My iphone 4 was master reset and i need to get the stuff off of my icloud and on to my phone

I accidentily locked myself out of my iphone 4 when i changed the password and i needed to get in to it so i had a friend of mine do a master reset so that i could get in to it. But they didnt know that i had an icloud account already so they made a new account and downloaded stuff that they knew that i had on to my phone again along with some new stuff. i have been using it for a while now but i want to get the stuff that i had on it before it got eraced back on it. is there a way that i can get the stuff off of my old account on to my phone without having to erase what i have on it now?

If you want to merge the iCloud data from the other account with your current account, you can try saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your phone to the camera roll, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted and choose Delete from My iPhone (your data will still be in iCloud). Then sign into the old account to retrieve your data. Once it's on your phone, save any photo stream photos from the old account that you want to keep to the camera roll, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>iCloud, sign into your new account again and choose Merge with iCloud.

Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

@Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
A final resort to bring down file size is:
1. Print to PostScript
2. Distill to PDF
That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

After updated to iPhoto 9.3.1 and I do not see any of my devices (iPod, iPhone...) in the source list and I need to take the pictures off of the devices into iPhoto.

iPhoto update does not let me see any of my devices (iPod, iPhone or iPod Touch) and I need to remove the pictures on some of these devices to free up some space for new pictures.

Go to iPhoto Preferences/General and make sure Connecting camera opens=iPhoto. Also, check and see if the devices are recognized by iTunes or Image Capture.

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I need to get the movies back to APPLE TV and off my computer

So I finally, after 6 months get the ATV to finally show up and work in my Itunes, only by connecting it directly to my computer via ethernet. But instead of transferring the TV shows from my computer to the apple tv, the ATV moves all of its content to my Mac computer leaving me with a whopping 246MB left on my hard drive.
Why did my shows not transfer to the ATV, because apparently ITUNES couldn't connect to the internet to verify I owned them. Why could it not connect to the internet? Because the ATV was plugged into the Ethernet. And Why was the ATV plugged into the Ethernet, because it won't connect any other way via the wireless network we have set up for whatever reason.
Here is my immediate dilemma, I have ATV movies and shows clogging up my computer. I would love to delete them, but the ATV literally removed them from itself.
How do I get my stuff back on to the ATV? Somebody, please anybody, help.

how much space do you have on your appleTV? maybe you don't have any space left to put those shows from your computer... how do you have syncing set up on your computer?

this is actually how it is supposed to work... the files on your computer are meant to be the masters and you appleTV syncs with these... not the other way around. if you buy something via your appleTV it gets pushed back back to your computer.
the appleTV is not meant to act as external storage or backup... there is no easy way to get files off of your appleTV if the drive on your computer fails.. there is no way to backup files if you only store them on your appleTV.. if the drive fails on your appleTV or you experience trouble on your appleTV and are forced to do a restore... BOOM! you just lost everything on you appleTV.
unless you can afford to loose all of your media files via a drive failure... you need a backup strategy... store your files on a 'working' drive on you computer and use time machine to backup to backup drive. only use appleTV to temporarily store media files that you want available when you computer is off... that's all it's meant for.

I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual.

My Ipod has been stolen and I need to get the seriel number for the ipod that was linked to my itunes, it was an 7th gen nano

Does anybody know how to find the seriel number for my ipod Nano that got stolen, But to find it through Itunes because it was added and synced with my account

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I have an iPod that was set up and synced on another computer, I have a new mac now and I can't get the songs off the old iPod

Ive got over 4500 songs on it and want to transfer them to a new mac I just got
its not allowing me to do so, what can I do????
I dont haveaccess to the other computer anymore

You did not restore the new iPhone.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device or that was used to backup another iPhone or iOS devide, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
Since the old iPhone was synced with iTunes on a different computer, all iTunes content on the new iPhone (which is none at the present time) will be erased first.
The warning message should indicate all iTunes content will be erased from the iPhone, which is iTunes content only.
If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on this computer and the supported address book app on this computer includes any contacts, you will be provided a merge prompt for the contacts, which you want to select. Otherwise the contacts on the iPhone will be replaced with the contacts in the address book app on the computer with the first sync.
