Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone. I have done everything suggested in Apple support. How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system. I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success. I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data). How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)? If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Iphone 4s not showing up in iTunes, even though I have done everything suggested by Apple

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.
Everything worked fine untile one day, the iPhone stopped showing up in iTunes. I have not installed any other software during that time.
I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.
My iPhone is showing up in iTunes when I connect it to another computer with iTunes installed.
Any clues as to what may cause this on my computer?
Thanks!

the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes like the old one did.

How to enable a disable ipad without losing all my data.Forget password.

I forgot password. Tried so many times and now my IPAD is disabled. Is there a way to enable it without losing all my data. The computer that I use to back it up CRASHED and there is no way I could retrive all my important and its such a waste to lose all my pics n 3000++ songs.

No. If you don't have a backup, then whatever data on the iPad you don't have backed up is gone. That's what a passcode is for...
You can re-download music and apps using the same Apple ID you purchased them with without paying for them a second time.
You might want to consider using iCloud to back up in the future...

I activated my 4S over WiFi. I have never synced it with iTunes. How do I sync it now without losing all of my content?

Itunes will have me erase my phone before I can sync it. How do I keep from losing all of my content (apps, app configs, settings, accounts, notes, voice memos, pictures, songs etc.) Do I need to use iCloud to back it up? If so, I'd rather not spend money on more iCloud space.
Thanks.

So you've never synced with iTunes before? Or are you syncing to a new computer?
if the latter take a look at this doc http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

HT2623 how can i restart my email without losing all my apps

i want to chose a new email for my phone to recieve but don't want to lose all my apps. I do not believe I set up icloud when I originally got my phone or ipad

Depends on exactly what you want iCloud to do. This should be a good starting point: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/
For email and syncing Notes, Contacts, Calendars etc, you pretty much set it up as you would any mail account.

I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop?

I use an iPod4 Touch and am using IOS 6.1.6. Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop? This is happening repeatedly throughout the day. I don't have an Apple password for this email address, nor do I want one!

Maybe an App that needs updating was purchased by that account?
Could someone have installed an app not purchased with your account?
Can you post a screen shot of the message?

I have an ipod touch and have no similar issues - is this an itunes account setup issue?

Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.
