Restore Settings

I have a new iPod Touch - it came last Wednesday. In the few days I've had it I've received the restore settings message four times when connecting to iTunes. This is frustrating due to the amount of time required to restore settings. What am I doing wrong? Or is it the machine. I'm using OS10.4.11, iTunes 7.6.2. What's going on?

Hey Brad,
The USB connection could be causing the issue. Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-powered USB2 port the iMac.
This article provides some other general USB troubleshooting tips.

we have 2 I phones and when I tried to sync my I phone to the computer for a back up(have only 1 account) i lost all my phone contents and my phone has all the contacts/messages etc of my daughter's phone. I had ok'd to "restore settings" in the process. How do get all the contents/contacts of my phone back?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

How can i sync my iphone to a new computer without restoring settings and deleting everything?

I've just gotten a new desktop computer and I'd love to have my iPhone synced to it...but I cannot do that without "restoring" settings or erasing my current library to sync to this new library. The problem is I have absolutely nothing on this new computer and I do not wish to delete anything on my phone... what's the best way to go about this without losing any of my notes, photos, contacts, apps etc? I accidentally restored my iphone last year and it was horrible trying to get everything back on it, I just don't really want to do that again! I'm thinking I could possibly back up to iCloud and then erase my current library and start from there, but I'm very paranoid about losing my contacts and my photos! Also I just visited the iCloud website and I couldn't figure out how to access my photos on there. Any help that anyone could offer would be awesome! Thank you!

How to restore settings in IMovie08. How to delete Recovered Photos in Tras

*Problem 1*: How to restore settings to I Movie 08.
Context - Closing I Movie was invited to change from original to new settings. Accepted new setting, the result a disastrous loss of image in both photos and video of an edition. Chromatized. More info on I Movie 08 thread.
*Problem 2*: Hundreds of photos in IPhoto Recovered Photo files in Trash. I am wanting to delete the files without having to unlock each individual photo. Possible to do? If so, how?
P.S. No New Topic option operating on IPhoto Forum.
Thanks for any help. First is urgent because it is a Birthday present.

Hello,
I'm not certain if this will help the iMovie problem...
Restoring a video clip or photo to its original state
Select the video frames or photo that you want to restore.
Click the Video Adjustments or Audio Adjustments button to open the Video Adjustments or Audio Adjustments window.
Video Adjustments button
Audio Adjustments button
In the Adjustments window, click “Revert to Original.”
As for problems emptying the trash.

My iphone 4 conked out.it was not receiving signal so I switched on and off. But instead of taking me to the apps page it showed ios6 and asked me to go to itunes for an update.instead of updating it asked me to restore settings.now only logo appears

my iphone 4 conked out.It was not receiving cellular signal so I switched off and on.After switching on instead of taking me to the first page of apps it showed me ios6 tab and asked me to connect to itunes where it asked me to restore settings. which i did and waited for an hour and a half and later realised its got stuck. Now the phone does not respond at all and shows the logo and a half complete bar.Is there a solution to this, if at all. Am without a phone here ppl.Thanks

Did you do the update via iTunes?
If you are only getting the logo will want to try to see if can get device in recovery mode and try the restore process via iTunes again.
If you are still unable to get the device to restore will need a repair
Out of Warranty will cost
Just a heads up

Hi jclarke64,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade.
If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone.
See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
All the best,

Restore Settings - any other option?!

Connected my ipod and it is saying that I have to restore settings. This happened after I had it plugged into my home computre and my husband put some songs on from his iTunes. Obviously I don't want to have to do this. Any ideas on what I can try?
Thanks

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The iPod's drive letter may need to be reassigned. For instructions on how to do this, see the Apple support document below. Hope it helps.

HT201210 In updating my iphone for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want to lose my data

In updating my iphone 5 for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want torestore setting causing not all of my recent data has been synced and I don't want to lose my data. How can I undo this since i did not hit restore settings, yet i can't do any other move without restoring at this point. Any ideas?

You phone is in recovery mode. Your data is already gone.
Why you would attempt a software upgrade without backing up all your data first is beyond me, but to each his own.
In any case, sorry for your data loss.

HT4623 I was updating my iPhone 4 to 6.1 and it froze. It has an iTunes logo and picture of a usb port on the screen. It gave me the option to restore settings, which I don't want to do. Now the phone is frozen.

Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

Can you use icloud to restore settings on a 4s to a 5?

Can you use icloud to restore settings on a 4s to a 5?

Yes. Just back up your 4S to iCloud, then restore your 5 to that backup. Note: your iPhone 5 will need to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your 4S in order to restore to the backup.

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead). I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's. I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
Thanks!

I am having trouble with resetting my ipad mini. I have been having it on reset for 2 hours already and its still on the same spot and not moving anywhere. How long does it usually take to restore settings?

Anyone having same issue as mines please help me put. I am having trouble with resetting my ipad mini. I have been having it on reset for 2 hours already and its still on the same spot and not moving anywhere. How long does it usually take to restore settings? And how can i exot put of ot from restoring anymore?

This is how you Reset - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

TS3623 Just updated my Apple TV with 5.2 but I can't access any movies or shows since the update. When I click on either category I get a black screen with a spinning circle for 5 secs and then straight back to where I was. I restored settings and restart

I've restored settings and restarted to no avail. Anyone else have the issues? Any insight greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

I did a restore settings for my iTouch which wiped out the apps. What happens now when I sync my iPad? Will I lose all my apps on it?
