How do I get all my photos and contacts back?

I was trying to sync my iphone with my computer when 'restore backup' came up on the screen. I clicked begin and when it had finished it began syncing music.But what had happened was that another phone's pictures, contacts, messages etc. were in my phone and all my messages and photos were gone. My phone is almost a replica of the other one as the wallpaper, texts and pictures are all the same. I'm not sure how to get all the old messages, contacts etc. back onto my phone.

settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings, this will wipe the phone clean, then you will have an option to restore from your backup.

  • HT201317 How do I get all the photos and videos I already have on my ipad and iphone over to photo stream to bring up on my PC

    CAn you please tell me how I can get all the photos and video from my iPad and iPhone that aren't in photo stream so I can get them from my iCloud onto my PC please.

    If you don't physically have the phone then there is no way for you to get the photos or videos.
    Have you been backing up your phone?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  if so, you can restore that backup to your new phone and get all your contents back.
    did you fail to import pics to your computer as you would a digital camera? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • I restored my IPod th other day, and I lost EVERYTHING. How do I get all my music and pictures back?

    I restored my Ipod touch the other day. I lost literally EVERYTHING. How do I get all my pictures back, and all my music back?

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you have a backup of the iPod (iTunes>Preferences>Devices), restoring from that backup will restore photos taken by or saved to the iPod up to when the backup was made. The backup does not contain synced itemslike apps and music.

  • HT1386 how do i save all my photos and contacts from my i pap2 to my computer

    how do i save my photos and contacts from my i pad 2to my computer as my i pad has frozen out

    Try to unfreeze it by doing a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • I've changed my computer, how do i get all my music and films back?

    This is actually knid of annoying as I payed for the films and tv series. The music was from cd's, but still annoying. Any help on getting it from my iPhone back onto the computer would be exellent, especialy if it has nothing complicated to do.
    Thanks much.

    Did you backup all your documents and data first? Normally your user profile contains a Music folder which in turn holds the iTunes folder. All the important details of your library are in there, with the media below in a folder called iTunes Media. If you lose this information and then connect your device to an empty iTunes library it will want to clean it out the device and start over.
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I've not tested it personally.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • HT4236 If i had all of the photos and contacts backed up in my itunes but no longer have me iphone I how can I recover them?

    if i had all of my photos and contacts backed up on my apple account, but no longer have my iphone how do i recover them?

    Your question topic says you have all your photos backed up in iTunes. If so they are on your computer. When you get your new phone you can sync those photos from your computer to your phone.

  • I had PShop 5 in my old PC.  How do i get all my Photos in PS12.

    I had PShop 5 in my old PC. got a new PC, installed PS12. How do i get all my Photos in PS12.

    No, I don't believe so. I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 in aprox 2007 and bought Adobe Photoshop elements 12 from Costco a couple of months ago.
    I had all my photos tagged and organized in 5.0.in old PC. I traded my computer for a Dell all in one. I used the backup program from my internet provider to transfer all my files to the Dell all in one prior to installing the new elements 12. What installed from the elements 12, looks nothing like the older photo shop program . I very well could have done something wrong though!

  • How can I get all my photo out after I instal Iphoto 11/9/2/1

    Hi: I update my Iphoto 11/9.2.1 But I cannot load all my photo from the photos liabary

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • My daughter has an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account. Please help

    My daughter and I both  have an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account so she doesn't get all my texts and contacts. Please help

    Hi Shellyk,
    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and make sure that only your personal email addresses are listed under the individual phone number.Remove the "shared" iCloud email address.
    For the Contacts, if you are syncing them via iCloud and you both have the same iCloud account, you will both have the same Contact list.

    I changed my apple ID and lost everything. How do I get all my apps and purchased items back?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
