How do i replace the data that was previously on an iphone?

I connected my sister's iphone to a computer via USB to download some photos.  Her husband's iphone data was on the computer.  Instead of just presenting the option to open the folder to view files in trying to access her phone all of his data was downloaded to her phone.  All of her contacts, settings etc are no longer there on her phone.  Please help.

Thank you KiltedTim.  She is not a typical "syncer" or computer/phone interface person so only a few times, if that, has her phone been "synced".  And the time that I synced it I was not presented the option for anything related to her husband's phone so I highly did not expect anything but simply upload options.  He possibly placed his info on her netbook since.  Everytime that I have interfaced any phone to a computer, including hers, a Blackberry, a Samsung, etc., the screen that lists the options including "Open Folder to View Files" comes up automatically.  My understanding of the system prompt to recognize her iphone as it did her husband's was that it would relate the iphone interface software for the upload not replace her data with his.

    Hello edjhsu,
    Unless the drive is in a format that isn't compatible with Time Machine, the files will not be overrwitten. However it is typically a better idea to keep your files and your backup separate, especially since files on the Time Machine drive will not be backed up by Time Machine.

  • I erase my  iTunes library that was on an external hd by accident, how can i restore the data that i lost?

    I erase my  iTunes library that was on an external hd by accident, how can i recover the data that i lost?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then  you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I see the dates that the pictures were taken?*

    How do I find the dates that each picture was taken? It would be like right clicking and seeing when the picture was taken or saved. I can't find this info anywhere.

    Hi catswalk,
    iPhoto is the photo app on a Mac. If you have Windows, it would be under My Photos, or Pictures - not sure exactly. But basically, the picture information is only available on a computer as a direct part of the photos. You should be syncing your iPhone to iTunes on a computer so that you can back up all of your stuff. If you have iCloud, that backs up some things, but not your entire photo library - only your Photo Stream and Camera Roll from your iPhone.
    So, really, it depends on what type of computer you are syncing with.....
    However, there is an App in the App Store called Photo Investigator. It is free, but the free version comes with ads. For .99 cents, you can remove the ads. Once it is installed, you can select any photo on your phone, and it will give you not only date and time, but a lot of other info that you may or may not care about.
    There probably are other apps available to do what you are looking for as well....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • I received a low ink warning on my mac for my epson artisan 837 printer. I replaced the cartridge that was low but it still reads low ink on the mac but reads full on the epson control panel. I am also receiving a communication error between the mac

    I received a low ink warning on my mac for my epson artisan 837 printer. I replaced the cartridge that was low but it still reads low ink on the mac but reads full on the epson control panel. I am also receiving a communication error between the mac

    What exactly is the error?
    And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
    You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

  • I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  Please help!

    I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.   I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto.  I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported.  I greatly appreciate some assistance!

    All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
    The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.
    Regards

  • How can I restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod?

    My iPod classic has failed with an HDD error. I've tried recover mode and everything, it's goosed. Half my music was only on the iPod, a collection over the years from my various computers, it was backed up using itunes however. How can i restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod? (dont have another classic, only shuffle and iphone) I'm guessing itunes holds some kind of virtual image of the ipod classic somewhere. THanks in advance for any info, google didn't produce anything I could use.

    That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right to give her music away. Delete them and purchase your own music.

  • Chrome did something. Insetad of all my Bookmarks, settings and Apps it's a fresh Chrome. Like the day it started. How do I restore the Chrome that was there?

    Chrome did something. Insetad of all my Bookmarks, settings and Apps it's a fresh Chrome. Like the day it started. Virgin, naked, nothing there.  How do I restore the Chrome that was there?

    Chrome 'syncs' your information to its servers, so you can restore this information when you sign into your account, regardless of what device you are using. As for the latter part of your comment, I am not really following. I don't have Chrome currently installed on my machine so I can not help you step by step. All I know is you must SIGN IN to your google account on chrome and check the chrome preferences.
    Google dashboard will show you all the information associated with your google account stored on their servers:

  • I forgot to enable sync on multiple devices hence I lost the data that was synced from my desktop.

    I had enabled firefox sync only on my desktop and forgot to enable sync on multiple devices.
    I lost the data that was synced from my desktop as I have re-imaged my system with new OS and when i login into the sync account none of the bookmarks are recovered.
    Can Firefox team provide me the data that was synced?

    Hi darikere,
    Unfortunately Sync was not meant to be a back up service. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

    How can I retreive a video that was deleted from my iphone??

    If it was a video taken on your iPad, and if you have it backed up from the last time you did an iTunes (or iCloud) backup, then yes, you can restore your iPad using that backup.

  • How can I export the data that consultant have configured?

    I have installed the same systems at two server machine. The consultant have configured something in one server and the developers have developed some projects at the same server, after that, I want to export the data that the consultants configured without the developed projects and import it to another server. How?

    Certain objects can be put into an application designer project, and then exported to file or migrated to another environment. Examples include process scheduler server definitions, integration broken setup, security, and trees. Basically anything you can add through application designer using the Insert > Definitions into Project list. This is the better way but doesn't work for everything.
    Do you know specifically what was configured and what you need to export? There's a DMS script that lives under PS_HOME/script called mvprdexp.dms that lists the core PeopleTools tables, which might be useful if you do have write your own DMS.
