I restored my ipod settings to my iphone by mistake. How do I revert this change?

(Sorry for the caps in advance! )I set up my iPOD with itunes a few years ago. My boyfriend has his iphone set up on itunes as well. When I plugged my iPHONE into the computer for the first time it gave me a drop down menu to as to which phone I want to restore to. Not reading it properly, I selected my old iPOD instead of my iPHONE (I didn't have an itunes account set up at this stage for my iPHONE) I should have set up a new account but I didn't .
Anyhow, when the restore went through, I realised that everything that was on my iPOD was now on my iPHONE and everything that was on my iPHONE was gone. I have loads of photos and contacts but mainly photos that I want to get back on it. I went to a help centre article (I'll try find it again) and it said that I should have the most up to date version of ios as step one. So I downloaded the most recent version of ios but I still have all my IPOD stuff.
Anyone know a way to get back my photos?
Thanks in advance!

If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll first, the photos and any other data that was unique to your iPhone is gone.
The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or selected iOS device, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone, not days, weeks, or months later.
When choosing the former, a backup for the iPhone is not created first.
Had you chosen the latter, no data on your iPhone would have been touched.

i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks

HT4859 every time I try to restore my ipod it does not work...how come?

every time I try to restore my ipod it does not work...how come?

The only way to clear off the passcode is to restore the device. You could always try the restore process on another computer that has iTunes just to get the iPod working again, then you could plug it back into your comptuer to sync all of his content back on the iPod.

Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone. Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean? I don't recall changing anything...

To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer.
If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message. If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.

The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:

first time you connect it to the computer you sync the iphone with it should ask if you want to setup the ipad as a new device or restore it with a backup of another ios device
if you say yes the content of tne iphone will be put on the ipad
if you later one wish to do the same thing one can restore it by navigating to the ipad in itunes on the computer and choose to restore it there to the backup of the iphone
if you don't want to restore then you can just mark the apps in itunes you wish to sync to the ipad
if you don't sync with a computer then you can't be charged for an app more then once it's tied to your appleID and any attempt to buy it again will result in a free download
one can also access apps tied to the ios device under purchasees in the app store app

I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change?

I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account. It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me. I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod. I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up. thanks for asking.
