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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I  have an ipad 1 and all was fine until the other day and now I can't connect to itunes a box pops up saying cannot allocate memory, what does this mean and howdo I fix it

    Try quitting all apps and restart your iPad. Maybe you are running out of memory on the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or try a reset,
    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.

    Hi Mustafa
    sometimes after a update the language of the keyboard changes. with this some letters may be changed (for example y and z)
    I think in "settings - general" you can change the keyboard.

    Hey jerzeyzfynest,
    Unfortuantely, no -- Geek Squad Protection plans require that repairs be sought before a product is considered for replacement. This means your current laptop would only qualify for an exchange if one or more of the following conditions are met:
    A factory-authorized technician has determined that repairs cannot be completed
    A factory-authorized technician has determined that replacement parts cannot be obtained
    The unit has accrued two previous qualifying repairs a factory-authorized technician has identified a third qualifying hardware failure
    A detailed overview of this policy may be found in your plan documentation, as well as in the sample brochure available on the following site:
    http://bbyurl.us/TandC
    If your current laptop hasn't been performing up to par, then I'd encourage you to speak with a technician at your local store when you have the chance to do so. Diagnostic services are included in your service plan coverage, so we'd be glad to help find out what's going on.

  • My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

    My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • HT4059 When I tap on the store on my iBooks it says cannot connect to iTunes, what is wrong?

    When I tap store on my iBooks it says cannot connect to iTunes, what is wrong?

    Hi Kath50OCD,
    Thanks for the question. When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT201263 I forgot my passcode to iphone 4s. I entered wrong and now it says, disabled connect to itunes.  I have some VERY important information on the phone and it was not backed up. Is there anyway I can unlock my phone and not lose my information?

    I locked my iphone 4s, I forgot the passcode and it says disabled connect to itunes. I have some very important information on the phone I can't lose, How can I retrieve that information if the phone was not backed up to icloud of my mac? I will go to court over this to prove it is my phone.  I just can't lose this information. Please, Please, Please, help me. I will mail the phone in to apple store if that will help.

    You can't. If your phone is disabled, the data has already been erased...that's the whole point of the passcode. Your only option now is:
    Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • What happens when you have a 40GB Apple TV and a 80gb itunes Library?

    Sorry, couldnt find the answer to this. Have a large library, and wanting to sync to new apple tv.
    What happens, do I only get a parcial library showing up in Apple TV?

    Even though tv is a remote network device, it shows up in iTunes just like a locally connected iPod or iPhone.
    From the iTunes library (of the computer hosting your media) the summary page displays a message that iTunes will sync to the tv in the order: movies, then tv shows, then music, then podcasts, then photos.
    It will copy as much as it can fit. OR you can go to each of the tabs (in iTunes after having selected the tv device) and pick which movies, music, photos, etc. that you'd like to copy.
    As an alternative, on the tv itself, there's a 'Source' menu. In addition to the content locally sync'd into the tv, it'll also display any iTunes library on your network, but the computer must be running iTunes and iTunes must have sharing enabled.
    If the tv is connected via a fairly fast network then live streaming from another computer is no problem. It will "work" with 802.11g wireless - but I noticed back when I used to run it this way that if I told iTunes to 'sync' to the tv it would take a very very long time to complete. So long, in fact, that I used to just do this over-night while I sleep. I think that it suspends syncing if I play a movie (at least if it isn't suspended, it's making such slow progress that I can't notice it). BUT... the tv does support both 802.11n wireless as well as 1000baseT (gigabit) wired networking. If you connect via either of these methods (esp. the gigabit wired), a full-sync will take mere minutes to do your whole hard-drive. It's amazingly fast. So streaming movies from another computer (instead of copying them locally into the tv) is no problem at all.

  • With Maverick does Spotlight index keep indexing even when you have not done anything with your computer?

    I have had lion and in lion the spotlight did not index all of the time like it does now.  It seems like it index's every hour.  I have gone through the forums and have deleted and rebuilt the index but it always seems to index and take 20min to do so about every hour, even if I have not download anything.  Is this a new thing in Maverick or is it something I should worry or do something I have not already done.  I have like I said deleted and rebuilt it.  I also put my hard drive in and out of private.  I have just done a clean install of Maverick and just wondering if this is part of maverick, never did this in lion.  It seems to interrupt my TM Backup and yes I have put my external TM hard drive in the private section.
    Thanks for any help,
    Christopher Malaney

    You can force quit Spotlight indexing.
    Open Activity Monitor located in Applications > Utilities
    Select the CPU tab.
    Type mdworker in the search field top right corner of the window.
    Select mdworker then click the force quit button top left side of the window.
