Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

Hi,
I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do? It is a 1st generation Ipad.
Thanks for the help in advance.

if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

My apps on my iPod touch only open for a second then close, I tried the reset option of holding down the power button for ten seconds still no apps that I have down loaded will open just the one that are on the iPod like music app store whether time etc.

My apps on my I pod touch will not open. They start to load for one second close down. I tried holding down the power button to reset it. And that didn't work. Is the only option is to delete all apps and then reload them?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod. Again, say "yes."

I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months. Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all. What can I do to open the program?

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Why can't you update your computer operating system ("desktop software")? What software would that be?

I restored my ipod to original factory settings, now it won't work

After restoring my ipod to original factory settings (to solve a problem of some of my songs that wouldn't play) I tried to put all of the songs on itunes back onto my ipod. Now, itunes is giving me this message saying it can't read my ipod and that I should restore it again. I can't restore it again becuase my itunes won't acknowledge that my ipod is plugged in or anything. Is there another way to restore it?

Is this the error message that you see?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes.
If nothing else works, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater. It's usually a last ditch troubleshooting effort.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

I went to update my ipod to the new ios 6 and now it won't connect to itunes and its telling me to restore it. How do i restore it without losing all my stuff?

Can someone please help me!

Only thing i suggest as i had similar issues is to restore the phone! using itunes and then continue as a new install and not as a back from..
Or forget the network and search again!

I dropped my iPhone 4 and now it won't sync to iTunes

Last night I dropped my iPhone 4 pretty severely and smashed the front glass. It's been working fine, with the occasional freak out (podcasts stop playing after ten seconds or so, but that righted itself), but this morning (after turning it on & off) I went to sync it with iTunes and it has been stalling at Preparing To Sync with an error message that says "An internal device error occurred." This sounds pretty scary.
Is there anything I can do for it or should I take it to the Apple Store? I was planning to get an iPhone 5 in Februrary, so I don't want to have to pay for costly repairs (it's out of warranty).
If there's nothing I can do for the internal device error, how do I get my podcasts onto my phone? The new app doesn't download the episodes for some reason. This is the only part of the data I can't do without syncing.

Your device is broken. If you want a device that works better than the one you have now, then you'll either need to bring your phone into Apple for out of warranty exchange ($149), or find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see what they can do, if anything at all.

Having resent my iPad using the Settings route, the Apple logo appeared onscreen and a line below it filled from left to right. When full, the device did nothing. I was able to switch it off and back on, only to see the same Apple logo and filled line. Even pressing the ON botton for a few seconds did nothing. The device is now inert, and I cannot access it.

I'm using iphone 4 but could not backup or update the phone. Am forced to restore the phone to factory settings. All it shows was a itunes and plug. What am i supposed to do?

I was prompted with the 'No Service' message. When i tried to switch it on again, it showed the iTunes icon and plug. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, I was prompt to restore the phone to factory settings. No updates or backup was allowed. What does this means? I have never done any backup for this phone. Someone please help.
Thank you.

Correct.
That is why it is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup on a regular basis... at least Weekly.

Can I restore my iphone5 to factory settings if it was never synced with iTunes??

I dropped my phone in water, dried it out in rice and turned it on. It instantly gave the me black apple icon screen. I plugged it into my PC and itunes recognized the device. It said that it was in restore mode and to restore it to factory settings. I started the process, but it kept stopping after it began updating my iphone. I'm wondering if it was doing this because I never synced my phone to iTunes previously and we only have the must recent version of iTunes on our PC, not the previous operating system version. I attempted to download the firmware for the prior version, but when I click 'alt' and then 'restore iphone' and choose the the prior firmware file, iTunes just tells me that the firmware is outdated. Any advice? We do not have a Genius Bar anywhere within two hours of my location; so am trying to repair it on my own until I can purchase a replacement. Thanks.

Hello Sprashley,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would try these steps from the article named:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
All the very best,
Sterling
