I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

HT1751 I plugged in my IPhone and it tried to sync with my computer, I typed in my password wrong and now most of my pics are gone. Is there any way to get them back?

I lost most of my pictures by typing in my password wrong after plug in. Is there any way to get them back?

When you say you were "trying to run your computer in admin mode," what exactly does that mean? What did you do? Details here are critical. It's possible you are just logged into the wrong account, or something simple like that, and your files are all still there. On the other hand, it's possible they're all gone... in which case, what kind of backups do you have?

Since upgrading from FF 3.x to 8.0.1, I'm experiencing more hangs and crashes. Most recently, FF lost ALL OF MY OPEN TABS. Is there any way to get them back?

I had a TON of browsing history in those tabs and there is NO WAY I could recreate it all manually. Is there any possibility that FF could get them back even though the "Restore Previous Session" menu option is greyed out? BTW, I've had more hangs and crashes with 8.0.1 than with any previous version of Firefox.

Did that inadvertently (can someone at Mozilla tell me if the download procedure has changed? I only wanted to download the new version, not install it right away, but it got installed with no input from me. I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT. Starting to lose my love of firefox.)
Everything is just GONE. Thanks, firefox team, for nothing.

I just synced my iphone with my ipod and lost all of my messages, contacts, and pictures. I didn't mean to do this. Is there any way to get them back, or should I just restore the phone

please help

Hi julierochelle,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you have a recent backup, then restoring from the backup would be the easiest way to get back on track.
Is your iPhone set to automatically sync when you connect it to iTunes? You can change that to manually sync so that you have more control.
The two articles below should help you with this:

Since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

Yes, go to your 'iTunes Store' app on your iPhone or whatever device you lost them on, then go to the 'more' tab, and choose 'purchased', then find your ringtones that you wanted and redownload them, you won't need to repay for them.
Hope this helps :)
Happy hunting :)

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.

If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

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.

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

- Just transfer the apps and iBooks to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
- Preferences and photos taken by the iPad are included in the backup that iTunes makes

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.

Unless you have a backup copy or can use the drive from the old computer in an external enclosure, no.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies).

Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
