Update iphone 4 to ios7 now could not restore... Tried several time could not restore contacts and other data"... Please help
I just updated my iphone 4 to ios 7. But after updated, it wont restore my contacts or pics from backup thru itunes.
Not sure what else to do. I tried to reboot and restore again but still got the error.
Please help!!!
Your phone is in "recovery" mode, which means you data on your phone is already gone. You have no other choice but to restore your phone. If you've not been backing up regularly and importing your photos to your computer for safe keeping as is strongly recommended, then you've learned a very hard lesson.

Some programs do not run: update software, mac App Store, Calendar, ibooks.V the same time, the program iTunes, iPhoto and other work normally. What to do?
Hello JohnnyChin95,
You absolutely can just reinstall OS X Mavericks without having to erase and install. The steps to do that are almost the same as the only thing you do differently is that you do not go to Disk Utility to erase the drive. Just go to the Reinstall OS X option and pick your Hard Drive and follow the on screen instructions to get it going. Check out the article below for the step by step process.

I am a macbook pro user form last 2 yrs, recently i upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow leopard. Since then operational speed is a major concern. Now It has crashed so very badly that I am scared of my data.Please help me.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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 the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
"Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" comes almost in every app that I open and it does not notify me when I got message in Whatsapp and Viber. Please help me to overcome it, it is becoming quite annoying!
Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

Since updating to the new iOS7, I receive a call several times a day listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the line. Any advise as to why this is happening and how I can block this call?
Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone. -
I have upgraded to ios6 after which I lost my contact numbers please help
I am furious and super sad. I spent the entire day trying to recover my data after it told me to update my phone. I did update it and I have lost everything. It went into recovery mode and I tried it all. I almost bought the software mentioned above but because I did not get it to work on neither PC and MAC in demo mode, I was certain it would not work in full mode. I am pretty sure Apple corrupted my system while updating it therefore none of these tricks did work for me. I am trully upset, I am on parental leave and I had all my beautiful photos, videos on there are all gone.
Reading all day on forums, this issue is more than common. It is exceptional that nothing is done on the company side to prevent it.
Super sad. But there are lots of third party software that have been developed to help this serious issue. Too bad none of them worked for me.
iphone is the only phone that does not allow anyone to select the photos right from the drive and get them. it has to go through this annoying itunes process to sync (and it has to be the right associated machine, the right itunes, it is super slow, etc.), therefore it is very common for people to loose their data because they just dont have time to go through this long annoying process regularly. -
I am not sure what generation my Apple TV is, I bought it a couple of years ago, but cannot update it no matter what I try. I would really like to update it, but don't know how. I try to update it and it runs for a long, long time and then says it can't update at this time.
Well, I fixed it and was able to download the latest Apple TV update. This is to help anyone who has this problem with an older Apple TV. On Apple's website it suggested that you "reset" and restart the Apple TV setting it back to the Factory default. That is what I ended up doing and it worked. Then all you have to do is sign on again and set up Netflix. I also set my Apple TV to download updates automatically now.
Good luck to all those having this problem. It took me months to solve this. -
Please help me with this
Why does my iPhone repeatedly asks to activate iMessage though i activated it several times. I was able to send messages till yesterday on imessage and today it asks me to activate it. My carrier costs me money for this.HI
activate iMessage once more but this time add your apple id in send and receive net time when iMessage ask for activation donot allow to send sms. You will be able to send and receive iMessage but not by your mobile no instead by your apple id.
But this rechecking every few hours is useless and could have been skipped, but They wont change it -

please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!(Apologies for barging in Steve.)
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?) -
Can someone help?I'm tring to install itunes,but when I do I get an error. I't said (Old apple update can not be deleted) I tried to delete it manualy but still gettin the message. Any ideas?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time? -

I am trying to set up my work email on my new ipad3 and the exchange email is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure your work it folks are ok with the pad. They can tell device type, and some companies simply don't want pads on their mail systems. ( yes, I know....)
There is also usually another password entering the flow, your exchange password, that may be different than your normal password. Give your friendly it guy a call. -

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:
