Itunes synced my iphone to an older version?

I've hooked my iphone up to put some music on it to have it automatically synced by itunes. It has resulted in losing contacts, messages and put me back to an older version of ios!! What do I do to restore it to the way it was before it synced? I have tried looking for it in backup but the only backups listed are from March and just now!!

If you don't have a backup to work with simply restore unit as new.
Plugin into iTunes select iPhone on the left end side and go to summary pan and choose restore.
At the end when setting up the iPhone and asked to setup as new or restore from iTunes or iCloud backup, choose setup as new.
That should put you on the current iOS version 5.1.1
To be honest that is very wired since normally apple does not have any way to downgrade the iOS version, and if you try to restore form a backup from a different iOS versions that will bring the data but not the iOS.
Any way try that...

  • Can I still sync my iPhone to an older version of iTunes?

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to OS X 5 using a work computer with iTunes.  However, all of my music is stored on my MacBook Pro at home which is still operating on OS X 10.4 Tiger and the older version of iTunes.  Will it enable me to upload music and then store it on the cloud?

    I have a 4S, and have already had enough bad experiences with updating, and reading all the issues the 4S has with IOS 8, I'd rather not.
    I'm 99% sure my next phone will be Android.
    How many times do you need to hear no? Any what issues are you hearing and from where? Many millions are having no issues with iOS8.1.1  Don't let forums like this have an impact on your decision. Stay with the iOS you already have if you don't want 8 for some reason.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • ITunes - syncing multiple iPhones and avoiding apps going on the wrong handsets!

    Hi all,
    I work for a small telco and i sync multiple iPhone handsets daily to my iTunes on my work PC, the problem i'm having is when the customer wants there applications transferred to their new handset, I have to sync the applications to my itunes and then put in the customer Apple ID password and transfer the purchases. Then what happens is the customers go to update their applications on there handsets and it comes up with another random apple id to update the app. How can i stop this from happening???
    Please I need your Help!!!

    My wife and I share almost everything...so when we purchase apps, we use the same Apple account. We have one account with AT&T with two phones. We also have one account at the apple store and charge everything to a specific credit card that has a very low monthly ceiling. This allows us to download the apps to our iphones from different computers. When I buy an app or download a free one, she logs in with our account and is eligible to download the app too. I think it is OK with Apple but have not read the fine print of the agreement.

  • Can I get rid of my iTunes and go back to an older version?

    I have had too many problems with my newer versions of iTunes. I just want to go back to an older version where I didn't have any problems. I want to go back about 2-3 versions. My dad has it on his because he never updated it and he has no problems at all.
    Right now I have version 7.1.1.5
    Thanks.

    I had the exact problem. It would get to about 80% "updating library" then get stuck there. I went through all the "advised solutions" and then after days of looking I found the older version.. here you go: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    Let me know if it works for you!

  • Itunes sync with iphone 5 problem

    It's making me crazy..
    I am trying to sync my iphone 5 with itunes on Mac.
    Tried everything.. My mac says syncing, then it says finished but no songs or no video is synced. Looking at the tree, I see the playlist but it's grey. (so not synced)
    I had the same problem with my iPhone 4... The only thing I didn't do is setup the phone as a new phone.. (beacuse I want to keep my backup files)
    Tried everything. uninstall, create new lib, wipe the phone..
    Stupid thing is that my ipad 3 and mini are both synced correctly.
    It can have something to do with itunes match. I did use it for a couple of days but it was horrible. Changed the setting back to local sync but it's doing nothing. Switching back to match doesn't help either. Deleted the lib on the phone, on itunes..
    I am seeing more people with this problem. Anyone succeed in this?
    Most likely it's a bug in either the firmware or itunes.. My expectation is in the iphone because my ipad's are synced correctly..
    Thx>
    Jorik

    In addition, I just turned off syncing calendars, and now I'm "hanging" on syncing contacts. I think that the problem is with syncing, period, not limited to a particular data base.

  • Can I Force iTunes Sync FROM iPhone to XP Folder

    Can You Force the DIRECTION of an iTunes Sync so that WAB is Over-Written with this iPhone Contacts List? (I already discovered the 2nd Sync after WAB setup went WAB to iPhone when Not intended that way) ----------

  • ITunes won't install because an older version of iTunes cannot be removed

    I'm running on Windows XP.
    I had tried to update my iTunes a few days ago and it was failing because it complained about iTunes.msi. I tried to uninstall and it had the same complain. So I manually removed it and started to remove all references to apple and iTunes in my registry. After that, it no longer showed up in my add/remove applications but if I try to install iTunes (latest or an older version), it complains that it can't install because it can't remove an older version of iTunes.
    I downloaded Windows Install Clean Up, but it doesn't list iTunes in there or anything that looks like it might be it. I've tried a number of registry cleaners but still no luck. Any ideas? It's obviously finding some information about my old iTunes install in there somewhere, but it can't figure out how to remove it. I wish it had some kind of debugging mode where it would tell me why it thinks I have iTunes installed still.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Ace ... I try not to post links to alternate locations for CleanUp downloads, because that tends to lead to the download location being shut down. (Happened twice for me the day after it was removed from the Microsoft Downloads Center.)
    Assuming you've got trouble with an iTunes .msi file, here's a copy of my now-standard spiel on hunting down, installing and using CleanUp:
    These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
