How can I retrieve messages if I have not backed up
I accidentally deleted a contacts text messages that I need. How can I get them back if I haven't backed up.
As far as I know, if you do not backup your pictures, it is hard to recover for an iPhone 4S. Its a hardware limitation. So how about your iCloud storage.

My calendar cleared itself. I have not backed up my iPad....can I restore the calendar?? how???
Thx!First of all have your friend restore the iPad as a new device and wipe it clean for you. Or on the iPad go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings and this will erase everything from the iPad.
You can create your own iTunes account on your computer or on the iPad. Read this.

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksHello mcegirl4,

Please refer to the instructions in the following article to assist in downloading those previous purchases from iTunes and the App Store:

How do I retrieve messages that were accidentally cleared?
If it's on iMessage go to another iMessage device that's currently set up with your account and it might be there. If it's a normal text, go online or contact your provider to see your incomming and outgoing messages.

If you didn't make a back-up of your music/movie purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage" iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
Failing this, you could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

HT201250 how can I check that all photos have been backed up in time machine
I have used Time Machine for the first time to back up my Macbook Air. Macbook Air's iPhoto shows approx 5200 pictures on file.
How can I check that the external hard drive (Time Machine) has all 5200 saved correctly before deleting the photos from the Macbook Air ?The only way to check a back up is to do a restore of it.
However, why are you deleting your photos from the MBA? If you do they will also be deleted from Time Machine eventually. TM keeps a rolling back up of your machine. It copies and maintains your additions and deletions. Eventually, these photos will be deleted from TM too. It's not an archiving app.

TS2972 How can I deauthorise a computer I have not got anymore

I am trying to get home share on a new laptop with iTunes Match but it says I have 5 computers already
But when I looked at the devices it says I only have 3
That is Mac mini ,ipad2,iPhone 4s
I also just got a Apple TV but that hasn't come up on the list
I think I didn't deauthorise the old laptop that I gave away but it has been reformatted since they had It.
Sorry this is so long and complicated hope someone can tell me how I can get my new laptop with windows 8 on to home share in iTunesAuthorization applies ONLY to computers.
Ipods/iphones/ipads/Apple TVs are not authorized at all.
If you have reached the limit of 5 computers, then you can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers. -
