There is nothing in the contact app and the backup seems to have disappeared, too.

I recently set up an itunes account and provided my information HOWEVER I also provided an improper email address. Is there any way to recover the information? Please advise. Thanks.

Like the subject line says - I set up a new account in itunes. Put in my personal information (credit card, address) but - when it came time to provide my email address - I gave one that does not belong to me (similar to my name but not my correct address). Is there any way to retrieve the information I inputted OR put in my correct email address?
Thanks.

go to appleid.apple.com. Click on manage my acct. sign in using the email you provided (even if it is wrong, it is the one you provided, so technically it is your username.) Once you sign in, it should have your details right there, it will say "apple ID and primary email address" and to the irgh of that, it will say edit. choose edit, and provide the correct info.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My husband dropped his phone in water now it won't turn but when you switch the lock button the side it vibrates and we have been charging it and it's getting warm?? is there any way to retreive the information on without turning it on? Is their a memory

I really need help with this question. Can someone please shed some light on this subject.

Let it dry thoroughly in a very dry environment for a couple of days and then try to charge it for more than 15 minutes. Then try to power it on again. I did the same and after two days my phone turned on and although I could not make calls or use data, and the screen was erratic, I was able to connect to iTunes with my Mac and do a backup of both contacts and stuff like photos, settings, etc. afterwards I was able to restore my new iPhone from the backup and I got almost everything back including notes.

HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased? I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find. Anyone know how?

I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

HT1212 i have lost my ipod touch is there any way to get it back

i have lost my ipod touch is there any way to get it back. i had given pass code for my ipod touch

If you had turned on the find my iPod, and it is on and it is in range of an open wi-fi network, then you may be able to get an approximate street address.
Otherwise, you would have to look for it as you would anything else that you lose.

Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
good luck

I have lost my ipod touch is there any way i can get it deactivated from using wi-fi?

I have lost/had stolen my ipod touch,i believe i no who has it but have no proof to report this to the police, is there any way i can de-activate it through Apple to prevent it from being used by anyone else to upload itunes or use wi fi? This may sound like a stupid question but it is very frustrating knowing who may be benefiting from my I-pod thank you

No. There is not way to preveent anyone from restoreng the iPod and using it themselves or selling it. Apple will not help at all.
You should still report it to the police incase someone finds it and turns it in. Also change the passswords for all accouts used on the iPod.

I lost my iPod touch and now have a new one. Is there a way to transfer all the songs on have in iTunes onto the new iPod?

I lost my iPod touch and bought a new one? Is there a way to transfer all the songs I have in iTunes onto the new iPod? I am scared I will lose it all when I sync the new one or that I have to start all over. Please help!!

You can do better than that. You can click on the Restore button that appears under your device in iTunes. This will restore your iPod to factory settings as if it were fresh out of the box. But don't worry. By doing a restore, you will then be given the option to "Restore from Backup." This will allow you to restore the state of your previous iPod!!

I forgot my passcode and i connected the iphone to itunes the problem is its not backed up and i have important stuff on it is there any way i can get my password without restoring please and to just prove that it isnt stolen the iphone has my name

The short answer is no. If you don't remember the passcode, there is no way around it. You have to restore the phone.
