my ipone got dropped in water and is now dead can i get the pictures of somehow? i have icloud but didnt set it up properly as nothing saved onto it help needs pic back of my newborn the only ones i havve are on my phone xx

This is unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your iPhone.
The iCloud backup would not contain your photos. But since you indicate you didn't set it up correctly then none of your other stuff would be there either.
If you did have PhotoStream turned on some of your photos might reside there. The PhotoStream is a temporary storage area that allows quick transfer of photos from device to device or device to computer. If you get a new iPhone and use the same ID and password on it you might be able to recover some of your photos there. On a Mac iPhoto can also be used to copy photos from your PhotoStream.
If you regularly back up your photos to your computer then they would reside there. In the future it would be a good idea to begin a regular process of backing up photos, files and other important things from your iPhone.

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

HELP! I wanted to sync with Wi-Fi with iTunes. Then all my apps were deleted! How can I get the Backup from my iCloud now?

As already described I started a WiFi Sync with iTunes. In about 3 seconds all apps were deleted. So all apps that were installed. Some apps waited for download. They are still on...
Now how can I backup to before the sync. The newest datas are in iCloud, maybe that will help! Otherwise I would also try to get it from iTunes. How is that possible?
I really hope someone can help me!

I would check and see if the apps are still in iTunes on your computer and sync with the computer again. Just because we now have WiFi sync at our disposal does not mean that you can't sync with the computer again.
If you have a backup on your computer, you can restore from the backup first and sync any apps that are still missing. I think you can only restore from iCloud if you restore your iPad to factory settings using iTunes on the computer anyway. I see no way to restore from iCloud simply by using the device itself. I'm pretty sure that is how you must do it. Perhaps you have to erase all content and settings on the device and then restore with iCloud and I assume that would work as well. I see no setting in iCloud on the iPad that lets you restore from the backup, so you still have to restore to factory settings some way.
So while we are free from the computer in some ways, IMHO - it still handy to be reliant on your computer. I may be missing something - but after watching a couple of videos about restoring from the cloud, that is the way I think it works.

When i plugged my iphone into PC to add music, i found out afterwards that a number of my contacts were gone. Can i get them back or are they lost forever. Why does this happen?

Why do i lose some contacts on my phone everytime i plug it into my pc to add music to my phone? frustrated!!

For your contacts go to settings on your phone - mail contacts and calendars - scroll down to contacts and change display order to the one you want ( you can also change sort order, but ususally people prefer last name first and see if that is what you have).
For your yahoo emails go on your computer open outlook
In Outlook 2010, choose File > Accounts.
Click account settings and confirm the command by clicking "Add and remove accounts or change existing connection settings."
Select account and click "Change."
Click "Advanced."
Click "More Settings."
Click the "Advanced" tab.
Enter "7" in the box to the right of "Remove from server after."
Click OK.
Close Account Settings.
If you have outlook 2007
In Outlook 2007, choose Tools > Account Settings.
Click the account you wish to edit and then click Change.
Click the "More Settings" button.
Select the Advanced tab located across the top of the window.
Select the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" option.
Select the "Remove from server after" option.
Enter 7 in the box to the right of "Remove from server after."
Click OK.
Close Account Settings.

Have just upgraded (?) to Lion in order to save photos on the iCloud but iPhoto cannot find my 25,000 pictures! Are they lost forever?

Have just installed Lion OS in order to save my many thousands of photos on to the icloud BUT they seem to have nearly ALL disappeared!
PLEASE tell me that they're still there somewhere!
iPhoto simply asks for a library and lists none as existing.
Picasa has found a very few pictures when asked to search the entire computer. Seem to be those used in other applications.
Where are all the others?
How do I rescue them?

Did you make a complete back up of your system before installing Lion?

Can I retrieve Bookmarks from Mac Firefox once I upgrade from Mt Lion (10.8.5) to Mavericks (10.9.5) or are they lost forever?

Years of Bookmarks on Mac Firefox were lost when I recently upgraded from Mt Lion (10.8.5) To Mavericks. I refuse to believe there is no way to retrieve them. Suggestions? Thank you!

When you did the upgrade, was the hard drive formatted? Is there a
folder that has the old files in it? Do you still have your old profiles?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Where in iCloud are they? If they are in your backup, restore the backup to your device. If they are in photo stream, sign into your iCloud account on your iOS device or computer and enable photo stream.

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
