Q: I have lost everything on my iPod touch including my contacts from Malaysia and photos of my family.  I cannot restore any of this.  Please help!

Which location did you make your iPod  backup to?

iTunes or iCloud?

IF

-----iTunes----

>plug iPod to pc and have iTunes up

>Devices

>right click your device

>Restore from backup

IF

-----iCloud----

-go throu the setup of IOS 5 till you get to sign into your Apple Account

-you should have obtions either from iTunes or iCloud

>Choose iCloud to restore your backup (you might have a few of your latest backups you have recently)

Your iCloud also backups your pictures for 30days when the picture was actually been taken, so half the rest of your pictures could be in your iCloud which you can view it on any device sociated with your account.

>Picture App

>Albums

should show you 2 rows

>Camera Roll

>Photo Stream

plus any other albums you can manually create in this area.

Hopefully whatever you took and was connected to wifi before your daughter was using it.

You can also have these pictures autodownload to your computer if you had setup Photo Stream on your pc.

and this would mostly defently help you to setup your restritions on not touching area's you dont want her to go like erasing your iPod not without a passcode can she really erase it. i set that on my iPod if that had ever happen to me.

I'll help you here to set that up to if ya like

>Settings

>General

>Restrictions

-Make a passcode that you can remember and dont tell anyone other than your husband if ya want just incase you forget.

From here, everything should be fine after that.

if ya wanna test it (this will not erase your ipod, just follow what i do)

after putting a Restriction passcode, change the obtions as you plz which is right for her and yourself,

>General

-Scroll Down

>Reset

-and tab on

>Reset All Settings

-a pascode will come up to access this feature

>Cancel

-and tab on

>Erase All Content and settings

-a passcode will come up to access this feature

>Cancel

now you have successfully tested out the feature out. your daughter had press on "Erased All Content and Settings" which it dumped evrything and ordered to go to defaults the way it came up.

And no problem Glad this helps you.

n iforgot about the finger out of place, what app is she trying to play? bc i think its the app thats havn a problem. There is no calibration on any iDevices from Apple.

np, the screen probably needs to be clean.
