phone from their account. Is there anything I can do or have I been taken for a ride?
If the device is iCloud locked, there is nothing you can do. You may be able to sell it for parts. Hope you enjoyed your ride.

I can see my old (previous) library but it wont import!
I seem to have moved my music the WRONG way to an external Drive ..by copying the artist folders one by one .... of course a new library was created with none of my play lists. When i try to import the "Previous itunes library" its greyed out and wont open. I tried saving the previous library as an xml but it wont work. My music is exactly where and how i want it, but i cant recover my old library with my playlists for the very same music
.. any ideas?Are you saying that the XML file is greyed out? That's weird, because File->Import is exactly for importing XML library files. And you used File->Export to save the previous library in xml format?
Instead, try this method of replacing a LIbrary with an older version:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301895
Does that solve your problem?
By the way, if you moved your music through the finder you will probably have problem with iTunes not being able to find the files on the new drive. If you still have a copy of your music files on your computer (in the original location, not the ext. drive) you may want to open the old Library and do the following:
1) In the Advanced preferences, change the location of the music folder to the external drive.
2) Check the "Coppy music to iTunes folder" and "keep music folder organized" (at last for this operation)
2) Using the advanced menu, Consolidate your library. With this function, iTunes will copy all your music files to the new drive and will keep track of where all the music files are. -
I want to be able to use 2 different scanner machines (A4 and A3). I have installed the 2 drivers.
However it seems I can only use only 1 scanner.
Because when I switch usb cables to use the other scanner and try to import in Photoshop ,I get the message saying there is no scanner installed.

I have ipod touch 4G . While updating O/S it stopped in between and now it only shows crashed apple symbol. It is neither turning off nor able to go to main screen. what I see is only crashed apple symbol. What to do?
Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

Hi, I have an iPod touch 2G with an iOS of 4.2.1 and there are no updates available for my device, I want to download an older version of iBooks that is compatible with my device. Pls what can I do?
- The 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. It does not have the hardware to support a higher iOS version.
- Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
- You can only download the current version from the App store. -

i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ??
If I get this right, you've ported your phone number to AT&T with the purchase of the iPhone. That is considered opening your own account under your name. Your brother's account is not ported to AT&T unless you used his SS# instead of yours. Your brother still has his account under Verizon Wireless, all you did was use your cell phone number to when you opened your own AT&T account.
If you don't want to use your Verizon Wireless phone #, my suggestion is to call AT&T customer service and explain that you want a new phone number instead of the ported Verizon number. -

hello please help me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you
I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

I have connected the iPhone but iTunes won't recognize it. The phone has a red sign saying " iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" What can be done?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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
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
