HT4236 contacts, photos lost when new iphone syncing with Macpro

Synced my new iphone with itunes, lost all my contacts and photos, etc. iphone was restored to include all my stuff from my previous iphone, how do i fix this to get back all my new contacts and photos, etc

Ask whoever transferred them to begin with. We have no idea what kind of phone you had or where those contacts came from.
Your mistake was in trusting some dweeb at a phone shop to transfer your contacts without understanding what would happen to then if you restored, then, of course, in restoring the phone without a backup of the information that was in it.
Restoring the backup of your old iPhone from a few years ago completely overwrote the data that was in the phone.

  • Default photo sort order on IPhone syncing with iPhoto

    Is there any way to get the Photos app on my IPhone 4 with iOS 6 to stop displaying my photos and events with the OLDEŚT pics and events at the top - displayed first?. 
    This means I can only get to my most recent events after extensive screen scrolling through my library of 4700 photos. 
    I have iPhoto on my iMac successfully configured to show most recent events first (at the top) but when I perform an ITunes photo sync this sort order reverses !
    Apple programmers, are you listening ?

    1. No Apple programmers. Or any other Apple people are not listening. This is, as explained in the TOU you agreed to, strictly a user to user support forum. No Apple involvement
    2  you want answers about iPhoto for UOS but are posting in the iPhoto for Mac forum. Posting in the correct forum will greatly enhance your possibility of getting a correct answer

  • New iphone, synced with Outlook, but messages remain 'unread'.

    I just moved to a new iphone 3gs and even though I didn't' change anything on my computer my iphone email remains marked 'unread' with the little blue dot and notification numbers.
    I see people have this problem a lot, but previously when I opened outlook and just downloaded email the blue dots would disappear on the iphone. I could almost see it happen live if I updated the iphone email. I didn't even have to read the email on my computer, it just automatically recognized it was downloaded by outlook and therefore removed the blue dot and notification.
    I should note that in my outlook settings I have never had it set to remove email from server right away (I have always left my email on the server for a week to get email on the road and as a backup for HD failure).
    So for whatever reason when I set up the new iphone email (had to do it manually) this time it does not know I've downloaded the email to Outlook and does not automatically take the blue dot away. I'm not sure how it did it before but I would like to have it working again.
    Any thoughts?

    My iPhone email works with my Gmail account.
    Since going to OS 3.0, I've found that the unread indicator on the mail icon is wrong if I delete new messages without reading them first.
    I now seem to be stuck with 1 inbox mail unread despite all my inbox mails being read (and there's only 7 of them, not easy to miss).

  • All my contacts was lost when charging iphone.

    How to recover if no back up in icloud.

    This is not normal behavior of an iPhone.
    Please take a look at the following article on how to back up your device and restore from a back up.

    Also, consider setting up an iCloud account and enable contacts so iCloud keeps a copy of your contacts.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • I lost my latest photos when I mirrored my new iPhone 5 with my previous iPhone 4. How can I check if they're in the Cloud?

    I lost my latest photos when I mirrored my new iPhone 5 with my previous iPhone 4, and I don't know how to access the Cloud to check if they're still there. Can someone help me how to access the Cloud to check my content?
    Thanks, gd

    If you backed up your iPhone 5 before you did this, photo in the camera roll would be included in the backup.  You would have to restore the entire backup to recover them.  Also, you can see what's in the backup ahead of time.  You can only find out what photos are there by restoring the backup.

  • My computer crashed and I have to buy a new one.  What happens to my Contacts, Photos, etc when i use the new computer?  I do not have an iTunes backup.

    Do you have the iCloud set up?  If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer.  You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer.  You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life.  It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future.  I've used it many times.

  • I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite with my calendar? Please help!

    Hi All,
    I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite any contacts with my calendar?
    is there something I have not done properly to do this or do I need to update calendar software or is this an App thing?
    Please help!

    Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups.  If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it.  Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
    If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from.  When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

  • How do I copy my Blackberry contacts lists to my new iPhone 4s?

    I'm about to acquire a iPhone 4s and would appreciate guidance on copying my Blackberry Bold 9700 contacts lists to my new iPhone. Is there a quicker way than copying the contacts to the sim card on the BB and importing them to the iPhone?

    Transfer them to your computer and import them to Address Book (Mac), Outlook, or Windows Address Book, then sync them to the iPhone.

  • Let iPhone sync with new laptop instead of old computer

    I have a new laptop and copied my entire iTunes from the old computer to my new laptop, so I have exactly the same iTunes on my new laptop. My iPhone syncs with the old computer, but because I have a new laptop I want to sync it with the iTunes in my new laptop. but when I connect my iPhone to the laptop, it just doesn't show my iPhone anywhere or reacts on it at all. It's just like nothing happens when I connect it to the laptop. How can I make it sync with the new laptop?

    You can create a fresh backup on your computer: Disable auto-sync when an ipod/iPhone is connected under preferences>devices in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows). Connect your phone, right-click the phone in the left device pane and select "Backup". Before doing so, make sure your computer is authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer.

    Hello Zuhaib,
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this.  I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

  • IMPORTING OUTLOOK CONTACTS INTO ICAL, ENTOURAGE, ETC TO SYNC WITH NEW 3G

    How can I do this? What type of file extension do I need to export from windows outlook to be able to get the contacts info into my new Iphone 3G. Thanks for your assistance.

    iTunes on the PC can load contacts directly into iPhone.
    Or you can export vcards, copy to Mac, load into "Address Book", then sync into iPhone with Mac iTunes. Outlook only has an option to export vcards 1-at-a-time. There are several 3rd party programs for the PC that can export all-at-once.
