Lost my music and contacts after ios5 update, can I get them back?

I lost my pictures (still on computer though), my music, and my contacts after I updated to ios5. I'd like to know if there is a way to get them back on my phone. I had a lot of music that I had purchased.

All you should have to do is to make sure Music is synced (Music tab in iTunes).
While yu are at it, if you have WiFi at home, check the Sync from Wifi box on the Summary iTunes page and then plug in your iPhone and sync.

    If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

  • I lost my safari and mail icons.  How can I get them back in the screen?

    I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen.  How can I get them back or where can I find them?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

  • The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday.  In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band.  How can I get them back?

    I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text.  They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it.  I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process.  How can I get them back.  The App store says they are already installed.

    What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items.  Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
    Thank you all for your help.

    like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

    The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my  projects are  completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

    After installing iphoto 9.5 some of my  projects (photobooks) are  completely or partly empty after regenerating, how can I get them back?

    Define "everything" because if you've tried everything then your last recourse is:
    1 - restore your backup copy of your iPhoto Library created just prior to your Yosemite upgrade or
    2 - Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
    How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
    I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
    Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
    Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

  • Lost all pictures and video of baby!  How to get them back?

    My daughter plugged her iphone 4 into itunes on my computer and she accidentally hit restore and it restored her phone to my phone settings, etc.  She lost all her 10 month old babies pictures and video.  She is devestated.  Is there any way to get them back?

    When you restore an iPhone the first step is a backup of the phone. She should be able to restore that backup.
    Connect the phone to the computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click "Restore backup".
    If she had backed up her phone to a different computer the pictures would be in the backup on that computer. If she had turned on iCloud backup on the phone the pictures would be in the iCloud backup. If she had enabled Photo Stream on the iPhone the images would be in Photo Stream. If she had transferred the photos and video to her computer as you would with any digital camera by connecting the phone to a computer and importing the images and video they would be on that computer. If she did none of these things and there is a problem with the backup that was made automatically when she did the Restore then they are lost.
