You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Error message after syncing

I get the following windows error message after my 80G iPod syncs:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive M:.
I don't have the box checked to enable disk use.
HP Windows XP

I would take it back to the store that you purchased it at and get a refund. Or alternatively, if there is an Apple store near you, take it in there and see what they can do for you. How old is your iPod? If it's been less than a year or you purchased and extended warranty then it shouldn't cost you anything to get it fixed or looked at.

Why do I get an error message after syncing music

After syncing music to my iPhone an error message appears that says ''Heatwave was not copied to the iPhone ''Simon's iPhone'' because it could not be found''
in fact the file called Heatwave is copied to my iPhone and it does play on my phone, so why do I get this message ?
Info
Heatwave is an MP3 file

What computer operating system?
And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
The following is the iTunes' document how to.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

How to restore documents after a clean install when location is not known?

I have had some troubles with my computer recently and the person at the genius bar said I should wipe my drive clean and include everything except my library folders and system folder. The only thing I don't know how to restore is documents that aren't stored in a known location in the finder. What I mean is programs like LittleSnapper or Macjournal that have their files contained with the application (in another words I don't go to the Finder to save or open these documents.)
I did a search for some files from "Things" and it looks like these get stored under the library. Therefore if I choose to not restore the library (like the Genius said) wouldn't I lose access to these files?! LittleSnapper appears to save it's files in a hidden folder on the hard drive called "private". How can I restore that folder if I don't even have access to it?
Do I just export the files from these programs to the finder and then reimport them later? "Things" doesn't even appear to have a way to export it's files that I know of.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

"No program keeps stuff in the private folder."
The reason I thought that is if you open a LittleSnapper screen shot in Photoshop or where ever and then command click on the windows title it shows the private folder on the file's path.
"Before you do reformat, try creating a new user account. See if you're problem still exist within that new user."
Yes I still have the problem with the new user account.

How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

How to restore audio video sync in media file

I captured some clips from my Mini-DV Panasonic PV-GS320. Some clips were in sync but a couple were off. I unlinked audio and video and slid the video later by about 20 frames and it sounded fine. But I need a media source file that I can edit from.
Is there a way to modify the media file or generate a new media file that is in sync? If I export a new movie is there a specific format I should use?
I recorded 12 bit audio and imported it at 32 KHz.

Could the bad ones have been shot at 16bit ?
No. I recorded them all together in one session. All I did was hit the record button on and off. When I tried to capture the entire 30 minute session it crash at the end when doing some audio processing. So I captured it in 3 clips. The middle clip was in sync and the beginning and end clips were not.
I actually have two questions:
1) How can I fix the sync in the broken clips? I have recaptured the clips and get the same out of sync result.
2) How can I avoid this problem in the future?
I have recorded and captured several movies using the same gear and SW and never had this problem before.

IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!

Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

How to restore messages written/received by an old account

I have a user which created a new Account in Mail Preferences, and then removed the old one. Guess what, Mail decided to destroy the associated POP folder in user/Library/Mail/, and all messages in Inbox and Sent mailboxes belonging to this old email disappeard :-/ Not exactly what she wanted....
So we restored the POP folder with TimeMachine. We would like now to import all this old messages in Mail, for example into a new folder in "On my Mac", called "Old Account". Should be easy, right?
But the import procedure doesn't work, and cannot understand why. I selected in Mail the menu File > Import Mailboxes... > "Files in mbox format" and I selected for example the folder with name "Sent Messages.mbox" (including about 500 messages) in the restored POP folder, but the procedure stopped with an error message like "not a mbox format". Hey Mail, you created this folder and now you cannot import it? How to proceed? Thank you.

it would be nice to receive an useful answer...

Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

Hi anyone who can help!
I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
1 - set it up as a new phone
2- upgrade the software
3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
Any help at all much appreciated!
simon

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.
