HT1212 My daughter totally disabled the device by attempting to guess the password I set. How can I restore the device if iTunes is bombing out my computer?
My daughter totally disabled her iPod touch 3rd generation by attempting to guess the password I set. How can I restore the device if iTunes is bombing out my computer?
Not knowing what "iTunes is bombing out my computer" means all I can suggest is:
Disabled
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.
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
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.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her. -
i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks royThere's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.
You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

I have restored my i phone 4 and trying to restore from the back, but it is asking for the password, but when I entered the Itunes password it is not accepting it, how can I restore the password?
Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,

How can I restore the sound on my ipad
How can I restore the sound on my ipad please?
I have know idea what happened to it but I am disabled
and rely on it so much because it is so easy to carry around.
Please advise me how to restore it. I miss listening to my music
so much.Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

I am unintentionally come to delete the bluetooth connection to my heart rate monitor in my iPhone 4s. How can I restore the connection?
Thanks, but unfortunately for me the Polar H7 does not have any buttons or anything that can actively affect the pairing, it is manifest just a transmitter. Pairing can apparently only be done by finding the Polar H7 in the unit that you want to pair with (my 4s) and after my delete of the device, my iPhone 4s does not retrieve it as a Bluetooth device.

My adobe ideas doesn't zoom any more during the use of the pencil tool and I have to switch on the pan tool all the time.How can I restore the zoom?
Is there a stylus connected and is palm rejection turned on? (Or at least, does Ideas believe that a stylus is connected? You can tell by pulling down the stylus menu on the top righthand side of the screen.) In that scenario, pan and zoom are disabled during use of the pencil tool.
Hope that helps,

How can I restore the "Sync Now" button on iPhone 5?
How can I restore the "Sync Now" button on iPhone 5? (using iTunes 11.0.2) All software up to date and sync works by WiFi or USB if initiated from iMac. Bento syncs fine from iPhone 5. The "Sync Now" button just doesn't appear anymore. All I see is the message to connect by cable and click "Sync this phone over Wi-Fi". I have tried that and turned things off and restarted and re everythinged - no button. Syncs fine on WiFi if the computer initiates it. Wife's phone bought same day - no problem.
From iTunes' help:
Turn on Wi-Fi syncing
Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click Summary.
Select “Sync with this device over Wi-Fi.”
Disconnect your device from your computer.
Your device still appears in the Devices pop-up menu in iTunes unless you click the Eject button .
If you click Eject, your device is removed from the Devices pop-up menu, but Wi-Fi syncing remains turned on. Your device reappears in the Devices pop-up menu the next time you open iTunes. -
