I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?
You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

the iphone 4s is disabled - it says "connect to itunes". When I connect to itunes, I get the message "itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes"....the phone is disabled because the wrong passcode was typed in too many times and when I try to go to itunes, it won't connect the phone because the phone is locked, so how do I unlock the phone since it's disabled???
You can restore the iPhone from backup on the last computer your iPhone synced with, this will allow you to reset the passcode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414. If you do not have access to the last computer the phone synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device, all data on the phone will be erased http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?
Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer. -
I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for
Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

I created a folder in my photostream on my iphone but I can not see the folder on my iPad 1. My wife does see the folder on her iPad 3. Is there anything I can do for my older iPad?
If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream. If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

I have changed my AppleID but I can't get the "system preferrences" to show my new AppleID. What am I doing wrong? I am running 10.9.2. I support multiple devices on this icloud account and they all work fine. Its just the mac mini ...
I found a post with the answer. Basically I just logged out of the iCloud. My concern was that I would loose my contacts. But when i logged back in with the correct AppleID -- it was all there.
Thanks! -
Move all my music to another folder but Itunes can't find the files!
I have all my music on my desktop in small folders for each artist.
But now i don't have room anymore, because i have to much music.
So i want to move it all in to a folder called "Music". But when i do that
Itunes can't find the files, and i have to search for each file, to find the new location instead of the desktop. How do i move my music more easily? So i don't have to synchronize it all in again, with the right album covers and that..
Please, need some help here!You need to open your preferences file in iTunes and click on advance then select the location of where you put the folder. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Dear reader,
i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing...

Trying to restore, but iTunes can't find the iPod software
iTunes tells me my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be re-set to factory settings. When I click the "Restore" button, I get an iTunes error box that says "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resources was not found". I don't know what to do from here.
I've been through lots of different steps. First, my PC wouldn't even recognize the iPod. So, I changed the settings to get around the hub being automatically powered down. Now the computer recognizes the iPod and iTunes tries to connect to it, but says it has detected a corrupted iPod.
The iPod was working fine a few weeks ago, but when the iPod froze up, my son tried to re-set it and ended up erasing everyting. It has been stuck in this mode ever since then.
Help!I was able to find an answer by looking at a reply to another user's question. The first step (described in my first posting) was to get Windows to recognize the "corrupted" iPod as a drive. This require me to make a change in the device manager for Windows. Here's the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343 This fixed the first problem so that Windows started recognizing the iPod as an unidentified drive.
Next, I needed to reformat the drive. This is where the help from the other posting came in handy. I had to go into "My Computer" and select the iPod "drive". Then, I clicked on "File" and "Format". I deselected both quick format and enable compression and let Windows reformat the drive. After this, iTunes was able to recognize the drive the next time I opened the program. iTunes then prompted me to restore the drive to factory settings and it worked perfectly. I hope this will be helpful to someone else. Good luck! -
