It's in recovery mode. Anything that was on the phone and not already backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore.

HT4061 Hi I tried to upgrade Itunes and it says if I proceed I will lose all media
I need help as I tried to upgrade Itunes and my phone has a picture on it of ITunes and a plug in. I can't open anything
Your phone is in recovery mode. All data on it are already gone. You need to connect your phone to your computer via USB and restore in iTunes.
If you've been smart and using your phone as recommended, all your data should have been recently backed up so data loss should be neglibible. -
I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -
I need to update my iTunes and iPod touch,iPad and iPhone but they were set up with a hp laptop that i sold i tried to update my iTunes and apple devices but it tell's me if i update i will lose all media on my devices and to update with the original computr
Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

How can I turn off "find my ipad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working?
How can I turn off "Find My iPad" to restore to factory settings if screen is not working? I can't get access to the apps on my mini pad. I can see the device when I'm in iTunes.
Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

So I have the directions to restore her old phone and realize her info will be lost..ok..but how can I restore it if her sleep/wake button is not working?
You can back up your phone to itunes on the computer before restoring so that data wont be lost. Once the phone if saftely backed up you click on the "iphone" section to find her phone details. There is a button that says "restore". CLick on it and the phone will restore

I tried to update my ipod, but it now it is not going past the apple sign.
I tried to update my ipod. but now its stuck.
if you turn it on, you can´t get past the apple sign.
I tried to restore it with itunes, but it says it can not restore.
because you have to get the latest version of itunes.
but I already have the latest version, so I can not restore.
please help, because I can not do anything with it now..- On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup is listed.
- For iCloud backup. , with the iPod setup with the same iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage and see if one is listed. -
My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.
Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

Can't restore to factory settings the Satellite L350
Hi
there i was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended i tried ubuntu.
But now i want to go back to vista but i can't seem to get my laptop to run the restore.
I've tried holding down 0 while powering on also pressing f8 but it still just boots as normal.
The Toshiba recovery disk creator isn't on my computer either. I don't have any Vista discs, but if i can remember correctly my laptop never came with them, i'm really stuck on what to do.
Satellite L350Hey,
Im a little bit confused about your posting. You wrote that you tried Ubuntu but have you installed Ubuntu and deleted Vista or was it just a Ubuntu live disk?
The Toshiba HDD recovery function is described here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
But one point more: The HDD recovery works only with preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba so if you have installed another OS or did an upgrade, this option doesnt work anymore.
And youre right: The notebook doesnt come with Toshiba recovery disk because you have to create this disk yourself using Toshiba recovery media creator that is preinstalled. This tool will create a bootable disk with an image of factory settings that can be restored every time in contrast to HDD recovery that only works with original installed OS.
To cut a long story short, just order a recovery disk from Toshiba and install it. Then you have factory settings back :)

Tried to update, screen said verifying update. then said to plug into itunes. itunes (on home PC) said ipad was in recovery mode and I need to restore to factory settings to move ahead, losing all my stuff. Obviously traumatic. Do I do this? why did this happen?
The best way to backup your iPad is the way that makes the most sense in your situation and the way that works best for you. There is no hard and fast answer. But since you asked .....
I prefer using iTunes because I don't have to worry about having enough space available in iCloud. You are allotted 5GB of space with the free iCloud account, but that is really not that much storage space at all. You can purchase more space, but IMO, its crazy to pay for cloud storage if you have your own computer. On top of that, you have more control when you use your computer. You can backup the content on your computer in order to have backups of backups. You can't do that with iCloud. Another disadvantage to using iCloud is that you always need to be connected to WiFi in order to backup to iCloud. Not everybody always has access to WiFi every minute of every day.
Read this and see if it helps you make your decision. If you have more questions, post again and ask.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes -
so I did the itunes upgrade to 10.5.1 and then teh iphone 4 needed to b e upgraded to new ios5.1 - seemed to go all the way through, and the final restore seemed to fail. Now the phone is no longer recognised as personalised, just as iphone. Also i cannot restore from backup, only restore factory settings and i am warned that I will lose all data. Can I force a restore from back up? can I guaruntee that I can keep data from backups??
Same with me. Anyone have an answer??
