I accidentally set my iPhone 5S as my old iPod touch 4th generation, how do I get my phone back?
I just got an iPhone for the first time and I went to plug it into my mac book air and when I went to sync it I accidently clicked to have it restore as my old 4th Generation iPod touch. well this wiped out my contacts and everything from my iphone. Is there a way to get it back and how do I do it?
Connect the phone to your MacBook again and open iTunes. With your iPhone's summary pane displayed in iTunes, click "Restore Backup." Select a backup made before you restored from the iPod's backup. If no iPhone backups exist before you made the mistake, you cannot recover data unless it was backed up elsewhere (for example, if your contacts were associated with your email account).

I just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation for my daughter. I have a iPhone 5 that is already set up on iTunes. The only thing I want on her iPod from my iTunes is music and apps. How do I set her iPod up so that it only gets that information? Do I set it up as a new device? If so will that alter my iTunes?
Thanks.
llfitYou can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc. -
I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?
Hi jakefrombishop,
If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
1. Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2. Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
3. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
Fingers crossed!

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??
Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

i renewed my subscription on my mac but my iPhone is still asking me to renew the iCloud how do I get my phone to update that i've already renewed?
Hi Randers4 thank you for trying to help. I finally gave up and just called apple. Apparantly my renewel went under my icloud ID while my previous accout was my itunes ID. Never had to match them before but I guess we do now. Once I switched my iphone ID to the ID I used to renew the icloud it backed up. Live and learn.
Thanks again, hope this helps others too. -
I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..
You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer N/a since that is part of iCloud
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

i was updating software and suddenly my IPHONE started asking for I tunes on mobile screen , how can i get by screen back or How i can restore without loosing data , I m more worried about data , Please help in resolutio
What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

Is it ok if I use an old iPod Nano 4th generation charger with my iPhone 4S?
Is it?? Its from the old iPod Nano 4th Generation. Thank you for your help.
P.S.- I use the Apple Wall Charger I got with my iPhone.it's the same AC to DC current since its traveling over USB 2.0 should be fine.

Tried setting up my verizon e-mail account on iPod Touch, 4th generation. Am able to send out e-mail messages but none of my e-mails on my Mac show up in the inbox. Just get the "Checking for Mail" endlessly.
On the iOS array of devices, you need to make sure all of the settings are right. I have found an official Verizon webpage for setting it up on Apple devices right here:

My Iphone has "Activation Required" on my phone, how do I get my phone back working?
You are hosed....
You will need to go to Google to find the best way to get this off of your phone. If you have the beta software but you are not a developer, it means you are running a pirated copy of the iOS, and we can't help you here....
Sorry,

i recently updated my ipod touch 4th generation to version 6.1 and it's awful it didn't restore my music, videos or any of my apps.!!!! it only restored my photos and that's it! im also noticing that it updated as if it was an iphone. help!!!
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. If that media is not in the iTunes library then it is gone after the update/restore.
