    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

    My ipod nano 4th generation was set up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately it was plugged into a pc and all my files, (song, pics, etc) were erased. When I plugged my ipod into my mac to sync it again, it wouldn't even appear in the source list. I can't even click on it to restore it. It's simply not there. Any ideas on how I can get it to appear in my source list and sync it again using my mac? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Which OS & iTunes versions do you have?

  • I have an Ipod Touch and I wanted to synch it to a new computer without losing anything, especially my playlists.  Can this be done?

    I want to sync my ipod to a new computer without losing the anything currently on my ipod, especially my music playlists.  It seems like you can only synch to  one computer.  Both computers are mine, so what difference does it make?

    Follow the instructions here. You can only sync with one iTunes library. That is how Apple has it work. You may loose the playlist but you will not lose the songs.

  • Question about transferring all my songs from current IPOD to New IPOD....

    I currently have a 15GB IPOD, that I've had for about 2+ years.....has the 4 control buttons on top of the spin wheel. Anyway, I currently have over 2500+ songs, many from my CD collection.
    I'm interested in purchasing a new 60GB IPOD, so I can enjoy the new video feature. Is there any way to transfer all my songs from one IPOD to another? I don't want to do anything illegal, but both IPOD's would belong to me. I don't think I could go through copying all the CD's over again. I don't think they'll be a problem transferring my other songs (not from CD).
    Has anyone done this?
    Any helps/hints would be greatly appreciated.

    As long as your songs are in iTunes on your PC, then you can transfer them to as many iPods as you own.

  • HT4527 I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I have a place for my music? Thank you. SandyLyn50

    I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. from my PC to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I can put in my music? Thank you so much

    Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

  • HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?

    My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?

    This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
    If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • How do I go about saving ALL data on an imac running 10.5.8 and wipe the harddrive and install an new OSX

    I have an old imac running OSX 10.5.8 which for various reasons was never updated further
    Processor is 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    It has iphoto 08 7.1.5 (378)
    I also have a macbook Pro.  Running OSX 10.7.5
    Processor 2.4 GHz intelCore i5
    memory 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    This one runs iphoto 11 v 9.2.3 (629.52)
    On Both these Machines I want to save all the files  and particularly the photos to an external hard drive.   I can do the files etc but having problems with iphoto.  I want a complete functional copy of both libraries in iphoto and I want to be able to access it and pick and choose which ones I want to use  but not STORE on a new Macbook.  I want to access the photos from several machines and just browse through them.
    Then ..  once I have a proper copy of everything  I want to reformat the old imac and install the newest OSX it will run given its Processor etc.    any advice on which OSX it can cope with?
    Also possibly upgrade the  macbook pro , so that they talk to each other properly, will access icloud and will also both be compatible with a new macbook pro running Yosimite... 
    But I want to be able to pick and choose which files I move to the new macbook. Both photos and general filing.
    This may be easy for an expert but I am not an expert, I am reasonably competent.. but definitely not an expert and I don't want to mess up and lose stuff.
    can anyone help?

    You will need to Erase the Device and Set up as New using her Apple ID.
    Then... Sync her content...

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • I have to re-install itunes, how can I get all my songs, apps etc back, with no access to my old itunes??

    Itines was deleted from my computer and I need to re-install it but dont want to lose all my songs, apps etc. How can I get all this back onto itunes with no access to my old itunes??

    Itunes was deleted?  Or your itunes library was deleted?
    If it was just itunes, then your music should still be there.  Just reinstall itunes.
    Otherwise just use your backup copy of your comuter to put everything back.
