My old laptop broke so i've now bought a new one. When i've installed itunes it now says there is new software but if i want to download it will delete all of my apps, photos etc... what do i do?
I have an iphone 4 and the laptop i used to have it synced with (itunes) has broken and i can no longer get to it. I've now bought a new laptop but when i try to update to ios5 it says i will lose all of my apps and any purchases i've bought? Also it won't let me load any new music to my phone? what should i do?
if you didn't do a backup of the old laptop so you can get the itune lib back the way it were
you have to sync and lose the data
but you can never lose the apps they are tied to the appleID and can always be redownloaded from both the iphone under purchases and in itunes on the computer

I can not open my itunes. I'm afraid if I delete it and reinstall a new itunes that, when I plug my phone in it will delete everything on my phone. Then I will have lost everything music, photos, apps, etc. because I have deleted my old itune.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes won't affect its library. Back it up anyway.

I tried doing my update and it told me I don't have enough storage, so I deleted all of my apps, photos, videos, and music and I still don't have enough storage. Any suggestions?
Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..." Why?
My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated. I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
"Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems. This third one, however has the warning above.
How do I fix this problem?
By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
Thanks.Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS via iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying that an error [-5000] occurred and continuing will delete all content on my iPhone. What's the solution?
okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on? -
I gave my MacBook Air to a person to use for a while, and now I got it back. I want it to be good as new before I start using it properly. Its okay if I lose data but I dont want to lose the Apps that were onboard. I want to start all over again.
ThanksAssuming you don't have a Time Machine backup before you lent your MacBook out, then you've a few choices.
If you want to set it back to the day you got it, then if it's Snow Leopard, use the micro USB stick that came with your Mac and after boot from it ( hold the Option key on startup) select the USB stick and when booted from it, go to Disk Utility and reformat the HD then install SL. when it's done and started in 10.6, select the install Applications from the USB stick, then your back with iLife apps etc.
If Lion, restart from the Recovery Partition as per the instructions above except you don't need anything plugged into the Mac, select Recovery and again DU erase and install Lion. once Lion is installed the iLife apps will be available to download from the App store as your MacBook will be recognised as coming with these apps.

I was updating my iphone 4 on computer on itunes. After 45 mins or so, I got message that software was updated. But my iphone needed to be restored as it is in recovery mode. it staes that all data will be deleted!! Will I be able to recover data, apps, photos, etc? My phone will not even allow me to use it....it just has picture of itunes with connector on screen. HELP!
If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

right now i share an icould with my sister's phone how do i log out of hers and make my own for my phone without deleting either of our apps etc on our phone?
You don't need to worry about apps. You can continue to share the same ID for the iTunes and App stores but in order to create a new iCloud account you will need to use a different ID (it doesn't need to be the same as your iTunes ID).
To migrate your phone to your own account, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to save on your phone, open your my photo stream album and save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Your sister's phone will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up your new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once your phone is on its own account, you can go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your account and manually delete any of your sister's data from your account. She can also delete any of your data from her account. -

IPhone restore from backup did not restore apps, photos, etc. What can I do?
Here is what I am dealing with. I have a black iPhone 4 and my girlfriend has a 3GS. She was eligible for an upgrade and let me use it to get the new white iPhone 4, and I would give her my black iPhone. I backed up both of our phones to iTunes last night in preperation for getting the new phone. Today, I restored my old iPhone 4 from her back up (from the 3GS). Everything went well and she has all her apps, photos, etc. I, however, restored my new white iPhone from my back up and was not so lucky. I lost all my photos, apps, music, etc. Anything I can do?
roaming, are you sure? paulcb just posted this to another topic when i asked him if photo's are saved in an iTunes backup of the iPhone.
It is... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
