  • How to restore without losing playlists created manually

    I assume I need to restore my iPod because I inadvertently locked the volume limit and can't unlock it. (I clicked on combination, which locked it automatically without giving me a chance to enter a combination).
    So, my question is how to restore without losing the playlists as I have them, given that I manually synced each song individually from various iTunes playlists.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    You can't restore an iPod without losing all the data stored on it.
    It seems from your post that the playlists are still in iTunes, so after the restore you can just transfer them to the iPod once more.
    If the playlists are no longer in iTunes (and solely on the iPod), and if you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.

    Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

    how to restore without itunes

    Restore to what?
    An iCloud backup can be restored without iTunes. This restoration is only done in the new iPad setup procedure. To get into the setup procedure on an iPad you must be able to use Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    If you want to "restore as new" and get fresh iOS software then, as far as I know, this can only be done with iTunes.

  • How do I restore without updating software from 1.2.1. to 1.3

    Here's my dilema, and hopfully someone can advise how to fix it:
    I have a Pioneer AVH-P5900DVD (car stereo) and it is compatible with iPod's, which have software version 1.2.1., but no higher.
    I have a 5th gen iPod which had version 1.2.1., but I accidentally updated the software via iTunes to 1.3. Now the iPod wont work with the car stereo.
    I couldn't find out how to downgrade the software from 1.3 to 1.2.1., so I managed to find a 2nd hand 5th gen ipod on eBay, which had 1.2.1. When I connected it to iTunes to transfer my music onto it, it stated that its formatted for Mac, rather than Windows, so I had to re-format the drive. iTunes then stated that I need to restore the iPod, and when I do this, it will only let me restore it with the latest version of the software (1.3). I do not want to do this.
    I found the software folders in my computer, and it seems that the earliest version i have is 1.2.3, and iTunes did give me the option of retoring with this version. But it wont work with my Pioneer stereo, which will only work with 1.2.1. or earlier.
    So, I either need to:
    1) downgrade my original iPod from 1.3. to 1.2.1.
    2) restore my new iPod (which has 1.2.1. installed), without updating to 1.3
    3) find and download the software files for 1.2.1. from the web, but I cant find them. They should be called: -
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw.signature
    If I managed to get hold of these, I could add them to my computer, then iTunes should allow me to choose 1.2.1. as a restore version on my new iPod.
    If anyone knows the solutions for 1 or 2, or where I can get the above mentioned files, please let me know.

    Thanks

    I managed to find the .ipsw files on an old laptop, which enabled me to restore both ipods to 1.2.1.
    Problem solved.

  • IPhone 2G restore without Update of software.How 2 do it in iTune 10.0.1.22

    How to erase everything in my iPhone 2G and get new software without updating my 3.1.2 software version?
    It gives me option of UPDATE AND RESTORE. I did that later it is locked and inactivated.
    Which software is workable and suitable for iPhone 2G ? And which iPhone sofwatre version? I want them!

    Original iphone's latest software is 3.1.
    Not sure what you are asking.
    "get new software without updating my 3.1.2 software version?"
    You want the new software without getting the new software?
    You appear to have the latest available software.
    If your iphone is unofficially unlocked/hacked/etc, then it may be locked when you restore/upgrade.

  • Restore without Update?

    So my ipod needs restoring but when i go onto itunes it won't give me an option just to restore so i click restore and update but the 4.0.2 firmware download always fails for no apparent reason. so i want to be able to just restore it without having to download the latest firmware.
    Ideas anyone?
    Message was edited by: theunderscore

    First, locate the .ipsw file that should be on your hard drive for the current firmwareversion you have. (you may have to unhide system files and folders). Once you find it,go to itunes and hold down the shift key shift, then restore. it should bring up a popup where you can select a file. locate the ipsw file and double click it. It should start the restore process. Good luck!

    You can upgrade your iPod on itunes to the most recent software it willl support. Anything past that won't work on your device.

  • How do you restore without updating?

    I'm trying to restore my iPad 3 to factory defaults but iTunes insists on downloading 6.1.1. I already have 6.1 and I just want to restore the iPad but this 10MB update is insisting on taking about 5 hours to download (My internet can download about 100MB in 10 minutes. Why 5 hours?)
    Is there a way to force it to use 6.1?

    You can't. If you restore your phone, iOS 6.0.1 will be installed on it.

  • HT1222 How to cancel software update in ipad?????

    I am using ipad 2.. And accidently update the software.... I am on the road.. How to cancel it,,,,.????

    It's never a good idea to interrupt an iOS update. If it has already started, I would let it continue until done. If it's still *downloading* the update, there *may* be a point after the download finishes where you may be able to cancel it but I'm not sure about that.
    If it has already been updated (downloaded/installed), then no, you cannot go back to the previous iOS version (if this is what you are wanting to do).

  • HT1222 How to restore iphone 4 ?

    Hi,
    I was installing latest IOS 7.04 but unfortunately there was some problem at windows end and installation got stuck.
    I have reinstalled latest version of iTunes but I'm facing a problem in restoring my iphone. Tried 2 times, it downloaded IOS 6.1.3 but installation is not getting started.
    Presently, it's showing just iTunes icon on the screen with USB cable arrow.
    Please help, how can I restore the iphone and start using it.
    Thanks in advance

    Connect the device to the computer.
    iTunes should detect a device in recovery mode, if not put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.
    Apple has never provided a supported method to restore to a previous iOS version.  The only supported way to restore a device is to the current iOS version.
