How do i get my music and apps back after downloading ios5 for an iPhone 4

I upgraded to ios5 and all of my music and apps were deleted off of my phone. how do i get it back, especially my music becase all the muic on my phone was from just one computer. i've tried the back up option but it doesnt do anything.

Regardless of where the content came from, backups do not contain media.
It is ultimately up to the user to manage their content and ensure it all exists in an accessible location.
Have you failed to maintain backups of your media regardless of which computer it originated on?

  • My computer and my iphone crashed, so how do I get my music and apps back?

    My OS went out on PC while reinstalling Windows my iphone froze.  I took my phone to the apple store and the only way they could fix my was to to reset it.  The reset restore my phone to new, which wiped off all of my pictures, contacts, music, calendar, and apps.  I discovered later that reinstalling Windows wiped my itunes clean. Fortunately, I was able to get a few of my contacts from my google accounts, but not any of the one I had gotten recently.   How can I get back everything I have purchased and downloaded over the last few years?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everyhting back.

    You restore them from the backups you made before you did a complete system restore.
    You do make regular backups, especially before you wipe your system, correct?
    haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
    You can get everything off your iPod touch

  • 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:

  • How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

    If so, then they are gone.

  • How do I get my music and pictures back?

    My iMac is having problems. I think its some combination of the processor and the cooling system, but basically I can't turn my computer on. But that's not what this question is about.
    Before I take the computer in to be looked at and/or repaired, I would like to my stuff off the hard drive. I'm mostly interested in saving my iTunes library (lots of purchased songs) and my iPhoto library, but I'll be happy to get everything off.
    My question is how to do this (and you don't have to explain how to open the back of the iMac, identify the hard drive, or how to unscrew it and take it out of the iMac. I know how to do that). I also have a G4 PowerBook, as well as a LaCie external hard drive, which is where I want to move the photos, music, and other files to.
    Of course I may be wrong, but I think my question is simply what cables, hook-ups, etc. I need to hook the iMac internal drive to my PowerBook. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

  • How to I get my photos and apps back from iCloud?

    Yesterday I had to get a replacement iPhone 4S.  I didn't have time to wait for my photos and apps to restore from iCloud and I want to do it now.  Everything is saying "waiting" but there are no status bars on anything and after 1 hour, nothing has restored.

    If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
    So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

  • How do I get my music and apps synced on the apple tv?

    Do I  synch my I phone with my apple tv.  Apps music etc?

    The AppleTV does not sync, it streams. The music, TV, Movies, Pictures are streamed from your iTunes. The AppleTV has it own apps, they cannot be synced from any other device or iTunes.
    Homesharing is used to enable streaming from iTunes on your MAC or PC. You can use airplay on an iPhone to stream to the AppleTV.

  • HT3819 my kids got new ipads and I set up an apple id for each; how can I get the songs and apps we have already purchased for them from my apple id onto their new devices

    I understand that home sharing requires all devices to have the same apple id to access music, apps, books, etc.
    However, is there a way for my kids to share songs on separate apple ids so we don't have to buy 3 copies of the same song for our family?

    Turn on computer.
    Open itunes.
    Connect a device.
    Select what you want to sync.
    Sync
    Repeat for the otehr device
