After updating to 5.0.1 and syncing my iPhone, my contacts and calendar were erased
After I upgraded to 5.0.1, and synced my 3G iPhone through iTunes on my computer, it erased all of my contacts's phone numbers and Outlook email addresses. I did nothing different except upgraded to the latest software - 5.0.1. Can anyone tell me how to get these back on my phone? Ugh!
After 47 minutes onthe phone with Apple Technical Support, here's what we did to get my contacts back on my phone. It would be a good idea to back up your Outlook before you start to be safe.
First you open Outlook, click on File, Export, click on the option "Contacts to a list (tab delimited text)" then save it on your Desktop. Next open your Mac Address Book (may have to find it in Applications through Finder). Click on File, Import, find your file you just created from Outlook on your Desktop and double click on it. You should see an example of what your data will look like on the left of the box. Then click "OK". All of your contact information from Outlook should be imported to your Address Book.
Then open iTunes again with your phone connected to your computer and attempt to sync again. Hope this helps. It was a pain to get to this point but at least I have my contacts backon my phone!

The battery of my iPad four drawn very fast after update to iOS 8.1 and the sensitivity of my iPad decrease until I cannot swipe it and is very lag >< please fix it immediately
Hello alicelan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to resolve the issues you've described:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
Learn more
If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

After updating itunes to 11.1 and phone to ios7, I lost more than 3500 songs from my library. My ipod has 4185 songs less the most recent I purchased.
Is there no way an ipod can be used to restore the lost music? Yes, some of it was from cds but were done a long time ago. Obviously it was acceptable for me to compile this music then, now they want to say since it all wasn't purchased, I can't have what was already mine? Plus I do not use nor want to use the cloud, but it keeps creeping up even though I don't want or use it. HELP!See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Some words are not highlighting on my read-aloud epubs after updating IOS 6.0.1 and iBooks 3.0.1
Some words are not highlighting on my read-aloud epubs after updating IOS 6.0.1 and iBooks 3.0.1 on both my iPad 2 and iPad 3. They are working absolutely fine earlier. I even updated the latest version of iBooks 3.0.2 but nothing is working. Can anybody help?
Hi spati,
I ran into this problem as well. Seems like something funky going on with iBooks 3. Anyways, I had to tweak my read-aloud clip starts in the smil. Where the word was not highlighting, I added a few milliseconds to the timing until the word started highlighting again. Not the most ideal solution, and not sure what exactly causes it because 90% of the words were just fine, but it seemed to fix the problem. Note prior to the problem happening, I had all my clip start timings = clip end timings for the previous word, so there were no gaps.

My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?
Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
Step 1. Turn off iPhone
Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode. -
After updating to iOS 6.1.2, neither my iPhone or iPad will update apps thru App Store. Any suggestions?
What happens when you try?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
My contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?
my contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?
What Kilted said. If your photos or contacts were synced from another computer, get them there. Or if they have become unchecked in iTunes, re-check them and then sync. I had different things synced from two computers, and I think something like this happened to me. Anyway, now I will sync by wifi so probably won't have this worry any more.

With the new update of iTunes I can't sync the iPhone, it doesn't appear anywhere, how can I solve this?
Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.
Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu. Also leave feedback for Mavericks. -

when syncing my iphone with my Outlook calendar, a few days appointments didn't show in my iphone calendar, but other days did. The appointments show in my outlook calendar. I have done this many times, and this is the first time I have had this kind of trouble. Any idea what has caused these appointments to not show?
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.
