I got my ipod restored, how do I get my stuff back? I dont know if i backed it up? how to get my contacts/photos back?

My ipod touch 4 has been freezing/shutting down alot so i press the top and middle button to restart it. Its been a while since i plugged my ipod to itunes so i just did and there was a problem syncing/connecting to itunes? I had to restore it, and when i did everything is gone! All my contacts,& photos. I got my music back by syncing it. but i dont think i backed up my contacts/photos??? how can i get these stuff back? and i use pinger/textfree for texting so is there a way i can get contacts back with that?

- If you backed up  then restore from backup. On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you have a backup dated before you had the problem. On the restored iPod go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and see if you have aback dated before the problem.
- You may be able to get back some of your photos if you do not have a backup:
Using Photo Stream
For more information about using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer, see Photo Stream FAQ.
After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
- For contacts if you do not have a backup is to sync them to the program (Google contacts) that you used before. If you do not have one then you can't get them back.

  • How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    I went to the link. I selected iPHONE.  There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page.  I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7.  Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'.  And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry.  No iOS entries on an iphone page.  Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

  • I got my ipod stolen how do i make it so no one is able to use it

    i got my ipod stolen and i needa make it so it cant be used

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Just got my iPod Shuffle -  How can I get the 240 free songs, as promised?

    I just got my iPod Shuffle and can't figure out for the life of me how I can download the free 240 songs from iTunes.
    "The first step to wearing 240 songs on your iPod shuffle is downloading iTunes — free. "

    Downloading the iTunes program is free, not the songs.

  • How to get the contact photos from the address book on the ipod ??

    Hello !
    I figured out that it was available to sync the address book (on Mac OS)with the contact photos and find them on your ipod nano chromatic... But I have Windows and I can't make it work with Outlook. I can sync it with itunes and have the contact names and few infos but not the pictures, there is just a grey silhouette instead of the contact photo. Is there anybody that know how to get the contact picture on the ipod (with Windows OS) ?
    Thanks a lot in advance !
    Hyrekia

    Hooray !! I have found how to do it !! There is a new option now on itunes when you sync your ipod with outlook. You just have to check the box entitled "add the contact pictures". I'm not sure it was there before, but I did an update today !!
    I'm really glad !!

  • My new ipod touch - how actually it syncs contacts and calend events?

    hello,
    I have finally my ipod touch. I really like it, not perfect of course but then if it would be , would be boring isnt it ?
    It syncs well with my outlook contacts but i dont know..
    does it overwrite my outlook with info on my touch? or it overwrite my touch with info on outlook ? or it completes both with new info i add?
    like if i cancel a contact on my touch will it be cancelled next time i sync in my outlook? or the cancelled contact would go back to my touch from outlook?
    I think you understand .... what i dont understand .. how it works..
    Also , is there any way that my pictures wouldnt get transformed to super small size.... as quality gets worst...lot worst
    Another question about the sound quality....which is just ok .....
    would other earphones then the apple ones improve the sound?
    Thank you so very much for your answers
    regards
    Anteros

  • I got my ipod stolen how to recove it

    How to find a stolen divise? my ipod was stolen from my child's chool.

    As per Apple's webpage:
    "Contact your local law enforcement agency to report your lost or stolen iOS device. Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID."

  • I have an iTouch, and I just got an iPod classic -  how do I copy podcasts from the iTouch onto the iPod classic?

    I have been able to move over music, by dragging and dropping the "music" icon into the area on iTunes on the left that shows the iPod classic, but I can't move over podcasts - how do I do this?  Thanks!

    Like LexSchellings said, simply plug it in, configure to sync however you like, and then actually sync away.  Basically, you can do the same thing you did with your first iPod. 
    There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one iTunes library, computer, or account.
