and is there anyway just refresh the system with out delete any program or saved file ?
just make the system setting like form factory.
Can't have it both ways. "Refreshing" w/o deleting programs and restoring to factory level are 2 different things. Also, it depends on which OS system you have. You did not mention this in any of your postings nor have you included your system info.
You have to decide which do you actually want to do?
Archive & Install (if your OS allows)
Erase the HD (restore to factory level)

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it
I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps -
Find my iPhone has reset and none of my devices are listed; is this because I have an old Iphone4? And can I set all my devices back up again? And how do I set my devices back up?
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -

I live in a house with multiple iCloud users. When they try to turn on "Find my computer" they get the message that they will have to disable my "find my computer" setting in order to enable theirs. How can they all be enabled at the same time?

I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

I plugged into iTunes and now all my notes on my phone are gone. Years worth of notes that I stupidly don't have saved anywhere else. Can someone tell me what to do to get them back?? I have iTunes set to back them up but can't find out how to retrieve them.I plugged into iTunes and now all my notes on my phone are gone. Years worth of notes.

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

I just bought macbook pro with 10.8.3 os. When i start the system, all applications automatically start up as well! How can I turn them off. I checked the user settings and no application is set tom open automatically!
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems. -

im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

I have my ipod nano 5th generation and when i plugged to my computer it is recognized but i cant do anything. On the ipod all i can see is a blackscreen with the apple sign! How can i fix this?
Howdy Lumagofe,
I was thinking that you may need to reset the iPod Nano, outlined here How to reset iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If that doesn't quite get the iPod going again, then it will need to be restored. Use this article to help with that Restoring iPod to factory settings http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339.
All the very best,

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?
I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
