I have 2 iphones registered under same account, but both phones had different contacts in them, somehow icloud duplicated, exchanged them, and I turned off the icloud on one of them, while doing that it asked me if I want to keep them on my phone or not. I pressed the one saying not to keep them. I deleted all of them and could not restore the contacts, how do I restore it? when I sign in to my icloud account online it only shows the contacts that were on the other phone. plz help

I access a personal iPhone and iPad, and a business iPhone with the same Apple ID.
The iPhone's passcode lock feature is completely separate from another iPhone or iOS device.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. If some apps were downloaded with one Apple ID and then a new Apple ID is created, in order to download an app update that was installed with the original Apple ID requires using that Apple ID and password.

How do you restore your iPod? HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

Okay, i've had my iPod for awhile, and this is the first problem i've ever had!
When i plug in my iPod into iTunes, a pop-up comes up and says :
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod 'Kelsey's IP."' Use the iPod UPDATER to restore the iPod to Factory settings"
I have NO idea what that means, i tried to reset it, but nothing happened? I went to preferences, and it doesnt even recognize that my Nano is plugged into the computer anymore! This happened after i plugged my Nano in, took it out of the connector, and then plugged it in again, and it didn't recognize it! PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know how to fix this & Don't know what i need to do to fix this!
THANK YOU

Hello Kelsey!
Before you do a restore, first try to get your computer recognizing your iPod by putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again. See the details laid out here:
How to put your iPod into disk mode
Also, see these articles:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod does not appear in "My Computer" or in iTunes
If you believe you need to restore your iPod, then I'll explain here how to restore your iPod.
Plug in your iPod.
Close iTunes if it is currently running.
Go to: "START -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater [the date of your iPod Updater's version]".
Open the iPod Updater. When it recognizes your iPod, click on the "Restore" button. Restoring should take about 5 minnutes.
Note that restoring your iPod will delete all the contents off of it, but will not affect your iTunes library.
If you have any trouble with restoring your iPod, or need any other explanation, just post back, and I'll be here to help you...I hope this helped!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

How can i restore my ipod touch 4g (?) without passcode or itunes

Hi and thank you for helping as this is urgent.
I forgot my passcode for my iPod, and guessed it to many times so it got disabled.
The problem is I don't have iTunes and can't get it on my laptop, but need to restore my device. Right now on the screen it has a photo of a USB cord, an arrow, and the iTunes symbol. So, how can I restore my iPod touch without my passcode or iTunes?
Thank you SO much.

Right now you can't without a computer. Once you get to a computer you can restore it using DFU mode.

How do I restore my iPod?

I have locked myself out of my ipod by forgetting my passcode, how do i restore this ipod from a new computer

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Hi Subrata,
Unfortunately, you cannot delete it. You would have to enter the password in order to delete the old Apple ID from your device. If you do not remember the password, please visit: https://iforgot.apple.com/ If this doesn't work, please directly contact Apple.
