HT1414 I wanted to update my operating thing and have now lost everything off my iphone!!! Help!!!!!
I have never done this before and understood that I needed to update my operating system - being told I needed to via apps. I plugged my iphone in and now it is saying it needs to be restored to factory settings. Have I lost all my photos and videos!!
Apple store can't do anything about it.
with itune open go to edit - preference - devices - and see if there is any backups.
If not, then sorry you lost everything.

Updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and have now lost all my contacts, messages, photo's etc? HELP!!
Hi guys,
I have just updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5 and have lost everything!
I did a back up prior to the install and have the latest version of iTunes. I completed the install and went to retrieve the back up via a restore, I selected the latest restore, it thinks about it then comes up with the following error message: "File is corrupt or not compatible with this phone"
I was also perviously using Mobile Me for instances like this, though my accont has recently expired and I can no longer access it, all my data was stored on there. Annoying!
Can anyone help? Be a huge help...If you made a backup in iTunes before upgrading you can access the data with iPhone / iPod Touch Backup Extractor.
Can be downloaded from here: http://supercrazyawesome.com/
This helped me getting my Notes back after the upgrade to iOS 5. -
So I just recently got a new computer. The only problem is that my iphone has been connected to my sisters computer for a year and i want my phone to be on my computer. I tried to back my iphone up to my computer and it deleted everything i had on my phone. I must not have done it right. Can someone explain how i can do it without it deleting everything on my phone?
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any pictures being synced from the old computer to the new computer.
If syncing contacts and calendars to the computer, copy them as well.
On the new computer, simply sync. iTunes may wipe the device but as everything is now on the new computer it is a no e issue. Simply setup syncing as desired.
Honestly though, I've moved my ENTIRE iTunes folder between my laptop and desktop multiple times and never had an issue syncing. -
I created a gapless album by joining the tracks on a disc in a multiple disc audiobook. I want my classic Ipod to turn off after it finishes an album but it continues on to the next disc (album) in the audiobook automatically. When it finishes the multiple discs contained in the compilation of one album it continues to the next audiobook. This is great when listening to the audiobook in a car while driving, but not when I use the Ipod to put me to sleep at night. Why does it do this?
Did you put the library on the external drive, or just the media folder. See this migrate iTunes library post for the way this ought to be done and recovery tips for when it is no longer possible.

Help! Just updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 and have now lost 90% of my music!
I updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 by linking up to my itunes on my Windows pc. It appears that all music I'd uploaded to itunes from CD's over the years has gone, all purchased items are still there though.
I've lost about 10,000 tracks - is there any way I can retrieve these? I've tried to restore from a previous backup but all the files have disappeared from previous itunes libraries too!
HELP!The tracks are showing in iTunes on my pc but won't play - it says it can't locate the file. When I check in my system iTunes folder, none of the cd import files are there.
Have tried syncing to iPad again but only purchased tracks will sync. I get an error message which says 100+ songs could not sync as file cannot be found?
Any ideas? I'm stumped! -
details as above
"Content filter" is the Android Market's method for restricting certain applications that may provide access to "mature" content. You can disable content filtering in the settings of the Market app on your phone.

Restore the iPhone using the last backup you made of it.

I have updated my ipad to IOS 8 and have now lost the X to close my safari tabs. How I am supposed to close the tabs now?
If you have more than one tab open, you should still see the "x". When you are down to the last tab, you will need to tap the View Open Tabs icon (upper right, looks like two over lapping squares). You also access Private Browsing from there.

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2
Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 on my Macbook6,1 from Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Will this affect the performance of my computer in a negative way, and if the benefits outweigh it? Thanks.
While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck! -
I want to update my IWorks which I have downloaded with another Apple ID in this same computer. What I have to do?
Update it from the original Apple ID or delete and redownload the applications when signed into another one; the second option may require repurchasing them.

I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!
An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support -
Hello, I have had to restore my iphone 4 to its factory setting as I had missed a number of updates and my computer was not recognising the device. I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks.
NilouI have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. -
