Can I recover lost app data after restore?

Hi everyone and thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some help!
Apple recently told me some issues I was having with my phone were software based and they refused to issue me a replacement phone until I attempted to setup the phone as a new phone in iTunes. I did so and it didn't fix the issues. I am waiting on a replacement, however, in the meantime, I am restoring to the backup file from iTunes. I have restored all of my general data but, all of my app data is missing.
I'm most concerned with an app that keeps track of my time off requests for work (including info on all of my vacation days and sick time, from the last 5 years) as I know I have time to take off before the end of the month. I know, it sounds silly.
Bottom line, is there a way to restore the backed-up app data to my phone? I've never had this problem when I've used the backup to set up a new phone or a replacement in the past.
Many thanks!
Note: I have an iPhone 5 and am using a Windows based computer.

The backups are completely random and although I backed up daily and, as a precaution, 4 times previous to the advised restore, there is only one that is current (the next most recent file is from a year ago).
As mentioned, I've previously had no issue with this. I've received replacement phones and purchased upgrades in the past, and never had any issues with app data syncing.
Should I try another restore from backup or is there something else I should be trying?

Apple support can not recover my app material after IOS5 update. Please help

For 4 days I have tried to get Apple to help recover my lost data from my IPad. I had backed it up previously but it is not found on my computer after the ios5 upgrade. All the materials on all my apps and my purchased book about steve jobs is gone. please help!

You need to restore your iPad from your most recent backup in iTunes to get back your settings and app data. If you can't find a backup, your data may be lost. If you'll tell us what OS your computer is running, we can tell you where to look for the backup files.
Your music, videos, apps and books from the iTunes Store should be in iTunes and can be synched back, but if not for some reason, you can download them again:

How can I recover lost photos from a restore on an iPod touch 4g

Ok so I have an iPod touch 4g that I had not used for about 2 months as I have been travelling. When I tried to use it I realised that I had forgotten my passcode and as I sold the laptop that I used to use to sync my iPod to just before I went travelling I have no back ups of data and I couldn't unlock my iPod. So in the end I decided I had to restore the iPod using my sisters laptop so that I could use it again as I didnt know the passcode. However my problem is that I had lots of photos stored on my iPod that were special to me and my family, is there any way that I can retrieve these photos?
If anyone can help I would be very grateful
thanks

Lost app data after sync

Hi, yesterday I connected my ipod to my computer and when I disconnected, I noticed that my apps were gone but were still in itunes. I reconnected it and told it to sync the apps. When it finished I found that all my apps were back in my ipod but they were all moved to the end. That's annoying but whatever.
Later on, I realized that all the data for my apps were gone. I'm especially concerned with a bible app that I have on there. I had so many notes and highlights that are all just gone now. I notice that all the notes I made in the notebook that came installed on the ipod are all still there, however.
Is there any way to restore my apps' data?

Only way is to restore from backup via iTunes.
Restore iPod touch from a backup:
1 Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with.
2 In iTunes, Control-click iPod touch in the Devices list and choose “Restore from Backup”
from the menu that appears.
3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
If your backup is encrypted, enter your password.

How can I recover lost iPhone data

I recently performed a sync with Oulook. The file was corrupted and I lost all my iPhone contacts and calendar data. I am unable to repair the pst file. Can I restore my device from an old backup in iOS?

Yes, you can recover from an old backup, but it will recover everything in that backup; there's no way to selectively recover from a backup. Which is a good reason to back up daily.
If you back up to your computer connect the phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose "restore from backup". If you back up to iCloud go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase All Content and Settings. You will then be asked if you want to restore from the iCloud backup.

Lost All Data after Restore

I was getting an error message when I tried to sync my iPhone, so I eventuall decided to do a restore. I figured after I had restored, it would be simple to go to a backup and have all my data back. Problem was that during the restore, my hard drive got full, and now I've lost all my data. It won't let me get to my back up.
Can anyone help get to the back up data?

If there's no backup, there's no way to restore the data.

Why my atv can't set time and date after restoring it using itunes ?

when my atv restarting after I restored it using iTunes, it can't set the time and date.
the atv is connected to the net by wi - fi.
when I try to sign in using my apple id, I get a massage that the password is incorrect.
I have apple tv with ios 7.

The network and signal test on device won't give the full picture, for that you need a network report. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar, that will show true signal strength as well as any nose detected. You can also try Ethernet to help rule out WiFi issues.

Recovering Lost iPhone Data After Failed Backup

So my mother is somewhat technically challenged and has never backed up her iphone before.. Basically I told her to do so and get the newest software update but I think an error occurred during the backup procedure and she continued with the update/restore anyways. So she lost all of her data and is very sad . Is there any possible way to find the data either on the restored empty phone, or on the computer from the failed backup (maybe it made a corrupted file that we can fix?)
Please help!
Thanks!

No, sorry. Without a backup it is gone. Did you backup to iCloud by chance?

How to recover lost video files after restoring from back up

I recently had to restore my ipad completely one day in order to update it and I was in a rush. So I took my iPad before I could restore it from a back up. So I set up the iPad as a "new" iPad and just started using it. I bought iMovie with my iTunes account on the "new" iPad and started filming from the iPad for a school project. So I edited the footage in iMovie and had a finished project. Then I went home that night and decided to just upload my most recent back up from my old iPad. In doing so I lost ALL my footage. iMovie still has everything in the correct place and says that my project is just missing some files. Is there ANYWAY I can get this footage back? Isn't it still on the iPad somewhere? Please someone help me out!

If their on your iTunes on your computer, try plugging in your iPod and dragging the files from the iTunes Library on your computer to the library on your iPod. Hope it helps(:

Can I recover lost apps?

iTunes has lost two apps that I have paid for before I updated my iPod Touch Gen 4. Apparently there is a way to get them back, but how?

Got the same page when I checked with Apple support. Only the 'Purchased' page will not open in iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 (I did not try under 10.3) I only get the 'what's new for 10.3' page
Edit. Some how I'm in the Mac section, I started in the Windows area. I am running under XP.

I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4 I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

I havent' took any backup of my notes in icloud. The moment I enter the password after restore my notes will be empty. The only option to get notes back is that after restore skip entering icloud password. But any time I enter icloud password anywhere again my notes will be empty. I have huge data saved in my notes. Apple need to look into this issues very seriously. This is the 5th time I restoring my iphone today just to get my note back.

I have the issue with losing all my notes and I don't even know why. I can't remember changing any email account info. What happened to them?

Please Help!

If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
