I syned my iPhone and lost most if my messages. Please help
I tried to restore of but it won't work. Even lost my photos

Syncing to iTunes doesn't make delete your message or photos. 
where you syncing to a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
Are you sure you weren't restoring instead of syncing.
If you have a backup of your phone that included those message or photos then use that backup.

    Take it to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs see what your options are for repair/replacement.  An out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US for the iPhone 4.

  • Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

    Hello all,
    I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is.  Here is the long detailed explanation.
    I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing)  I noticed that under mail/contacts etc.  that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it.  I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names.  I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly.  Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly.  I did not do this myself.  Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts)  I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either.  I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there.  I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up.  After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion.  This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal.  Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again.  I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either.  Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!

    You might have luck in the iPhone community. I’ll ask the hosts to move your post there.

  • My iPad will no longer sync with my mac.  My iPhone and iPod are connecting fine.  Please help

    The connection is working because the ipad will still charge but it will not sync.

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • Updated iTunes and lost my files again! Please help!?!

    I just updated iTunes and once again lost my library. Using Windows7 64 bit OS. Now I found the file and imported as before and have some but not all of my files. Is there any way to restore my playlists?? I have spent hours creating these for my various devices and each time software is updated I have to do it all over again. It duplicates the names of the playlists but no files are within the lists themselves. Also I don't have any songs that I have paid for in the store. These tally into the hundreds as well into the hundreds of dollars. I kinda would like to have these back as well. Any help here??? Also must I rip all my CDs every time, this process is getting very, very, very old!

    So you failed to maintain a backup ( basic) and you lost your music. And then after this happened once, you still have failed to maintain a backup?
    Let's review your logic... If iTunes FAILS, doesn't work properly and it has BUGS the size of 18 wheels trucks THEN it's the users fault???
    OK. He should have made a DVD back up in case of a disaster like this, I'll give you that. BUT the problems are Apple's and iTunes software engineering team responsibility. They're the ones providing defective, buggy software.
    The reason 90% of users won't make a backup is just because they TRUST Apple to correct the problem if it already happened before or they don't have the time to do it. Or maybe they're just plain lazy. LOL

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

  • Turned on itunes match and lost most of my music...

    i turned on itunes match on my iphone and lost all music that wasn't purchased.  Any idea where i can find it or is it gone????

    If the music was not present if your iTunes library or backed up somewhere else is it gone. An iPod or iOS device is not a storage or backup device. It is your responsibility to maintain backups of your music and other personal data. You'll need to rip the music from the original CDs again to get the content back into your iTunes library.

  • I recently updated my iphone and lost all my media and contacts as my computer did not save them how do i get them back

    i recently updated my iphone and lost all my media as my computer did not have enough memory to restore and an error occured. How do i get them back.

    Media and contacts are NOT part of the iPhone backup. Media should already be in your iTunes library and contacts should be in whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to. Just re-sync them to the phone.

  • I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

    I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

    If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!
    Best Regards

  • I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

    I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

    It does make sense.  The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
    The way it should work is as follows:
    Old computer content ---> New computer
    New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
    But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
    Old computer content ---> iPhone
    ... and ...
    New computer content <---> iPhone
    So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

  • I just accepted an upgrade on my iphoto and lost most of my photos.  How can I get them back?

    I just accepted an upgrade for iphoto while I was using it and lost most of my photos?  Is there a way to get them back?

    Time machine.  Went back to c=when it worked last and now I can't update old version as it has error saying I have updated version.  THE UPDATED VERSION DOESN'T HAVE MY O;D STUFF.  I HAD THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS. TAGGED AND ORGANIZED THAT TOOK A LONG TIME TO DO.  THIS UPGRADE IS VERYY DISPOINTING FOR AN APPLE PRODUCT.  THIS REMINDS ME OF WINDOWS STUFF I LEFT.
