Can i retrieve a lost profile

Hi,
Is there any way to retrieve a lost profile? I linked my wife's iPhone to my MAC book to download photos, and iTunes kicked in to ask me if it was ne or her iPhone. I picked her iPhone, not knowing this was an old profile linked to her old iPhone from 15 months back. So iTunes duly wrote this profile onto the new iPhone and deleted all photos, apps, texts etc from the last 25 months. No back ups exist.
Any thoughts? even on how to get just texts back? I think we are resigned to the fact the photos are gone, but are keen to see what options may exist.
Thanks!

You were prompted to transfer a backup to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone?
If so, this means the new iPhone has not been connected to iTunes since it was purchased. The prompt provided is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If there is no backup for the new iPhone including an iCloud backup, the data is lost.
Had you selected as a new iPhone, this would not have occurred.

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

The photos could have gone a couple of different places ...but it is unlikely that they are lost forever. It kind of depends how your Backup was done. With many Computer-based iTunes connections, your Computer Photo App will actually open first when you connect your iPhone and the photo transfer will happen between the iPhone and the App. Assuming that isn't what happened in your case, but you did Backup on iTunes, you could reconnect to iTunes and then click on your iPhone button on the Computer screen ...typically the iTunes Summary screen will show up ...but you can tab-through the various iTunes Screens and find the Photo page. You could check your options and see if you have a Manual Sync setting regarding iTunes to iPhoone ...this would mean you have to select the Photos you want to download to the iPhone during the Sync.

How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks on my ipad ?

How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks from my ipad ?

See if this gets them back.
Quit Safari completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can you retrieve a lost link to online form?

One of the respondents to my online form has lost their email with a link to their saved form. Is their any way for them or I to retrieve the link?

Does the respondent still have the window with the retrieved form? If the retrieved form is still on the browser window, he can save the form again. Right after that, he will see a message at the bottom right corner of the form saying "Progress saved successfully. Re-send email with link". By clicking Re-send email with link, he will be able to have the link email sent again.
If he doesn't have the retrieved form on a browser window, unfortunately, there is no way for us to identify which data belongs to him, since all form data are saved anonymously. The data link contains a randomly generated key and it serves as a receipt for the respondent's data. Without the link, we have no way to locate the data.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, once a file is deleted, you won't be able to "undelete" it.
Have you backed up your iPad using iCloud or iTunes recently? If so, you can restore the entire content (not just a single PDF file) on your iPad.

All contacts and all text messages were gone. How can i retrieve the lost contents? Pls help me.

Hi! I was browsing my facebook account when my iphone 3G restarted on its own. The apple icon appeared and when the "restarting" process was over, I lost all my installed apps, the contents of my phonebook were gone, all text meassages saved were also gone. It was as if I had a new phone again. I am really lost now and I don't know if there is a way of retrieving my contacts and my messages. Please help me if you have encountered this same problem before. This is the first time I had a problem with my phone and now everything is gone without a warning.
Please help me. Thanks!

I upgraded to OS5 yesterday and all my contacts including names, email addresses, and phone numbers have been deleted. When I tried to revert to a previous back up, the only one was the one that was done right before I downloaded the new OS. All other previous backups were gone. In addition, I bought 40.00 worth of extra storage space to back up to iCloud and had to start it over several times before it finally worked...25 hours later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am MAD that the new OS download procedure deleted EVERYTHING in my contacts. The only thing that remains are my favorited phone numbers but none of them are labeled so I have no idea who anyone is except I sort of know where some people were on the list. This is HORRIBLE and so far I've seen hundreds of these exact kinds of posts all over the Net, not just here on the Apple website. I've done everything I could on my own and tried several things that have been suggested by other Apple users here in the forum. Nothing has worked and evidently nothing was saved to my iCloud storage, either. Now I'm having to pay for a 1pm phone call with tech support that I'm sure will cost me a freaking fortune to tell me that I'm screwed-and that'll be 75.00, please.
yeah, Genius. Nice job Apple.

Can I retrieve a lost calendar from a back-up?

Lost Calendar: I have an 8 GB MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011) processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and 16 GB iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.3. I am using Calendar version 8.0. About a week ago my primary calendar which I share with my husband just went missing from computer, my phone and his phone. He noticed it. I was not aware of doing ANYTHING that would have deleted this calendar, nor did I have any warning that I might be deleting it. I attempted to restore from a back-up but do not have the expertise required if it is even possible.

How can i retrieve my lost contacts after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

I just upgraded to to the iOS 5.1.1 and a few hours later all my contacts disappeared. I tried to restore through iTunes but that did not work. - UPDATE as I am writing this. I got through to Apple Customer Service and because I had selected the option to backup to my computer (iMac 10.5.8) it was actually saving all my contacts to my "address book" app. Since I never used that application I didn't even think to look there. I just re-synced my contacts selecting "all contacts" and I was back in business.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer! You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone. As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses. Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation. Is that what you were wanting to know?

How can I retrieve a lost file in Time Machine?

Hi,
I'm using a Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro.
One day, I noticed that one of my fiels were missing, so I went in to the time machine looked for it (roughly the time period when I created it),
but it wasn't there.
Is it possible to loose files in time machine?
Is there any way to retrieve them?
Please help.
Thanks

Note: the User's Library is hidden by default. It's also hidden in Time Machine. You have to be in the User's Library in order to restore items from Time Machine.
Under Go in the Menu bar hold down the Option key and select Library.
Scroll down to the 'stickiesdatabase'
If you don't see the file, open Stickies and create a new test sticky. This will create the 'stickiesdatabase' file.
Once you see the file, select the file.
Enter Time Machine.
You should enter in your User's Library showing the file.
Go back in time to when your actual file existed with your data.
Select Restore.
