Backed up Contacts and lost all other apps!

Please help! I just backed up my iphone contacts to Yahoo via itunes and now cannot get into any of my downloaded apps. This includes my daily planner app which tells me everything that I have planned/scheduled for the next few months!

Correction - I've just found my paid for games - they're in applications rather than games. Have lost Snake though - but then I never played that so don't care so much.

  • I had to reinstall a harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps, where can I get a new Apple Works?

    I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps.  Where can I get Apple Works?

    Allan:
    It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
    I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem.  I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
    Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
    Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
    I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
    I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!

  • I have an iphone 5 and use verizon service.  I just lost about 60% of my contacts.  I am using verizon back-up assist to sync my contacts.  I actually had to have my phone reset at the store and lost all my app etc.  I want to avoid this in the future.

    I have an iphone 5 and just suddenly lost about 60% of my contact list.  They just disappeared from my contact list.  I also could not add new contacts. Someone told me that it might be because I was using verizon back up assist.  I had my phone reset at the store and am now using icloud.  I lost all my apps and have had to manually re-enter my contacts.  I would like to avoid this happening again.  Is it my phone? Can anyone comment.  Thank you!

  • Updated to iOS 4.2 and lost all my Apps

    Hello,
    So I have had a series of unfortunate events that have lead up to me losing all my apps. I use a PC which died last week (I am in the midst of trying to get in running). This week, iOS 4.2 is released, so I use a different computer to perform the update. During the process, it appears to be backing up, etc. However after 2-3 hours for the whole process, I find my iPad has lost all the apps (and associated data, i.e. documents, music, movies, etc) that were previously stored on my iPad. Most of my apps are free, however I do have a fair number of apps that were not.
    I'd probably not be quite as upset as I am if not for the aforementioned death of my PC, and now this. And at this point, I don't have a way of recovering anything. Is there anyway to at least get my apps back?

  • Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

    Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
    I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

    I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.

  • Set iPad to only scroll through a limit amount of pictures and disable all other apps

    Hi there, is it possible to setup an iPad to only allow users to scroll through 3 or 4 pages, and have all other features disabled?  This will be for a customer display so that people can only view these 3 or 4 pictures and not to be able to use the iPad for any other purpose, i.e access the internet, to tie down the iPad, so to speak.  Many thanks  in advance.

    You can currently have the 'picture frame' icon on the slide to unlock screen via Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Picture Frame 'on', and you can limit which of your photo albums show in that via Settings > Picture Frame. Though you can't stop people trying to exit the picture frame and trying to enter the passcode.
    With iOS 6 later today there will be new accessibility functions which might help (from here) :
    It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen.

  • I upgraded to Maverick - and lost all my apps - how do i retrieve them?

    I upgraded from iOS to Maverick - and now i lost all my original iMac apps - like iPhoto and iMovie --- Please help me retrieve them.

    Do you have (or did you have) PPC apps.   If so none of those would have survived the transition to Mavericks.   You can check the apps you had here, though it looks like you may be too late.

  • I have updated my iPad 2 with iOS 5 and lost all my apps.

    When updating my iPad 2 evey single app was lost. I am wondering if there is anyway to recover them, and all the info that was held in them. My photos were kept, but that was all (no music was available to be lost).
    I have tried syncing to iTunes, but apparently the backup was never done/completed, or it just didn't work.  This angers me greatly, and it is something that Apple HAS to fix. I have seen that this has been happening to many other people with their iPads as well, and when I talked to support about it, I was blown off.
    Time to step it up Apple. If you want to keep going without Jobs, you HAVE to live up to your own reputation.

    It sounds as if you were using iTunes for sync/backup, not iCloud. Presumably you had noticed the device being backed up in the past? When was your most recent backup from? In my case, the iOS upgrade process triggered its own backup, so when the new OS was installed, my iPad looked exactly as it did prior to the upgrade.
    I'm not sure the problem is Apple's to fix, as you put it: it may simply be terrible luck that your backup file happened to be corrupted. :^< It's never any fun to be the outlier, I know that for sure.

  • Iphone recovered and lost all my apps

    Apps are designed to sync back to your computer so they are stored in iTunes for cases like this. If they are not in iTunes because you never synced the iPhone or you only buy apps on the phone and never sync them back to iTunes, you will have to download them again. They are free to download. You can find a record of all your purchases by viewing your store account in iTunes under the store menu.

  • Downloaded new update and lost all my apps????

    Any idea why Apple would design a software update that completely erases all the paid apps I downloaded.   Any idea how to fix?

    .... O yes, and if you don't have a backup, login on the mobile device with your itunes store account, and "App Store" - Updates shows you everything you ever bought for redownload.

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

    Hope this helps

    The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.
