Have ipad2 & just added iphone5. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it took blank iPhone calendar as default and wiped out my iPad calendar with my "life" on it! Can I recover the lost info?
If you backed it up to your computer using iTunes, restoring to the backup should recover it. (Apple's documentation isn't clear about whether or nott an iCloud backup includes your calendar events but it may.)

I recently forgot a new passcode on my phone so it became locked. i went to rest this via itunes but when it came to restore the phone non of my data including contacts, apps, messages, photos etc are available. It seems to have restored to a back up from after the phone was wiped. How can i get these back?
There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway. Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now? For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS. If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
Hi my and my husbands iphones are no longer syncing to itunes but have in the past. When i try to download the latest version of itunes it won't let me do it until I load and earliers version....help
No problem.
Okay ... Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through okay? If so, can you connect the phones now? -
I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I synced a movie from my laptop 2 my iPad but lost some music video I purchased from iTunes store. How can I get them back ? Thxs
Sorry, but movies cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

We have a newish apple mac and this morning all our files have vanished - all photo's, vidoes, music etc. How can we get it back? Thanks
First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.

i deleted a pages doc and my time machine was NOT on. Can i get it back? if so how?
If you backed up the phone when the video was still on it, restoring the backup will get it back. However, anything new on the phone since the backup will be deleted.

I Am trying to make a calendar in iphoto. I have the latest ipad and just installed iphoto so everything should be up to date. There is supposed to be a calendar option in the toolbar. There is non that I can find. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
The Apple iTunes webpage for iPhoto for iOS has no mention of calendars. iPhoto for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation), iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iPad (4th generation), iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (4th generation), iPad mini and iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular on the iTunes App Store
AFAIK is only available in the iPhoto for OS X on the Mac.

Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

Hi..I need help. I downloaded my photos off my iphone4S and put them on my mac. I then deleted them off my phone and it also deleted them off my mac. I am a grandmother and the photos (around 250) were of my newest grandson from the day he was born until his first month. I was with them all that time. I have since return hom some 1000 miles away and noew i lost all these photos.. Is there anyway I can retrieve them? I believe photo stream had something to do with it. My daughter will be so disappointed in me and I can't get them back. Thank you!
Apparently they were backed up the day before this happened but I don't know how to get this back. I am new to all this technology...what would you suggest I do next?

I purchased a movie for my grand daughter, Cinderella I deleted it of my ipad cause I had no more room but it seems to be gone off my itunes too! how do I get it back?? please!
If you do not see the movie in the purchase tab of iTunes with a cloud icon next to it, you cannot download it again for free. You will have to purchase it again.
Free downloads of previously purchased movies is not available in all countries and even in countries where movies can be downloaded again for free, not all movies are available for past purchase downloads.
You can see what content can be downloaded again for free in your country here.

Due to a virus on my computer I have had to have it re built and now all my music I have bought is gone. How can I get it back again please.
If for some reason you have failed to do the basics and backup your computer, then you will need to redownload ( if this is available in your country):

Or you could transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
I have a mini iPad and just got iPhone 5c
I have an icloud email address and obviously an apple account what I want to know is can I use these on both my iPad and iPhone.
You won't be able to delete/remove apps which come pre-installed on either your iPad or iPhone such as Stocks, Calendar, Weather just as a few examples only Apps you've installed yourself can be deleted so this would include the likes of Pages if you've added that to your iPhone for example and just wanted to use it on your iPad instead, or vice versa.
By the way realise this is a different thread but how did you get on with your SIM cards?

Hi all,
I purchased a iphone 4 and replaced my iphone 3. I started using the 4 before syncing the 3 because I didn't know how to do this. I just figured out how to sync and was successful however, I have now lost all data (list of to do's, calendar, photos (etc...) that went on the 4 before the sync. How can I get the data back?
Best!
Suzanne (TribalEnergy)YOur data maybe gone, unless you did a backup of your phone, which doesn't sound like you did.

How can I get back deleted contacts from iCloud?
If both phones were syncing contacts with the same account, that's normal. iCloud syncs changes on one devices to all other devices sharing the account.
If you don't have another backup source for your contacts, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.
