Restoring iPhone Via iTunes: Being prompted to update iPhone, despite iPhone already being up-to-date?
Hi Apple & Community,
I am trying to restore my iPhone 5 after forgetting my 'Restrictions' password. However, after connecting it to my Macbook Pro and attempting to reset the iPhone through iTunes, I am prompted to allow iTunes to download the latest 7.0.4 update. However, my phone is already updated to this, as confirmed by iTunes itself.
I have tried everything, obviously onboard resetting on the iPhone isn't an option due to the fact I can't remember my 'Restrictions' password, and I have already downloaded this update on my Mac when it first came out, as well as Backed up my iPhone on both iCloud and my Mac... Yet I am still getting the same result
Help!
Thanks in advance,
To remove the Restrictions Passcode you will need to Restore as New.
Restoring as New will Download the Latest iOS version for your Device and install it.
Is this what is occurring..? If so... it is correct.

How to restore ipod via itunes while ipod is in disk mode?
I am trying to restore my ipod via itunes. My ipod is corrupted and I can only connect it to the computer while the ipod is in disk mode. After ipod is connected and in disk mode, the first stage of restore via itunes begins, the bar appears, fills up and then disappears. Then my ipod seems to disconnect from the computer and begin an infinite reset loop algorithm. How do I successfully restore my ipod while it is in disk mode?
I have the same problem, but my ipod stays in disk mode all the time. Won't show in iTunes.tried Apples suggestion to restore in disk utility, but no dice! I have tried everything and now I will give up, maybe it's too old?

My iPod 32 GB 3 generation is dammaged. I want to restore it using iTunes, but I don't have any backup. So will I be cpable to restore all data after restore or I will lose it forever?
If you can't make a backup

Then you can't restore restore from backup
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Album art added via Itunes 'Get Info' not updating on iPhone 5
Im wanting to use Itunes specifically to add album artwork to my music which is managed manually. With the previous itunes version, it was a case of dragging and dropping a jpeg into the bottom left corner and hey presto! However, now...nothing.
Ive confirmed all manner of things/issues explained after "research" on the net. So far nothing has worked out. Ive confirmed that the artwork is jpeg (even tried png) and also that its not locked under any specific permissions in Windows 7.
To illustrate the annoyance of it, i can use a third party program to add the album art to an mp3 (prior to it being synced onto the iphone) and it will show up perfectly then! Now, you may be wondering 'why not just do that? problem solved'. Not quite. Windows is annoying to say the least especially with album artwork. Its all fine adding the artwork to mp3 files, but it then adds hidden artwork files in the folders themselves.
As i said before, i was able to do it manually with the previous itunes version but now im out of ideas. The 'Get Info' tab then onto 'Artwork' in itunes is where im trying to update the files. I can load them there, they will show on the files under itunes, but not on the iphone. As i manage my music manually ive also attempted to remove all tracks, re-sync and try and add again; nothing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Granted this can only be really described as an annoyance, but its annoying nonetheless.

Dragging music files directly from Windows and dropping onto the device? I have no idea how that is even possible, but right there you're deviating from the intended design -- iTunes is meant to be the intermediary.
Are you suggesting that i first update the music in the itunes library and then drag & drop to the iphone? In a way, not manually manage the music?
Yes, that IS what what I'm suggesting, and that is what manually managing means in the iTunes world. It is a media manager for your devices, and if you're bypassing it then its no wonder you're struggling. It sounds like you're coming from a mp3 player perspective, and like it or not, that's not how i-devices work.
I'm sorry to say, but if you try to force things another way it will be a rocky relationship to say the least. -

HT201263 My restore attempt via iTunes fails
iTunes either crashes or cannot be found during the restore process. Any pointers?
Reinstall iTunes. Depending on what computer OS you use, for Windows it requires completly removing everything dealing with iTunes and Apple, then reinstalling it in a certain order. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for Windows 7.

It gives me the option to delete FIFA, but I would like to avoid this, in fear of losing my saved compitions and Ultimate Team.
When I try to snyc my iTouch after updating, it says that there was an error, and I can't update it from my iPod because it already is, but it's stuck or something. Still hasn't made any progress.

Restore iPhone to new, keeping "places" data
I need to restore my iPhone to new not as a backup. I dont particuly mind loosing my SMS or music but the one thing I dont want to loose is the pins in Places for my photos. I have backed them up to a folder on my PC and I realise I can just move them back on to my iPhone but will it have the GPS data? Or will all my pics from places I have been be lost?
if you created a backup on iTunes from a previous phone, you should be able to restore the new phone with that backup, thereby getting back all your photos, contacts, etc.
For more information on what itunes actually backs up: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
On how to restore from a backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Since iTunes doesn't backup your Apps, here instructions on how to redownload everything you've purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you have just 'loose data' and no backup of any kind, you can sync music, pictures and other stuff to your phone, including music that's ripped off CD's
Please note that only media that was purchased in iTunes can be transferred BACK to a computer, not music ripped from CD's or whatever.
More info on transferring purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
And instructions on how to sync your media to the iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Hope this helps
Good luck

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks
M. JamalOk,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
