IPhone summary disappeared after restore, no music! Please help! :(

Hello, I tried to update my iTunes software last night and the screen on my iPhone froze. I eventually had to restore the iPhone to the factory settings and chose to use the data from my last backup, but now every time I connect the phone to my PC and iTunes opens, there's no summary screen, just a box with the option to restore factory settings again, saying "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device. Set up as new iPhone/Restore from backup of (my iPhone)."
My contacts, messages etc are all on my phone but there's no music at all, and without a summary box can't add this on....please help, I'm useless with this!!

Your running Windows, right? (This is the Mac user section, that's why I asked)
Ok, first: Take a deep breath.
Question: You still have your iTunes folder? If "yes", make a backup (find a free* backup program that has a restore option).
Uninstall iTunes.
Download a new version of iTunes. Install.
Use your backup program to restore your backed up files
*choose one from here (sorry can't say which one):

HT1414 Is it possible backup pics from my Iphone after restoring??please help!!

Is it possible to backup all pics on my Iphone 4s after restoring? I got back contacts, but how to backup my pics and videos?Please help!!

You should be importing all pics and vids taken with your iphone to your comuter regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

Disk Space Disappearing After Today's Updates - Please help

Hi there everyone. I'm having major problems with my mac pro today, and for the first time, I cannot fix it. Please help me. I will try to explain what happenned. Like most, I was very excited about the release of ios 5 today. I downloaded the Lion 10.7.2 update, the ios 5 updates, iTunes and the iPhoto update. I installed of these without problems and then I enabled iCloud. I then decided to first update and restore my iPad 1 to ios 5. This worked perfectly fine and my computer was running fine. Then, I decided to update my iPhone 4 next. This is when I started running into problems. I updated it and then went to restore it from a a backup. This did not work, I got an error message that told me it was unable to restore the phone becasue it was unable to create backup.
So, I then checked the disk space for the main Lion drive and it was at zero. I thought, well I was sure I had at least a few gigs, but maybe I used them. So i deleted enough files to create 5GB of free disk space. I then tried to run it again, and I watched as my disk space slowly went down to zero again. I thought maybe it needed even more space than that. So I rebooted the machine and yet my disk space did not reappear. I had about 200mb when I rebooted. Then i noticed it was randomly fluctuating and went down to zero again. I then deleted another 3gb of files and created more disk space to try again. The same thing happenned again. I have now rebooted the machine again. When it first rebooted it had 500mb of disk space, it then fluctuated and went down to zero again. It is going between 67mb and zero every minute or two, and then goes up to 400MB, then reduces down to zero again. What is happenning? I have not opened any applications except for safari right now. Do we think there is a problem with my virtual memory or disk all of a sudden? It seems strange this happenned today. it must be related to one of the updates? I thought it might be icloud. So I have diabled that completely and the fluctuations have not stopped.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give. I cannot think what the problem is. I cannot even run Techtool to check anything because nothing is working with no space for memory. Every time I delete files it goes down to zero anyway.
Thank you very much

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

Error (3) in iTunes. iPhone 4S cannot be restored [iOS 7] Please Help.

