Or just wait until you can use the computer you used previously. If that isn't possible see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

i just tried updating my iphone 4 and now my phone is in recovery mode and i dont want to loose anything on my fone someone help please!!!!!
If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup. -
i have changed the apple ID (email) but on my iphone , the icloud is stil asking me to log in whit the old email.And it is poping-up on every 10 seconds.I never used icloud, and i dont want to use it.I just dont know how to disable the icloud.
If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen). -
I want to update my iphone from 6.1.4 to ios7 using OTA but i'm not sure if my content will stay in the phone after the update especially the music cuz rest of it is backed up on icloud.
Updating is not suppose to wipe any media or apps.
It may happen because sometimes things just go wrong.
I would back everything up first. -
After operating system upgrade, my iPhone demands a passcode be entered. I have never used a passcode. How can I restore my iPhone to how it was before?

It's asking you to create a passcode. You can turn it off later if you wish. -
My old computer crashed. I have the data on a flash drive but some of the music was purchased under an old appleID so it won't sync. I am trying to move the music from my iphone to the new computer but I am not having any luck. Suggestions?
iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store only.
To transfer the music from the flash drive that was purchased from the old Apple ID will require authorizing your new computer with that Apple ID with iTunes. The same for music or any other iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes Store with that Apple ID.
With the iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
You will need to authorize your new computer with iTunes with each Apple ID that was used to purchase/download any iTunes content purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPhone with the Apple ID. -
I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help
If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost. -
When asked to type in my Apple ID it uses a email address that is not mine but is one of my contacts, I cannot access itunes as this is not my email address, this happened after I updated my phone on my Mac computer. How do I get this email address off so I can use my Apple ID ?
settings->itunes & app stores->click on the appleID which is not your and log out

I want to sync my iphone to a new computer without loosing my apps, contacts, and photos
I need to sync my iphone3 to a new computer without loosing my data
Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 I think this is what you need. I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone (3GS) to sync with it again...without losing the apps. This page from OSXdaily is also useful: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone... It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps.

HT1296 my computer crashed and i want to sync my iphone to a new computer ow can i do this?
is there away to sync my iphone4s to a new lptop?
The EASY way is to restore the backup that you must have kept of the computer that crashed to your new laptop. In lieu of that there's a much more complicated process that preserves most, but not all content: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

when trying to reset my partners iphone, I accidently forgot the .au at the end of his email and now I cannot log in as the password had been reset but I cannot find how to change his email address
What email are you talking about, his Apple ID or email setting for the email app? In either case just change it in the appropriate setting.

I often get the message that I am being disconnected from chat because i've logged on from another computer. I never use chat, and it just seems to be a problem. How can I get rid of it?
Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness. -
Hello I Have over the Years spent hundreds of dollars with Apple.I have authorized computers and have removed computers and therefore have lost purchased items.How do I restore ALL of the Items that I Have Paid Good Money for? Also I inadvertently have removed devices from the cloud and now have lost more $ in purchased items. Please help .Thankyou.
What you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased section : either click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or on the current version of iTunes you can click on your name towards the top right of the iTunes screen and then click Purchased on the popup :
If not everything shows there then check to see if you've hidden anything : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
You can't redownload audiobooks or tones without repurchasing, they are one-off downloads. And if an item is no longer in the store, or if you've moved countries since buying them, then you will also not be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them from your backup of your downloads/library or over from another computer if you still have them on it - if you're not keeping and maintaining a backup of all of your downloads then you should be doing so (the store's terms advise you to do so)., you are only guaranteed one download of any item
Deauthorising a computer and/or removing a device from the Manage Devices section of your account does not delete any content from the computer or remove items from the cloud. -
HT2534 i have a apple ID but i dont want to use my creddit card
i do have a creddit card on my account but i will like to use my account without my creddit card... how can i do that please help
Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again. -
I bought a new iPhone 5 a few months ago, and havnet plugged it into my itunes until now, and I do not want to set it up as a new phone, because it will get rid of everything I already have on there, but I also dont want to restore from my last backup with my old iPhone 4. I want to add music that i have on my itunes, but i dont want to start over fresh. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Those are your only choices.
You should simply transfer everything from your iphone to your computer. Then you can sync it back.
