Hotsync wrong and wiped out computer info

Hi there,
I just lost my Centro phone today. I had my old Treo 650, so I decided to hotsync it to at least give me my calendar and old numbers. The problem is that I didn't have the override settings correct and wiped out all of my information on my desktop. Is there a way I can restore my desktop settings, so when I get a new phone it will all be back?

Did you sync your Treo to the same user name as the centro?
Open the Palm Desktop program. On the top-right, you should see your user name listed. If you have more than one user name (one from your Treo and one from your centro), click on the user name associated with your centro and check if all the info is there.
I hope you are able to get all your info!

My PC recently crashed and wiped out all my info including my music..

My PC recently crashed and wiped out all my info including my music, i still have it all on my ipod. is there anyway possible i can restore the songs on my ipod back into my computer eventhough my itunes library is empty? i read something about turning my ipod into a disk drive.. someone please help me!!

DO NOT attach & sync your full iPod to an empty iTunes!!!
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
Extremely Simple & Free Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
1 - Open iTunes
2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
2c --- Click OK to store changes
3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
6 – Eject iPod
7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
8 – File=>Add Folder
9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
10 - Click OK
-- The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes with its correct information
–-- This will take some time depending on your PC’s speed and the amount of songs on the iPod
No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try again switching your update method to 'manual', detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
Here is a post on developing a thorough backup strategy:

Yes, if you still have a backup from the time before this happened, see this article for more info: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

HT1848 recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

Thanks,

When I go to do that it comes up with this question
What would you like to do with previously synced iCloud calendars on your phone?
Keep on my iPhone

Which do I choose to hopefully not create more headaches and or restore?

Have been using your products since 1984. Very sorry I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Time consuming AND wiped out 2007 Quicken. I guess it would have been too much trouble to have red flagged this situation ahead of time. Out of business, literally.

Have been using your products since 1984. Very sorry I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Wiped out all my old applications. Out of business until I get this fixxed. Can I go back to previous operating system? Time Machine?

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
In the future:
Before upgrading consider:
Don't upgrade if you are in the midst of important work. Wait until you have finished.
If you are having problems with your computer get them sorted out before you upgrade.
Verify that any mission critical software will be compatible with the upgrade.

Ipod not recognized and wiped out

when I plugged my ipod touch in it said "download and update" so I did and it wiped out everythin and now iTunes won't recognize that it's even plugged into to my computer to sync? Can anyone advise?

HT1688 Why does when they upgrade my phone they turn on Icloud stuff I did not have and wiped out my phone contacts, but after it did that it took another back up and I could not get my contacts from backup unless I go back sept , why not incremental back

recent upgrade I lost all my contacts, I only had icloud for find my phone. My son backs his contacts up to my id, so when the upgrade happen it wipped out my contacts. I had been doing backups on my computer when I plug it in. But the problem is that it overlays the previous backup and after the upgrade it wiped out my phone contacts. So now I lost them and can not recover them. You need a more robust backup for IPhone.... I can not use the cloud because of my work will not let me. I have confidential information or access to it on my phone. I do not like each time I upgrade I lose my contacts and then I can't recover them because the backup runs again and overlays it. Should be a way to get increamental backups at point and time and not overlay everything. So frustrating with my upgrades and constantly losing my contacts. Very insufficent.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

IPod has "frozen" and wiped out; iPod software "null" on iMac

I connected our older iPod to my Mac the other night. While it is usually synced with iTunes my wife's "side" of the computer, I tried to load my iTunes library onto the iPod. It seemed to be working, but then froze. Although the message on the iPod was "Do not disconnect," I disconnected it. That seemed to have wiped out the contents on the iPod, as well as the iPod software on the Mac. Now when I hook up the iPod to the Mac, the image on the iPod is a disk with a circling magnifying glass. And, I also noticed on the Mac console that all of my prior iPod software updates now have a (null) designation after the task. I assume that means that the programs have been deleted.
How can I get up and running again? Thanks.

Anyone else have this issue? Any luck resolving it? It just happened to mine today. I went to turn it on and all I get is "Wheel Test."
I can't get a menu. I can't even turn it off. Toggle does nothing. I tried to reset, but the computer doesn't recognize that it is even connected. I don't know if it is taking a charge or not.
I've never had a problem or unhappy face on the mini before. Any suggestions?

Have IPhone 4S with 1000 photos that I need to download FROM IPHONE PHOTO LIBRARY to a SanDisk since I nuked my photos on PC. Icloud sysc and sync to PC didi not work and wiped out IPAD Photos.

I have over 1,000 photos and do not want to make 1,000 emails of redueced size photos that loses original jpg date and data.

Synching, ringtones and wiping out my contacts. What is wrong?

I just got a 3GS and imported my contacts from my old phone. Then I made four ringtones and installed them into the Ringtones folder in ITunes. I added them into my phone. Now I made 2 more ringtones but when I tried to install them by dragging from the ringtone folder to my phone ITunes wipes out my contacts. All the ringtones are with extensions M3r as required by ITunes. What am I doing wrong?

The new ringtones have M4r extensions and were easily moved to the Ringtones folder in ITunes. However, when I try to drag them into my IPhone they don't go in and in several cases my contacts are erased by ITunes and I have to go through the process of importing the contacts using the sim card from my old phone. There must be a better way.

New ITUNES Does not allow me to sync and wiped out song on my ipod video

I was prompted to update my ITUNES software (7.02 I believe). Once I did this, it told me that I needed to update my Quick Time Software, which I also did.
I did as I was told and took my IPOD Video out on my walk. It deleted every song on my out except for two. When I attempeted to re synch the IPOD it will not allow me to do it.
The playlists on the IPOD appear to be locked.
HELP PLEASE

I am having the same problem. My library is not showing up on my computer but is on my phone. The only thing on my computer is the 3 songs I just bought. My message says that my Iphone is synced with another library. I do not want to lose the 100+ songs on my iphone. I do not see them anywhere on my Mac computer. Should I sync or will I lose all music?
