How do I retrieve all of my music, videos, apps, and pictures that were lost after I updated to the new iOs 5 thing
tech support sent me here and I need to figure this out
Some of those are part of the backup, for example photos, app data and settings and much more:
iTunes: About iOS backups
If you still have the backup from the time before you updated, use it to restore from.
Download the apps again for free before you start, apps are not part of the backup data made by iTunes.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Those apps should also be part of your iTunes library on the computer you usually sync to.

How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?
Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?
Yes it should be possible deppending on your version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

How can I recover bookmarks and files that were lost when Firefox updated?
This morning, there was a message that firefox needed to be updated. Since I don't like (or use) Google Chrome or IE, I unchecked those options as part of the update. Once the update was completed, all of my bookmarks and folders were gone. Is there ANY way to either recover the missing items OR restore/roll back to the firefox browser I was already using?
Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
If not, please see - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]], and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you. -
How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?
The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not. The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right. While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour. This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation. I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not. It's this second step that causes the confusion. Nothing lets you know to wait that process out. I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?
Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -

Check for previous backups in iTunes. Use iPhone Backup Extractor and extract contacts from iTunes backup if they exist.

How do I get Find My Friends to say my friends names instead of email as it did before the new iOS?
Go to Settings > Privacy > Contacts and change the setting for "Find Friends" to "ON". That should also allow Find Friends to now access your contacts and dispaly names and photos.

I am having trouble with the music from my bluetooth "skipping" on my IPhone 5. I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology. It's very frustrating to purchase all of this music and expect great sound and playability and get "skipping". Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Does the issue occur when listening to the media using the speaker or wired headphones? If it does, the issue is with the media itself.
If it does not, it's likely a bad connection or interference. -
How do i prevent restoring my iphone4 after updating to the new ios?
I decided tonight to finally update to the new version of ios7. I already updated to 7 when it came out but have been avoiding the newer versions of it...until tonight. After it loaded the update and tried turning on, it showed the charger chord inserted into itunes. So i did just that. But then itunes told me that my phone needed to be restored!!!! Holy ****!!!!!! Im going to lose all of my photos. So many memories. I cant lose them...I'm so upset with apple. This is the third time something like this has happened. When you update your ios, youre not supposed to lose any data! Is there ANYTHING i can do? I really need your help, guys. Will everything still be there if i downgrade to the older ios? And if so, how do i do that? I'm so technologically challenged. But I will tell you, I'm never buying an apple product ever again after all this.
If this is the third time that this has happened to you, I don't blame you for being upset. On the other hand, after the second time, you should have learned the importance of backing up your iOS devices and apparently you didn't do that or you wouldn't be in such a panic.
You cannot downgrade the iOS, You have to restore your phone now and all of the contents will be erased. I think you know that though, and I think that you know that there is no way around it either. -
I am trying to locate all of my music... It is not under my account, not in my Itunes, and I don't know anything about the cloud. Please assist.
Unless you subscribe to itunes match, icloud has nothing to do with music. Are you syncing music from a computer's itunes to a device?

Using an old broken iphone 3rd generation at the office.. broken face and back, no SIM card to run itunes and spotify through the stereo using wifi.
Decided to update the spotify application (thus, the phone) and plugged in to restore the phone settings. Apple upgraded the phones operating system, and now I have NO access to the phone ... in set up it requires a SIM card.
How do I bypass this so I can return to listening to music? To update the spotify app? I need this as an itouch and it's not offering me the option....You cannot activate without a sim.
You need a sim in the iPhone to activate it after the
update. The sim does not need to be associated with an active
account; but if the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, the sim
needs to be from that wireless provider. -
I recently updated all of the computers in the house to itunes 11. Now when we try to import songs from homesharing, we are unable to. What happened to the conveniently located "import song" button on the old version of itunes. Please help an old mother out please!
diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

Why won't my music sync on my iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8.
When I try to sync my music not all the songs come over onto my phone. The player sees what should be there and then skips them.
