After installinf ios6 I lost all contacts, I could not get them back so I hit restore. This restored the phone to 4 months back. The phone did not give me the option to restore from the cloud. is there anyway I can now restore from the cloud?

How many backups are in the cloud? When I installed ios6 it backed up to the cloud, since then I restored the phone trying to regain my contacts. At this point the used the last backup I performed on the computer 5 months ago. I never had the oppertunity to restore from the cloud. Is there anyway I can now restoe from the cloud and would it have the backup that was performed when I installed ios6?

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

I lost my contacts number how to get them back

I lost some of my contacts number . Is second time when is happened this with out any reason .How can i get them back I lost very important phone numbers ?

If you had your phone backed up in itunes, you can connect to itunes, tap on your phones name to the left, then click on restore , then restore from backup to get the information you had backed up. Providing you had performed a backup previously.

HT4859 I turned on icloud and lost my contacts, how do I get them back?

I upgraded my system software then was asked if I want to use icloud to backup. I said yes and all my contacts disappeared. Where did they go and how do I get them back?

I had this problem post 6.1. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I'd just recently changed my password after being convinced I'd been hacked, due to being told I was entering my password wrongly, repeatedly by iCloud / iTunes. It turns out my iCloud account on my Settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars was listed as Inactive. Putting in my details, turning off Contacts over iCloud (thus deleting them) and turning them back on again, repopulated my contacts from iCloud with numbers attached to them.

I have lost all apps and need to get them back

my hard drive on my computer crashed. i have had it repaired now but lost all data on it. i have all my apps on my phone. i have tried to tranfer purcases. in the info bar at the top my apps are being transfered. when it finishes tranfering there aro no apps on my pc. i have tried backing up my iphone and it says error. i am using windows 7 with a iphone 4 on ios 4.3.3. also using itunes 10.4. my phone is now starting to go funny when i recieve a missed call it does not show up and my emails do not come through correctly. please help.

To expand upon what gdgmacguy wrote, if you imported the photos thru iTunes to your iPhone, the photos are still on your computer.
If you took photos with your iPhone, they are in the backup. Did you restore from this backup?

Backup Assistant has lost my contacts - how do I get them back?

About two weeks ago, I looked at the Backup Assistant Sync report, and instead of 120+ contacts there were only 4. When I opened my contacts, there were a few there, but only with email addresses. The contact list I had been using was accumulated over 4 phones and consisted of names and telephone numbers.
Sure enough, the email addresses were associated with my gmail account. I did not authorize any change to the data source to sync to. Did Backup Assistant decide to switch to the gmail files to sync to?
This is extremely aggravating. I have lost 6 years worth of telephone numbers. I don't understand why this happened. Does my telephone contact list still exist somewhere? How can I make sure that it syncs to the phone numbers and NOT the email addresses?

you should still be able to access your contacts by logging in online to the backup assistant website.
however, I strongly suggest from there that you export your contacts to a CSV file and import them to your google contacts. Once I did that, I have not had any issues since.

Lost all apps, how do I get them back without paying?

I updated my os earlier today, and walked away from my phone/computer. I came back to find my cat fighting my wire, and he had pulled it out of my phone during the update. Of course, this was the one time I didn't backup because it wasn't my computer. So I plugged my phone into my laptop and went to turn it on, only to find that someone had spilled something all over it, and I cannot get it to turn on. I lost everything, but most of all I want my apps back, I had quite a few. I looked around on the app store for something like download previous downloaded apps but didnt see anything. ANy help?

TS2529 I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore? iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

I updated my iphone to ios 6.0.1 and selected icloud. I lost all my contacts - how do i get them back?

No. Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

From your backup copy of your computer.
Your audiobooks will only be where you put them. It is your responsibility to back up your content.
Audiobooks are a one time download.

Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?
