New laptop, and I dont want to loose what i already have on my Ipod, help?
I have installed Itunes, I have synched and synched again, pushed every button on the ipod and in my library, and cant seem to get them to talk to each other. (other then my ipod saying that it is in fact synching) when i first plug my ipod in to my computer, it gives me the option to delete everything to move my itunes store purchases over, but there has to be a way to 1. get my itunes purchases to my ipod, and 2. get my library from my ipod onto my new laptop.
Right?!?!?!?
Do what it told you to do - restore.
You will lose anything that you have failed to backup.
Not backing up everything before any update is a mistake.

My exwife took the ITunes acount! i need to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps
Sorry, but the apps are tied to the former iTunes Store account, and if your ex wife was granted ownership, you no longer have a legal right to the apps and will have to purchase them again through your own new iTunes Store account.

i just tried updating my iphone 4 and now my phone is in recovery mode and i dont want to loose anything on my fone someone help please!!!!!
If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup. -

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again. -
I have over 20 songs and apps on my phone and when i connect it to my computer none will transfer over into my Itunes on my computer this is the first time this has done this and i dont want to loose anything, everything is up to date so im not sure why this is happening
The computer must be authorized to the same account you have on your iPhone. Connect the phone and choose Transfer Purchases from the iTunes File menu.

I have forgotten the password and do not have the old computer to sync with. I dont want to loose the data already on it?
All you can do is restore from backup, You have to erase the iPod. That is a security feature
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

Need help bad. Installed new HD and I dont want to lose my music on ipod
Can someone please help I had a HD crash and had to install a new HD. but when I plug my ipod into my computer it is telling me I have to reformat. I have allot of songs I purchsed and I dont want to lose them.
Is there a way to transfer playlists and songs with out formatting?
Please help
Thank youCheck out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer. -
Need a little help...
I am normally the person people go to for help but i need it now!
I got a new iphone 5c in feb and its been great. I downloaded the iphoto app and my pictures didn't appear. Is this because i hadn't got it to automatically sync to iphoto when plugged in my mac?
also i don't want to loose any albums i have made on my iphone. Please can someone advise. You may end up telling what i know but i needed to check, thanks!Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way. You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

I'm not finding software I purchased in my purchase history. Can anyone help lead me to where to find it. I have the software on my IMac and want to install it on my new laptop. I cannot find it? Help!
Thanks,
ChadIf they are iOS apps and you are signed into your computer's iTunes with the same account that you originally bought them with then they should show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.
If they are Mac apps bought from the Mac App Store and you are signed in with the same account, then they should show under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store. -
Bought a new computer, and don't want to loose data...
Ok, I'm sure a lot of people claim this, but I'm really just trying to help a friend.
They bought a new Windows7 PC and we transferred over all their info from their old WinXP box. Apparently not all of the songs transferred, and none of the playlists transfer. They do have all their stuff on an iPod touch, but when we hook that up it wants to transfer from PC to iPod, is there a way to back up the ipod and get the apps/calendar/songs/etc off the iPod?
They do have a backup of the iTunes folder from the old PC and the folder under c:\document and settings\user\application data\iTunes\.The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You can type "move itunes library" or similar into the google search bar for instructions on moving the entire itunes library ( playlists and all) from the old computer to the new one.
You should also move contacts/calendars from the old computer to the new one. -
I forgot my passcode and I dont want to restore it because I have no back up. Help?
Hello,
I recently changed my passcode and i instantly forgot it as i tried to unlock my iphone.
And I honestly dont want to restore it, because I will lose everything, especially my 3,000 photos and I cant risk that.
I havent used my iphone for days, because i rather have it like this than restore it and lose everything. I am waiting for a solution.
So what can I do?
Please, I cant lose everything!
Is there a way to hack it or something like that?
Like hacking my photos and then restore it?
All im asking, is there any possible way i can get my stuff back, most importantly my photos.
Please Help!
I've heard I can get my iphoned unlocked.
P.S I have my phone now on, "connect to itunes"

You've already lost ALL data on your phone. There is nothing to recover. -

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Note that if any of this music was purchased with an Apple ID/iTunes Account you do not have access to, you will not be able to retain these tracks.
