Ipad2 won't recover/restore from itunes

My Ipad2 flickered for a moment and went into "New Ipad" set-up mode. I have attempted to restore/recover several from my iTunes on my PC, and each time it gets completely through the process, syncs, then hesitates for a second, and quickly goes back to "New Ipad" set up mode. It feels like groundhog day. :-)

You can try to manually reset your iPad:
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button (also known as power button) simultaneously.
Continue holding both buttons until the iPad shuts down and begins to restart, this might take up to 20 seconds.
You may stop holding the buttons when you see the Apple logo.
You completed the reset successful, you can now try if your iPad works again.

Secondhand iphone 3g won't factory restore from itunes

Hi, I bought a second hand Iphone 3g and when i pluged it in to my computer to do a factory restore it came up with error code, 1015. I've tried to follow steps on the apple website but cannot get the iphone restore and now it wont turn on past a screen showing a usb with an arrow pointing to an itunes symbol. Does anyone know whats wrong or how I could fix it?

I had sync issues with my iphone and itunes on Win7. Seemed to last for ever, I ended up buying a new sync cable and all my problems seemed to go away.
The other thing you can try is to launch itunes as administrator if that does work try launching itunes in XP compatibility mode. Both of those worked for me off and on as I struggled with this issue until I bought the new cable.

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Note: You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Turn off the device you want to remove.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
Note: If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.

Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

Hi.
Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.

Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.

Updating to IOS7 caused all files on iPad to disappear and restore from iTunes does not work

I recently updated my iPad to IOS7. Before doing so, I backed up the contents to iTunes. After completing the update, I found that the iPad has been completely cleared out of all files. .It is now completely empty and prompts for a new setup when I turn it on.
So naturally I tried to restore from iTunes. However, although the restore process appears to have completed, nothing changes at all on the iPad. It remains a blank slate.
Can someone please advise how I can recover my files? There are a lot of important photos I want to preserve. Perhaps I am missing some obvious step.
Thank you

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes": I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range). help!

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

Just downloaded ios 7.0.4 for my iphone4 and backed up before doing so. Now that it's been updated and restored I keep being asked to setup my iphone. When I select restore from itunes I keep getting stuck on setup iPhone. Cant get back in phone!

I backed up the phone and updated to ios 7.0.4 which took about 2 hours. Now the phone powers on and says hello in different lagnuages and says to slide to setup. I am asked to choose a network and then if I want to setup as a new iphone, restore from icloud or restore from itunes backup. When I select restore from itunes the screen says "connected to itunes". In itunes I select restore from backup however after a few seconds itunes says that it cannot restore beause there is not enough free space on the iphone. During this attempt to restore I see the home screen and my screen saver and everything for a split second, then the phone powers off.
I see in itunes that all of my photos and data are still on the phone however I cannot get into the iphone.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.
