HT201263 I dont want to restore it though i just want it to go back to the way it was

I tried to update my iphone and its stuck in recovery mode and i dont want to recover it i just want it to go back to the way it was

The onlhy way is to do exactly what it's prompting you to do..recover it.  You can then restore the more recent backup to get things back to how you wan them.

  • I tried to make a second library, but my first one was deleted so I did it again but now I have doubles of every song. How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was before I tried to make a 2nd library?

    Like I said I tryed to make another library, I did what Itunes told me to do but it only erased the library I had and made a new one. So I did it again but I now have duplicates of every song. How do I get my it back to the way it was, before I tried to make a second library?

    C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes should be the original library. You should be able to connect to it as follows.
    Close iTunes, wait a few seconds, click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the file C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Depending upon exactly what you did this has either restored your library, or done absolutely nothing at all. That was the reason for asking you to check using the script.
    Assuming you still have a library full of dupes there are a number of ways to go. I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates which I discuss in some detail in this  thread. While it should work it will be ideal if it discards the copies that are outside the media folder C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes\iTunes Media. I've a feeling it will do exactly that, but it depends in part on exactly you got into this mess. It would be worth doing a few sample runs of just a few sets of duplicate files first.

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

  • How do I restore tab behavior back to the way it was in FF 3.5??

    I just upgraded to FF 3.6.13, I generally wait to upgrade until any new bugs have been identified and corrected. In FF 3.5, when I opened a new tab from a link, the new tab appeared to the right of the current tab (NOT at the very end of the tab bar) and the focus STAYED ON THE CURRENT TAB. If I opened multiple new tabs, they each opened to the right of the previously opened new tab, as in <original tab sequence> Yahoo Facebook GMail MyBlog <New tab sequence after opening links> Yahoo Facebook NewFBLink1 NewFBLink2 NewFBLink3 NewFBLink4 GMail MyBlog, with the focus remaining on the CURRENT TAB (in this example Facebook, from which I was opening the links). In 3.6.13, the tabs SOMETIMES open to the right of the current tab, sometimes at the end of the tab bar, and no matter how I fiddle the settings, I cannot make them CONSISTENT. Have tried the extensions 'Tab Mix Plus' and 'New Tab at End' - these do not give me consistent behavior - sometimes they do as I wish, sometimes not. In addition, sometimes the focus stays on the current tab (which is what I want) - sometimes the focus changes to the new tab just opened, sometimes it stays on the current tab until I've opened 3 or 4 new tabs, then jumps to one of the new ones. In the 'options', I do NOT have 'when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately' checked; yet sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. HOW do I achieve consistent behavior?? This is why I don't upgrade often. Very frustrating. I have not changed any plugins, other than trying Tab Mix Plus and New Tabs at End after upgrading to 3.6.13, once I realized that the tab behavior was not consistent. How can I go back to FF 3.5 ???

    First of all, sometimes Extensions can interfere with one another. That '''''<u>MAY</u>''''' be the case with your using both Tab Mix Plus and New Tabs at End. They both have a function that you can set for where new tabs appear. TMP has options concerning focus on new tabs.
    My suggestions are:
    #Un-install New Tabs at End (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, click New Tabs at End, click Uninstall, then exit and restart Firefox).
    #*If using no other extension that affect where tabs appear (to the right of current tab or at end of all open tabs), a simple preference change can affect that change for you, <u>and you have one less extension to be concerned with</u>. I have also made this change as TMP did not have the Focus options to do this when the "new tab at end" feature first appeared or when I first started using the version of Firefox in which this feature appeared:
    #*#Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
    #*#*See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
    #*#If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
    #*#Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
    #*#Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
    #*#Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
    #*#Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
    #*#See: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/02/01/change-firefox-to-open-new-tab-at-far-right-end-of-tabbar-disable-insert-next-to-current-active-tab/
    #Tab Mix Plus settings
    #*Open the Tab Mix Plus Options (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, click Tab Mix Plus, click Options)
    #*Click on Events > Tab Opening
    #*#Place a check mark before "Open new tabs next to current one"
    #*#I have checked "Open other tabs next to current one"
    #*##I have un-checked "Only if related to current tab"
    #*##I have un-checked "Change opening order"
    #*#I have checked "Open duplicated tabs next to original"
    #*Click Events > Tab Focus
    #*#If you ALWAYS want to stay on the current tab and let the new tabs open in the background, un-check everything. These selections will/should over-ride Tools > Options > Tabs, "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
    See if the above changes give you the results you are seeking. Tab Mix Plus has lots of options. You may need to change one or two settings at a time until it behaves the way you desire. Keep track of the changes you make so that you can easily re-trace/re-set when the results are not what you want.

