i have accidently synced my new 4s with my brothers itunes and want to know how i can get all my contacts back off my itunes

You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.

Hello...i have lost my all my data because i restored my phone, how can i get all contacts and photos back?

Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

HT1766 Please help! I updated myiPhone 4S today and it deleted all my contacts and text messages. I backed it up before the update and got all my pics out, but the phone did a new backup with blank version. How do I get my contacts and messages back?

Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected.

How do I get my contacts and messages back on a new phone.

I had to get a new a phone due to water damage. When I brought it home and synced, I have no contacts or messages. How do I get them back?

You typically tell iTunes to sync your contacts to whatever address book you use on your PC or Mac. IF you were syncing your contacts to begin with, they should all still be on your computer.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

Hi, today I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I backed up and synced my data on itunes and icloud. My new iphone however reverted to my 2011 phone settings. how do i get yesterday's settings back and get my contacts and photos from icloud onto new phon

Just to give you a bit more detail. I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5 today. Last night I backed up and synced all my messages, photos and contacts on itunes and icloud. When I connected the new iphone 5 to itunes today, it somehow reverted back to my old phone settings from 2011 :S So now, I have apps, particularly games, that are incomplete. My contacts have numbers that are out of date and I have none of the photos that were taken in the past year. My 2012 messages are gone and old messages from 2011 are there. Now, all my phone data had been regularly stored and synced with itunes and icloud. So why did it revert back to 2011 phone settings and how can I get it to change to the settings that existed last night? Also all my information on icloud, how do I get that onto my new iphone? If I go on www.icloud.com and sign in, all my photos, contacts, mail and messages are there, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new iphone 5. Any help on all of these issues would be appreciated, thanks.

In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

HT4528 I have accidentally restored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contacts, photos, and apps. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this to get my contacts and photos back?

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.

After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone. Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

Thanks for replying. I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there. I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ... No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone. After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
appreciate your experience and help.

HT1766 how do i get my apps and photos back to my i pod touch after I have updated my device?

how do i transfer my apps and music from my itunes account back to my i pod touch?

- You can resync apps and synced photos to the iPod.
- You can redownload app and other other iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod restore the iPod from your iPod backup.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
Note: That if you update your iPod on a computer and the synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not on the computer they will be erased from the iPod and will not be on the computer either.

I have recently bought a new netbook. all my itunes songs are stored on an external drive, however when i downloaded itunes again for the new netbook, they no longer showed in itunes. how can i get my song and podcast library over to the new netbook?

can anyone help with this please? i feel its wrong to have to pay Apple £25 for something that should be more obvious and easier to do.

Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
** Edit
You can set the location of your music here too.
