After setting up my new 4S restoring a backup of my old one, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then backup my NEW 4S to iCloud without messing up all-?
After setting up my new 4S, restoring a backup of my old 3GS, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and then I've changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then after that safely backup my NEW 4S - which now holds all my company information and stuff - to iCloud without risking to lose it?
Hi Mcchen425,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud. Then you can delete one of your two backups. The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.

My computer's hardrive went bad an I had to get a new one. Now my computer has nothing on it and I had to reinstall itunes and i have no music or anything. So now I cannot sync my ipod or anything. Is there anything i can do to get all of my stuff back?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I've recently formatted my 10.7.4 mountain lion MacBook from 2007. The hard drive is wiped and I think it deleted to OS too. How do I put the OS back on it?
Wiping the drive does indeed delete the OS. Try this -
Boot to the Lion (10.7.4 is Lion not Mountain Lion) recovery partition by restarting the computer and holding down the command and R keys during startup.
If this works, reinstall from here. You must be connected to the Internet to do this.
If this does not work, possibly because you reformatted the recovery partition as well, you will need to reinstall from your original disks (assuming it came with 10.6 or earlier.) Boot to the disk by holding down the C key during startup and run the installer.
Best of luck. -
I have downloaded the most recent version of Itunes on my pc running Vista 32 . When I click on the icon nothing happens. Same thing when I go to the program and click. I have removed the software and reloaded it twice and it continues not to work. Please advise how I may be able to solve this problem?
Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"

I have the newest version of iTunes and none of that works!!! I don't know where the Advanced Menu is. And I don't think you can select a song anymore. I need to make WAV Files to put them on Windows Media Player so i can download music on my Samsung Intensity 2.
Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
If iTunes still does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
I updated to the latest version of Itunes and my Ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable and the i tunes logo
Well the answer I gave you didn't solve the problem. Is the USB cable and the iTunes logo still on the iPod screen? You could start the "fixing process" by rebooting your computer, connect the iPod again, launch iTunes and see if anything happens.
This article may prove to be helpful. there are many steps that you can try to get the iPod running again.

after updating iphone 4s to ios7 , it restart and asking me to connect itunes , i connect it to the pc wz cable, the message appear that itunes couldn't contact iphone sofware update server coz there is no internet , i try other one and it works normally
Oh ...
That makes it difficult. My new (working) phone is a 4S and the SIM card does not fit. The old SIM card is in the 3GS but as far as I know it was was deactivated.
But it seems that with other updates over the last couple of years this was not necessary and my partner went through the same update with her 3GS with no problems.
Should I go to my AT&T dealer and purchase a new SIM card? Is there still a new one available? -
I ended up having two id's, one being my original when first getting into itunes and the other came when I opened a me account. I have purchases under the original id. How do I merge the old account into the new account
Sorry, but it is not possible to merge two Apple IDs/iTunes Store accounts.

I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new phone in iTunes and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore to put everything back onto my phone.
No you cannot. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup, and if you restore to a backup that contains the restrictions passcode, you will be right back where you started. Only alternative is to restore the device as new, or if you restore to a backup, it has to be before the restrictions passcode was entered into the phone. However, that could mean that you would be restoring to a date that does not contain all of your data.

It wont let me do anything on the phone except make emergency calls and it has a message saying "restore needed. iphone cannot make or recieve calls. restore from iTunes." The tech people i called and verizon didnt know what to do. i'm very confused. i restarted the phone, restarted my computer, updated my itunes and everything and nothing has worked.
Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea. -
When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I changed the email to my itunes and now my cloud is stuck on the old email which I no longer have access.
To change your iCloud account to a new Apple ID, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that aren't in your camera roll and you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll. -
I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.
When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod -
I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone. Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab. Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how to get this to work.

I backed up my movies and rebuild my computer, and after making sure i'm using the latest version of itunes and quicktime and and making sure i still had spare computer authorizations, i still get error 23132. Please help.
I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.
