HT201210 have i lost all my stuff ?
i have a problem . . i wanted to update the software on my Iphone 4 and now have a phone which seems like its empty and needs restoring but i dont know if everything that was on the phone has been backed up ?
Then you will have to continue and update the phone in hopes your last back up was successful enough to have any important information you need. As for future reference use this as a lesson learned. If you are storing important information on your phone you must back it up frequently or set up icloud to back up your phone automatically for you when you are charging the phone and it is locked and connected to your charger. Backing up to your computer as well as icloud is also important because backing up to your computer does a complete back up of your phone. Good luck

I was updating my iPhone 3GS, left it overnight and woke up to find that there was an error and my IPhone could not be restored. What can I do to make my phone work again? Have I lost all the data?
If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.

How do I undownload the recent upgrade I did to my iPad? I didn't back it and lost all my stuff.
You can't downgrade the iOS.
As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free. If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup (have you not got an old backup that might be of some use ?) and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.
ibooks can also be re-downloaded for free, and, depending upon which country that you are in, possibly music and tv shows and (in the US some/all) films. -
I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?
Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

My cloud is full, i havent updated in 41 weeks, and my ipod was stolen. have I lost all my music?
My ipod touch 5 was stolen. I have changed all the passwords for any account that I had on it. The problem now is that I have been traveling without my computer for nearly a year. My cloud is full and I haven't backed anything up. Have I lost all my music purchases as well? Does Apple have a record of the songs I bought and will I be able to get them back?
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

But they are all on my ipod - can i not sync back to itunes?
iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music. -
I saved all of my graduate school ppts to idisk- mobileme, on my macbook. I was unable to download Lion with this computer. I have now lost all my ppts. Is there anyway these can be retrieved now?
Sorry.
They've been deleted since the end of iDisk and Mobile Me.
Only last hope is if you had turned on synching to create a "local" iDisk folder on your machine. -

Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?
Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?
I noticed that the contacts were there a couple of days a go and now the whole contacts directory is gone. This is my first iphone having had a Blackberry Storm prior to this. I just signed up for icloud and I'm wondering if it might have been something that I might have done. I'm not familiar with many of the options on the iphone.
Thank youHave you tried to synce this with iCloud or resotre to factory settings? Try to sync it to your Itunes again and lets hope for a good result.

Why have I lost all the books in my iBooks library?
Why have I lost all the books in my IBooks library since it was updated to iBooks 1.5. My library is now blank & I'm not a happy chappie!
Can anybody help me please! I'm disabled & it's not easy for me to sync my iPad with my PC so I'm hoping that I won't need to do that.You can redownload any purchased books without syncing with your PC. To do this, open iBooks on your iPad, click on the Store button at the upper left of the screen. Once the store loads, you'll see a tab labeled Purchased on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Click there and you'll be able to download any books that you purchased from the iBookstore.

I have some songs/interludes on my Garageband app on my Iphone. I was planning on using some for my bands album. Now my Iphone won't turn on and I'm being told to restore the phone. Have I lost all my Garageband songs?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

My ipad just synced and I lost all my paid apps,about $60.00 worth. I just reinstalled my OS Windows 7 a week ago and the iPad has synced before with no problem. Have I lost all my purchases?
If you are a resident of the U.S. and install iTunes 10.3.1 or higher, you can re download your iTunes media without being charged again.

I am in tears! I have just lost all my music in my itunes and they are not located on my pc either as it's a new pc. Help PLEASE!
Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Or to copy it from a different computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support. -
