My Ipad has been stolen...I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a previous back up, the system showed me a different Apple ID. Can it be the ID of the one who has my Ipad ?

My Ipad has been stolen at home.
I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a backup from I cloud the Ipad showed me a different Apple ID than mine and refused my Apple ID.
Can it be this ID (which is an email adress) is the email of the one having my stolen IPAD ?
THANKS
Olivier

The appleid its showing you is associated with one of the apps / songs or another purchase that was on the device the last time it was backed up which it needs to download the app / purchase again. It won't be from the person who has your ipad now unless they downloaded it and then your device was backed up afterwords, so only if the backup date was listed as AFTER your device was lost / stolen.
Thanks

Nope. You can report the theft to the police, and that's about it.

Have you authorised your iTunes account on that computer (this screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar if you are on a PC) :

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

You do not need to ask the same question twice. Stick with the first post that you started here.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

Purchased iTunes gift cards and when trying to activate they say invalid. How to I redeem?

I purchased 3 iTunes gift cards and when trying to redeem, it says that they are invalid. I receipt of purchase that the cards were activated. Help, what do I do?

Were the iTunes cards issued in the same country as your account is based (they are only valid in their country of issue) ? If they were and this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the fronts and backs of the cards, and possibly their receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

An update for numbers was shown for my macbook pro, however even though this has been done I cannot open numbers without updating and when you try to update again it advises you that this is already done so we go round in circles getting nowhere, any idea

` I cannot open numbers as it requires and update, and the update has taken place yet it still maintains that an update is required and when you look to iupdate it advises you that you have already updated so we go around the circle and get nowhere. Help please.

Hi renrut,
Do not delete the old version of Numbers (Numbers 2.3, Numbers'09). It has features that the new Numbers has lost (in particular, Print View).
Numbers '09 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. The icon on your Dock continues to point to Numbers '09. Launching Numbers from that icon is why you get the "Update" message. Numbers 2.3 is trying to open a Numbers 3 document.
The new version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2 is the latest version) lives in your Applications folder (not a sub folder). Drag that icon to your Dock. It will become an Alias. Right click (or control click) on it and Options > Keep In Dock. Now you can chose which version to run.
Numbers 2 on the left (three columns)
Numbers 3 on the right (four columns).
Both versions will run happily side by side. Just be sure which version you use to open a Numbers document. If Numbers 3 tries to "steal" a Numbers 2 document, you will get a warning when you start to edit:
Edit a Copy will preserve your Numbers 2 document and create a Numbers 3 copy. Cancel will get you out. Upgrade will convert your Numbers 2 document to a Numbers 3 document.
If all else fails, you can do Menu > File > Export To > Numbers '09 to revert.
Do not delete Numbers '09 (or Numbers '08) from your machine! You will need them.
Regards,
Ian.

I have just purchased a new pc and when I try to play 2 separate albums that I bought from the itunes store I get a message that my computer is not authorized. I then follow the steps to authorize it and the same thing happens when I attempt to play this

Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
Thank you,
mike

I upgraded my iphone 4s to the iphone 6 , and when trying to restore my settings from icloud, I keep getting the same error message, "unable to connect to icloud". it's been this way for 5 days! How do i fix this?

I upgraded my old iphone 4s to an iPhone 6+ last Sunday (12/28). I've been trying to restore my settings and whatnot thru the icloud restore, and have been unsuccessful. The Wi-Fi connection isn't the problem, I'm not sure what is. The error message I keep getting is: "couldn't connect to icloud", it's been 5 days!! How do I fix this?

Hi I would Restore New iPhone back to Factory Settings After Restore use same Apple ID & you will get all your Apps &Data back. This will get rid of any bugs. Cheers Brian

I've forgotten my passcode and when trying to restore it I get "The iPod software update server could not be contacted"

I recently had my iPhone taken away from over-use so I thought I'd just use my iPod I haven't used in forever, when turning it on it said locked for 21 million minutes, so I checked out few videos, fix it on iTunes, and when I could access my iPod, my mind went complelty blank, so I checked out so more videos on what to do when fogetting your passcode, and I found you had to restore your iPod, which was fine by me because, I have maybe an app or two on it, so wiping everything out wouldn't be anything.. But, when I go to restore my iPod I get, like in the title, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted" any ideas on what to do?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
