ITunes seems to be stuck "backing up" my phone while i try to update from 4.3.3 to 4.3.5.

The progress bar has the same very small amount shown as it did 45 minutes ago. Any suggestions?
iPhone 4. Windows 7. iTunes 10 ver. 10.5.0.142

When you deleted all things Apple there is a specific procedure that assures you did not miss anything. That process is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Also, if the problem occurs during backup and the winsock reset did not fix it you probably have a corrupt or only partially deleted backup. You may have to delete it manually:
Windows XP backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
In both user is your logged in Windows user name. Delete EVERYTHING in the backup folder.

Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps are greyed out and i cant access them via the phone interface
I can only access them via the App store

I did plug it into itunes and then backed it up to the cloud (im actually wondering if thats my problem)
then restored it from the cloud.
Maybe I should restore it from the computer (when its plugged into itunes?)
thanks sberman

iTunes version 10.7 requires at least Mac OS X version 10.6.8 if you're running a Mac, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later if you're running Windows.
Is your computer up-to-date enough for iTunes 10.7?

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup; how can i get all my imessages back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud?

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup from a week ago. everything restored fine, but it only brought back my imessages up to the backup date (a week ago); but all the messages up to today are on my mac messages app on my macbook air; how can i get them all back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud automatically if its still available on my mac? Thanks for any help!

iCloud doesn't sync iMessages. They are sent from the iMessage server to your devices, not synced between devices. I don't think you'll be able to get these messages back on your phone, but you should be receiving any new messages.

I'm running iTunes 11.0.5.6 on Windows 8. When I try to update to iTunes 11.1.0, I receive error messages that refer to a "network resource that is unavailable" and that "the older versionof iTunes cannot be removed." What do I need to do?

Try from a computer. You may have to reset your password. If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question. Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

Why does iTunes always sync old apps back to my phone when restoring from back-up?

I can't seem to stop this happening - I delete apps frequently from my phone as I find I have no use for them. I regularly sync my phone to iTunes and I expected this to mean that old apps would be deleted from there as well, the same as contacts and photos are modified. But whenever I've restored from a back-up, I end up with all my old apps back on. I'm currently restoring from a back-up and it's syncing 1560 apps back onto my phone! I only had 346 on there that I wanted! But obviously I do want it to sync apps back on because I really can't be bothered to download 346 apps again, but why can't it just sync the apps back on that were present on my most recent back-up? This seems to be one of the many dumb things that iTunes does...

Syncing apps is a transfer/copy process, not a true sync process as with contacts, and the same for all iTunes content.
All apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library. If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically along with being selected the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. If you delete an app direct on your iPhone, the app should be deselected automatically under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so - so the app won't be reinstalled on your iPhone with a following sync with iTunes. Your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is included with your iPhone's backup.
No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be erased via the iTunes sync process.

HT204053 I let my friend put his ipod on my itunes. I got a new iphone 5 and when i try to update apps,i put in my current apple id and then it asks for his apple id password, which i dont know and i want to get rid of his.

When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

My itunes is saying im not connected to the internet everytime i try to update my iphone 4 help

my itunes is saying i have no internet connection everytime i try to update my phone its an iphone 4 and i am connected to the internet

On my iPhone 3GS, under the General Settings, and the STORE app, there is an option for Cellualr On or OFF. If this is off, you can only access iTunes when you are on a Wireless connection. Could that be the issue? You have Cellular OFF and you are not on a wireless connection? If you turn it ON, then you should be able to access iTunes via cellular connection.
Not sure if that's your issue or not?

HT1414 iTunes won't let me connect to the phone while it is locked without a password, i.e. I can't use the restore function. What next?

How do I unlock an iPhone that has had an invalid password entered too many times?
Apples' dbase says to do a restone from iTunes, but iTunes won't connect to the phone while it's locked without a password

Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the firmware.

TS3694 How do I update my older Ipod touch from 2.2 to 4.2? When I try to update from Itunes I get a -1 error code

Thanks for any help you can provid.e

A -1 error code often indicates a hardware problem, but it can also indicate an inability of iTunes to connect to the update server due to being blocked by security software on your computer. For help with that possibility, see:
Troubleshooting security software issues
If that fails, try updating from another computer. If that still fails, your iPod may have a hardware failure.
Note that if you have a first-generation iPod touch, it can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3, and that update is not free.
