I accidentally synced my iPhone with old iPod settings and I can't get my old iPhone settings back, what can I do
I attached my new iPhone to my iTunes account for the first time and it came up with an option to sync my old iPod touch settings with my new iPhone. Thinking this would mean that it would transfer all my music and pictures from my old iPod to my new I clicked it. So now my iPhone is all screwed up with no music, no contacts, and my old pictures. How do I get it back to my old settings? Or at least clear everything and start over with my iPhone settings.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that is used for syncing with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the other iOS device. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone - not many hours or days later after significant use.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Whatever you had selected for transferring music with your iPod Touch now applies with your iPhone. If you had/have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes, the same music in your iTunes library selected to be transferred to your iPod Touch should have been transferred to your iPhone. This occurs after the backup is transferred. All content that was on your iPhone is now gone - replaced with the backup for your iPod Touch.
To start over as a new iPhone, you need to restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup. After the iOS is re-installed, select as a new iPhone for the restore option.

one of my friend updated her iPhone with my apple id and now her contacts are inside my iPhone , she has deleted my contact which has been i her contact , how can i bring back my contact ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone. -

An iPod backup can only be restored to another iPod.
What information are you needing to take off and sync to the iPhone?
You will need to import photos to the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
You can transfer all iTunes purchases to the iTunes library: connect to iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from iPod
You will want to sync contacts, calendars to the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 -
Please I want to know what can I do to pair my iPhone to my VW as the car says that the phone is not compatible and I tried other phones and it worked very good.
ThanksYou must change or bluetooth module to a more recent one. It's under the passanger seat.
I use this one: 5N0 035 730D. It works great on with the iPhone. You can even play musics from the iphone to the radio (on RCD 510 or RNS 510) wirelessly, using BT-Audio.
I think you can buy it on ebay. It's relatively cheap.
BTW, is your board computer red or white? If it's red there is no bluetooth module comptible with your car and the iPhone. It must be white. -

this is the error it gives me :/ how will i go about deleting my old iphone if i dont have it??
This should clear up on its own and allow you to delete the account, however it can take 3-5 days before this happens.

How
Contact the iTunes store support people at expresslane.apple.com (it will be via email), provide them with the date of purchase, the transaction # (from your purchase history), and they will likely regrant the download. You could also try accessing the purchases tab on your device, and try the download again.

I have an Iphone with one Apple ID and have just bought a new mac book pro. How can I syn calendar from mac book with Iphone if the two devices have different apple IDs?
No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

im looking for help. my kids were playing with my ipod touch and somehow managed to get it disabled for 22,582,766 minutes. my original computer crashed and i have a new one but i cannot get my itunes to recognize it. please help
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.

If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:

If you have a Mac, then use this article instead:

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -
Hi, I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone to use as well, will I be able to use them both from the same computer or will there be some problems?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPods, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. See this article for different ways to manage multiple devices.

I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
