HELP ITUNES IS FORCING ME TO RESTORE I CANT
IT WONT LET ME ACCESS MY PHONE UNLESS I RESTORE PLEASE I CANT LOOSE EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP
Sorry, but if your device is in Recovery mode, then you have no other option but to restore. If you are seeing an iTunes logo and a usb cord on the screen, it means that all of your data is already gone.
Do you have a backup to iCloud by any chance?
Sorry,

IPhone 4 with 5.0.1 not recognised by iTunes. Forcing me to restore.
I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 last week now my phone is not recognised by iTunes. It it telling me to set up a new phone or restore from back up. Problem is the last back up is the the day I updated. I don't want to lose all me purchases and stuff on my iPhone over the last week. What can I do?
Relevant info iPhone 4 with 5.0.1 on iTunes 10.5.1 running on iMac Lion 10.7.2Your iPhone being recognized by itunes will not change this.
All purchases on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes or updated your iPhone's backup over the last week, anything included with the iPhone's backup since the last backup that is not available on your computer will be lost. iTunes purchases except for movies can be re-downloaded.

I have 3 iPods: 1 Touch and 2 Classics. The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager. While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself. Is that even POSSIBLE? I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!?? I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight. It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC? If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

i have ipod classic,80gb,i cant restorit via itunes and when i click restore i see the error1439 plz help me.is there any software to reset it
Hello adifromba
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

I forgot my password and could not open until it is said "connect to iTunes". I connected to iTunes. for three hours, I restored it. But it is still not restarted. what can I do? I can not use my iPad 3 for three days. Please help me!
Try and force your 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. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device. -
Hey, my ipad is disabled and i cant open. i tried connecting it with itunes in recovery mode to restore it but it wont work it doesnt show and options itunes doesnt detect my ipad in recovery mode. what do i do know? please help!!!
If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

Can you help me to retrieve my applications. In iTunes I accidentally clicked the Restore button in the Summary screen. It restored the original settings and I lost all my applications and don't know if it is possible to retrieve them.
All apps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
You can re-download all 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the app originally.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Do this with iTunes on your computer. After you have re-downloaded every app one by one, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the device's sync preferences along with selecting the apps below that you want transferred to the device followed by a sync to re-install the apps on the device. -

im trying to restore my iphone and itunes doesnt allow it to restore without updating. problem is that i have the latest update on my iphone so why is it forcing me to wait for a 7hr update download when i already have the update and only need to restore?
Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.
