please help

I thought that if I install itunes onto new laptop all the data saved from old laptop would link up to new one, but it hasnt ."
Not sure why you thought that.
Nothing magically appears on a new computer.
Your info will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basics to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Got MacGuard on imac. It has deleted all my apps. i can't even logout or get into any software, all i get are messages that my computer is infected. help. I can't delete, cuz I can't get anything on my screen

My screen is totally blank except for the screen saver and messages that pop up from Macguard. In trying to remove software, I don't know what I did. I have unplugged my imac because I can't even log out. I can't choose any icons to for software or preferences, anything. How can I get these back so I can delete this garbage on my system? Would I be best off going into the Apple Store?

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
Thanks a ton.

How do I know if it's on my computer?
If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

So when I first got my phone I had kik and tumblr on it but when I tried to update it my phone just deleted the apps . Now when I try to re install them it won't let me and has a box in the corner that says 17 Ireset my phone,deleted all my apps plz help

I reset my phone , made a new account even deleted all my apps but nothing works . How do I remove the restrictions if any for the 17+ apps ? Pleasee help !

It's set in Settings/General/Restrictions. You will need the Restrictions passcode to access the setting. Presumably someone placed the restriction on your phone. You need to talk to whomever set the restriction if it wasn't you.

Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

ITunes deleted all my apps after I clicked "Cancel" to sync apps

I'm at work and I wanted to do some serious app re-arranging. Rather than doing it manually on my iPhone5, I luanched iTunes. Note: I do *not* sync my iPhone with my work computer, but I thought maybe it could still rearrange the apps since I can see them all nicely there in iTunes. So here were my exact steps:
plug in my iPhone
launch into iTunes
click on my iPhone device
click on the "Apps" tab
re-arrange my Apps in a different order
checked other tabs (Tones, Music, Movies, etc) and confirmed *none* are set to sync
clicked "Sync"
Aside: Now before you jump on the "you're an idiot bus" (still quite likely), I *did* know that this might not be a great idea. However, I remember accidentally clicking "sync" on a foreign computer in the past, and I remember it always asked me before doing anything destructive, so I decided it was a safe thing to try.
Anyway, back to iTunes... after I clicked "Sync", this happened:
iTunes popped up a prompt saying something along the lines of "this device is not synced with this computer, if you sync apps, it will delete all the apps on the device and replace them with the apps on this computer" with options to "sync" or "cancel".
I clicked "Cancel"
iTunes popped up another prompt saying something like "this computer is not authorized with the iTunes account for the device" with options to "authorize" or "cancel".
I clicked "Cancel"
At this point I EXPECTED to get a message saying iTunes could not sync the device, but INSTEAD, iTunes continued doing *something*.
By the time it was done, almost all of my App Store apps were completely wiped off my phone. What's really odd is that some were left behind. My phone is now in this state:
native Apple apps (phone, messages, etc) and all their data (call logs, texts, etc) are still intact
almost all purchased apps are gone
none of the purchased apps that were left behind are on the computer, so that doesn't explain why they didn't get deleted with the rest
So, what the HECK happened here? Why did iTunes destroy all my apps when I told it not to? Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some strange iTunes bug that there's a magical fix to get all my apps back? Please help.
iTunes Version: 11.1.3
Device: iPhone5, iOS 6.1

go into the itunes store, go to your account, click purchase history. that gives you a list of all the things you have downloaded.
you will be able to re-download all your apps for free.
and for the songs, click "report problem", this will allow you to email apple, tell them that you have lost your songs, they will usually respond fairly quickly saying that they have put the songs back into your account and that they will be available to download the next time you go into itunes.

How to restore a deleted built-in app (Maps)? App disappeared: IOS 4 & 3GS

Does anyone know how to restore a deleted built-in app?
In my case the Maps app disappeared. According to other posts in this forum you cannot delete a built-in app such as Maps but it has happened on my iPhone 3GS.
I'm running IOS 4.
Morrow

If you are unable to locate the Maps app you can still access it from the Spotlight search window. Just type in Maps, look for the familiar interstate 280 icon, tap there and you will enter the Maps app. This will work for you until you can locate the icon, which hopefully you will.

How to stop iTunes 9 from deleting all my app data ?!

I used to sync my phone to two computers:
- Media and apps on my iMac
- "Info" (Calendars, Contacts) and Photos on my MacBook Air.
I simply had different items checkmarked for synching on the two machines.
This worked perfectly until iTunes 9. With 9, when I plugged into my Air to synch my calendar, it started copying all my apps to the laptop! I simply canceled that.
NOW, when I connect back to my iMac, the phone instantly and automatically starts deleting all my apps and replacing them with fresh copies! I am losing ALL my vital app data! (Plus it started installing tons of unwanted apps that I had unchecked--which will fill up the phone at some point.)
How can I stop this automatic deletion? I've now downloaded the 9.0.1 patch but I'm afraid to even plug in my phone again!
Before canceling the synch, I've already lost everything through the "A's" including some vital work stuff and hours of hard-earned game progress. Some could be recovered via TIme Machine and restoring an older backup... but I have some really important stuff on my phone since that last backup, and I don't want to wipe it.
Thanks for any advice.

Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
(I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

I had deleted all Apple apps

I deleted all Apple apps when I got the computer and installed Microsoft windows for Macs and Firefox. Most recently, the Firefox browser keeps crashing so I'm thinking of reinstalling all of the mac applications and programs, but not sure how to do it. I had deleted all Mac apps that I could find including Safari. ny idea how to reinstall? I cannot access the internet from the Macbook Pro because Firefox has stopped working.

There is only one way to do that: reinstall OS X. Try this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

Hi,
I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
Thanks

An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.

So I am having trouble updating my iPod touch. Even though I have deleted all my apps it still won't let me update. Help!

Even though I have deleted all my apps from my iPod touch it still won't let me update to the ios7.

A fourth generation iPod touch doesn’t have enough RAM to run iOS 7(it has 256MB, but iOS 7 requires at least 512MB). Nothing can be done about this.
