I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up??? My ipod won't let me delete any photos, or download any apps, so I turned it off and back on when the itunes and usb symboyl appeared I just download Itunes, and i can only restore it, Will it delete everything?!?!

Yes, you need to restore. Here is how:
Plug your iPod into a computer with iTunes
Go into your iPod's section on the bar on the left hand side of iTunes
Click restore
Confirm the restore with the dialog boxes that pop up.
When it is done, if you have a recent backup of your iPod in iTunes, you can tell it to use it.

HT4137 if i restore my ipod will i lose all of my pictures ?

If I restore my ipod will I lose all of my pictures ?

Yes, unless you create a backup of your iPod before you restore it via iTunes. See here for what is included in the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
And information on how to backup your device.
iOS: How to back up
If these were synced photos, they won't be included in the backup that you can make via iTunes or iCloud, but since they originally were synced from your PC, they should still be there.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

HT1414 If I do a complete restore will it delete all my personal data like credit card info etc

.if I do a complete restore will it delete all my personal details including credit card details ? That is what I want to do.

To my knowledge your CC infomation is not on the iPod but on an Apple server. To make a blank iPod I would g to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
If you restore you iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes, your iPod willbe signed into the account that iTunes is signed into.

If i update my ipod will it delete all my music as it is from various computers?

I have a 32GB iPod touch and when I plug it into the computer, it says an update is available. I manually manage my music so that I can take music from my laptop and the other computers in my house as well. If I update my ipod to this newer version will all my music be deleted? If it does that I don't want to update because I have music on there from old computers which are no longer available. I have heard of similar problems happening to other people which is why i have this query.
When i plug my iPod in, it says 'A new iPod software version (5.11) is available for the iPod. Would you like to update your ipod now?' I click update and it says 'Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPod touch. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music, videos, and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple.'
thanks.

Have you tied restoring from backup? If you go to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences, does the date of the backup correspond to before you had you problem?

Why did Firefox reset itself and delete all my bookmarks and favorites and how can i restore all my important information ? thank you .

Hello , this is what happen ! I turned on my Desktop from being in sleep mode and as it came on Firefox restored everything and made me lose all my settings and all my toolbar favorites and bookmarks , all my work was on here and all the compan y's I have dealt with in automobile restorations .
I tried a system restore from a date of a week ago but nothing came back , I really need someones help to restore my Favorites .I would also like the other version of firefox I feel lost with the version I have now and I dont like change .
Thank you .

Click on "Bookmarks" in your "Menu Bar".
Next click on "Show All Bookmarks"
The Library Dialog will open to you bookmarks. At the top of the dialog will be the option to "Import and Backup". Click "Import and Backup" scroll down to "Restore", when your hovers over "Restore" a list of backed up bookmarks should appear. If not, quite possibly Firefox has not been saving backups.
You can also manually save bookmark backups from the "Show All Bookmarks" portion of the Library by clicking "Import and Backup", and then "Backup..."
Also if you open another tab, you can type "about:config" in the address bar and press <ENTER>. This opens options not normally accessible. The first time it gives you a warning, you can disable the warning or leave it in place for the next the you open "about:config".
In the Search Bar type "bookmarks" and press <ENTER> . A list of attributes should narrow down to a few attributes about bookmarks. Look for "browser.bookmarks.max_backups" see what value is set... it should be set to "10". It sets the maximum number of automatic updates. To change it to a different value double click that attribute and increase/decrease just don't go overboard. Also you can delete older backups, just be careful. My bookmarks are listed with the newest ones first.

I have deleted all my photos from my mac, how can I transfer them from my iphone4 or iPad back to my mac

Can anyone help? I have by mistake deleted all of my photos on my Mac. I want to transfer the library from my iphone 4 or my ipad back to my Mac.

There is no syncing process to move synced photos from an iOS device back to a computer.
If you have only a small amount of photos you can email them to yourself.
There are third party applications available online, some free and some at cost that will pull pictures off your device and back to the computer if your number of photos is great.
In the past I have user PhoneView with great success.

I have deleted all pictures that were in trash; how can I recover these files?

my kids might have deleted all the pictures and videos from my mac book; I was cleaning my mac and emptied the trash without checking the details and lost all the pictures and videso. Please advise if there is a way I can recover/restore these files, without shelling a lot of money for purchasing third party tools.

Buy a couple backup drives. Clone your drive(s) with Carbon Copy Cloner, gives you a bootable backup / can archive files as well. And to be redundant you want two backup sets. So have at least one TimeMachine backup running also.
Data Rescue 3 - demo
But, the more you use your system the less likely to find any. And you do need a drive to recover to.
Time to go shopping for one or two disk drives at minimum. Say USB3 or something. Try Amazon for bare drives and cases. Try OWC for kits.

My iPhone keeps deleting all my contacts. I have all of them in the iTunes backup but after a few seconds I open my phone they are being deleted. I think that's because I deleted all my contacts from iCloud. How can I keep them after I backup?

So how can I backup again on my iPhone and the contacts remain there?

Restore from itunes backup and turn on airplane mode before they gone. Turn off contacts under settings - icloud.
turn off airplane mode. Delete icloud account. Sign back in and merge contacts.

When you restore via iTunes all your synced media like apps and music have to be in your iTunes library. The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media.
