Back up ipod before ios upgrade, but i still lost all apps, music, ect
before I downloaded the IOS upgrade I backed up my ipod touch. After the upgrade I tried to restore, but nothing is showing on my ipod. Is there any way to get my stuff back?
Just sync the items back from your iTunes library. If they were not in the iTunes library on the computer onwhich you you did the updae the itesm are gone. The apps themselves andmusic and some other things are not in the backup that iTunes makes. They are synced from the iTunes library at the end of the update.
If you are in the USA you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can always redownloaf apps at no additional cost as long as you are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
For music you only get one download (without iCloud) andit is up to you to back it up.

"I want to transfer my music to a new account"
You cannot.
"How can i make a new account but yet still keep all my music?"
Authorize your computer for your Dads account as well as for yours. That's it

ok...so I had to restore my computer back to its original factory state:( now I have lost all my music on itunes. Can I get them back?? if so, how??
You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button. -
I updated my iPod to ios 5.1.1 and lost all my photos, what can i do to get them back?
I updated my Ipod to ios 5.1.1 I figured all my photos would still be there since I backed it up and had photo stream on but they're no where to be found. Is there any way I can get them back?
Photo Stream has only the recent shots in Camera Roll.
If you didn't backup with the appropriate software then it's gone.

i just got a new itunes acount because my other one wasnt working and it was fine i still had all my music on my phone, but then i had to restart my whole laptop back to the way it was when i first bought it because it was so slow, so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there. how do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop
I would not suggest starting anew AppleID as you will have problems with previous purchases.

How doesn't it work?
so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there.
Because it is part of your old AppleID (and your library does not just magically appear).
Did you make a backup of your HD?
jhow do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop
Authorize your computer for your old AppleID then File > Devices, select your device then Transfer purchases.
I highly suggest you sort out the issue with your old AppleID and continue to use that. Remove your personal info from the new AppleID and don't use it. -
My brother-in-law tried to back up my music on a flash drive. It now appears as though I don't have an I Tunes account. Worse yet, the flash drive only contains all the artists for the alphabet "A"! Can someone PLEASE help me?
See Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

is there any solution to this problem?
Okay, but this is nothing new. Purchased content has ALWAYS been permanently tied to the AppleID account used to buy it. It has never been transferable between accounts, or playable on computers not authorized for that account.
It has nothing to do with how you sync or save your OWN music. You cannot authorize your computer for music bought with an AppleID that you do not control. -
HT4972 i lost all my music on my iPhone when i updated to iOS 5!!!!! help!!
I just updated my iphone to the ios 5 system and I lost all my music, however i also just puchased an imac desktop today and somewhom i can not seem to find my music in my libray on itunes either!!!
Help!Where did the content come from to begin with? It should all be in the iTunes library on your computer.
Did you fail to use some basic intelligence and ensure there was a backup of the device prior to updating it? -
i backed up my ipod and i lost all my music. And its not letting me put my music back on my iPod and i also tried to buy a song from iTunes but it didn't download to my IPod. So now i dont have any music on my ipod now
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password
I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?
You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. That is the only choise.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

After upgrading my iPhone, I lost all my contacts and they were replaced with my wife's contacts even though she upgraded after I did. I did a time machine backup before I started the upgrade process, how do I get that saved data back to my phone?
Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

How do I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?
How can I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?
You need to go into Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
Once done you will be back as though it is a new iPhone and you can setup from the iCloud backup. -
Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?
I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again. -

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?
Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(
