HT1414 I forgot my password and I Don't want to loose my data
I forgot my ipad password and is disabled i dont want to loose data in my ipad who can i get it to work with out loosing data?
There is no other way than restoring. Back up manually by right clicking on your phone in the device list before you start, to make sure you have an actual backup.
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I've forgotten my iPad password but I don't want to loose the data on it!
the computer its synced with is broken and wont turn on! is there anyway i can get into the ipad? the last photos of my late grandfather are on there and i really don't want to loose them!
if it is less than 10 attempts, the device sometimes say you can try agin after 8 hours. So if your remember the password you can put it then. Else, the last resort is really to rest the device.....

Hi,
I've recently replaced my iphone 5 and I couldn't restore my data into my new phone, as it asked me to do the software upgrade on itunes in my computer. So, I did the itunes upgrade, which is now causing the Runtime error R6034. I wonder if I would loose my data (i.e., can't restore the data into my new phone), if I follow the uninstalling & re-installing steps. Plz advice, as how this runtime error can be fixed and at the sametime, I will still be able to restore my data into my new phone.Suresh14 wrote:

Uninstalling & Re-installing iTunes will not delete your iTunes Library Data.
Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator. -
My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?
It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
My music goes to iCloud and I don't want to use my data to download it continuously. How do I keep it on my device and out of iCloud?

WE are travelling and it seems every time I want to listen to music it's on iCloud and not my device. I find a wifi connection and download the songs them bam next time they are back on iCloud!
iTunes purchases are always on iCloud. They don't get uploaded there. They are simply there because you purchased them.
When you first purchqse, iTunes (computer or phone) should download them. If they are not downloaded, you will see the cloud icon. -

That was not smart.
Activation Lock can NOT be bypassed.
Reset the password for the Apple ID that was initially used on the device. http://iforgot.apple.com -
Google is trying to force me to change my password and I don't want to
Google used to send me warnings 3 or 4 months back... suspicious activity on my google account. I seem to ave been hacked for a very long time, years, in fact. Nobody can tell me what to do. The hackers seem to operate in 'real time' and in some cases, from the same location (ex. a hotel) that I am in. Somebody told me this is called 'shadowing'. (I'm not 'stalked'.) Now google has stopped me logging in and say I MUST change my password. I don't want to, cos I'm sure this move is useless, and I'm also worried that the change WILL NOT open my email anyway. I'm afraid of that, cos it could be hackers who are impersonating google. I experienced heavy hacking event several years ago, the techie almost couldn't save my inbox; he couldn't believe it himself. (Massive instability and login problems. He finally managed to stabilize after about 90 mins.) The hackers are quite sophisticated. I often used to get a message from google when signing out, saying that 'other people are logged onto this site and closing down now could cause them to lose data.' Recently I get a very quick flashed message when shutting down; it seemed to come from google (chrome?) downloads and it shows a liitle man cartoon figure falling, and it says, 'He's dead, Jim', and hints that my google drive is out of space, or similar. It only lasts a second or less. Is that normal? I checked much on google troubleshooting, no use!
I don't know if there's anything you can do to avoid changing your google password if google wants you to. Do the password reset options come up on the web, or are sent to your recovery email? The "He's dead Jim" icon isn't normal unless you are out of google drive space. Depending on your usage.. Most people don't use that much of their 15 gigs.
Also some things you could do:
-Scan your computer for Malware (I'm sure you've done this multiple times but the more the merrier. I use [https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Malwarebytes] .
-Remove cookies (Just in case thats the way they are getting your password, even though it sounds like they have a different way)

NEW PC and I don't want to loose my stuff but want to add more ??
Hey,
Can anyone help ??
I got a new laptop and I want to add new music and videos to my iPhone, but I don't want to have to loose all the stuff on there now. If I loose it I won't get it back.Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
This will prevent any iTunes content on your iPhone from being erased with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.
You need to transfer your iTunes library to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. -
Help! My iPod is corrupted and i don't want to lose my data.
When i connect my iPod to PC its screen normally shows "do not disconnect" and it's charging, but when iTunes starts it only reports: "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting iPod." i tried reconnecting iPod many times, rebooting system even reinsalling iTunes but with no effect. When i try to open iPod disc from My Computer it only says that: "this disc is not formatted, would you like to format it now?"
I just don't know what to do... Is there any chances i can fix this problem some other way that using the "restore" option in iTunes and losing all my data? Some of them are priceless to me. Please help.
Athlon XP 1700+ Windows XP ProGenerally, if you need to Restore, the data is pretty much gone on the iPod.
ve got there some important data which i don't want to lose
And since this data is important, you do have it on the computer and backed up on CD/DVD also, correct? -
I forgot my iPod passcode and it's snyced to my computer but it is saying I have to put the passcode in before I do anything. I don't know what to do.
You are out of luck. You have to restore and thus erase the iPod.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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 -
Today I wanted to download an application and they asked me my security questions. I answerd them but didn't wrote them right, i'm not sure in wich lenguage I wrote them -_-.
I looked on the apple support to know to get them I saw that I have an other email adresse that I can use to get them back but the only problem is that this email adresse is an old email adresse that I had as student and it didn't exist any more.
I don't know what possibility I have to get these passwords back.
If someone of you had the same problem or know how to solve this problem I would be very happy

IPad 2 went in Recovery Mode and I don't want to lose my data
Well, hello.
I have a big problem with my iPad2. From the begining: I wanted to update the iOS to 7.1.2. The progress bar appeared and I left it like that. When I returned, it showed me that I have to connect the device to iTunes. When I did this, it said that I have to restore it. The big problem is that I don't have any back-up of my iPad. I had, but my old laptop broke and I can't open it anymore. So I got a new laptop (Windows 8) and never connected the iPad to it, only now, when it is in Recovery Mode and... I tried to hold the Home+Wake up button both pressed in the same time, but still no change: the Apple logo appears only for a few seconds and it goes back to the Recovery Mode screen. I also downloaded TinyUmbrella from here: http://tinyumbrella.en.lo4d.com/ but nothing happened (it appeared something like TinyUmbrella: Verifying libraries, reticualting something). I also contacted the service in my country, but they said that nothing can be done, I have to restore it and, by this, erase all the data on it. Please, is there any way in which I can save the data? I'm more than desparateYes, I know... I discovered now that I have saved the photos I wanted from it long time ago (for the same reasons, i didn't wanted to lose them). So I'm kind of saved. Also it has been like crap because the laptop where I had my backups is as dead as can be. That was the moment when I panicked. From now on... I'll back-up it everyday. Thank you a lot!

My old iTunes computer is dead, but all my music is still on one of the first versions of the IPod. Can I transfer my music library to my iPad. I believe my iPad is the first one that was released.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Trying to update iPhone but my computer doesn't have enough memory and I don't want to loose media.
Trying to update iPhone but my computer doesn't have enough memory for backup. It says I will loose all media off phone if I proceed. What do I do?
I think you misunderstand... iCloud backups are stored in the cloud and not on the PC. So, if you do an iCloud backup, it won't take up room on the PC.
But, if you want to transfer the iTunes purchases over, set up Home Sharing. Also, see this link.
