IPOD TOUCH UPDATED BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS
My computer broke a few months ago, it had all 6000 songs that i had downloaded from CD's and songs people had sent me of their recordings etc etc.
It had my full library on and i know apple updates every time you plug your ipod in and so any changes to the library will also be made to the ipod.
I then found out you can add songs using a different computer without the ipod wanting to update to only a few songs using the new library. Very happy all 6000 songs still on there and could easily update with new music without losing all the old stuff.
Today 03.05.2012 i have just tried to add a few songs, the itunes wanted to update to the most recent update, fine, clicked okay then next minuite my ipod lights up and it also says its updating.
Message "You ipod has now been reverted back to factory settings"
Great, lost all my music, pictures, videos and apps.
And Apple don't have an email address for complaints.
I wish the update had been clearer before i accepted it, stating "WOULD REVERT YOUR IPOD BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS" even with someone with a full library of 10,000 songs that would have taken a very long time to update.
So thanks Apple thanks a bunch.

im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

I need help with my Ipod touch 4th restoring to factory settings
I have posted several posting because I need help but somehow everybody seems to ignore the subject or they just don't want to go there. I wonder why.
Anyways, I'm in critical bind. I still have iTune 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6. However, when I try to synch my Ipod to my Mac I get a message that I need to restore my Ipod to factory settings.
The thing that I'd like to know if I restore to factory settings if I could select which verions iTune I could select. I have 10.7 installed and also have a copy in TM.
I don't want to use iTune V.11Ana
I appreciate your input, but you still haven't told me how to restore the iPod w/o getting V. 11. So far for what I read it says that if I choose to restore back to factory settings that it will install the latest version of iTune. Is there any way that I can overide this? According to you, it sounds like I could but still you haven't share with me how to do it
Illlaass
Here is the thing I have iTune 10 installed but when I tried to synch the iPod is when I get the message that I have to restore it to the factory setting. I'm willing to go along with it provided that I can select iTune 10.7. I have it installed in my backups. -

My home button broke awhile ago so I've just been using the assist thing ( I forget the name:P) and I got locked out a few days ago and now I can't do the hold down the sleep/wake button after disconnecting your device from the charger and hold onto the home button blah blah blah. Anyways, I have no idea what to do so if any of you could help I would be so thankful (also I tried erasing it using iCloud online and it said to erase it had to be connected to Wifi and well, I can't do that unless I can unlock my iPod and yeah..)

- 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 another cable
- 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 iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.
Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.
You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?
Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.
If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.
