HELP ASAP!! Lettered password tried first time, caused my ipod to be unrecognized by iTunes and only solution is restore, which I don't want to do!
I put in a lettered passcode recently and now it won't work anymore and iTunes could not let me type in the password and only solution is to restore it. I really do NOT want to restore it at all because I highly value the info, saved pics and links, especially the music I saved which is only on my ipod, not anywhere else, not even my computer. I am a music person and I work and live for music, and recently I saw a new kind of passcode which can be lettered instead of a 4-digit passcode, so I went ahead with it, which made me comfortable. Until I realized as soon as I clicked the top button (which just put it to sleep or off) and when I click it on, it says it has to be plugged to iTunes. I thought I would have to get home to type in my lettered passcode to get in, which I did. But when I plugged it in, there's no password needed or anything like that. iTunes won't even recognize my iPod, and the solution is to restore it, which I refuse to do, because all my work is in this iPod of mine I've had since nearly 4 years now.
PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! I can't live without music, I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Is there any other way I can get my iPod to work without having to restore it and lose everything I've worked for in it?? None of it is saved to any other computer or technogical device. Everything is in my iPod. Please help!! I am struggling each day without music, it's impossible, I miss music and I need to hear it, and the iPod is the only way for me to hear as of for now because I am deaf/hard-of-hearing and my hearing aids are broken, so I use the ipod everywhere I go to listen to music on my earphones/headphones, I can't carry my computer anyways, lol. Please may any of you help me solve this problem?? I will be eternally grateful! THANKS SO MUCH!!
If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

Please help. I finally gave in to updating software because my apps wouldn't update without io5. I ensured all of my music and apps and pictures were listed on my iTunes so that when it restored it would all sync back. Well, my ipod is restored, and my pictures are moved over, but my apps are not. I guess I can go and re-install individually, but what is the purpose of having them on iTunes?? Also, NONE of my music is on my ipod and there does not seem to be a way to move it from iTunes.
Also, at the top right of iTunes where it has the spots for Library and iPod Touch. If I click on the iPod, the icon just disappears! iTunes used to have a column on the left side that listed my ipod and I could move things to it (like my music). Is this how the new version is or am I just missing something?
I am so frustrated right now after spending hours....Ignore. I figured it out:)

I plugged my iphone in for the first time to my computer. I synced it with my itunes and it deleted everything. Now I don't know what to do because I did not even have the chance to back it up! everything is gone please please help me!
When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online even if it wil be shipped within u.s. only?
To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:
http://www.apple.com/qa/
Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue. -

Please help! I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer. I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle. When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer? The manual doesn't clarify how to do this. Thanks.
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I have a Touch. It sync's automaticly when I plug it in. I like this.
I bought a Shuffle for my wife today. I want to put a playlist on it. When I plugged it in for the first time, it sync'ed with all my Touch stuff and is now full.
How do I empty the Shuffle.
How can I plug the Shuffle in if it automaticly fills up with my Touch stuff?
I have windows xp.
Thanks,
JeffSome apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

HELP. I'm trying to use my old iPhone 4 on my iHome speakers and I do not remember my passcode
iTunes has a nasty habit of deleting the previous backup every time it does a backup. If you really have an old backup intact, there is a way to restore from it. I forget the procedure, but I'm sure you can Google it. It's a good idea to manually go into your backup directory and manually copy it over to a new name once in a while. That way iTunes won't touch it, and you can use it in an emergency such as yours.
Here's a website that describes how to do it:

I tried several times to download pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
- Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. -
I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!
The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.
Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link. -
