Since I updated my iphone I lost all my data, contacts emails etc.
So just a while ago, itunes recommended to update my iphone.
While living in this era everything seems to be in need of updates, apparantly nobody can make a normal functional wokring program at once anymore.
Anyway of course i accepted and voila, it was downloading and so on.
Then when it was all ready it introduced itselve as if i just had bought a new iphone :S
which is akward while i have this one since2,5 years.
I found out that it just completly resetted everything, and so i don't have any past data on my phone...
o o, fortunalty Apple provides with the back up oppertunity, but unfortunatly for me i get errors and this part doenst work.
Costing me a lot of time and money and i am quit furious about this problem...
As a freelancer this is one of the things which is not nice to overcome, to say it in a polite way.
does anybody have any experience whith these circumstances?
Yours,
EdwardSo true, so i tried to restore and it gave me quit a lot of errors at first...
which after an hour of doings makes you quit frightfull that you lost everything.
Fortunatly after a couple of times (between 3 and 5) it eventually worked...
although i lost all my whatsapp contents, which is still really a pitty, but the rest is working..
guesse thats better then to loose everything, but at first i was really shocked aswell as after the updating it looks like apple shows you new stuf in a way that you just bought a new phone which could be a bit more clear...
anyway its working and i can continue with my work so thats good. -
If anybody can help me????
If the content was important, why was it not backed up prior to the update?
If the content was not backed up, there is no way to recover it. -
i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?
Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes. Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

When I updated my iPhone, I lost some of the songs I've bought - both on my phone and in iTunes on my Macbook. How do I get them back?
Okay... but then there's nothing there? It just says "There are no purchased movies to be downloaded" (roughly translated from Danish)...

IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!
iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!
Hi Bob,
I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
**********DON'T DO IT***********
Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
Good luck!!!!
Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
Plug iPhone into Computer
Launch iTunes
After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
Let the iPhone restore completely

My husband bought an iPad 2. I have a Mac. ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on. When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name. Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software. He is frustrated using the iPad because he never knows whether to use his user name or my user name.
Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

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.

My iphone just lost all of my contacts. How did this happen and how can i get them back??
If they're gone from icloud.com, then they aren't in iCloud. You could try waiting a while to see if this was caused by a server glitch and they will reappear. You could also try contacting Apple support to see if there is anything they can do at their end: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
Otherwise, you may be able to restore them by restoring your last iCloud backup. Doing this is a bit tricky, as you have to interrupt the restore process as soon as your phone restarts while restoring, either by putting it in airplane mode or pulling the internet connection to your router. If you don't, iCloud will overwrite and erase any restored calendars. Then you can disable iCloud calendar syncing and save the calendars to your phone, re-enable your wifi connection and let the restore process proceed, delete any existing calendars from icloud, and turn on icloud syncing on your phone again to upload the recover calendars to iCloud. This process is explained in this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841. While this was written for contacts, just replace calendars for contacts and for the same instructions.
