Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I updated to IOS 6 and received an error message after completing. Now my phone is in restore mode. Is there a way around restoring my phone completely?
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

I misplaced my iphone. i cant find it. i downloaded find my iphone but i can't add my device (my lost iPhone) how can i find it since it is on silence. is there a way i can add this device from my macbook?
You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located. If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

i have reset my iphone but cant retrieve the id from which i logged in to icloud, is there a way to start my phone without it, ive been trying for a very long time. please help!
Ok, when you said "found" I took that literally. Still, the activation lock cannot be bypassed, Apple cannot do anything to assist with that. You need to go through all of her papers and see if she wrote down the Apple ID and password as there is no other way to make the iPhone usable.

Everything else remained-- pictures, notes, even my open web pages. It is probably worth mentioning that I recently got a new computer (MacBook), and I initially set up my iPhone on an old PC. Are my apps salvageable?
I take it you didn't read the warning prior to updating the phone. It said that you need to backup before upgrading. You have two ways. 1) load apps off your old computer. 2) Download apps one at a time. Your apps are still tide to your account and you will not be charged.

My brother got his iphone 4s stolen a week or two ago, he didnt have the iphone finder installed at the time. The phone company just gave him a new phone progammed with the same number is there any way of tracking his old phone? If this is relevant whenever i call him and hes on the phone the phone connects to someone else answering machine.
IF he set up find my ip[hone on the ihone itself BEFORE it was stolen ( there is no app, it is a setting) AND it is on AND it has jot been restored, then you may be able to track it using icloud/find my iphone.
Otherwise, there is no way to track it. -

Some quick and important questions about icloud that I can't find on the internet
It sounds like you restored the backup of your old phone to your new phone.
Unless you backed up the new phone first or manually copied the pictures off prior to restoring the backup, the pictures are gone. -
I deleted a photo by mistake in trash can. It there any way of restoring the photo
No. There is no trashcan from which to restore deleted data. The only way you can restore that photo is if you've done a previous backup that included that photo. Then you can restore your phone from that backup.

I don't have a cloud icon on my ipad or iphone
There is no iCloud icon because iCloud is a service, not an app. You create an iCloud account by going to Settings>iCloud, signing in with your Apple ID and turning on the data you wish to sync with iCloud.
However, you don't need an iCloud account to redownload your music from iCloud. It downloads from the iTunes store, not from a personal iCloud account. This article explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
