  • All my playlists are gone on my iPad except purchased after syncing iPad to laptop. Is there a way to get them back?

    I had about five playlists on my iPad, plus the Purchased playlist. I synced the iPad to my laptop using the USB cord. After that, I noticed that the only playlist on my iPad is Purchased. Is there a way to get the other playlists back? I checked my iTunes Library on my laptop and the playlists aren't there either.

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading for free - unless the phone was on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it : Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support
    If you bought them on your old phone then did you copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - or have you still got that phone with the tones on it so that you can do so ? If you have then you can sync them to your new phone.
    If you don't have a copy of them in your iTunes library, and your phone wasn't on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hi cje24576,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you using iCloud for your calendar?  When you go to the www.icloud.com website, do you see all of your entries there?  The troubleshooting steps in the article below should help you with this:

  • When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

    When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself).  Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts.  If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
    If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device.  If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen?

    My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen? I thought I was 100% secure with Icloud but it does not seem the case! Now I have contacts retrieved form my email accounts but nothing from icloud!
    Please help!

    Well with the contacts, if you had back up assistant or google back up then you may be able to retrieve them.If not then they are gone for good. Withe the message you ae getting about the space, since you cleared everything out and still get that message you might or actually need to do afactory reset thru settings. So make sure the apps you want are saved on your card or just do the reset and redownload the apps

    You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
    If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

  • After the most recent update my phone was restored to factory settings.... and all of my pictures are gone! Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    After the most recent software update  my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage.  Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct?  In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • My files disappered from icloud drive. is there a way to get them back??

    Hi All,
    I'm using icloud drive for my files and everything was fine untill this morning. when I looked the drive I saw that most of my files was gone. I did not erase or move anything. is there a way to get them back???
    thanks...

    Export all your existing projects just in case and copy them onto your computer (might not be necessary but I don't have time to test it just now) then head into Settings > GarageBand > Reset GarageBand Settings which restores sound samples and the demo song.

  • I synced my iphone to a new pc and it updated and a few hundred photos seem to be lost. Is there any way to get them back?

    Hi i synced an iphone to a new pc and it updated and restored the iphone to its original settings. some photos were still there after but a few hundred are now missing. Is there any way to get them back?

    restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
    ideally... were you backing up to icloud?  if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced.  Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up

    Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?

    History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
    then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
    If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu.