It all started a couple of days ago. My phone was already on iOS 7 only, as in 7.0. I kept checking for software updats. Your phone is on the latest version it told me. No it wasn't. I wanted to upgrade to 7.0.2. but it wasn't showing that I need an upgrade (on the phone itself or in iTunes) thus, I couldn't update. This is when I INTIALLY RESTORED my phone.
1st:
          Restored my phone. Finally updated to 7.0.2. but it COULD NOT pass the activation screen when setting it up as a new phone.
2nd:
          I did a full restore again - not from a backup and somehow got my phone completely back to the way it was before I started ANY of this process only difference was I was FINALLY on 7.0.2. like I wanted. Great, just what I wanted. My phone worked fine I was able to recieve / make calls, texts, etc. I was connected to my (Sprint) network and it was all normal...until the next day.
3rd:
          My phone lost signal (so I thought). All it said was "Searching..." and contacted Sprint. They tried to fix the issue but couldn't. After a long while the Sprint Rep reccomended that I should restore my phone again. He told me to do it from my phone "Erase all data or whatever" but of course I didn't listen, not to be defiant but I didn't know how much to trust the phone vs the computer backup...BIG mistake. I figured I should backup my phone from my computer so I attempted to restore my phone through computer / iTunes anyways.
NOW my phone will not restore no matter how hard I try.
I tried DFU mode and restore it. I erased and updated the hosts file via the users> windows>system32>etc>hosts. NOTHING is working.
I'm stuck in recovery mode with the plug into itunes symbol.
Every time I do attempt to restore hoping MAYBE this time might be different the restore progress bar goes all the way full nearly...with the tinest sliver almost not even visible left that won't be completed when iTunes then pops up with the error message.
I used to get error message 3194 but now I'm just getting error message 3.
*ABOVE ALL I want to be able to access into my phone again but **KEEP IN MIND** somehow, as I previously explained, I skipped the activation screen. So I don't even know if my phone is activated any more.
Luckily my iTunes still recognizes my device and that it is in recovery mode and tries to restore it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH if you can help me! I really appreciate it all!

I have purchased unlocked phone which i had a broken rear glass and got the same replaced at Apple for $200 and have had a problem with network it was going to searching for eternity. For restoring had to disable Find My iPhone which was not working and so was advised in the community to erase the phone and restore it from iTunes on Mac. I did the same and even took the help of Customer Care Executive who tried along with me to hard reset the phone and restore it.
It would throw up the Error couldn't restore Error (3)
Tried on multliple Macs ( Thankfully have two of them) wouldn't work and then also tried on windows 8 machine wouldn't work even then.
Now i will have to go to the Store again.
Somehow suspect if the replacement phone i got was a refurbished one not a brand new one. moreover consistent issues on the network suggest that the activation wouldn't have happened in the first place.
Need help if my assumptions are true. Else would have to sue Apple in India for supplying defective handsets.
I will sue them the moment they want me to pay again for the replacement.

All my events in my calendar have disappeared after it updated! Please help!

Thunderbird updated and now all my events are gone! I updated lightening, but the events are still missing. I have a blank calendar..
My Thunderbird is 31.1.1
My lightening is 3.3.1
Thank you

We solved it. You know on the left hand its written calendar, and then under its written the name of the person/calendar. Well it was saying that, that specific calendar was momentarily unavailable. we double clicked it and it gave us the option of activating the calendar so we checked marked it. When we clicked ok or save it asked us to connect to our google account. After doing so we checked our calendar on google and found all of our events. Turns out we were lucky that thunderbird was saving the date we entered in gmail as well. We were never able to retrieve them on thunderbird, we had to retype everything. Sorry i am recounting this from memory so i might not be describing this 100% accuratly. I hope this helps you!

Trying to reset/restore my daughters ipod, but no matter what advice I get, nothing works. There is no summary tab on itunes to restore/reset. PLEASE HELP!

Without knowing current status of the iPod:
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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

my iphone 4s been stopped and showed message that im able to reopen it after 2 million minutes please help me if there is away to reopen it without losing the data

you need to restore the phone on the computer to which it most recently synched. This will remove the passcode but you will lose any data between the last backup and the current time. Either that or sometime in the next 2 million minutes you remember your password.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Do I need to unlock my Iphone 3gs again after restoring it.?

I have an iPhone 3gs running on version 5.0.1. When I inserted the Vodafone sim for the first time it got locked with the same sim. Now if I use any other sim the network doesn't come. Now I am thinking either to jailbreak the iPhone or restore the iPhone. Restoring the iPhone is a complicated process. So I want to ask will my network settings will come to default and any SIM card will run if I restore my iPhone to version 5.1.1.
Please Help Me..!!

After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help!

After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help! I can't find them anywhere.

You're using iPhoto 6?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
