I have lost everything on my phone!

Please can someone help me? I updated and synced my phone this evening on i tunes, but something has gone horribly wrong. Not only have I lost everything on my phone, but i tunes will not let me restore it to factory settings. I have no phone, no telephone number I just don't know what to do and apple do not seem to have any method to let me contact them. Can anyone help me please?

Error 23, 28, 29, 40, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.

Not easily, the recovery mode erases the device, but you can see if any of these data recovery tools may work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689

HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

I used to have a large music library on I Tunes but I somehow overwrote it with the few purchased items that were on my I-pod so I have lost everything apart from these few. Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it?

Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it? Any ideas? I've tried the Apple Support but they just showed me how to retrieve previous purchases and don't seem to have any solutions to my problem.

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Hopefully you take the time to back up these files regularly in the future.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

Unfortunately, the G4 will only recognize a WEP password, as you have found out. WPA will not work.

Restore it from the most recent backup.
If you have failed to backup then you have truly lost everything.

I need help I have lost all my music that was in my iphone after I sync my phone with itunes Library now I want to know how can I get it back.
Thank you

Trying to get some more info: You had music on your phone and on your computer before this- correct? Are you syncing to the same computer with the same Apple ID that you did before? Does iTunes still show your music - but not your phone? Is this the situation or something different.
More info will help us help you.
