I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

There is alittle lock symbol on the upper rite side of my ipod touch? what does that mean?

there is alittle lock symbol with a circle around it,and it is in the upper right corner of my ipod touch?? and i cannot sync my music to my ipod

simple... that means your oriantation is locked... turning your ipod.. will not make the screen turn.. you can change this by accessing the multitask menu by double clicking your home button and then scrolling to the left... clicking on the button with a rotating arrow will unlock orientation...
hope this helps...

My iPad just went blank! There's a message about it needs to be restored - what does that mean?

I went to sync my iPad 2 with iTunes today. It asked me to update the most recent version but then it went blank! It won't turn on at all - help!

If iTunes told you that the iPad needs to be restored, the message seems pretty clear to me. The iPad needs to be restored within iTunes.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device. Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

What is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean?

what is the ipod 4 new model, I mean look at the walmart site, it says (new model) what does that mean? Look at this link : http://www.walmart.ca/canada-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?_DARGS=/canada-es tore/search/fragments/cataloghierarchy.jsp I dont understand, what was the old model?

The 16gb iPod 4 is a new model! Previously, the iPod Touch 4G came in 8gb, 32gb and 64gb versions. Apple has stopped shipping those versions and has replaced it with the 16gb iPod 4. While this is technically the "newest" model (by a day or so), it is not the most technically advanced. As others have pointed out that it the iPod Touch 5g (32gb and 64gb versions). So Walmart is not "outdated" or "incorrect", but perhaps a bit deceptive.

What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
