I had to restore my computer and I lost all of my songs. How do I get them back?

I did not realize you had to back up your songs so I never did. I had to restore my computer to its orginal state. Thinking that my songs would be safe. I was wrong. How do I get them back?

You may not.
You buy one and only one download. it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Since you have failed to do this, you could transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You could try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception but they are under no obligation to allow.

Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup

If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

HT204053 I changed my ID account on my IPhone so I could get the ICloud and I lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

I changed my ID account on my ICloud and lost all my contacts. will they come back when I resync?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by changed your ID. Is it a new account, or did you just change your address under the same account.

I had my computer worked on. When I got it back I had to reinstall itunes. When I synced my iphone, I lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone.

Have you synced back up to your iTunes account? This happened to me too, and when I synced back up with iTunes, all of my photos were backed up to my iTunes account and loaded back onto my iPhone.

The iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM card. If they were truly on the SIM, re-import them from the SIM.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I set up an iCloud account, and it erased ALL of my contacts, how do I get them back?

I just now set up an iCloud account, and when I went to my messages, I saw that there were no contacts, just all numners. So I went to my contacts, and it turns out that there are none. How do I get them back? I'm freaking out!

So when setting up the iCloud account and it asked if you wanted to import the contacts on the device, what did you tell it to do?

I had to do a system restore and lost all my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

I did not know that if I did a system restore that I would loose all my bookmarks.

It is possible that the system restore restored an older copy of the profiles.ini file that doesn't have your current Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
You can check if there are more profile folders and if that is the case then you can either recover data from that profile or use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the "Choose Folder" button and browse to that lost profile folder to re-register this lost profile. Firefox will recognize that profile and you should have all data back.

What's going on?
I'm missing a ton of apps!
Pleae help me!
Gaby

I just wanted to add this information to my post:
I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
I want my apps back.
Thanks,
Gaby
