I needed to update the software on my iPhone4 so I could get icloud to save all my stuff so I can upgrade to iPhone 5, but when I did it did a restore and now all my stuff is in my library on itunes and I can't access it

I had to update the software on my iphone 4 so I could get icloud and backup everything on my phone, so I can go this morning and get an iphone 5, but when I did it did a restore and took everything off my phone, like aps, pictures and music.  They are in the itunes library, but I dont know how to get them back on my phone.  It only allows me to sync with my phone, which is empty???
Can anyone help me?

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

    You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

    Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.

    If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

    I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5,  I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software.  Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established".  This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
    Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
    Will I be able to update the software?

    look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
    makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

  • I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it.

    I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it. How do I fix this?

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

  • My ipod touch says I need to update the software in order to access iTunes for apps, but iTunes says I have the most current version.  What do i do?

    I have an iPod touch.  When I try to download an app, it says I need to update the device's software to access the iTunes store.  But, when i connect to iTunes, it says I have the most current version.  I'm stuck.  My mother got this iPod as free-with-purchase when she bought her desktop.  She used it, then gave it to me.  Could this be the problem? because she connected it to her iTunes and now it won't work on mine?  When I first plugged it into my iTunes, it said the iPod was registered to another account and did I want to sync it with my account, to which I said yes.  So far, this iPod has been useless to me because I can't download any apps to it.  Help, please.

  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

  • I have a Macbook 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo) and I need to update the software. What software should I buy snow leopard, lion, maverick?

    I need to update my Macbook as many applications do not run in my computer.
    It's a Macbook 10..5.8 Intel Core 2 Duo, with graphics X3100.
    I don't want to loose money, so I need to know if I have to buy first the Snow Leopard and then going for the Lion or others, or if I can buy directly Lion...
    What would you recommend_
    Thank you!

    Yes.  Neil's is the right approach. 
    In my view, Snow leopard is an excellent OS for that model comnputer.   You must remember that many programs that are part of Leopard and Snow Leopard would be lost if you went higher, and that is if you could go higher.
    The DVD you will buy is 10.6.3 and will need updating to 10.6.8, plus the Combo updater to clear the needs for the best security.   Snow leopard does not appear to be supported now.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
