Do i need to back up all my data on my iphone 4 before i do a factory restore and how do i get all my contact and data back?

If i do a factory restore will i be able to retreive back all my music, photos, text messages and contacts or will it wipe them for good?

Restoring the phone wipes is clean as part of the process. You should read the User Manual to make sure you are using your phone properly so all your data is safe before the restore process.

After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?.

hi all!
Reseting ipad, we are asked to restore info from icloud or itunes. If we choose icloud, the info will be restored, but the apps on the ipad should be downloaded from app. store! because icloud can't save the applications. and If we choose to restore with itunes, the apps will be loaded quickly ,But still we need our info in icloud. and if we go to icloud backup , from ipad settings, we just have one choice: back up now! that backs up the new info, not our backed up info. but we need our backed up info.

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

In this case you would have to reset your new device (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) in order to restore it from a backup during the device setup.

HT4528 My Iphone 4s is plugged in charging after it has fully died. Instead of the apple appearing and staying constant on the screen...the apple is blinking. What does this mean and how do I get the phone to charge/turn back on.

My Iphone 4s is plugged in charging after it has fully died. Instead of the apple appearing and staying constant on the screen...the apple is blinking. What does this mean and how do I get the phone to charge/turn back on.

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Next try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for a least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a iPhone 4s connected my macbook pro. I lost my all data (picture, all massages) in my phone. Why did it happen and how can I get all back?

I have an iPhone 4s and I connnected my phone to my laptop, which is a macbook pro. This is the second iPhone 4s I have had. The first one had a problem and I had to replace it which is the one I have now. When I connected my phone to the laptop, my phone shut down and when it turned back on, all my information from the first 4s phone went to the phone I have now. All the text messages from the old one, photos, apps, etc. Now my information like messages, photos, apps, etc from the current phone is gone, and I need them. What can I do? How can I get that information back?

Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

All the money i had put into buying music, i want a refund how do i get all my money back?

how do i get a refund from all the music i had bought awhile ago??????

iTunes Store purchases are final. There are no refunds.

ICloud appears to have backed up apps, but nothing else after computer crash, IOS update and iphone system restore? How do i get the rest of my media back??

My windows computer crashed last night and shortly thereafter, my iphone updated to IOS 7 and i was forced to do a system restore before i could preform a backup... I tried accessing my old contacts, texts, notes, pics and apps thru icloud (i have it set up to automatically preform backup). It claims that the last back up was after my computer crashed/the update/system restore... I thought all was lost, then went to redownload some old apps. They all appeared with the icloud symbol next to them (instead of "free" or a price), so i'm assuming that i DO have things backed up on icloud? Why are my apps the only media showing back up? Is there a way i can salvage my contacts, texts, pictures and other deleted media still?

Apps are not included in a backup - only a reference to which apps are on the device. They are restored from copies in the app store.
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com. Check the contacts and other pages where your data had been stored. If they are not there, then the only place they could be is in a backup, either to itunes or (/and) icloud. You'd have to restore the backup. If the data is there, then your device is not connected to icloud. Go to Settings>icloud to be sure it's logged into the right account.
As for pictures...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

How do i get just the contacts and photos from my back up without downloading anything else?

please help me.
im trying to just get CONTACTS and PHOTOS only back from my backup on itunes but it wont give me the option to do so.
how do i just get contacts and photos?

You don't.
It is all or nothing.
You should be syncing contact with your computer regularly, so they should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.
You should be importing all pics regularly, so they should be on your computer as well.

Somehow I configured my ipad in some foregin language. how do I get out of this and back to my regular english configuration, Somehow I configured my ipad in some foregin language. how do I get out of this and back to my regular english configuration

somehow I configured my ipad in some foreighn language. How do I get it back to my regular English version?

Settings>General>International>Language>English. if you cannot read the foreign language that you set - General is the setting above iCloud which should be recognizable - and General has the gear icon next to it. International should be the third one up from the bottom of the general window and language will be the setting at the top of the next window.

How do I turn the cloud on in my itunes library? And, how do I get my tv shows to show back up on my apple tv?

I had the cloud in my itunes library and then I went on itunes a minute later and it was gone. I have gone into Preferences>Store>Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases, but it's not working. Now my cloud music, tv shows, and movies are all out of my library and I have no idea how to get them back.
What started this whole issue is the my apple TV stopped showing my shows. So, I also need to know how to get my shows and movies back on my apple tv.
HELP!

This works IF the Cloud is working, which it has had a nasty habit of not doing with regularity the last several months. It seemed at first to be isolated, but this is a regular non-feature lately, with Music, TV Shows and Movies. I have brought this behavior to the Forums all too often. Best to download them all to your own "cloud" in the form of a separate media back up drive, they are cheap. Also, if a media type (eg, song, movie, tv show or episode) is no longer available in the iTunes Store, it is solid gone. That is where the cloud gets cloudy...
Hey, it is only content we paid for but can't get.
Oh, my dog just explained it all to me. It's sunny outside and there are no clouds. Wow, he's right again.

Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

My IPhone4 back screen is damaged. I have puchsed it from US and using in India after factory restore.
How can I get it repaired and how much it would cost me for original part to to be replaced.

To have Apple repair the phone, you would need to send it to someone you know in the US to have him or her bring it to Apple for repair. The iPhone warranty is NOT international. In addition, Apple doesn't sell parts.
