HT4528 i lost all my info on iphone after downloading 5.0.
after downloading 5.0 i lost all my info-apps,phone numbers-e-mails. everything. verizon told me today that i needed to upgrade but never told you may loose your info if you are not careful with???
All of your info should be on your computer.
You should never update any computer/device without making sure that everything is backed up to an external source.
As the iphone is designed to be synced to your comptuer regularly, your info should be there, unless you have failed to sync everything.

HT4859 lost my contacts' info on iphone after i signing onto icloud
Hi, I lost all of my contacts' info after signing onto icloud and backing up. Now, contact list on my iphone is blank. How can I get the info back onto my iphone without resetting? Thanks
If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

Please help!! I lost all my contacts on iphone after I sync'd
hey guys,
This afternoon I sync'd my phone to move some new downloaded songs, I pulled my phone off the docking station and I lost all my contacts.
please tell me they are somewhere in itunes. I have no idea how to move them back.
anyone have any ideas.Hello miwung,
roaminggnome is correct in that you should be syncing your contacts with whatever contact management software you are using on your computer.
You can sync contacts with Windows Contacts, which comes pre-installed with Vista.
To sync both contacts and calendars you'll need either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. All of these programs need to be opened and setup (at least create one contact) prior to syncing per:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1347
If the contact information is in one of those programs, the content should be synced back to the iPhone the next time you sync.
If you weren't syncing to one of those programs. It is possible that the contacts may be in your iTunes backup.
If you haven't tried another sync since you noticed the issue, leave the iPhone disconnected from the PC for now.
Open iTunes.
Open Preferences from the Edit Menu.
Click on the Devices tab.
Check the list of backups. If there is one there that corresponds to the time when you last synced with your contacts on the iPhone, and the sync was not interrupted in progress, it may contain the contacts.
If you tried reconnecting and re-syncing after you noticed the contacts issue, the backup may not contain any recoverable data.
While you're in the Preferences, put a check in the "Disable Automatic syncing for iPods and iPhones."
Connect the iPhone.
Right-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Restore from Backup."
If the contacts are restored, make sure you sync them to a contact management program from now on -- and you may want to check with that program's website on how to backup the data in the program as well.
Good Luck,

Has anyone else lost all information listed on "Notes" after downloading Mavericks!!?
Much trouble since downloading Mavericks. Some programs not running at all. All my Notes have disappeared. Any help with retrieving them, anyone?
I was running Mountain Lion...I have cameras in my home, and the App iVMS-4200 won't let me access my cameras anymore and unfortunately, iVMS does not have anything compatible with Mavericks at this time. I believe the Notes are gone since I did not have them backed up. Lesson learned: do not download anything from Apple until you back everything up.

HT4528 I lost all my contacts and info on my IPHONE is there any way i get them back
I lost all the info on my IPHONE can i get them back.
If you had the information backed up, as is recommended, it's fairly easy to get them back on your phone. If you back up to icloud just go to Settings>General>Reset and Reset all settings. Restore from a previous iCloud backup.
If you used iTunes, connect the phone to the computer and restore. When it prompts you to set up as new or restore from backup, choose to restore from backup, choose your backup, and you should be good to go.
If it was backed up in neither of those places, it's probably gone. But you can try iTunes sync, and possibly contact your carrier. I know my carrier was able to get most of my contacts back from a database that they use. But I don't if all carriers use those or not.
Good luck! -
I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks
It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine. -
Lost all contact info. All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing. When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file". This is very frustrating
I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone
They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events -

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

You should be able to reconnect to iTunes and then you should see an option to restore to your ipad from your last back up in iTunes.
