Hey there and welcome to the forums!
How, exactly, did you conduct the update? Under some methods, it provides the opportunity to do a backup before the update...
If you updated on a PC using the RIM desktop software, this would have been offered to you. If you did not cancel it (I've no idea what "step 9" is), then that backup would have produced a file with an ipd extension...search your entire hard drive for *.ipd. Inspect the results (date/time of the files mainly) and choose the appropraite one. Then, use the RIM software to restore:
KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to the BlackBerry smartphone
If, on the other hand, you did not use a method of updating that conducted a backup and/or you canceled the backup step (if it was step 9, for instance), then I am sorry for your loss and you have some work ahead of you.
Good luck and let us know!

All contacts, photos and apps deleted after updating to IOS 6

After updating my 4s to IOS 6 all my contacts, photos and apps were deleted. I even tried connecting to itunes and restoring to backup with no luck. Any idea how I can re-gain all my contacts, photos and apps?

Use iTune to update your apps.
Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

How can I get my photos and all media back which got deleted while updating software

Helppppp!!!!!!

If you were updating from your comupter then, the computer would have created a backup of the iPad and you will be able to restore you iPad from the same backup.
On the other hand, if you updated your iPad from the the Software Update feature available directly on the iPad, then all might be lost, depending on the following situations:
1)If you were backing up and syncing your iPad from the comupter, you can restore your iPad and restroe with the backup.
2)If you were backing up your iPad on iCloud, you can restore your iPad from that backup by restoring your iPad and when prompted, restore from iCloud Backup.
3)If you were not taking any backups in any form then there is nothing you can do.

Do my messages get deleted when updating firmware?

Subject asks it all ^_^

Nothing should be deleted when updating firmware. However, standard practice when updating ANY computer's OS is to do a complete backup first. With the iphone, that means either performing a sync(first part of the sync process is a backup), or right clicking the phone in the device pane & selecting backup. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a current backup to restore from.

i dont have backup to restore. how can i recover the data back?

You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch onto my Mac

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch back onto my MacBook? I hate that I could lose my entire music library by dropping my iTouch in the toilet.
I've tried to plug in my iTouch into my MacBook, but I can't seem to give the music-transfusion without subscribing to iTunes Match or just completely wiping my iTouch.
PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

I'm on itunes on a different computer and all my music and everything isn't here. How do i get it?

Copy it to disk or external drive or flash drive, then copy it to the other computer. You can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Please define "unlocked iphone 4". It is not clear what, exactly, you did or how it would have affected anything.

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.

The article from which you came provides step-by-step instructions on re-downloading purchases. Where in those instructions are you encountering difficulty?

RAZR M reset itself automatically for no apparent reason. Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

MeAndCoke,
So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

I did the 6.1.2 update and all of my pictures are deleted. HELP

The 6.1.2 update came out today for the iphone and I updated it thinking it wasn't different than the last updates, well it ended up restoring which deleted all of my contacts, most of my songs, most of my apps and ALL OF MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS from the past year. I havent had time to sync my phone in like a month so none of my pictures are on my laptop. How can I get it all back?

Sorry, but if you didn't bother to back them up, they're most likely gone.
