IPod needing to restore, but I don't have all my music in iTunes!
So naturally after seeing some bands in concert I went to buy the songs in iTunes. And obviously put them on my iPod. But when I connected my iPod I got a message telling me it can't read my iPod and says I should restore it... But this is a problem because not all my music is in my iTunes right now. I've gone through a good 4 computers worth of music and have no way of accessing that music again... Is there a way to back up my songs/playlists onto my computer and restore then? I can still play my music and charge it I just can't add new songs!
This is why after you purchase songs it asks you if you want to backup now.
Go here: http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/ and install Senuti and use it to copy all the songs from your iPod (if you can) then Restore your iPod. This would also be a good time to formulate your backup plan for your iTunes library.

my ipod needs an update but i don't have internet service on my computer i was wondering is it posible to send the update to the email to update the ipod system through Wi-Fi?
If your iPod touch is already running iOS 5 then you should be able to upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 on the device with a Wi-Fi connection.

Ive got a new iMac and now that i updated iTunes I do not have all my music and movie purchases. How can I get it all back?. I used to have it before update
It doesn't magically transfer itself, you have to do it. Purchase may present themselves for re-downloading but things such as CD are only on the old machine or on the CD.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -
My IPhone need to restore, but I want to backup my data first.
Itunes keep telling me you must restore this iphone before it can be used. How I can backup my data?At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on. Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5. I need to free up space on my iPhone. If I delete the music on my iPhone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?
The same is true for photo's. I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space. Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

My iPod Touch got disabled, but I don't have the computer that it's registered to anymore.
A young family member of mine decided to play with my iPod Touch and put a passcode on it. After several wrong tries and a fruitless attempt to get the little dear to remember what she put, it's disabled now. I no longer own a computer (I'm submitting this on my PC at work. Don't tell.) and can't restore it in the usual way. Plugging it into any other computer has proved useless as the passcode keeps it from syncing with anything but the original computer, which is in a recycling plant somewhere in California by now. O mighty hive-mind, any ideas?
The passcode is very secure, and if you configured the iPod Touch to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect attempts, its content has already been irretrievably erased. You will need to restore the iPod with another computer, not sync it as you have apparently been trying to accomplish. You will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS: Unable to update or restore -
Can anyone help me with my phone being stuck in recovery mode? I have looked all over the internet and have had no success. I have not tried to restore it with Itunes, because my data is not backed up and I don't want to lose it. Tinyumbrella would not work and the apple support website is completely useless!
Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work! It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
You can only Sync one library with your IPod?Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice. Connect the device, do NOT sync. Select File > Transfer Purchases.
This will only transfer iTunes purchases. All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library. -
Ipad2 iOS version 5
Thanks for your reply I have set up home sharing for music but on appletv now they want me to subscribe to iTunes match for an annual fee. I cannot find an 'advaced' option on any menu. Perhaps ihad it all wrong with appletv I thought I would be able to have the same apps on my appletv as I had on my iPad bt is it really just for renting videos off iTunes?

Hello gilowie,
You may need to utilize the 'Deauthorize All' feature, then authorize the desired systems.
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

I have 3 iPhones, but I don't have my all contacts on all of them
on my old iPhone i have all my contacts and music and data, but then I bought my new iPhone 6 with a new line, and then sync data from iCloud, but I don't have all my contacts in my new iPhone. Then, I get my third iphone 6 with a new line, and I got the same problem even more:(
Check www.icloud.com with your Apple ID. Are the contacts in question listed there? If not, then they are not iCloud contacts, and they are being synced with another service or stored locally on the first device only.
