  • IPhone 4s disabled. how do i fix it without erasing all my data?

    okay, i just got an iphone4s for my birthday on april 25th. i had no passcode because no one ever goes through or touches my phone. but, i got in trouble and i didnt want my parents to look through it so i added a passcode but accidentally my finger slipped and i added a random code. the finger slipped again when i went to confirm it. since i didnt know how to unlock it i put the require passcode after: to four hours. and the auto lock to never so i thought i could buy some time like that. this morning i saw i left it locked when i went to sleep last night and therefore it was locked for four hours. making it require a passcode. i had already attempted to figure it out 9x and this morning i tried once more. now says its disabled, connect to itunes. how do i unlock it without erasing all my data?

    You can't. Try restore with the computer you usually sync with.

  • Ipod touch erased all user data. Music, Apps, and Pics

    Might have a good one for you guys...I work at a local electronics store and a customer came in with an Ipod touch that they claimed to have a "virus".  I am aware that Apple products are not prone to viruses (I've never witnessed one before) however I went along with it to hear what the issue was.  When using the Ipod Touch, after turning the screen off for a little while, the ipod restarted but there was absolutly no content on the device. Music was wiped, pictures were wiped, and apps icons will still present, but when selected they did nothing.  I recommended doing the recovery option by connecting the Ipod to the origional computer it was first synced with, but they tried that and the computer does not register the device.  The customer said they contacted the retailor because they purchased an exteneded warranty through them, but it doesn't cover software issues apparently.  They contacted Apple support and Apple said their 1yr warranty does not cover software issues, but for $200 they can push an antivirus to the device (I was present during the phone call, which was on speaker phone).  The customer is fairly upset about the situation, and rightfully so.  I just took it on as a side project just to help them out as they have done a lot of local business with us and I'd like to help them out if I can. 
    This is where you guys come in.  Not knowing exactly what was done to the Ipod doesn't give me a starting point for any tips or tricks that may exist, but I'd like to just run it over with you guys to be sure I'm not going on a while goose chase. Any help or recommendations would be welcome!
    Thanks again guys!

    You stated:
    They contacted Apple support and Apple said their 1yr warranty does not cover software issues, but for $200 they can push an antivirus to the device (I was present during the phone call, which was on speaker phone).
    That does not make sense. The warranty covers defects in hardware and software.

  • I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos.  Any ideas how to get them back?

    I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos.  Does anyone know how to restore them?

    All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • How do I erase all my data from my iPad mini?

    I purchased a new Ipad mini yesterday.  I want to return it but first would like to erase all my data entered.  The only information I found on how to do this requires that one go to settings>general>reset>erase all data.  I tried this; however, my mini has no reset option in settings>general.  Any suggestions?

    On an iPad Mini the charger port is very small, the cable should look like this:
    The larger plug goes to the charger brick.  The smaller thinner plug goes into the iPad's port, labeled Lightning Connector in the picture below.

  • HT1212 how to reset the "ipod touch"

    i need to know how to reset my ipod

    If you forgot your screen-lock passcode:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                          
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
    You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
    There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
    When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
    The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?
