Update to iOS 4.2.1 deleted content and will not restore

I just updated my IPod touch to the latest software using the same computer that I always use my iPod with and all of my content was deleted. I tried restoring from my last backup, which seems to be from February, and even after restoring everything is still gone. I am primarily concerned with my Nike+ workout history and my playlists. Any advice?

- Were all the apps in the iTunes library? The iTunes backup does not inlcudd synced media like apps and music
- Was the restore successful, that is it went though all the steps without errors?
- Did anything get restored?
- Try restoring again.

  • TS1702 Podcasts App lost and will not restore or re-install. iOs 6.1.6

    Iphone 3gs updated with iOs 6.1.6 software. Podcasts App lost when restored from backup and will not re-install from iTunes.  How do I fix it?

    That's because the latest Podcast App is only for iOS 7. You have to go to AppStore and re-install a version compatible with 6.1.3

  • The computer says that my flash players is out of date, so I tried to update,   The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    the computer says that my flash players is out of date so I tried to update.  The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    Had the same problem (stalling at 25% or 30%).
    This worked for me:
    1.     Reboot computer or use Activity Monitor to force quit any prior Adobe Flash installation process that may be still running
    2.     Download Adobe Flash update using this link (assuming you are using Safari or Firefox): Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI 
    3.     Mount flash player by clicking on flash drive icon on desktop
    4.     Right click on Flash file
    5.     Choose 'Show Package Contents'
    6.     Open 'Contents' then 'Resources'
    7.     Run file 'Adobe Flash Player.pkg'
    8.     Reboot computer.

  • IOS 7 put my phone in recovery mode and will not restore

    After updating to iOS 7, my iphone went into recovery mode and everytime I try and restore it, it errors out with an error code 9.  I have tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers and it will not restore.  HELP    Not sure what to do from here and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles away.

    Hi all,
    Bit of background so I don't waste anyone's time:
    IPhone 4s, itunes 11.1 (both on computer and iphone)
    I too am stuck in this recovery loop. I've read all over the community and have tried the suggestions:
    I put my phone in DFU mode & also recovery mode (a.e. hold home/sleep button down for 10 seconds, etc., etc., etc.) and tried restoring this way 10 different times, as some posts say it sometimes works after the 4-5 try but still no results.
    On my Iphone Screen the apple logo appears and the status bar below it gets stuck about 2/3 of the way, then I get the following error message, "could not restore because of unknown error (1)".
    I set up an appt. at the apple store for tomorrow, but holy sh*t what a fiasco!
    Any suggestions?

  • Since updating to ios 7 my itunes on the handset will not load any pictures/detail?

    Since updating my ipne 4s to the new ios 7 i cannot get the itunes on the handset to work, no pictures/detail appears just along the bottom of the screen , music, film, search etc.  I've also installed the latest update if itunes but it still doesnt work.  Does anyone know how to fix this please?

    Hello there Jodie1979,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    I have a few recommendations to try to get iTunes to load fully.
    First, close all the open apps:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists after that, try resetting your network setting, then test iTunes again.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    From:  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
              http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    And if none of that resolves the issue, I would next backup to iTunes and before you restore your phone, set it up as new and test iTunes to make sure that it works. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4993 After updating to iOS 6.1.3 my mail apps will not open. Help!

    My mail apps will not open the update. I have tried deleting my mail accounts and reinstalling, but still no luck. 

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
    Try a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Cannot delete emails and will not let me trash them

    I have approximately now, 6 emails on my phone that have been deleted from my address in my computer but will not delete off my iphone 4 and it will not let me trash them either I get the error *unable to move message*  The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash can someone help me get rid of them?

    I've had that in the past.  For some reason, moved or delete emails on one device don't seem to register on other devices on the same account for some time.  I had a service that took a day or more before a deleted email on A finally was deleted on B.  In the meantime, trying to delete or move when on B resulted in the same message.  Wait for it to straighten out on its own.

  • HT4972 ipod touch locked up during update and will not restore

    My son was given an ipod touch by his cousin.  He used it for a while and then decided to update the os.  We followed the instructions but during the restore process the ipod shows the picture of cable connecting to itunes.  It is connected but itunes does not see it and I can not get it to do anything else.  I went to the apple store and spoke with them and they told me to do a hard reset and try again.  I did to no avail.  Does anyone have an idea of how to repair this???

  • HT201210 I have a iphone 4 and while it was updating it went into the connect to itunes and will not update to come out of it. can anyone help me "what to do?

    I have a iphone 4 and it will not come out of the connect to iphone  mode. I have connected to itunes and it will go about 3/4 of the way and say the phone cannot be updated. It was installing and update when this happened. can anyone help?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you should be able to restore to factory settings.

  • Updated to iOS 7 with kensington keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard will not work, help

    I Made the mistake of updating and now my Bluetooth kensington keyboard purchased with ipad won't work. Anybody know a fix?

    Reset Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Updating to iOS 5.1.1 computer or iTunes will not recognize the device

    Ok I have tried everything possible short of going to the apple store. My computer will not recognize my Ipod and it will not show in iTunes. The computer makes a noise when I plug the device in but nothing happens. The iPod is stuck on the dfu screen and will not sync at all.. Please help me out here... The iPod has never been jailbroken and I really don't feel like paying apple to fix something that the screwed up.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Things I have tried.
    1.) USB Isolation (I have plugged the iPod into every port on my computer)
    2.) Using Programs to kick it out of DFU.
    3.) Reinstalling all Apple related software
    4.) Stopping and restarting the mobile device driver
    5.) Screaming at the top of my lungs!!!

    ok well I figured it out heres the link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538http://
    I had to install the driver from the mobile device support folder to the parent usb composite device in device manager.
