I attempted to upgrade to iOS6 and received an error with a command to restore!? What do I do? I don't want to lose all my apps and details!
Is there anything I can do NOT to lose my apps and info?
This is the last straw! If I lose my apps I say bye bye to Apple!
This is why it said on your phone, before it started to update to ensure you have backed up. There is no way arround the restore. This issue normall comes from the iPhione loosing charge during update or the update being corrupted during the download. The software your iPhone is having right now is inoperable and needsto be reinstalled. You'll be able to redownload all your Apps for free again, should they still be available in the appstore. But all the rest of your data must be on your Computer or iCloud, or you to load them onto your phone again.

I just connected my iPod after opening iTunes to make a playlist and repeatedly have gotten the message that 'iTunes has detected an iPod that might be corrupted." I can either disconnect and try again, which I've done multiple times to no avail, or restore. I don't want to lose the dozens of playlists, so do I have any options that anyone knows of?
Thank you.What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
I updated my iphone 5 and now it is telling me to be able to work i had to connect it to itunes and itunes it telling me that i have to restore my iphone. what can i do? i dont want to lose all my pictures and stuff like that.
Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed. -
i was in the middle of updating my ipad and of course the battery died, the computer doesnt charge up the ipad while plugged in (very stupid) and now it wants to restore i don't want to lose all my trophies in the games that ive played if i do a restore....can anyone help me
If you backed up the iPad before you tried to update, you can restore the iOS and then restore from the backup. If you don't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do about it now.
You will have to restore the iPad in order to make it operational again and you will lose all of your data. If you don't sync with iTunes and cannot recover your media again that way, you can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. -
My iPod has the image of the usb conector and an arrow pointing to the ITunes's symbol. It says it needs to restore. I have been using it for 5 days. What do I need to do? Please answer <:)

After upgrade, attempted to open iPhoto to upload pictures from camera. Message says need to upgrade library and that after upgrade previous library will be unreadable. In holding pattern for now-don't want to lose all 4K prev pictures in iphoto library. Anyone have same or similar problem?
gotitans, I think you have an entirely different problem than we are discussing in this thread.
You should open your own thread, and you should describe your problems in more detail. For example, what type of Mac do you have, what operating system does it run, what version of iPhoto did you have running before the upgrade,and just what sort of upgrade did you do (hardware, operating system, iPhoto, something else)?
My best guess from just that message is that you did a hardware upgrade, and your version of iPhoto is too old to run on the new hardware.
ntgerh64, it would probably be good if you gave us the same details I asked of gotitans. I was assuming you were talking about upgrading OS X to Mavericks and then iPhoto to 9.5 or 9.5.1. -
've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -

My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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. -
I was loading the latest software update to "fix bugs and security issues" and my phone went into "recovery mode". I've never seen this before. I plugged it into iTunes as shown on the screen of my phone and it says "Iphone in recovery mode detected" and suggested resetting the phone to factory settings. I don't want to lose all my data so is there another way to fix it? All help will be appreciated!
Sorry, whatever data you had on your phone has been wipe off already, since your phone is in recovery mode.
You will need to restore your phone. Then if you have a backup, you can choose that backup to restore from, if you have no backup, your only option is to sync contents from iTunes. -

You have already lost it at this stage
but you have a backup of course -
I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode. I am thoroughly confused now after researching online. I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help! Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??
Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
The good news part only happens if you had a backup. -

Removing spaces between footnotes in Pages
New to Pages, so this may just be a setting I've missed. I've got pages with several footnotes and the spaces between the footnotes, though nice, are not considered to be the "proper" format. How do I remove this space so they're more blocks of text?