  • Itunes backed my phone up to a previouse phone settings, how can I restore my phone back to the way it was an hour ago?, Itunes backed my phone up to a previouse phone settings, how can I restore my phone back to the way it was an hour ago?

    How can I restore my Iphone 4 to a previous setting? I lost all messages and contacts when my itunes restored to a previous phone settings at a much earlier date.

    If it is in recovery mode, there is nothing to do but restore.  It is too late to salvage data on the device.

  • Please help. Ipod has black battery and keeps saying need to restore via Itunes.. but when I restore it goes back to the way it was...

    Please can somebody help me.
    My iPod keeps saying I need to connect to iTunes and restore.
    I have done that, but then it says it has been restored and then reverts back again to same message.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty.  No matter how many time you Restore it, iTunes sees something wrong with the iPod's storage the next time, and asks you to Restore it again.
    There is one more thing I can think of, that you can try.
    Put the iPod into Disk Mode again.  With iTunes NOT running, reformat the iPod's disk like it was an external drive, using the Windows command.  Make sure you are selecting the iPod's disk for formatting.  Select the format type of "FAT."  If there is an option for a "quick" format, do not use it; do a "full" format.  If there is a physical problem on the hard drive, this formatting attempt may fail.  If it succeeds, run iTunes and do another Restore.  (Even if it does not prompt you this time, you need to do a Restore so that iTunes can re-install the iPod's onboard software.)

  • Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

    I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

    hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

  • After updating and installing an icloud update for my 4th gen itouch, itunes crashed and doesnt recognize my new iphone, or any of my previous devices.  All of my songs are gone too.  How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was?

    Please Help.  Has anyone else experienced this crash? I spoke to support, and they hinted that this might be a common problem.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • In website, Firefox will not go to the next screen. Instead I have to click 'allow'. This is on sites where I never had this problem. I want it back to the way it was.

    On sites that I have been using for many months with no problem, when I click to go to the next screen (like 'continue'), it doesn't go to the screen. I get a bar and have to click 'Allow'. This is happening continuously on screens where it didn't do it before. If it were occasional I wouldn't mind. But it happens all the time. What was changed in Firefox to cause this problem. It has really been a pain paying bills online.

    What is the message to the left of the Allow button? Hopefully with that information we can advise on changes to your settings to resolve the issue.
    You also could supply a URL of a site that has this problem, assuming we don't need an account to check it out.

  • My husband has a 4s. He hadn't synced phone in a long time. I did the sync on his ipad first, then i phone.  am now missing contacts from iphone. any way to restore back to the way it was b4 I performed sync?

    My husband has a 4S.  He hadn't performed a sync in a long time.  I sync'd his I Pad first, then the I Phone.  His I Phone is now missing quite a few of his contacts.  Any way to retrieve?

    If the iPad and iPhone contacts are being synced with the same supported address book app on the computer, they should now be the same on each device.
    Is Sync Contacts selected under the Info tab for the iPad and iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Which supported address book app on the computer are contacts being synced with?
    Are the missing contacts available in the supported address book app on the computer?

  • My mac froze and I was in an application. It asked me if i want it on safe mode and I hit yes. Now the app that was running is blurry. How do I get it back to the way it was before?

    Now the application is blurry

    Go to system preferences and select displays. Then make sure the default resolution for your machine is selected. If you don't know what the value is get MacTracker which will have it.

    When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.
