I backed up my Ipone 4s through itunes. however when after I had to restore it to factory settings i then proceeded to restore the backed up files and found that it didn't restore any of my music or apps! is there a way i can get all this back?
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. -
What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?iOS: Unable to update or restore

When i plug it into the computer, Windows opens and says Found new hardware. Apple device in recovery mode. Then asks if i want to install software that it doesnt have. iTunes doesnt open at all. If I open iTunes, it still doesnt show up anywhere.
Windows can not identify that an iOS device is in recovery mode. Only iTunes can identify that.
What is the EXACT error message you're getting? -
Brand new iPhone 4 (unlocked), got it activated yesterday, and speakers doesn't work, did restore back to factory settings, not luck, any suggestions. This iPhone was purchased in US, currently in India, will Apple support in India?
There are many threads on this forum regarding speaker not working issues. You might try searching them. Hopefully you'll find the answer you need.
BTW, the iPhone only has ONE speaker. -

i had blackberry desktop manager on my work computer and use to sync with outlook perfectly. 2 weeks ago i did a backup then sync as normal. i lost over half of my 600+ contacts and alot of calander listings on my phone. tried to sync again from computer to phone and lost more contacts and calander listings. so i tried to restore from the backup and lost more data. i reinstalled software from the cd i recieved last year when i purchased the 8530. the desktop software would not find outlook and would not sync. i deleted softwaqre and just downloaded new blackberry desktop software. it still will not find outlook on my computer and will not sync.
any suggestions what i may be doing wrong on getting software to find and sync with outlook?Hey Bryanw,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
Thank you.

I'm waiting for the new phones to replace my ancient one. But I'm trying to upgrade the software. It gives me a message saying I need to use the computer I sync my apps to - if I use this computer I'll lose all my apps. but I AM using the computer I use to sync my apps. HELP!
Try right clicking your phone's name on the iTunes sidebar and click tranfer purchases (you need to have iTunes set for you to manually mange your media to do this, I think). Also be sure to create a backup just incase what I said earlier works and you being updating without one.

I recently restored my iPad to its factory settings, and upon restart the iPad sim card was locked and the device was asking for a PUK code. I have no idea what to do next. Can someone please help me? I've had my iPad for over 3 years now, and I am lost! I am sure I can figure this out without having to call any service provider, because the iPad should work on just wifi alone, I never had it set up for 3G even though it is an available option on my device.
Thank you to anyone who can help!All you can do is connect the iPod to a computer and try to get the music off using a third-party program like the free iFunBox. However, if the iPod's screen says disable or when you connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes it asks for the passcode to be entered on the iPod and you can't do that you will not be able to get anything off the iPod unless a data recovery company can do that.

Had to restore cpu to factory settings and itunes library was lost. help!
I had to restore my cpu running, windows xp, to the factory settings and my entire itunes library was lost. I uploaded these songs from cd's I owned and then sold these cd's. the version of itunes on my cpu is about five years old, the ipod software needs to be reloaded and the ipod software version is on 7 something. I am worried that if I load the ipod software and download the latest version of itunes that the library will sync the ipod to its content, which is nothing, and I will lose all my prized music. Please advise how I can transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes library under the stated conditions. Thank you for your help
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

I purchased an audiobook from itunes on my ipod yesterday. Following an unsuccessful update on the ipod today I had to restore factory settings and the audiobook has gone. How do I get it back without paying for it again?
Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

My foster parents don't like me that much so they took my phone that I paid for with my own hard earned money and got it turned off. Well I took it back and reset it and took the sim card out because I paid for that phone I should have it.
I suspect your foster parents love you more than you realize but they took the phone away because you've done something they don't approve of. I suggest you have a talk with them.

I have an oritinal iPad and need to restore it to factory settings. I've followed the instuctions from the reset menu. When it powers back up it takes me to a screen indicating I need to attach it to iTunes. The iPad was loaned to me so I did not have a need to back it up. Can anyone help me restore the settings without connecting to iTunes?

When you reset to factory settings, you erased all content and settings. That restored it to factory settings except that it kept the latest iOS update.
The person who loaned it to you can connect it to iTunes on their computer. They will be given the option to restore from their backup.
