iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?

You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message.

If you had a back-up created you can simply restore from your back-up.

If you don't have a back-up you will unfortunately need to input all of your settings again.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

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.

Just completed an update and lost all my phone contacts. Can I get them back?

Just completed an update to my 3G Iphone. Lost all my contacts. Can I get them back, please???

Contacts are not a part of backup (only favourites and recent calls list are backed up). Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Addressbook etc) or with a cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Google).
Sync them back from the programme you were using for backing up your contacts.
If you have not been backing up your contacts to either of these programmes, then they are gone.

I updated my iphone and everything transferred over but my contacts. How can I get them back?

I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts. How can I get them back? Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple. They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

Re - Sync to the Computer you Usually Sync with..

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.

I set up an iCloud account, and it erased ALL of my contacts, how do I get them back?

I just now set up an iCloud account, and when I went to my messages, I saw that there were no contacts, just all numners. So I went to my contacts, and it turns out that there are none. How do I get them back? I'm freaking out!

So when setting up the iCloud account and it asked if you wanted to import the contacts on the device, what did you tell it to do?

Sync deleted all of my contacts, how can I get them back?

I recently got an iPhone 4s. I synced it to iTunes for the first time to transfer all the music and apps from my iPod touch to my iPhone. In the process all of my contacts, messages, and notes were deleted. I checked for a backup but there hasn't been a backup for my iPhone yet, is there any way I can get my contacts back?

Megan,
It really is very simple.
First of all look in the recycle bin where your songs may still be.
If not, and they're deleted from the computer, and your iPod, there is no way to get them back without using some data recovery software such as PodSalvage.
I was trying to help in another of your posts, why post again?

All songs are gone. Can I get them back?

Hey everyone! O.K. My step-daughter was here for the summer, She got a nano for her b-day and I put all of my songs on her iPod nano. Then she went back to her Mom's and she pluged it into her friends computer(which had iTunes but no songs). A ballon poped up that asked if she wanted to update to new library and she ticked yes. So now, of course, all of her songs are gone. Does anyone know if we can get them back without using my computer(She's 4 hours away)? Please Help!

If you're desperate, check out this post.

If those songs originally on the iPod were overwritten with new songs, it's probably a lost cause.

I turned off all my tool bars and can't get them back again.

I inadvertently turned off all my tool bars and now can't turn them back on again. I can't get to any of my favorites. How do I turn on Tool bars when I don't have a tool bar to do it?

If you have hidden the menu bar, press either Alt or F10, this will temporarily display the menu bar, then in the View menu select Toolbars and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to permanently display the menu bar.
You can then use View > Toolbars to display the other toolbars that you want.

Hi ckuan,
Thanks alot for the advice - great to see there are so many helpful people out there . Anyway, I followed your instructions and although some of the apps transferred from i tunes to my iPad the first time, unfortunately some of the apps that I selected to transfer (which were purchased) did not transfer. There were only a few but it would have been great to have got them back onto my iPad!
Chow for now!

I have lost all of my changes -- How can I get them back?

I have made changes to many files in many folders. I have successfully moved several of those folders from my laptop to a USB external hard drive (as my laptop just cannot hold all photos).
This week, I purchased an installed a Network Attached Storage drive . . . and I copied all folders and photographs from my USB hard drive to the new networked drive. Then I disconnected my USB drive. Instead of then "locating" the "missing" folders (and re-mapping them one by one to the network drive), I "removed" the old folders from lightroom and re "imported" them from the new location on the network drive.
UNFORTUNATELY - none of my changes are there. How do I get these back?
Thank you for any help.

Use a backup of your catalog that you made before you did this. If you don't have one, the changes are gone.

I had pictures and videos on my I phone 4 s which I wanted to put onto my laptop, and I dunno what I pressed on I tunes it totally wiped out all my stuff. How can I get them back??? Help???

I had pictures and videos on my I phone 4s which I tried to put onto my laptop and I don't know what I pressed on I tunes it just completely wiped out all my data, how can I get all that back I've been told e everything is still in the phones hardware does anyone know how I can get it back??? Need help please???

Do you see them on the phone? If not, they are NOT "still in the phones hardware".
It's hard to suggest a course of action when we don't know what you did and you are unable to tell us.
If they are not on your computer, and they are not on the phone, I don't know what else to suggest...
Were you using iCloud? Did you have photo stream enabled? If you did, they would have been uploaded to iCloud. If you did not, then they are gone.
