IPhone restored while attempting to update it for the first time through Itunes, is there anyway to get my apps, contacts, and photos back?

I purchased an IPhone back in April but have yet to ever update it using the itunes. Today I installed ITunes64 version 10.5.0.142 and connected my IPhone to my PC. After this I went to the IPhone and clicked the check for updates button. After updating my phone was restored and I had lost all of it's contacts, apps, photos, and everytihng. Is there anyway to recover my stuff?

In the process of updating the iphone,the update process performs a backup of your phone prior to updating the ios software. Connect your phone via usb,if itunes doesn't luanch,then luanch the app manually,on the left side pane of itunes the name of your phone will be listed under devices,right click on the name of your phone,and select restore from backup, then just follow the process. In the future it's very important to backup your iphone on a regular basis via icloud or itunes.Hope it all goes well for you
After rereading your oringinal post, I would first just resync it via itunes on your computer before I did a rstore from backup.

  • I have updated my iPhone 4 for the first time in about a year. I had synced it so my photos should be safe but it's now telling me I have to restore. I'm worried I will lose my messages and whatsapp videos as I have a pc so these aren't saved elsewhere

    Restore from backup and everything will be exactly as it was when the backup was created.
    Restore as new and the device will be as if it just came out of the box.

    There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.

  • I connected my iphone for the first time to itunes and lost everything. How can I recover my data?

    I connected my iphone for the first time to my itunes. It didnt have any backup or anything saved on icloud. As soon as i plugged it in, on itunes it asked if I wanted to restore, or backup, my ipod to my iphone or something (I dont remember) and I clicked yes. I thought that it was syncing music, and apps that i had on my ipod but instead it made my iPhone 4s into a copy of my ipod touch from the last time i synced my ipod (august 2012) now i have lost all of my contacts, pictures, messages, calls, emails and everything else I had on my iphone... is there any way that I can recover anything and get it how it used to be before all of this happened? i did not save anything on the computer or on itunes backup...

    Sorry saker, but if you have not backed up your data anywhere, and you told the computer, in essence to clear the data and restore it with your iPod data, then you are pretty much out of luck....

  • IPad 2 starting for the first time without itunes ?

    Hello everyone,
    I just bought an iPad 2  for my brother in India. :-).  A brand new iPad 2 in a white box from best buy. I have couple of questions and hope the forum members would help. Thank you.
    1. As i unboxed , i pressed the Home button, and the iPad screen didn't show the connect to itunes logo,instead led me thru' a series of steps like registering for itunes/apple password and it just started on its own. It works fine though ,however i found this to be weird to start without connecting to itunes. Is this considered "normal" for recent iPad 2's to start without itunes ?.
    2. What kind of travel adapter would you suggest for use in India /240V ?. I was suggested to purchase  a world adapter kit from apple store for $39.00 ,but i would use only one adapter and the rest wouldn't be of any use ? Could you suggest an adapter to use in India ?

    As of iOS 5, it is quite feasible to start up, configure and use an iPad without connecting to iTunes. My New IPad has NEVER been synched to a computer.

  • Attempting to use bluetooth for the first time, and it never sees any other devices

    I have an iPad 2 about a year old, running iOS 6.0.1.  This morning I tried to connect to another iPad, over bluetooth, and neither iPad is able to discover the other.  This is the first attempt to use bluetooth on either of these iPads.  The other iPad is also running iOS 6.0.1.  The iPads were less than 10 feet apart.
    On both devices, I went to settings:bluetooth, and turned blutooth "on".  This opened up a "Devices" box, which says "Searching...", with a spinning wheel icon. Below this box is says "Now discoverable".  Both devices remained in this state.
    I haven't used bluetooth before so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
    Later in the day I fiddled with the bluetooth systems prefs panel on my desktop (a circa 2005 intel mac running OSX 10.6.8).

    (hadn't finished my earlier message but somehow it posted it before I was ready).
    From the OSX bluetooth panel, I turned bluetooth on, and made my computer discoverable.  I then hit "setup new device", and was taken to the Bluetooth setup assistant.  After a few seconds it showed me my ipad as one of the devices it had discovered.  Over on the ipad, though, it did not discover the desktop machine.
    After about a minute, I then selected the ipad from the list of devices on the desktop machine, and hit "continue".  At this point it said "attempting to pair with MyIpad", and "connection established".  At the same time, a panel popped up on my iPad, listing my desktop machines name, and asking for a PIN.  It is not clear to me whether it is asking for a PIN that I have supposedly set up on the desktop machine, or if it is asking me to establish a PIN.  So I quit.
    In any case, my goal in going through this attempt on the destop machine was solely to establish whether the bluetooth hardware is working on the ipad.  I believe that has to be true.
    So, can someone explain to me what steps I am *supposed* to go through to pair up two ipads over bluetooth?

  • HT1535 Please update this for the newest version of itunes.  There IS no device listing on the left side now, and when I try to drag to the "iPod" word in the upper right, it doesn't allow it.

    How to manually sync podcasts or music to an iPod using the newest version of iTunes?  Please advise.  Apple's i nstructions still say to drag to the iPod icon under "devices" on the left, but that's no longer there.  The iPod word appears in the upper right but won't let me drag to it.

  • Is there anyway to get all my picture and videos back? On the new iphone?

    Just went to put some music on my new as of Sunday iphone. It's the newest one, and I had some new pictures and a video on it. And I don't think there is any way to get texts back either. So not much data but it meant a lot to me. And then I accidently synced my old ipod touch data to it, and it erased all the contacts I had to already put in by hand the day I got it, because the transer machine wasn't working. So needless to say I just really, really want my data back. I'm crying right now because I don't think there's a way to fix it.

    Hmm, well, if you've been using iCloud, or if you've backed up your new iPhone to iTunes between Sunday and your data loss, then you should be able to recover.
    If not ... well, this was a learning opportunity.
