HT204150 My contacts are all gone, how do I get them back?

Somehow all my contacts are totally gone! Am I able to get them back?

If you didn't syncing the with iCloud prior to losing them, they would not be on icloud.com. (You can double-check by going to icloud.com from your computer browser, signing into your account, then clicking Contacts.)
Assuming they aren't on icloud.com, your only option would be to try restoring them from your backup. If you are backing up to your computer using iTunes, you can resotore your backup by connect your phone to your comptuer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from backup.

My toolbars are all gone; how do I get them back?

I hit something accidentally a month ago and all the toolbars disappeared. I need to get them back or I'll have to stay with Chrome, which I do not like.

Check that you aren't running Firefox in full screen mode (hit F121 to toggle).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??

All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.

There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
Windoze or Mac?
Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer?

Firefox recently updated itself, and all bookmarks are now gone. how do I get them back.

no content needed. As I stated previously, all bookmarks are gone after firefox did an auto update.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox updated and my new page tiles are now gone how do I get them back?

I update Firefox, and in the process Norton became my automatic search engine and new page. I have tried everything but have not be able to revert back to the new page tiles. Can you help me resolve this problem? I have attached a photo of what my new page looks like.

This is likely because norton automatically changed your new tab page in an update to its software. To change this, do the following:
1. Open a new tab, and go to about:config
2. In the search box, type in "browser.newtab.url"
3. Double-click on the entry that appears, and in the text box that appears enter "about:newtab", and then click okay.

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
Sorry...

My contacts are gone, how do I get them back?

my contacts were in my phone and 5 minutes later i went to send a message and went into my contacts and I didnt have any at all? how do i get them back?

If you were syncing them with iCloud (and not another service like Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account), and they are no longer on icloud.com, you would have to restore them from a backup source to get them back. If your only backup is your iCloud backup, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad if a movie listing does not show then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
Or launch the Video App and look for them there
if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
Hope this helps
