How do you recover an ipod that was never connected to my computers?
I have an ipod which has a password but I don't know what it is (our company's assistant set it up and she is now gone...). We never connected it to a computer so the recovery process Apple suggest to do online won't work as it is locked. How can I proceed to restore it to factory default settings?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do you recover a file that was deleted from iCloud?
I can't find a file I stored on iCloud. I must have deleted it by mistake. I need to recover it.
Thank you,
EddieSorry, there is no file recovery for files you delete from cloud storage. If you made a local backup then you can restore from it.

how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?
If the iPod is showing the 'disabled' screen due to too many failed passcode attempts then you will need to connect the iPod to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -

How do I recover a folder that was accidently put in trash and deleted?
If you don't have Time Machine enabled on your Mac you'll need to use a file recovery applicaiton like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. FileSalvage had a demo mode to let you know what it can find and recover before you have to purchase it. However, it won't be able to recover the folder, only the files in the folder.
Other possible file recovery applications can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching there for "file recovery".

How can I recover a iMessage that was deleted and if not is there a way apple can send me email of all my iMessages in past month
Hi Toniann,
If you have a recent iCloud backup that was done when that message was on the devcie, you can restore from that backup.
No, Apple does not keep your messages, no do they have access to them. That would be a serious invasion of privacy, don't you think?

How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

This morning I ave unknowingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone's data in iTunes. Now all HER information is on my is on my phone and all of my information has been overwritten. How do I recover my data and overwrite her data. My latest backup to iCloud was yesterday. I have not backed up my phone today and have turned off the auto back up feature, hoping I can still retreive yesterday's data. Can anyone help?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this. -
How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on
I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
please help
cheersahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
cheers
