How do i get to sync after the iOS 6 update?

i connected my phone to my computer to sync some songs, and then my iPhone 4S updated to iOS 6 without my noticing.
after it finished, all of my apps and music and videos got wiped, so i did a restoration.
for some reason i am now stuck in a loop of restorations: itunes only gives me the options to restore as a new iphone or restore from a backup.
i've restored thrice now, and am getting no where.
please help,
how do i get my apps and music back?
more or less, if you can help me get my sync button back that would be perfect.
all it gives me is the "set up your iphone" screen.
Thank you in advance!!

I assume you mean quitting the apps not just going back to the home screen. Just do the double click of the home button, when the apps appear put your finger on the app image and swipe up to the top of the screen. That now totally quits the app.

  • My airplay is missing from the command center menu on my iPad. How do I get it back after the iOS 7 update?

    I recently updated to iOS 7 on my ipad2 and 3 before I realized airplay no longer works on either of them. I understand I should be able to manage it in the new command center, but airdrop nor airplay is listed there at all. I have tried turning the iPad off and back on as well as resetting it. How can I get it back?

    Try looking for it on all your home screens and folders.
    If its not there, make sure it diod not get restricted under Settings->General->Restrictions->Camera

    Always back up your computer before installing updates.  You may need to rebuild it with a pre-update library file.  Details really depend upon exactly what you lost.

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Ipod problems after the iOS update

    anyone else having trouble with their ipod after the iOS 8 update? like it won't charge past 20% and it keeps like restarting itself and whenever it does that like I usually have to unplug the charger and plug it back in for it to turn on since it acts like its dead when it does that

    A very few have reported problems:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to have Itunes auto Sync after the podcast auto download? (for iphone 3gs- but I think it can be iphones in general)

    I want to have itunes download the podcast first and then sync to my iphone automatically. It is in the reversed order, so I have to manual sync again after the auto downloads. How can I do this? Thank you

    Contact the seller because the iPhone seems to be not unlocked. Only
    the Carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it. If it is an AT&T
    iPhone, return it or sell it because AT&T will not unlock for anyone
    for any reason.

  • After the IOS update for 3G iPhone, I am now no longer able to sync my phone to my iTunes library. How do I fix this?

    Hi, hoopsnut34. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The most common cause for the screen not rotating would be the Screen Rotation Lock button is enabled.  Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

  • Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature after the IOS update flash on the white screen either before or after the "hello".

    Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature flash briefly when the white screen appeared?  I don't know for sure if it was before or after the "hello" greeting.

    If you leave it alone, it goes through several languages in a loop.
    It's character, not caricature.

  • Why don't my tones appear on my iphone after the ios update?

    After updating my phone to the iOS 6.0 I can't find the tones I downloaded (to the phone), even though iTunes shows them in the "Tones" page and they even appear on the "On this iPhone" page in iTunes...but they are not in the tones list on the phone.  Where are they?

    i just ran the diagnostic in itunes and it says that itunes doesn't find any usb ports. they're clearly there and working. thought i'd add the info just to see if anyone had a clue as to what was going on.

  • Why can't I have the sound back after the IOS update?

    Since the last IOS update my iPad does the lock rotation or mute, not both like in the previous version! I want to be able to use both features and I just can't and it's frustrating...  Also my Facebook just stop working. I deleted and installed again but it just keeps closing. I really would appreciate some help with my problems. Thanks!

    Have you verified that the side switch setting is set to what you want it to control?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    Also check the setting in Control Center (swipe up from above the Home button) as well (rightmost icon on the top row).
    For the Facebook crashing, try this:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    If that has no effect, try deleting the Facebook App, then download & reinstall it.

  • How do I get song titles after the track has been installed in library. there used to be a get title option but in 11.0.1 I can't find it?

    This option used to be available in earlier versions of iTunes but I can't locate it in 11.0.1.
    While importing into the library the online link to gracenotes was lost and the track appears as Track 1 etc in the library

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • HT1483 how do i get photos back after a recent update on my ipod?

    I just came back from a family reunion and took SOO MANY pictures. When I came home I just decided I should update my ipod touch but I didn't realize it would restore. So without saving my pictures prior the update its all gone. I REALLY need to get those pictures back.Any help?

    On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is there an iPod backup listed with a date of when you started the update? If there is then restore from that backup. But first go there and turn off autosyncing, other wise that backup might be overwritten when you connect. To turn off check the box that says prevent iPods...syncing." If not then there are likely gone unless these work:
    Recover files from iPod Touch | Restore data iPod | iPod touch undelete, unformat
    iPhone Recovery Stick - recover deleted text messages & more
    No user has posted that they work however.
