How do I recover my lost contacts and pictures?

I just sinked my phone to my mac book pro and when iTunes asked me which device was i going to pair it with by accident I chose my old iPhone I had back in 2010. So now all of my pictures and contacts are gone from my phone? How do I recover all of this files??? Please help me!!!

Your contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.
You pics should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
If you failed to sync your contacts and failed to import your pics, then they may well be gone.
You can try restoring from the latest backup.

Sync them back from whatever contact manager or cloud service you were syncing them with.

When trying to photostream from iPhone 4 to iPad 2 I lost contacts and Pictures??

I was trying to send photos from my iPhone 4 to iPad 2 and must of had done something wrong because all my contacts were lost and more importantly for me are pictures ( they were too deleted.) I tryed to back up but all I was able to get back were the contacts and pictures from 4 months ago when I synced in my iPhone to the computer. Is there a way to get back the contacts and pictures ????
Please help !!

Check with Sitecomm to be sure that the router is Bonjour compatible.

Here's how I successfully transferred all my Contacts and Pictures from PC!

Hi,
By no means a detailed How-To, but I wanted to share my experience in transferring my contacts and music from a PC with Vista to a new Mac. Note that my contacts were "Windows Contacts" (not Outlook), and the events I had on my calendar where not really synced in the PC, I just had them on the iPhone.
But I had this question on another forum, and I guess some people might have similar issues:
(I also transferred all my songs)
Just in case someone has a similar issue, here's how it all went down:
1. I backed up iTunes from the PC with built in backup function.
2. De-authorized songs in the PC right after.
3. After setting up the iMac, I loaded the backup DVD. I opened iTunes on the new iMac and selected "import" and pointed to the DVD. (If your library is too big, use several Dual-Layered DVD's as the backups can performed on several discs)
4. It imported the entire music Library, shows in playlists as "Imported Library 2007-28-11"
5. Clicked on "authorize" and done.
HERE IS WHERE THE STRESS STARTED, OR SO I THOUGHT
6. Connected the iPhone, it immediately asked if I wanted to sync up the pictures. I clicked "yes". Sent all pictures TAKEN WITH THE iPHONE to iPhoto.
7. Clicked on the iPhone icon on the sidebar in iTunes (where the sync and restore options are), navigated to the "info" tab, selected contacts and calendar and synced.
8. Gave me a warning message saying info on MY iMAC would be altered by more than 5%, I said OK and TA-DAN! I had my calendar synced with iCal and my contacts synced with Address book! All the info on my iPhone actually transferred to the iMac with NO HASSLES!.
Not only that, Safari was able to import all my bookmarks from Firefox on my PC! This is most awesome and unexpected! The only thing I noticed is that my purchased songs from my old iTunes on the PC do not appear under "Purchased" in my new iTunes; so when I synced up the iPhone with the music, they also DO NOT appear in the phone under the "purchased" playlist. The songs are there, and they work fine, they just don't appear on that particular playlist, they appear on the main Library and under the "Backup" Library...
Still, that's a minor detail. Everything went smooth and I love my new Mac!
Switch from PC = Easy!

Well, you can disable the automatic start up of iTunes. That is done in Edit>preferences>Devices and place a checkmark by "prevent iPods, iPhones, etc". Have you been syncing the iPhone in the past? If so, were you using a supported application to sync your address book to? As far as pictures are concerned, you are generally prompted to import your pictures, and if it was me and I took a series of important pictures, the FIRST thing I would have done when I got to the computer was to import the photos.
Check your Windows Address book to see if they are there. If not, you will not be able to recover them.

How do I recover missing iPhoto albums and pictures?

A week ago, all my iPhoto Albums disappeared that normally would appear in the left iPhoto column under LIBRARY and RECENT. When I opened the iPhoto app from both the Dock and the Applications folder, an iPhoto window opens and asks if I would like to set up my iPhoto Library. The first few times this happened, I ignored the request and tried again with the same results.
I tried unsuccessfully finding and restoring the iPhoto Library Database from my external 3TB Time Machine hard drive. I couldn't find any full iPhoto Library Database backup and my backups go back a year. Instead, all I found and restored are photos and videos that were saved outside of iPhoto on the Desktop and in hard drive folders. Several months ago, there was a similar occurrence, but I was able to restore the Library Database. With no luck this time, I eventually allowed iPhoto to start up as if it was being installed for the first time and I never had the option to load an earlier backup Library Database or choose an automatic restore from an earlier version or backup.
While trying to go through various recovery choices with iPhoto, I started getting iCloud login popups asking for my Apple ID and password. I kept cancelling these because I had not previously set up iCloud. When iCloud messages persisted, I finally used my ID and password and the popups stopped. I'm clueless why this was happening and I remain clueless as to what occurred after I tried many cancellations, then finally entered my ID and password. Since then (two days ago), there has been no evidence of iCloud operating or requiring my attention.
After holding the command+option keys to start the iPhoto app, I've tried all the radio button options, one at a time, to Repair, Rebuild, Recover, Examine with no luck. Instead, all that is found are the same files I already mentioned. When I start iPhoto now after allowing it to start up from scratch, the Library Database shows iPhoto Library Recovered Photos (2 photos), Resources (176 photos), a CD backup, Desktop, and lots of short collections of media, resources, thumbnails, and other graphics images I don't recognize and are probably Invisibles. The only photos that appear when Photos is clicked in the left colum of iPhoto are photos that were apparently imported from backed up desktop and hard drive folders. All the photos that were previously imported to iPhoto and stored in iPhoto albums no longer appear individually or in albums in the left column of iPhoto.
I'm using a one-year old iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 with iPhoto '11 Version 9.2 (626).
I'm reasonably confident the phtoos and albums are recoverable somewhere, but I'm at a loss to find out where. I've been running Macs since 1984 and this is the first time I have been totally unable to explain or recover from an OS, hardware, or app-level problem.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. If absolutely necessary, I could pack up all my gear and take it to an Apple office 23 miles away for help.

My problem was not so much the loss of pictures, but the loss of their virtual association into albums I created because the albums were no longer appearing when iPhoto was started. I was reluctant to do any reinstalls of the OS, Tme Machine, or iPhoto because I was confident the existing installs were as they should be. Instead, I explored earlier Time Machine backups of iPhoto-related files and folders. I tried several different files/folders to see what I could find when I restored and opened them. To my delight, I found an earlier "iPhoto Library (original)" that, once I restored it to my desktop, iPhoto automatically found the virtual album-photo associations that existed prior to the earlier loss of albums; the restored albums appea as they should in the left column of iPhoto. This "fix" was not intuitively obvious to me, but I was pleased it worked.
A simple iPhoto explanation through iPhoto Help would have been very helpful if the explanation would have said iPhoto Album and Smart Album photo associations are logical, not physical, and the associations and album names are store in the iPhoto Library folder.
At this point, I'm hesitant to move the restored "iPhoto Library (original)" from the desktop, perhaps to the Applications folder, because I don't want to run the risk of undoing what seems to be working. Should I leave this on the desktop or move it?

LOST CONTACTS AND PICTURES HELLLLPPPP!!!

I was having trouble downloading the new software and I accidentally restored my settings is there any way to get my pictures and contacts back?

If you refer to ios5 as "the new software" = iTunes has stored backups of the content on your machine. Connect the device ans look for the restore button.

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

HT201272 i backed up my phone and lost my contacts and pictures. can i recover them?

I backed up my phone and i lost my contacts and pictures. can they be recovered?

You should be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. They should be in Outlook or whatever program you chose to sync your contacts.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
If you failed to do this, then it is all likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.
