How do I get my pictures and music back?

I updated my phone today to get the newest software.  My music got deleted but my pictures where there.  I did the restore thinking it would take me back to before and it took me back to having a new phone.  I lost all music and all pictures.

  • How do I get my photos and music back into new version iTunes from my iPad?

    I have the new version of iTunes (11 0 2 26) for Windows which installed over my old copy. I see none of my music etc even after it claims to have synced and backed up. How do I get my photos and music back into iTunes from my iPad? It syncs OK with calendar and contacts from Outlook and I can force copying of apps and books but why does it not show music and photos in the iTunes library? help please.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back?

    I had to reset my iPhone. How do I get my apps and music back? It is backed up on iCloud.  Thanks

    Restore it from your iCloud backup. Here are the instructions:
    iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
    Expect it to take a long time, several hours if you purchased many apps and / or songs.

  • I've had to reset my computer, how do I get my backups and music back?

    I've had to reset my computer, how do I get my backups and music back?

    It's a bit late now. You will need to use third-party software such as Phone to PC in order to transfer the files to your new iTunes library. For items purchased from the iTunes Store you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

    - If you backed up the iPod after taking the photos then restoring from backup will recover the photos. To restore from backup see the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore via iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods...".
    - Otherwise if the photos ore not on the computer or iPod they are gone uless you can get them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • HT4859 i took pictures on my iphone previously before i restored it, how do i get those pictures and videos back

    i took pictures on my iphone previously before i restored it, how do i get those pictures and videos back

    Restore is like wiping hard drive of the computer, to get anything back in that case is only possible if you have backup. If you did create backup, follow instructions here to restore from it.

  • How can i get my pictures and music from my ipod to my itunes library after having to get a new computer where none of my file exist

    please help i dont know how to do this and i dont want to loose my pictures or music that is on my ipod and not my computer i had to restore my windows and i lost everything but its still on my ipod touch 8 gb

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use this to put everything back.
    The music and pic sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good) then you can transfer itunes purchases:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    If the pics are pics taken with ipod, then you can import them as you would from any digital camera.  otherwise you can e-mail them to yourself.

    Then anything you had on the phone is gone.

    Set it up as a new device again.

  • I only wanted to restore my settings but i ended up restoring everything (i.e. all data got deleted), how can i get my pictures and books back?

    How can i return my phone back to what it was 10 minutes ago and no i haven't backed up my phone since last year so i do a restore from what i have in my computer, this will only return my phone back to what it was a year ago. please help.

    If you haven't backed the device up in a year, and you did not copy the pictures and other data  off before restoring it, then your stuff is gone.
    It is important that you back up your data, just like with your computer, regular backups are vital for recovering data when things happen.

  • How do i get the apps and music back on my iPod 4th generation after restoring it?

    My ipod touch 4th generation was being really slow and crashing on almost every app. I have had it for 1 and a half years. I decided to back everything up and restore it . This worked almost flawlessly; the problem is that i have lost my apps and music.I still have my photos and contacts and the background is the same and the wifi automatically connected. Is there anything i can do or will i just have to download all the apps and music again? Thankyou

    If not in your iTunes library
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • How can i get my apps and music back after upgrading to ios5? i back up my iphone and sync it. only contacts and settings are the same now..

    above

    Music is never sync'd back across, its always done manually. Apps should automatically sync back across after you restore from backup.

  • I got a new iphone and all they could do was transfer the contacts. they said if i go on my computer i can get all my pictures and music back if i recently plugged in my privious iphone to itunes. what do i do to get my music and pictures back?! help

    i got a new iphone and all they could transfer was my contacts. they said if i go on my computer i can get all my pictuers and music back only if i recently plugged in my privious iphone to itunes, which i did two days earlier. they said it shhoulod be backed up on itunes. how do i get my pictures and music back? helppppp!

    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.

  • HT201250 how do I restore my pictures and music from the back up external drive.  My machine has been serviced by apple and now I can't figure out how to reload the music and pictures.

    looking for idiot proof directions on how to restore my pictures and music to my iMAC.  It was services and the hard drive cleared of my files.  I've reinstalled office 2011 and am now trying to ficture out how to get the pictures and music back.  I backed up the machine prior to the service call, but don't seem to know how to restore the pictures and music.

    It all depends on how you made the backup and with what application.  How was the backup created?

    I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.
