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 ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!
This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you. -

Renamed and lost pictures without a program can i get them back?
is there a way to get a picture back lost after I renamed in the folder (not with a program) after they disappeared i looked up what to do and came across Photoshop elements and dl the program, imported the file and tired to reconnect. but it said no flies to reconnect. but they are still missing and coming up in the properties. can any one help. do need a program to rename my pictures without worrying that they will disappear. the one that are gone before I got the program can I get them back.
Well if you only renamed it it will still be there are your computer somewhere. search for the new name to see if you can find it.
Note that if you stick with Photoshop Elements, you should only ever rename files/folders or move things around within the Elements Organizer. If you use Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to move/rename stuff the Organizer will lose track of it.
Cheers,

i got my new iphone a week ago. i started using it straight away, before i knew about icloud and that i could sync all my contacts, etc to the new phone. i then turned on icloud for contacts - this worked fine. today i tried putting my music onto my phone. i clicked 'recognise a B's iphone' in itunes - this has synced music and apps. the only problem is that i have lost all my text messages from the last week. the phone is showing old messages from december 2012 only! can i delete these and get my recent messages back??
thanks.
balerina.You did more than sync the new iPhone with iTunes since syncing with iTunes does not include text messages.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the device as a new iPhone.
The former replaces all data on the iPhone that is included with the selected backup for the other iPhone or iOS device. The latter does not.
If a backup for your new iPhone was not created with iCloud or if created and has been updated since the backup was transferred from the other iPhone or iOS device, the previous data on the new iPhone is gone. -
Upgraded to IOS5 and lost calender events. How can I get them back
Tried back up and restore both IOS5 blanks! Help !
Me too, also upgraded to IOS 5 last night and all the apps, photos, books have disappeared from the iPod Touch. I can see them in iTunes, but can't figure out how to put them back into/onto the iPod.
I tried the right-click and choosing "restore from back-up" without success, as it had just backed up from the updated iPod without all the stuff on it.
I could use a really simple explanation: how to put the stuff that I can see in iTunes on my Mac, back onto the iPod touch??
And yes, it would be nice if Apple just posted a clear, simple explanation of how to do this . . . I haven't found that yet . . .
thanks, RTE -
how do i get my info back???
If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then

You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
Store > Authorise this Computer...

Lost all my notes - how can I get them back
So after getting frustrated with my notes duplicating on my mac (and only on mac) I searched on here to get it to stop and came across this solution:
entering 'rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes.' into terminal - I tried this and it didn't work, the second time I did it, I accidentally left of the full stop at the end and that made the duplicating stop, but it also got rid of all my notes.
Is there a way I can get my notes back via terminal? (and not by using time machine etc)
Thanks in advanceIf they were not on the cloud, then no, there is no way back from that without a backup or file recovery software.
You deleted the folder that holds all the notes. Remove (rm) deletes the files immediately. -
ive recentley restored my iphone abd lost all my music how can i get them back without paying for them again
Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music. -

I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music , how can I get them back?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off" -

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?

ClareAll of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again. -
during a software update, i lost all my apps. restore did not bring them back, how do i get my apps back?
Your apps will only be where you put them. if you failed to put them on your computer beore updating, then they would certainly be gone.
You can redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
