I updated my itouch 2 gen and it erased all games and won't let me download them again

I have a 2 gen itouch for my son. I went to update it and now I've not only lost everything that was working fine on it, I'm unable to download anything from the app store.

Sadly the ios on the 2nd generation ipod touch is to old to run todays apps. It's ios stops at 4.2.1 and you need at least 4.3 or higher. My advise any apps that are still on it don't uninstall them cause you will never get them back. I have a ipod 2nd gen I got from a co-worker I have only 4 apps that aren't default apps. I use it mainly for videos from my itunes library and music. To have the apps of today you need on the outside a 3rd gen but perferably 4th or better yet the 5th gen. The 3rd gen might be able to have a few of todays apps but you are safer getting a 4th or 5th.

I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account. But only some of them have the cloud next to them. The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download. This is the link for contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My iPhone 5s has deleted all of my apps and won't let me download them again, what do I do?

My iPhone 5s ran completely out of charge, then when I charged it again i noticed that all of my apps had been deleted.. I thought that I would be able to re download them however it has deleted them and won't let me open them at all.. What should I do?

Launch the App Store. Tap on Updates. Tap Purchased. Tap "Not on this phone."

When I updated my iphone to ios7, it only lets me access my old apps through the store and won't let me download them again.

How do I redownload/delete them so I can put them back on my phone?

So your'e saying it lets you open the app from the app store? If so, that means it's on your phone somewhere take a better look at your homescreens. It will only let you open an app if it's been previously downloaded to the phone.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?

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. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

I need to erase my I Pad for a sale (have purchased mini I Pad). Do I just push settings and then erase all content and settings. It does warn that all data and settings will be erased is this my personal settings only. It retains the factory settin

EErase the iPad to factory settings

If you want to sell iPad, make sure you erase all content and settings:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.

HT4759 After installing update to new version... All games and apps that were on 6 version now have a cloud with an arrow pointing down next to them.... Upon clicking the cloud a circle rotation appears for a minute then back to the same symbol no change

What does the cloud symbol with arrow pointing down signify? After update to ios7 the majority of games and apps in App Store now have this symbol and upon clicking on a rotating circle appears for a minute ....then gone .... Then back to cloud symbol woth arrow down.... No change?

Hey Smlfamily,
Thanks for the question. It may be best to restore from a back up from before the update. This will restore your applications, as well as the layout of your home screen (the placement of your icons). To do so, see the following (based on if your backup is with iTunes or iCloud):

I have purchased 2 ringtones, and my iPhone keeps erasing them, and won't let me download them for free and I'm very angry.

2 Ringtones that I have purchased keep disappearing off my iPhone and I've already bought them twice, and I'm not buying them again.

Goodbye then.

Updated my itouch gen 4 32g to Ios 5 and now itunes can't find music files

I did a search and could not find anything about my specific issue. I was hoping to get some help if possible.
So I did the update to IOS 5 and everything went fine..........except for one thing. I have all my music stored on an external hard drive so I changed the media folder location to my external drive. When I did the update IOS changed the location to "C:\users\name\music\itunes\itunes media folder". I figured this is why itunes could not find the files. So I switched it back to my external drive and it still could not find my music files. The weird thing is that I can sync it and it won't delete the music from my ipod. All of the music is still on the ipod but not on itunes. I know I can manually go in and find all the folders but I REALLY don't want to have to do that. I have done it before and it took 7 hours. Since I don't use all the files I can't just drag the library over and problem solved.
One other strange thing that happened: After I did the update I downloaded an app off of the the appstore in itunes. This is the first app that I downloaded off of itunes and not straight off my ipod. I then recieved an email from apple saying it had been downloaded on a computer or device not associated with my apple id (which makes no sense seeing how the id on my ipod is the same as on itunes).
If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix the music problem, I am all ears. Thanks.

Once a track is in your iTunes library, you should not touch it except through iTunes. But I guess you know that now.
iTunes, to answer your question, cannot "refresh." If you re-add those files to your library, iTunes is unable to match them with the existing library entries, and will create a bunch of duplicate entries. This is a longstanding shortcoming of iTunes (and the source of lots of traffic on this fourm).
If there are "too many to manually" reassociate, then starting over, in the sense of deleting and then re-adding, may be a good plan.

Have you checked the Mute switch on the left side above the volume buttons? And tried raising the volume with the buttons?

I switched to manually manage music and now the eroor says i am synced to another itunes library "Admin" and all existing content on the phone will be replaced with content from the Itunes library.

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I set up an iCloud account, and it erased ALL of my contacts, how do I get them back?

I just now set up an iCloud account, and when I went to my messages, I saw that there were no contacts, just all numners. So I went to my contacts, and it turns out that there are none. How do I get them back? I'm freaking out!

So when setting up the iCloud account and it asked if you wanted to import the contacts on the device, what did you tell it to do?

Keeps telling me to leave USA and go to UK but I am in the UK and have no idea why it won't let me download anything

My iPad keeps telling me I'm in the USA not the uk when I am clearly in the uk! Please help me change from one to the other?

Your iPad, or the iTunes Store?
If it's the Store, then as Malignance states, change your settings for the store.
However, if it's "the iPad", or an application or web site you are using, then that may be due to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs, such as AOL, sometimes connect you to the world via their American based servers and not the UK ones, casuing any site you visit to think you are in the USA. If so, you need to work out how to get your ISP to set the record straight.
