HT4865 I lost everything my pictures, messages, ect. When I turned off my location settings. Can I get any of those back?

My phone deleted everything when I turned off location services. How do I get it back? Also now there is a new device in my storage. How do I find out what that is?

Check here and see if you got an automatic backup when you pluuged into iTunes.   (Fingers Crossed) 
Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If the recent backup is there, simply restore your phone from that backup.  It sounds to me that instead of syncing the phone just by connecting it to the computer, you may have restored the phone to your ancient backup.  No problem if you have the newer backup, but a huge problem if you don't have the recent backup.
If, in fact, you did restore the phone instead of getting a backup thru the (automatic) sync process, I'd strongly suggest getting the difference between the two straight in your mind.
My other suggestion would be to understand that your iPhone is "managed" thru iTunes.  You need to connect the two whenever possible instead of using the charger.

  • My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. No backup.  Does Itunes backup to a server?  Can I get my library back?  If so how?

    My hard cdrive crashed and I lost everything.  No Music library back up.   Does Itunes have my music on their Server?  If so how can I get it back?

    You can re-download everything you already bought, if you remember what it was, and you won't have to pay again. This assumes the music you purchased is still available for download.
    Other than iCloud backup, which does not store your non-iTunes purchased music anyway, that is all there is.
    From iCloud: Backup and restore overview:
    The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:

  • ITunes logo appears with a picture of USB cord when I turn on the power. Can't get past that point.

    Help

    That's because you have to connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. You need to activate the iPad within iTunes on a computer - if the iPad does not have iOS 5 on it. iTunes will tell you what to do once you connect the iPad and start iTunes.

    For error -3259
    This alert is often the result of iTunes being blocked by firewalls on the computer.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Try turning off your Firewall to see if the issue is resolved (this includes the built-in Firewall or a third-party Firewall such as Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Symantec, etc.). See iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing With Windows Internet Connection Firewall for steps if using Windows. See KB iTunes: Music Sharing does not work if Firewall is on for steps if using Mac OS X.
    If there's no firewall or security software interference, try to remove proxy settings.

  • HT201210 Is there a way to get my contact list, music, pictures, messages, ect. back after FORCED restore?

    Is there a way to get my contact list, music, pictures, messages, ect. back after a FORCED Restore?  After upgrading to the ios 6.0 my phone went into what I later learned was "Recovery Mode" I didn't have option to save info before restoring phone.

    Did you not back it up before installing a major firmware upgrade?
    Did you back it up EVER?
    You can't get back what you didn't back up.

    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.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, tehn you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Everything else is gone, if you have failed to backup or sync it to icloud or some other cloud service.

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a message saying I need to restart my computer

    When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a simple message that says I need to restart my computer.  any suggestions?

    The message to restart your computer, in multiple languages, is a kernel panic. This is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory being the leading cause.
    You might want to run the Apple hardware test, which is on the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini. FInd the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. You can also download Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/ if you want to really test the memory. Set it up and let it run over night.
    See this kernel panic FAQs for other ideas: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.
