Welcome to the Apple community.
Do you have an iTunes or an iCloud backup.

I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 and now all my notes are gone. Can you get them back?

I updated my I pad to iOS 6.1 and now all my notes are gone. Can you get them back?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back

Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
This is very disturbing.
What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Nothing should only be on your iphone. You should keep everything on your computer.
If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged. Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud). To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab. As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately. This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.

Iphone would not back up in itunes. "restored" it and now all my contacts are gone...can I get them back?

while trying to update my version, itunes kept timing out. I successfully updated another phone w/o a problem. After 8 hours of attempting and even trying 2 different computers, I decided to "restore"! My bad!!! Was so frustrated by then I just did it. Now, phone is as if I took it out of the box! Contacts are gone, calendar entries gone etc. Is there any way to get back that info? I checked in outlook, but it appears that none of my back-ups ever "took". Outlook in empty!

The only way you can get back some info is to restore your phone from the most recent backup. Naturally, any data added to the phone since that last backup and current, will be gone.

HT5457 Just did the IOS6 update on my Iphone5 and now all my contracts are gone, how do I get them back

I did the lastes update on my Iphone 5 and later when I went to my contracts they were all gone. The update had something to do with the cloud but I don't remember if I ever set up a Icloud account.

I had duplicated contacts on my old iPhone. Went with Lion and iCloud, and the duplicates were gone. New iPhone yesterday and now all my contacts are duplicated again. How do I resolve?

When I first signed up with iCloud (and still had Mobile Me), my contacts all double or tripled, or more in my contact list. When I went with Lion and fully integrated iCloud, that issue resolved itself. I got a new iPhone yesterday, and when it was up and running, everything was fine. This morning, I notice that my contacts are all duplicated again. My personal contact is in my phone 10 times. How do I resolve this? My iTunes sync setting does not have me syning my contacts, it should just be in iCloud. Thanks for any help.

Hi BCHR,
If you are having issues transfering your content from your old iPhone onto iCloud so it can be transfered to your new iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful:

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.
