my ipad froze up? cant do anything. how can i restore without losing everything?

Reset time. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds for your iPad to start on it's own.

You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If your Iphone 2 is disabled, how can you restore it without losing the contents? We know the right passcode.

We are trying to restore a disabled Iphone 3. It does not have active phone service, but is used for apps. We know the correct passcode but my son entered it wrong too many times and it disabled. The phone says to connect to ITunes but that is not working because of the passcode. Does anyone know how to restore the phone without losing the contents?

You will have to restore, losing anything not saved to your computer.

I deleted my private folder how do I restore it without losing everything?

I restored my system through time capsule and everything was fine. I was browsing my hard drive labeled "Macintosh HD" a short time ago and noticed a folder called "private".
This is a folder I have never seen before, and foolishly I just deleted it. It is still sitting in my recycle bin, but when I click "put back" or try and copy and paste it back into its original spot it prompts for my administrator password. For some reason it is not accepting my administrator password, I don't know why it isn't, but it isn't.
I have since read that it is very bad to delete the "private" folder however I really can't afford right now to reinstall another time capsule backup and lose more downtime.
How can I replace my private folder? I have a Snow Leopard install disk on hand, and the computer is still running. If I restart my computer without fixing anything it's going to probably not start up because I trashed this important folder. Is there a way I can re-copy this folder from my Snow Leopard install disk or from my time capsule backup?
And for some reason now Terminal is not working, it must be, because the private folder has been deleted..
NEED HELP!

yes, it's very bad to touch this folder and the reason your admin password is not working is because this folder contains some important files governing how an admin password can be used. you can put it back by booting from the SL install DVD and doing it from there using terminal.
insert the install DVd, reboot and hold "c" at the chime. this will boot you into SL installer. once there start terminal from Utilities menu and enter the following command
cp -rf /Volumes/"drive name"/Users/username/.Trash/private /Volumes/"drive name"
put the name of your main hard drive in two places in that command. KEEP the quotes. also put the short name of your user instead of username in the command. It's VERY important to enter the command correctly. mind the spaces in the command.
to verify that the command worked run
ls -la /Volumes/"drive name"/private
after it's done. it should list the contents of the copied folder.

I get "iPad disabled" message. Can I restore it without losing all my data? Can I restore it from a friend's iTunes account without messing up his account? If so, how?

My iPad turned on while it was in my suitcase and began playing through my iTunes music. I turned it off and can no longer turn it back on. I get a message "iPad disabled." How can I restore it without losing my data? I'm using a friend's computer and am particularly concerned not to mess up his data (including his iTunes account).

You won't lose data, if you've been backing up your ipad on a regular basis.

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks

Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

Hi
I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy. Chnaging the theme may change the layout of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

How can I update iOS without losing my media?

Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

How can I enable synch without losing my apps?

Hello,
I read the forums and I cannot find a solution to my unique situation.
I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and synced apps and music with iTunes and everything was mostly great. The only problem was the slowness of iTunes so I started using MediaMonkey instead to transfer music. I also downloaded apps exclusively through wifi, so I never bothered to sync my iPod with iTunes for months. Then I upgraded the harddrive, did a clean install of Windows, and sold my old harddrive. It was not possible to sync my iPod anymore and I didn't care because MediaMonkey/Wifi worked perfectly for my needs ...
Until I installed firmware 3.1! Now MediaMonkey crashes and I can't add/remove songs from my iPod. So I was going to wipe my iPod and give the new version of iTunes another try, but now I am worried about losing all the apps I've downloaded over wifi. I've logged into iTunes and I cannot find a record of apps that I have downloaded/purchased. *Which brings me to my question: How can I enable synch without losing my apps?* I'm particularly worried about the apps that were free when I got them but they now cost money.
Thank you for your time,
bougatsa

The "File -> Transfer Purchases" option didnt work at first, but then I clicked around and managed to get this new computer image added to the new Home Sharing feature. Now all my iPod apps have been transferred to my local iTunes apps folder, thank you Julian!
And Anna, thank you (tack?), I believe you that it works but now that I have my apps locally I won't try I'm sure you'll understand.
I had bad thoughts of ditching my iPod for something else but I won't now! This forum rocks! Thank you all again
