How to restore SMS after iPhone 4 was upgraded to iOS 5; all the SMS are gone

I upgraded my iphone 4 (not 4S) to iOS 5 yesterday and all the SMS disappeared. The last back-up I have is from May 2011. Is all the previous data overwriten with the new data? Is there any way I can restore my SMS back? ANY WAY? I really wany my SMS back.

I have the same issue after the update.
I have a Belkin N1 Vision router which is set to use B,G & N but the iphone 4 refuses to connect to the network.
I dont have phone support. So looks like i might be heading to the Apple store tomorrow to the Genius Bar.

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

Upgraded to Yosemite and all my files are gone

I upgraded to Yosemite on my Macbook pro and once it restarted after the install, my desktop was empty and all my documents are gone.
I do have a time machine backup on an external drive but I am hesitant to connect it for fear of losing overriding that data too.
I did get an error that the library need to be repaired so I am wondering if the update did not process correctly

I'm seeing a lot of activity about this on other forums about like this one: "
Mail index damaged after yosemite upgrade"
I'm betting I'm seeing the same problem. Should I try this?:
Try re-indexing and rebuilding the mailbox:

Upgraded to '09 now ALL my projects are gone HELP - PANIC!

I just upgraded to 09 and now all my projects are gone??? I have time machine running but when I click on that in the projects directory nothing shows up. I think they are all on my HD somewhere but how do i get them BACK into Imovie? It would help if I knew what the file extension is for imovie projects but even if I find them - how do I get them showing up in 09?
Any help is appreciated!

In my case, my projects are in: "home/movies/imovie projects/", try a search in 'Spotlight' type: 'imovie projects.localized', that will find exactly where your projects are located.

How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
(By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
Questions:
1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.

If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

Upgraded to Firefox4 and all my bookmarks are gone, I have tried all the solutions listed under lost book marks can someone please help me.. I have seen people say they have solved this but never tell how.

As it says above I lost all my bookmarks after upgrading to Firefox 4.
I have tried all the solutions under the Lost Bookmark page and they either do not apply or did not work.
I even found a old backup and imported it and it did not work.
I have seen several people say they have the same problem and have fixed it but never say how.. Please help

I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
* bookmarks.bak
* bookmarks.html
* bookmarks.html.moztmp
* bookmarks-(date).html
* bookmarks-(date).json
Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

Hi Apple community ---
I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone. My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of my playlists, except for what's in my iPod. I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well.
I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic.
Thanks for your help!!!

Connected Ipad Mini To My Mac And All The Picture Are Gone Now. The Mac Is Not The Synced Device. How To Retrieve My Pictures?

How to recover pictures on iPad Mini?

If the photos that were on your iPad mini were synced from another computer, you erased them by syncing with your Mac. They are gone now and cannot be retrieved unless you sync them back using the other computer. If you do that, then you will erase the iPad again and replace the contents on ot with the contents of the iTunes library on the second computer.
You can only sync with one computer at a time. There are other ways to share photos from other comouter's and devices. Ask whoever synced the photos onto your mini to provide you with a flash drive with the photos on them, copy them to your Mac and then sync them using iTunes on your Mac.

After I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, all my music are gone from phone,

So do I have to manually select them all in iTunes to add them to my iPhone?

Sounds like your phone was hacked to work with any network. Doing the update re-locked it to the original carrier. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they have an unlocking policy. Note that if it's AT&T they do not offer unlocking. otherwise find an un-activated sim for the original carrier and you can use it as an iPod.

How do i get a game for my new ipod when all the games are only for iphone or ipad?

When i get in the itunes and go the the app store, it says iphone or ipad apps availble, but no ipod, I don't have a iphone or ipad, just the i pod. What do i do

Games that work in the iPhone will also work in the iPod Touch, unless they require capabilities that the iPod Touch doesn't have, such as GPS, Phone, etc.
