I accidentally backed up from my last phone and lost all my current information. can i get back my contacts or photos?
I got a new iphone a few months ago, and i just got around to putting music on it. I accidentally chose to back up from my last phone instead of continue as a new iphone and i lost all my information, and got all the stuff from my old phone. Is there anyway i can get the notes, photos, and contacts back? I didnt lose any apps, or ringtones, or anything like that.
I think what you're saying is you're hoping to retrieve information from your current iPhone before it got overridden with information from your last iPhone.
If you synch using iTunes, you can try this: In iTunes, go to Preferences then choose Devices (from the top near the right). You'll see dates and times of backups stored on your computer. If the one you want is there, you can restore your iPhone from that.

I had to reset my iPhone, and when I did I lost all my music and ringtones and all my apps. Well i was able to get my apps and the other music that I bought on iTunes back onto my phone but my ringtones are still missing. I don't want to go buy them again. How do I download them back to my phone? I have spend lots of money on ringtones on my phone. It happened before when I got a new phone and lost all of them. But I really want to know how to download and get them back.
Yes.

I need help, I couldnt get into my iphone because I forgot the password and I couldnt hook my iphone up to the computer with all my music on it. So im wondering how to redownload that music from another computer that had already had someone elses account programed into it. I can almost get my purchased music but it says im not authorized. I DONT KNOW WHAT to do
If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then

You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
Store > Authorise this Computer...
Type in your Apple ID and password and authorise. -

I downoaded IOS5 to my phone and lost all my phone contacts. Is there a way to get my numbers back?
Does she normally sync to the MAC? IF she does, she can restore her phone from a backup, if she has one.
If she doesn't normally sync to the MAC then she can sync back to her PC and then restore to her backup.
If those options don't work then she is sol -
I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)
I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

I accidentally restored my iphone as my ipod and lost all my information. Is there anyway i can get it all back?
I don't think so. You should post your question with an informative title, not just "HELP". You may get better replies. Try this "iPhone Accidentally Restored as iPod - Data Lost"

Something happened to my phone and lost all contacts.I did not know this and backed up my phone.When i tried to restore back up the contacts were still not there.How to access older back up?
Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone. -
My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?
Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?
Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync? -
i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?
Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

Loaded ios 6 onto my i phone and lost all data can it be retrieved
loaded ios6 onto my i phone and lost all data. not too worried about apps but lost contacts, all music downloaded onto i phone and photos, Is there any way it can be retrieved?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc. -

I lost all of my information from my phone....I didn't back up before plugging in
If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.
