HT4623 When I updated the phone I lost my contacts, how can I get them back?

We updated my husbands phone and all his contacts got erased. Can anyone tell me how to get them back!

The iphone is designed to be sycned to your computer regularly.
The contact will be in whatever program he has chosen to sync. Sync them back to the iphone form there.

I updated my phone and lost my apps and music. Now even when I sync they aren't going back on. How do I get them back onto my phone?

go to ITUNES on your phone, select MORE, PURCHASED, MUSIC
Then you should be able to download them again

Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

I need help please.
thank you

The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT201363 I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

Hi everyone i recently updated my ipad to 7.1 and all my apps were deleted. does anyone know how i can get them back?

You can also restore from iTunes or iCloud backup if you have one.

I purchased and downloaded a full album on itunes today, when i got home i updated my phone and lost it all, how can i get this music back without paying for it again

Today while driving home from vacation i purchased and downloaded the new Nichleback CD, when i got home, i plugged my phone into my computer to update everything and it pulled up a message saying something like "this computer has recognized an iPhone that is in memory update, you will need to restore the phone" or something similar to that, it had a picture of the power cord plugging into iTunes on the screen and i couldn't get rid of it, so i had to plug it in and restore everything, when it was done i noticed that not only did i loose the new CD that i had just purchased today but i lost all of the music that i've purchased since the last update. How can i restore this music without purchasing it all again?

Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

I downloaded a movie onto my iPod and lost about 500 of the songs in my library. How can I get them back?

How can I retrieve the lost songs on my ipod . . . and p.s. the movie didn't even work on the ipod!

Hook up your iPod, there should be a selection somewhere that allows you to sync the iTunes purchased content ONLY back into your iTunes from the iPod.
Non-iTunes purchased content needs a third party utility, look at iLounge or elsewhere for it.
As always maintan a backup of your content on external medium, cd/dvd/external drive as Apple will not redownload content.
You bought it, your responsible for it's preservation.

Backup Assistant has lost my contacts - how do I get them back?

About two weeks ago, I looked at the Backup Assistant Sync report, and instead of 120+ contacts there were only 4. When I opened my contacts, there were a few there, but only with email addresses. The contact list I had been using was accumulated over 4 phones and consisted of names and telephone numbers.
Sure enough, the email addresses were associated with my gmail account. I did not authorize any change to the data source to sync to. Did Backup Assistant decide to switch to the gmail files to sync to?
This is extremely aggravating. I have lost 6 years worth of telephone numbers. I don't understand why this happened. Does my telephone contact list still exist somewhere? How can I make sure that it syncs to the phone numbers and NOT the email addresses?

you should still be able to access your contacts by logging in online to the backup assistant website.
however, I strongly suggest from there that you export your contacts to a CSV file and import them to your google contacts. Once I did that, I have not had any issues since.

HT4994 i lost all of my contacts how can i get them back

Please help!! I hit the sync button so that I could update to 6.0 and all of my contacts are gone. I even backed it up so I thought and no contacts still. Please tell me how to retrieve my contacts.

Do you back your contacts to your carrier? I know Verizon offers this.
