Trying to upgrade to newest version of iPad software but not enough space on hard drive to backup the iPad. It is saying if I continue all content on iPad will be deleted! Can I get it back after uprade by just synching with itunes?

Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted.  Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive?  Thanks for any help.  I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.

I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

    but itunes tells me i`ve not enough space on c:drive on XP PC? can I move the cache file/temp file to another drive where it has more free space??
    If it only gave me the option where to back it up to and download the software to, I could point it to somewhere with loads of free gigs. ARGH can anyone help?

    I have a MacBook in Japan. I had to reinstall my system using an older version of the disc that came with my computer because I was locked out and now I can't get back any of my purchased applications, not any of the software updates. On my account it shows the purchases. How can I get them back? None of the websites, such as iTunes seem to explain that...

    Go to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

    Thank you sooooo much!

    Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

    how can i get my apps back

    Hey ramsrocket,
    To get back those apps, follow these directions:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
    via: Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used.  That is true.  The one whom it is assigned to is me.  How can I get it back after deleting it?

    Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
    It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

  • HT4914 Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
    I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
    Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
    Bingo!

    How can i get songs back after pressing erase and sync by mistake?

    If they are no longer stored in your iTunes library and were only on your iPod, I'm afraid you are out of luck.  Sorry.

  • Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
    Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
    iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
    Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
    and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
    And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.

  • Can you get photos back after recovering your ipod touch?

    My iPod touch has been freezing on the apple logo screen and not opening up. I was told I'm going to have to recover or restore to factory settings in order for it to work again meaning, all my data will be gone. The problem is our computer died shortly after getting my Touch so i haven't synched with iTunes before. Does this mean it's a lost cause for my photos and videos? I could care less about the apps and even the music is ok to do without but the photos of my family are more important. Please help!

    Also if you had photos treat, but if you didn't use iCloud then I don't think you will be able to get them back

  • I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!    

  • How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    dear, there.
    how to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage to google too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.
