I recently updated my iPhone with the iOS6 update & all of my CONTACTS have been deleted? What gives?

Restore from your backup. You do have a backup from prior to when you performed the update, right?

I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

I'm trying to update my iPhone with the new update. Using Macbook Pro, Lion software. It keeps saying "connection error timed out". What's my problem?

Trying to get the update. Appreciate assistance!

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.

How do I get my data reloaded after updating my iphone with the new IOS 6.)/

I downloaded the IOS 6.O updated for my iphone. It backed up my data, but I can not get it to restore it. My music and apps were removed. When I try to sync it in itunes an error comes up that this iphone is not allowed to sync. What do I need to do?

Music and apps are not part of the backup that itunes performs at all.
You should be transferring all purchases to your computer regularly. Did you fail to do this?
If you failed to put your music on your computer, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
What exactly does the error message say?

I cannot update any apps with the new ios6 Helppppp!

Is any one else having the same issue of not being able to update any apps the screen stays blank when I click on my App Store

I have read that this can fix that issue. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have two iphones and the two got sync'd contacts were deleted from 1 phone and now were deleted from other via wireless on icloud the last back up was 2 months ago how do i retrieve and reinstall that backup? or can I do this from an old icloud back up

Hi this is my first time using this service and I am having a huge problem with two of my iphones. I have two phones that were sync'd accidently on itunes and both were sync'd to icloud too apparently. The one phone then deleted some of the contacts - now both phones have lost those contacts. What would be the steps to get the phone contacts (not from the computer) back on one of the iphones. it does show the phone was backed up over two months ago - can I restore to that back up and how? Any help would be very appreciated <")))><

Please read before going through with this procedure.
If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

I'm trying to update my iphone4 with the new iOS6 and in the middle of udating it gave my an error 35, and I would like to figure this out so I can download the apps i need?

What version do you currently have?
If you have iOS 5.0 or later, do not update through iTunes if possible; update over Wi-Fi if you have it. Just go to Settings > General > Software Update.

I just updated my iphone with iOS 5 and all my photos in my Camera Roll are gone. What gives...

I just update my iphone with the new iOS 5 and all my photos in my Camera Roll have disappeared. I did use iTunes for the upgrade. Are the photos in another place?

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

You don't need an app. You need couple's counseling. I believe what you want to do may also be illegal in many jurisdictions.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
