Didn't sync before restore!!Help.
I've had my iPhone since June of last year. I was a complete newbie to the iPhone/iPod world. I had no idea that I needed to do updates and sync my phone. Well, when I found out about picture messaging, I just went ahead and did the update without syncing my phone first. Like many other's, I had to restore my phone. I lost all my apps that I paid $ for and songs. I did keep all my receipts. I do not want to buy all that again, so is there a way for me to get the apps and songs back?
Thanks for any help!
Have you double checked to make sure there's no backup file for you to restore from? iTunes will normally backup your info before updating. Apps can be redownloaded at no charge. If you have proof of all your purchases for music, you can contact iTunes Store support through the website. They will usually regrant that music for you and put it back into your download queue.

I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before ans as a result I lost all my photos, apps, and contacts. I will like to recover the deleted photos as they are very important to me, it's there a way to recover them?
did you ever do a backup. cause if you did say like a year ago. it should still be there and you could at least get the info back until that date.

Hard drive wiped out unable to sync to restore. help!
i had a problem with songs skipping or jump to next. i restored it with same problem and was told to wipe the hard drive. lost os unable to sync (syncs but unable to restore)from itune. help please.
The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone. You can transfer iTunes purchased music & apps: Connect your phone, iTunes running, first make sure your computer is authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer, then: File>Transfer Purchases. For music ripped on your own, you'll have to use third-party software to first extract such from your phone, as Apple makes no provisions to do so. Do this before you do anything else:

I have forgotten my password for iPod Touch 4G and it is now disabled. I tried connecting to iTunes but i haven't synced before and i need to enter the password before i can back it up so i can restore it. I don't want to lose pictures so please HELP!
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Hi i did the steps for restor my locked ipad (whech not sync befor) but after a while it says connot restore pecause it's locked? what i can do please help?
You have to force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -
connect to iTunes" I tried plugging my iphone 4 in the computer nothing about itunes popped up, i tried restoring it but it didn't work. Please Help Me!!!!!!!!!!
You must log into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the service. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and log in.
Also, if you have the cloud icon next to tracks in iTunes that means the initial scan, match and upload process is not complete yet. You should wait for it to complete before enabling the service in your iPhone. -

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)
It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Help me save my Windows Bootcamp partition before restore
I have tried all the suggestions and recommendations out there. MBP only hangs on Boot, grey screen w/spinning wheel. If I hold option, I see both my mac drive and Windows XP bootcamp drive partition. I can boot into Windows perfectly.So my question is how do I clone/copy my windows partition before residing to a complete Mac software restore. I have days of configuration set up on the windows partitioin and really don't want to lose it. Thank
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. If you attempt to sync such content with a second computer, ALL itunes content will first be erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature & cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, the iphone will see your computer as a "new" computer.
1.First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, in preferences, in itunes, which in windows is in the edit menu.
2. Put one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer, they can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is to have one entry in each.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, DO NOT SYNC.
4. Go up to Store>Authorize this Computer.
5. Go up to File>Transfer Purchases. All of the purchased itunes content on your phone will be transferred, music you ripped on your own will not be transferred. You will have to use third party software to first extract that music from your phone BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. Same for photos not in your camera roll, the photo sync is one way...computer to phone. This is one example:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
6. Right click the phone in the device pane & select Reset Warnings.
7. Right click the phone, again, & select Backup.
8. Right click the phone, again, & select Restore from Backup. Select the backup you just made.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select as before from the various tabs.
You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
This article details what's included in the backup you'll make & restore from:

My iPad Air is disabled after wrongpassword attempts.I didn't sync it with my laptop also. How can I restore it with out losing the data.
You can't unlock it without losing data. It's too late for that now. You totally erase the iPad when you unlock it and you will have to start all over again. Most of your purchased content can be downloaded again.

Didnt sync my new iphone before restoring old iphone backup?
Okay so i just bought a new iphone5s two weeks ago and i exchanged it for a new one yesterday,i took pictures with it and then when i got home i restored my backup from my old iphone5s and i cant find the pictures i took before restoring my iphone???? is there anyway i could get them back? its really important
thanksIf you restored the phone to the old backup then of course it will look like the old one. Backups are listed in iTunes under devices. If you backed up today, then it would show that, but each time you sync the phone it creates a new backup and will overwrite the last one. If you restore to the backup you made prior to the old 5s, then you will lose all of that data.
