Don't remember password. Can I restore and then put everything back on it from backup

My daughter forgot her iPod touch password. I was able to hook up our old computer which has the iTunes backup. If I restore her iPod can I put everything back on it after it restores?

Yes, but only if this is the computer that the Touch normally syncs with and if it was recently synced.

HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How do i clean my ipod of songs and then put them back on from computer

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.

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
Thankx

You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

HT201263 iPhone restores and then goes right back into recovery mode

Overnight, my iPhone 4 went into recovery mode on its own. I plugged it into iTunes, which detected a phone in recovery mode and asked if I wanted to restore it. I went ahead and clicked restore and the phone went through the whole process. I received a notice on my PC saying that the restore was complete and to wait until prompted to unplug my phone. I never received a completed sign and the phone just goes back into recovery mode and I eventually get another notice saying that iTunes detected a phone in recovery mode.
Is there any hope for my phone or is it toast?

No one does. It's an iPhone 4. Totally and completely out of warranty. I use Straight Talk for my service carrier so I don't even have any sort of support from AT&T.
If I contact Apple, they will charge me $20 just to troubleshoot. Hence me posting in the community. I was hoping someone would have some further information that might assist me in determining whether there was any chance of getting the phone in working order again or if it is toast.
If the problem is hardware, like you indicated at first, it is most likely not even worth spending the money to have the hardware fixed (if even possible) because it is an iPhone 4, not under warranty, and pretty outdated.

My 5s died and needed recharging. now it won't let me in without a passcode which i didn't use or don't remember.I can't restore from backup since find my phone was activated. Any ideas ?

Anyone help ?

Use a computer and log into your iCloud account and turn off Find My iPhone on your iPhone. Then Restore it in iTunes.

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password. Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.
