How do I get my contacts and pictures back after getting another Iphone?

I just got another Iphone4 from apple today as my older one got broken. After I plugged in my Iphone it did the whole back up thing but all of my contacts and my photos have been erased from my Iphone. I'm wondering how I'm able to get them all back. Some of my friends suggested going on fb and adding everyone back but that will take a while as I had another of contacts on my phone including contacts that do not have fb. Please help me out and give me suggestions. Thanks!!!

I have tried restoring my Iphone from my old back up on I tunes. It just restored my Iphone back to the state it was in yesterday, with the same apps with no contacts or pictures....

  • How would I get my contacts and pictures onto my iPad air?

    I have tried to get my contacts and pictures on my iPad but that is not working and I can not purchase any music at all. Thank you

    Hi Skydiver119.
    Yes, I sync my music to my PC on iTunes.  Your instructions are exactly what I've read you are suppose to do but when I go to the info tab, there isn't a choice to sync from outlook.
    Under Sync Contacts it says;
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.  Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    Thanks again Skydiver119 for your help.
    If I don't hear anything else, I will try to export my contacts and email them to myself but I would think I would have to enter them manually that way, but I don't know.

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

    Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected.

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • Hello...i have lost my all my data because i restored my phone, how can i get all contacts and photos back?

    Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

    Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

    If so, then they are gone.

  • How do I get my "save and quit" back after updating to the latest version of Firefox on a PC?

    How do I get my "save and quit" back I do not like having to close all my tabs and loose all that every time I close out of firefox. When I got the latest version of firefox I lost the ability for firefox to save my tabs when I close out of it. I have to go through the process of opening all my tabs and refinding the sites all over again each time I load up firefox. I can not find the place to change the settings to being back the way they were before firefox got the latest version. I want my "save and quit" back.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • How do i get my recordings and pictures back...? help..!!

    previously had sucess with soft start up... but it is done for this time... i plug it in, it shows me the motorola icon, then shows my battery percentage... no matter how long it has charged from a wall charger... it quickly goes to five, ten and straight to one hundred percent... always the same.... anyways... while my original phone worked... on several occasions i tried to view my pictures and videos on my computer from my phone... and it would only pull up about a third of my files... i used my video recorder for audio recordings because the audio quality was more clear... i play guitar and i would use my phone to record new riffs i wrote instead of going through the hassle of setting up my recording equiptment for a thirty second riff... and use it as i guess an ear reference to figure my riffs out later when i wanted to expand....this seems to be my biggest regret and mistake and i always feared this would happen but i guess not enough to prevent it.... had about 60 video files on my original phone, and as i mentioned earlier, even with tech supports help... could only get about a third or less of those videos veiwable on my computer...  now the original phone wont function and my computer wont recognize it as a removable device...  just got a replacement, put my old sd and micro sim cards in and is the replacement is bringing up even fewer videos and pictures than what the computer would recognize before with the original...   so basically... i guess my question is... is there any hope of recovering my videos or is it a lost cause...? none of my contacts were transferred but as i get texts from old contacts... there name comes up with the new text message.... just hoping there is some internal storage that is the magical doorway to all of my guitar riffs.... really broke my heart...  so anybody... anywhere.... rain down some hope and knowledge on your boy.... thanks for any attempts of help...

    Sync the content to the device the same way you always have.
    Or maybe it would be a good idea to read the manual and understand the proper way (according to Apple) to use the device.

  • After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

    I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone.  Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

    Thanks for replying.  I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there.  I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
    Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
    And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ...  No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone.  After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
    appreciate your experience and help.
