Lost sync on iphone how do i reset aand start over
lost sync with iphone how do i start over
Hi jgd64,
What do you mean you "lost sync" on your iPhone? Is it not updating? Did the app disappear? You should look at [[Firefox Home does not work]]. There are a lot of good troubleshooting steps in there. It will show you how to refresh sync if your data isn't updating.
If you really just want to start fresh, you should delete the app from both iTunes and from your device, then sync. This is important. If you only delete it from your device, iTunes will put the old copy with all of your old settings back onto your phone. If you want a fresh copy, delete it from both and then reinstall. That'll give you a clean install.
Hopefully this helps!

I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process. Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account. I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud. I backed up to my computer. And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
Help.I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account. The Restore kept my phone number intact.
I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly. -
I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?
Hello anacc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,

Bought new computer , now iPhone not allowing sync of music , how do I reset?
Bought a new pc desk top , now iPhone not allowing sync of music , (ie import new playlists with imported CD) how do I reset?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Getting the error message 13019 when trying to sync my iphone. how can i correct this?
how do i solve error message 13019 when trying to sync my iphone?
I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Lost my mobileme password how do i reset
lost my mobileme password how do i reset
Your MobileMe address is an Apple ID and you can reset its password at http://appleid.apple.com - however MobileMe itself closed last July. If you migrated your account to iCloud before August 1 you can sign in in System Preferences>iCloud with it (Lion 10.7.2 minimum required); if you didn't migrate the account you can open a new iCloud account the same way but you won't be able to retrieve emails and other data previously held on MobileMe.

Cant seem to sync my Iphone how I want it to be. Please help...
I've tried to sync my phone and cant seem to get this right. I had an old Iphone which I had to change. I used to sync before with Entouarage. I'm using know ical and Address book.
When I first coneceted my new iphone, I was prompet to new iphone or restore with old phone, I did a restore.
The problem is that I cant seem to be able to sync my phone with address book, I erased all of my contacts in Entouarage, clicked in the itunes all contacts, synced and all my contacts in my iphone were erased. I imported back all of my contacts to Entouarage, synced and have all my contacts bac.
What I'm I supposed to do, to sync all my contacs from address book since all of my updated info is there?
Ive deleted sync history, I sync and get duplicated contact in my iphone then.
This is frustrating for me. Please help!!Hi Beatriz, by restoring your new iPhone from backup and using Address Book instead of Entourage, you may be confusing the sync process, as the backed up restore data is probably thinking it is from Entourage and not Address Book. Then you change ships and sync to Address Book, so even though the ultimate data of your contacts is the same, the iphone and Address Book think they are different, as they weren't yet synced with each other.
What I would try is to import all your Contacts into Address Book from Entourage. When you are satisfied with that data, I would quit the applications and log out. Log back in.
I would then restore your iPhone, to the point of deleting all data on it, and starting fresh.
I would next sync your iphone, selecting the replace all Contacts on iPhone option.
HTH

got a iphone set the apple id n it was the wrong email address now i can't verifie it how do i delete and start over
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again. -
I was transferring data from my old iMac to my new iMac via Time Machine. After about 4 hours, the electrical power fluctuated and turned off my wi-fi. Now most of my necessary programs are useless. How do I erase that mess and start over?
Hello there, LynnS.
The following Knowledge Base article and it's referenced link should get you started with the Erase and Install of Mavericks:

How to wipe everything and start over from the beginning in Lightroom 4
i had photos all over the place including in Lightroom I moved them all to an external hard drive now I want to reinstall Lightroom but can't find the disc. How to wipe everything and just restart.
Creating a new catalog and reimporting to it is the easiest way to start over. However, you should be aware that by doing so you will lose any editing and organizing that you have done because unless you have exported edited versions the edits are no more than entries in the old catalog - the photos are unchanged. If you do want to retain your work, a better route would be to revise the old catalog and bring it up to date with the new folder and photo locations, as explained here: Can I simply move my main pictures folder to External Hard Drive?

Hi, I have lost all data from itunes on my computer, is there a way to re-sync or get all the data from my phone and ipad 2 back to itunes on the computer as when I go to sync message appears saying this phone is sync to a different itunes library and it will clear my phone if i continue. can any one help please?
These devices will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a new one, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy of your old computer to move everything over.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your devices. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You will need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer as well, otherwise that content will be erased as well. If you have a unique entry, then you should get the option to merge the data.
Hopefully you have your backup copy of your old computer and will not have to go through this.
