I just plugged my i phone in and it said to plug to i tunes which then said cant read phone and to restore to original settings, will this wipe my phone or restore to last back up ?
If you restore from back up does it wipe the phone or restore to the last time you backed up ?
You'll need to get a SIM card from the appropriate carrier. It doesn't have to be an active SIM, though.

When I hit my iTunes icon I get an error message that says "this copy is corrupted or not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes".
So, my question is, if I reinstall iTunes will my music library be wiped out?Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now? -

I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?
I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...
I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

My last Time Machine back-up is 45 days old and only of User Account files (not entire HD) and I must now reinstall Lion (via internet) without performing a new back-up. Will any new User Account files, since my last back-up, be lost when Lion reinstalls ?
Reinstalling OS X doesn't affect user data, provided nothing goes wrong. But it would be very unwise to assume that nothing will go wrong, especially if you're having (unspecified) system issues. You should try to back up all data before you reinstall or do anything else. There are ways to do that, even if you're unable to boot.
If your backups include only user files, you won't be able to access them in Setup Assistant. -
what to do if when trying to sync iphone to computer the message appears "itunes cant read content of iphone. restore to factory condition"?
If you're receiving that message, you data are already gone. If you've been using iCloud and backing up your phone as recommended, you should have no data loss. If you have not, well, hard lesson learned. Good luck.

I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account
her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

I bought songs on itunes through my iphone not too long ago. When I went to plug my iphone into my computer to sync, itunes asked me to restore my phone. I backed my phone up, but now i cannot find the songs i purchased through my phone. I've looked for the songs in the itunes store, but it said that i had not purchased any of the songs.How do i get back the songs?
There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

.... everything came through when they transferred my stuff exept my music.
So I hooked up to iTunes at home and restored to get my music. The problem is,
it restored to last backup which was April 2012, now I lost all the stuff from then to now!!!
Very frustrated! Can this be undone?? All I wanted to do was put my music on.You restored to a backup. Backups do not contain music since it is presumed to be saved in your iTunes library. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
You should have synced rather than doing a restore.
Presuming that your music is in your iTunes library you can put it back on your iPhone by syncing with the proper music selected in the iTunes Music tab. -
I updated the itouch today now no calendar, twice in one year, this is ridiculous, how do I get it back?
You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups -
Will I lose everything if I delete my last back up
I got a new 5s two weeks ago and backed it up from my old phone. Now it won't back up due to lack of space. I have deleted and turned items off and this hasn't helped. The only thing left to try is deleting my last back up from my old phone. I want to know if doing so will I lose everything and have to start from scratch or as a new phone and not from last back up!?!? Please help!!
Yes. So back up first if it's something you're considering. Right-click on the device name in iTunes and click Backup. This does not back up media (music, etc), so sync that with iTunes first if it's not already on your computer.

i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?Hello there, Timmayy24.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the information you're looking for:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install

Important: This procedure will completely erase your hard drive. If you have installed Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, or have multiple partitions, this procedure will erase the partition you select.

I am away for a year and have been downloading pictures from my camera - a FUJIFILM EXR compact for the last 15 weeks into files on my mac using IPHOTO no problem...suddenly in the last 2 days I have tried to do this and IPHOTO opens the pictures ok but wont downoad them as they are now JPEG? have I switched something over inadvertently or what - help please!!!! many thanks
sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
hope you can still help me thanks for you time -
I have an old dell desktop and an older ipod with my itunes library....the dell desktop is not functioning as well and have not been able to sync a newer ipod to the library .....i now have a newer Macbook air....i would like to put my library on my Air i tunes....when i attached the ipod to the air to try to sync the ipod library onto the air itunes i received a message that said i was synced with another library and that if i wanted to sync with this library i would need to "erase and sync" ....got spooked as i dont want to lose the library/ or the music....question ----will this procedure put my existing library (which is all on my older ipod) onto my Macbook air itunes?...any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance...
No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).
Ideally:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
