HELP Information erased, need it back

Somehow my Address book and ical got erased and are blank. If there a way to undo those or do like a system restore on a PC, like going back to a date when I know they were there, like yesterday. Please let me know, I need my contacts and calendar.

I did back them up. I was backing those items to my idisk, but they aren't there either, now my itunes and photos are gone, but the space on my computer is still the same, so I don't get it. Any ideas other than what you have told me?
If you have accidentally deleted the files, they are probably still on your disk. However, the system then regards the disk space they occupy as available for use. *The more you use the computer, the lower your chances of getting the files back.* Every time you write to the disk - which happens frequently no matter what you are doing (even if the computer is just sitting there) - there's a chance of the lost data being overwritten. Once it is overwritten it is essentially gone. Utilities like those BDAqua mentioned work best if you stop using the computer immediately after an accidental deletion. Therefore, if the data matters to you and if there is any chance that this might be what happened, stop using the computer. Either boot from another drive or find another computer to research the issue on. If it turns out your files have just been moved or renamed, you haven't lost much. On the other hand, if you keep using the disk and the files have been deleted, you may be unable to recover the data. If the data is less important - if you would not pay for the utilities in order to get it back, for example - it doesn't matter if you keep using the disk. If the files have been moved, say, you can find them; if they've been deleted, you can write that off to experience. Only you can make that call - only you know how much the data matters to you.
So, yes, there are other possibilities, but taking the first part of BDAqua's advice - to stop using the disk at all - is essential if you think you might wish to use a data recovery tool if that turns out to be necessary.

N70 HELP PLEASE DESPERATELY NEED MESSAGES BACK

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! JUST LOST ALL MY MESSAGES IN EVERY FOLDER ON MY TRUSTY N7O THROUGH THE EXPLANATION BELOW AND NEEEEED THEM BACK AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WAY OR UNDERSTANDS AND HOW DO I GET THESE MESSAGES BACK??
THIS IS WHAT I DID OR HOW IT HAPPENED:
SORRY FOR LONG EXPLANATION
Was setting my work Gmail -(laptop is in for service)- used "setting wizard" as always-only had the personal Gmail on my N70 and used the other username by mistake- went to "MESSAGE SETTINGS" "EMAIL" selected "mailbox"- "options"- "remove mailbox" the 1st removed no issues but new mailbox wouldn't remove
-took me to "mailbox in use" thought the "mailbox in use" "gmail" was selected tried to remove and nothing happened, pushed (c) to delete and thought maybe I hadn't pushed it properly-(c) again but realized this froze the phone for a bit (or it was just in a long delay), it frozen with only outlined frames visible for a bit,so I pushed "back" a few times ("back" wasn't visible though) it went back to MESSAGES but 1 or 2 of the folder icon's were now blank with a ? in place of the icon. It wouldn't switch off-tried pushing that back button again (WHICH STIL WASN'T VISIBLE AND NEITHER WAS "OPTIONS") 3 or 4 times but before I realized it started reacting but strangely and delayed and then the rest of the message folder icons were now also gone and replaced with ? and now frozen again. I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT because it wouldn't switch off.
Switched it back on and ALL MY MESSAGES FOR EVERY FOLDER WERE GONE. DRAFT FOLDER VERY IMPORTANT- HAD +/- 10 MESSAGES ABOUT 28SMS LONG THAT I WAS GOING TO COPY AND PASTE (which is why I still N70) INTO EMAILS (which I was trying to create)
I know I chose the option long ago to "SAVE MESSAGES TO PHONE" when I first got the phone.
I'm quite knowledgeable with Computer Tech and would have just "restored to previous time" but 2 things- I don't know if it's possible on a "sort of smartphone" and 2: I don't even remember when last I ever did the "back-up phone to memory card"
I have found a data doctor: it "says it's a tool to restore deleted, erased or accidentally lost text messages, phone book saved contact numbers from mobile phone sim card." but it needs a usb sim reader (which I could try get) and the data doctor is quite expensive

I can not load in foxfire, I use Internet explorer use internet. Done the tools, option -change the proxy , didn't work. Cleared out our cookies and double checked that foxfire is allowed through our firewall. Help me, I need foxfire back. Cindy

I don't know what you need here

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

This is a know bug in how iOS is reporting your storage usage. It is avtually an artifact from iOS 6 or possibly even iOS 5. For now, the only way to get it to report correctly is to restore your device as "new" and re-install all your applications manually. If you try to restore from a backup, the corrupt information will be restored along with the "good" information.
From what I recall, it has somethign to do wth the way iOS handles deleting attached images which were received via iMessage. Something about the message is deleted, but the image is orphaned, and is no longer tied to the message, so you can't view it. You might be able to view the images via the "search" capabilities, but I don'r know what that would do for you.

HT1918 Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China. I did not make this change and now the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States. Help!!!

Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China. I did not make this change. My credit card information needs to be updated but the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States. My updated credit card information is not accepted because the country is China. It will not allow me to change the country until the credit card information is changed. Help!!!

This exact thing has happened to me. Did you get it resolved? If so, how??

Hello,
As frustrating as it seems, your best to post any frustrations about the iPhone in the iPhone discussion here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone
As this discussion is for iBook laptops.
Best of Luck.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

HT1296 Help! I failed to back up the data on my iphone 4 16gb using iTunes Version 11.01. The error message read that the back up was corrupt. I am suppose to delete the back up. Can someone help me? I urgently need to back up the data!:\

Hi guys!
I really need help. I tried to back up the data on my iphone 4 on the iTunes version 11.01 but failed.
The error message read : the backup was corrupt or not compatible with iPhone. can anyone advise me on this,
as I urgently need to back up my phone in anticipation for my iPhone 5.
Greatly appreciated!

this usally happens when the backup you tool was from an old ios version. Two options that you can try is
1. Delete the back up by going to edit> preferences> devices & delete back up on itunes & try backing up again
2. Update the ios software of the iphone4 & then take a back up. then try restoring

YOur phone is in recovery mode, any data that was on there is already gone, you will have to restore your phone and use whatever backup you to restore to.

Try this Google search:

It gave me plenty of hits, but be a little careful. I would suggest using the free trial of one of the paid products. As I have never used one, I cnnot recommand any.
And remeber: every time you write something on that flash drive, you risk overwriting your lost file, thus decreasing your chances of recovering it.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
