3.12 Upgrade Wiped Out All Media Content, Left Apps

After being denied too many apps in the App Store b/c they required the new OS, I finally upgraded to 3.12 late last night. It took a while but the upgrade went smoothly. Before disconnecting the Touch from iTunes I verified that all the content (music, videos, etc.) were still there and that the space available was around 1GB.
Turned on the Touch this morning and ALL my music and videos are gone. Apps all still work fine, as does WiFi. Checked in Settings on the Touch and it says I have only 1GB space remaining. So it's as if the music/videos are still there but they are nowhere to be found. I'm on a trip for the holiday and can't resync with my computer; tried hard restart and nada.

I upgraded over the weekend and had the exact same thing happen to me. I lost months worth of data from my Goodnotes app. Very upset and I can't believe that it isn't stored somewhere. I followed all the prompts. Yes I should have been backing up but I had a similar issue with my iphone where I tried to upgrade and lost all my data so I was hesitant upgrading my ipad. I though no way it could happen twice. Boy was I wrong. Please let me know if you find any help on this issue.

If you update via iTunes and synced media like apps and music are not in your iTunes library they will be lost.
You can always redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Restore it from the iTunes backup or re-sync it with iTunes.

IPhone upgrade wiped out all purchased apps...help!!

hi, I just downloaded and installed the new IOS to my iPhone. The download has wiped all of my purchased apps. I've managed to get one or two of them back, but the most expensive one, which I purchased outside of the UK, is nowhere to be found. It's not on my purchased apps section in iTunes, and when I signed in it said something about the account only being valid for the UK. Doesn't that seem a little draconian to be an excuse to delete the apps I purchased in Australia?
Anyone got any advice on how to get it back?
Cheers

did you find a solution to this? same thing happened to me last night. a couple of apps are there. everything else is gone (free and paid)...sickening. I'm not a techie at all...when first plugged in my phone the screens showed all apps but only like a shadow... but only those two apps were "there"...so when it did the "backup" it just grabbed those two. now thats all I have. Does the app store have a history of purchases/downloads? Having trouble with all apple "helps" ...I mistakenly always thought "sinc" meant that it was backing up my phone data to my computer. NOW I have ICloud , but NOW I have pretty much nothing left on the phone to be backed up. Oh yeah, it's still a phone.

I have an ipod touch that i first recieved in the united states, now i am currently residing in canada. my question is can i have an itunes account from both countries without wiping out all the songs and apps. on my ipod??

please help, i am wondering if i can have both an itunes account from the usa and canada on the same ipod without wiping out my music and apps.???

You can retain the apps and music for the USA account. However, you can only use the iTunes store in the country you are physically located. Thus, you can't update the USA purchased app when in Canada. See the following too:

HT4528 i have a verizon iphone 3G; apple recently upgraded the operating system. PROBLEM: calendar has wiped out all entries and i am unable to add new entries. Help!

have verizon iphone 3g; recent upgrade of operating system. suddenly calendar has wiped out all entries and am unable to add new ones.

Please define "tried to add the Image"?
OS Installer Packages do not point to "images". They point to the complete set of source files including the directory structure from the media.
Is there a specific reason you are using OS Installer packages though? In general, there is no reason to use them anymore (unless you are actually still deploying XP).

Itunes wiped out all data now ipod is corrupt

I bought my 80g ipod classic in March,08 and have never had problems until two months ago. Several times after disconnecting, I found that itunes wiped out all the songs and video. The first time, I lost over 8000 songs and never realized it until I was in the car on a long road trip. My playlists were gone, 14 movies and many video clips. My pictures and games remained however. Problems continued periodically. Sometimes it would eject immediately after connecting. Then it would connect, but not sync anything. Now itunes will recognize it, but says it needs to be formatted then restored. I didn't want to lose everything, but now it has wiped out games and pics also. It is like I just bought it. I have updated itunes to 8.0 and tried to update my ipod as well. Now it is telling me that it can't be restored and that my ipod is corrupt. This is my second ipod, the first was a 20g with pics and I used and abused it to death and NEVER had a single problem until it just quit working. I have my computer set to update automatically for itunes and this all started right after it completed an update of some kind. I have a 2 year warranty, should I relace it? Also, will I lose all the games I bought?

I just upgraded my itunes and now my IPOD won't play any of my songs. Everything is still ther, will let me navigate etc, but just won't play!
Very dissapointed!
Worst, i can't get my music off my IPOD now, because ITUNES doesn't allow it. And worst still, when i take it in to get a replacement, they simpy take my IPOD and away and give me a new one.
I'm seriously put off!

With the phone connected to the computer and iTunes, sync the music back.

Time Machine wiped out all my backups!

This morning, Time Machine wiped out all my existing Time Machine backups and started a new, full backup of my startup drive.. My Time Machine volume was only half full, and I use TimeMachineEditor to schedule backups once a day instead of every hour. Does anyone know what might have caused this to happen?

Not helpful. I've been using TimeMachineEditor for years without any problem whatsoever.
It's true, though... it sounds like something went wrong with Time Machine somewhere, and that's one possibility. Having used it for years without a problem does not mean that trend will continue. There was just an update to that software one week ago, adding Mountain Lion compatibility. Something could have been wrong with the update if you installed it, and if you didn't, you were using it with Mountain Lion without it being compatible.
As for Time Machine's default hourly backups, they can result in spinning beachballs each and every hour
Something else may have been wrong then (instead or in addition). That's not normal.
In any event, there's nothing to be done about the old backups now... they're gone. What I would advise is to stop using TimeMachineEditor (for the time being at least), erase your backup drive and start your backups over from scratch, and make sure that your drive is used in one of the supported configurations (ie, directly connected, connected to a Time Capsule or a shared volume on another Mac on your local network).

I updated my software on my ipad, and it wiped out all my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? My planner is my life and I am feeling totally lost!!!!!

Please Help!! When I updated my Ipad2 it wiped out all of my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? I have looked in Icloud and itunes and am not finding the calendar there, as it comes on the ipad and is not an app.

Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

Hotsync wiped out all my tasks in outlook, PLEASE HELP

I run my business off of all my tasks (microsoft outlook) and I had over 500.
I had a palm 680, and it broke so I bought a new palm TX.
Before I hotsynced, I switched hotsynx preferences to handheld wins. So it wiped out all my tasks.
I have not hotsynced since, is there any way to recover them?
Thanks so much in advance!
Post relates to: Palm TX

Since you was syncing to Outlook I don't believe there is any backup system like there is within palm desktop. Unfortunately your data is probably gone. If it is really sensitive data you may want to contact Microsoft and see if they have a means of recovering it.
