IPhone 5 created a backup larger than the phones capacity (16GB) and now I can't get anything back onto my phone after Restoring it!
I had a few storage issues to start with, I basically deleted everything in my phone (media, messages, notes, calanders, apps etc) and my phone still said it was at capacity. The more I deleted the less I could put on there. So I took it the the Apple Store where the manager told me to do a Restore. I did this, then was unable to put the backup straight back onto my phone as it said there was not enough free space (it was empty!), I then called Apple Support who instructed me on how to view the size of the backup and it turned out to be 16.32GB (.32GB larger than the iPhones's capacity) but were unable to give me any useful tips! I downloaded a backup extractor but have no idea how to use it! Please help me
why should I do that?

Not all of it is gone. Some of it stayed and there is a couple, where the music is gone but the booklet stayed. When I try to buy it again, it says that I already have bought it and that I should try the availeble transferring purchases. I have done it and all it says is, everything is up to date.
iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

From the backup you maintain of your computer data. Don't backup your computer? Then your data is gone. You can always sync your phone to create a current backup.

Hello CHENSLER68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

I had to reset my phone and I only have one of my ringtones I had 4.. Why'd it delete 3 and not the last one and now I can't get em back without paying for them again!!! What the **** is up with that??
Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

I was playing aaroound with the size of my window and now I can't get it back to standard size. Any suggestions?
If you're using Lion, you can resize by dragging from any corner, in Leopard and lower it can only be resized from the bottom right hand corner.

I closed all the taskbars at the top and now I can't get them back.
I closed all the task bars at the top (so now there is only the blue strip that says 'Firefox - Mozilla Firefox' and the tabs) and now I can't get them back. Tried right clicking everywhere and all the options (right click Firefox in the start menu) but I can't get it back. It's driving me insane - I've got no forward/back buttons, no address bar, no favourites, nothing!

Rented a movie and it stopped in the middle of the movie and now we can not get it back on without renting again. What do we do to get our movie back?
Have you tried going to settings - iTunes store - check for rentals? If it does not initially appear try logging out and back into your account.

This is ONE of the MANY reasons, I have held off on getting and iPhone. Because the ONLY option in getting the music onto it, is by using itunes, instead of just being able to drag and drop. This is annoying as F***.
I paid for and downloaded a ringtone from the iTunes store. It was working fine. Then I hoooked up my iphone to my bf's laptop, competely forgetting that it had already been synced to MINE, which is broken and toasted. For some reason, it deleted everything off my phone, I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how the **** to get music back onto my iphone using itunes. It's NOT a user friendly program, and being a computer savvy as I am.....I HATE USING IT. But unfortunately, I don't have a choice. So, I was able to get the two ringtones that I created with my free ringtone maker app BACK into my phone. But go figure, the one that I actually paid for, I can't get back on. It was in my itunes, and on my iphone...but had the exclmation mark beside it. I have already gone to the support page and followed the instructions for retrieving it. I have manually deleted it from my computer SINCE this discovery, by deleting it from itunes. So....to make sure yall are understanding this...I tried tracking it down by searching my computer....and I couldn't find it, although it was still listened on BOTH my itunes on my laptop AND in my iphone. I trued to manually delete it from the iphone....wouldn't work. So i manually deleted it from itunes.
My question is this....
HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I GET IT BACK!!!!????
It's only $1.29 canadian, but man, this program is ******* me off to no end.
It's stupid that Apple has completely restricted us. -sighs gritting her teeth- I just want my ring tone back. That's it. I can't even figure out how to redownload it....or if I can even do that.
Please someone help me. I'm soooo frustrated.
Thanks
CERNever mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.
