All old IDs lost, plus emails, all paid apps are lost - can I get them back?

Three years ago I bought a generation 1 iPad. I've had to move several times since, as well as chanbe email addys and phone numbers. Most of my paperwork is gone, and I had to set up the iPad as a new machine to use it again. I had some very nice paid apps on it which are now gone. I did do a backup first, but it wants my original Apple ID and password - all gone.
Apple must have some way for me to get my paid apps back, I registered when I bought it and my identity id known.
HOW does one do this? Any help will be appreciated...

Read, then find your old info, or expect a difficult recovery process......

    You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

  • I lost my safari and mail icons.  How can I get them back in the screen?

    I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen.  How can I get them back or where can I find them?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

  • The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday.  In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band.  How can I get them back?

    I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text.  They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it.  I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process.  How can I get them back.  The App store says they are already installed.

    What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items.  Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
    Thank you all for your help.

  • My firefox upgraded this morning to 18.0.1 and I lost ALL my bookmarks that were previously saved in Firefox. How can I get them back?

    My Firefox upgraded to 18.0.1 this morning automatically and all my bookmarks were lost. I need them back

    "Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

  • Lost my music and contacts after ios5 update, can I get them back?

    I lost my pictures (still on computer though), my music, and my contacts after I updated to ios5. I'd like to know if there is a way to get them back on my phone. I had a lot of music that I had purchased.

    All you should have to do is to make sure Music is synced (Music tab in iTunes).
    While yu are at it, if you have WiFi at home, check the Sync from Wifi box on the Summary iTunes page and then plug in your iPhone and sync.

  • While downloading Mountain Lion I was asked to connect my mail account (gmail) to the cloud. I did so. Once I entered mail after Mtn Lion installed all sub-mail boxes I had set up disappeared. How can I get them back.

    While downloading Mountain Lion I was asked to connect my maol account to the cloud. I did so. Mtn Lion was installed successfully. When I openned my mail all of the sub-folders I had created are gone along with the emails in them. How can I restore them or does the cloud wipe them out. Thanks

    You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed.  When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
    Hope this helps

  • I have Firefox 17.0.1, by doing a system restore, I lost all my major default search engines, google, yahoo, bing, etc.; can't get them back

    Firefox was working fine until I did a system restore to get rid of a DLL initialization failed error; it went back 20 days; an older version of firefox was there and it wouldn't update, then I noticed all my major search engines and defaults were gone, including google, yahoo, bing, etc. Some of the minor search engines were there. I couldn't even add them manually.
    I tried using system restore again, going back like yesterday; it doesn't work. The files or something is wrong. How can I fix this to get my major search engines back, or being able to add them. In manage search engines there is a restore default box exists but it doesn't work.
    I have windows xp professional. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I also tried typing a command in the run in the start menue to go into a safe mode and click on restore defaults. It also didn't work, no safe mode.

    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 reset my iPad all information was saved by the cloud except for my pictures  can I get them back , I'm so distraught over this will I be able to ever get them back

    How can I retrieve ,if any way, my pictures back to my iPad

    I don't know a lot about icloud (not a fan of it) but someonemore knowledgeable might have a solution for you. I know there ahave been many threads here with the same question. The pictures should not be gone. They are there somewhere.
    Whatever you so, though, do not resync or anything like that yet.
    There is an app that might help you. It's recovery-android and should be in hte itunes app store. It works with all ios devises. At recovery-android.com there is a free trial. Make sure you know what you are doing so that you do not delete the photos.
    Hope this helps.

    I am assuming you never backed up your computer.
    Sounds like you still may have problems with your PC.

  • Changed email and my list of purchased apps is gone can I get them back?

    Can anybody advise me how to get the list of purchased apps back?  Also the update to my purchased scrabble was horrible and I deleted it.  I went into check my other downloaded games to find nothing.  Not sure if the update caused it.
    Thank you.

    The app store purchased tab is not working right now and it has been broken for about 4 days now. Look at some of the other discussions on this forum about the very same issue. There have been a number of discussions about this in the last few days. We have to wait until Apple fixes it.

    If you changed the Apple ID - not created a new one - but changed the email address for the ID - your purchased apps should still be available for you to download again for free. Do a search for the app in the app store and when the app shows up in the search, you can download it again from the window in which the app appears.

  • After my computer crashed, i reinstalled itunes but lost most of my purchased items. How can i get them back without paying for them again?

    so after the annoying reintallment of everything on my computer, there were a bunch of music and app that i have not backed up on an external HD. now that itunes hasx been re-installed, i want those items back, but don't want to sync my iphone for fear of losing everything on the phone (apps, music, etc.) that were purchased. Any suggestions?

    Log into your iTunes account on the new comptuer and when you hook up your iPhone there will be a option to reverese sync your iTunes purchased content ONLY, back into iTunes.
