I backed up my iPhone with a different iPod by accident and it deleted everything and replaced it. Any way I can "undo" the back up so the iPhone is back to normal?

I did something incredibly stupid. I plugged my iPhone into my computer, and when iTunes asked if I wanted to back it up, I said yes. It asked if I would like to back it up as a new iPhone or from an older backup the computer had saved. This is an old iPhone (4S) so I clicked on an older backup. I assumed it would just add on to the current iPhone's contacts and photos but it replaced all of them with old contacts and photos.
I have completely lost all contacts and photos and videos and they have been replaced with contacts from a different phone owned by someone in my household. Is there any way at all to undo this backup and get my old phone back?

Just restore you phone with the correct backup if you have it

Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

Hi Rebekah...
This problem seemed to have worked itself out... Somewhere amongst these solutions...
1. Reinstall iTunes
2. Restart computer
3. Restart iDevice
It didn't at first, and I thought to myself... "Oh great, another problem which Apple doesn't acknowledge as existing", but don't worry. Give it a couple of restarts, and if all else fails... Create a new Windows Logon and try from there.
It just happens I was in the middle of reformatting my PC and resinstalling Windows 7, so it wasn't so much an issue when I wiped as it worked when I tried it on a fresh system.
Hope something helps...

If the photos were from Camera Roll, then they are saved on your latest iPhone backup. You could restore the backup from iTunes (or iCloud).

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

You will need to restore your iPod from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't sync then you will need to try recovery mode.

iOS 7.1 hosts a bunch of security fixes which you do need to keep your phone safe, and as has been said you cant go back anyway.

HT1766 How do you sync an iphone with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone? It is the iPhone 4.

How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC?

Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive". Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

Lost entire music library and on my itunes. Is there any way I can get it back?

Our computer stopped working, so I downloaded th new version of itunes onto my laptop. When I plugged in my ipod, my entire library was there, however when I tried to sync it, I must have pressed some weird button because all of my music is now gone on both itunes and my ipod. Is there any way I can get it back? Please help, I've been collecting this music for years, and it was there one minute and gone the next. Pretty much all of it was downloaded from Cd's and stuff, i can't really afford the itunes store as I'm only a student. Thanks.

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

IS there any way I can view Adobe Flash sites on my iphone?

Is there any way I can view Adobe Flash enabled sites using my iPhone?

Search the App Store. There are some browsers that process Flash at their servers, then sent it to the iPhone. They are generally slow and unreliable, though.

Once the Device is being Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Restore from the most recent Backup...

I HAVE A IPHONE 4 AND I DELETED VIDEO . IS THERE ANY WAY OF GETTING IT BACK

HOW TO RECOVER DELETED VIDEO ON THE IPHONE 4.

Please turn off your caps lock.
All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read. Many will not read such posts.
If the video was on your iphone at last sync, then you may be able to restore from backup. Otherwise, it is gone.

ITunes restored my iPod and wiped everything. Is there any way I can get it back?

I just synced my iPod with a brand new computer. The sync wasn't fully complete and I got a message from iTunes saying that my Ipod was in distress, and that I couldn't use it or Itunes unless I restored it back to factory settings. After trying unsucsessfully to get this message off both my computer and iPod screen, I restored my iPod thinking that my iPod had been backed up earlier in the sync. It hadn't. All my pictures, videos, music, and apps, that I don't have saved anywhere else are gone. Is there anything I can do??

if you have itunes on your PC/MAC sync the replacement iPhone using the last backup from the defective device

I updated my verizon iphone 4 to 2.7 and now my phone will randomly shut off and is very "buggy". Is there any way I can downgrade to 2.6?

Exactly as the title states. The 2.7 update is HORRIBLE and made my phone very buggy. I beleive I had the 2.0 or 2.1 software before this update and I was fine with that. Anyway to go back to the old software? If I restore to an earlier date then i'll lose all the new numbers ive added to my contacts since then

I upgraged my iphone and it deleted everything and i dont have a backup of my phone in iTunes how do i retrieve it

i upgraded to ios 7 and my phone just deleted everything on it how do i get everything back ...no i do not have a backup file in itunes

Since iOS7 is not officially out, you would have to be a developer to download the beta version. If you are a developer, go tho the developer forum, this is the only place where you can get help.
Apple Developer Forums
We are all normal users here and can't help until iOS7 is released in Fall and we all know more about it.
