    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • I have lost ALL my photos and ALL my documents as well as my iphoto application.

    My laptop was recntly sent from Australia to London, as far as I know everything was on it when it left Australia. When i opened it up in London, everything was gone. All the folders and iPhoto included. How ever none of my music or downloads have dissapeared or been affected at all, just photos and documents. I have nothing from either left. I have spotlight searched for all JPEG and Doc/Docx files, and today I have been running Stellar Pheonix Mac recovery pretty much all day. It has turned up a few photos but no documents and no sign of iPhoto either. I regularly empty my trash so there is nothing in there. I do not think I would have accidentally deleted them anyway, but who knows. I have no back ups (Stupid I know) so time machine isnt an option either. Any help, ideas or solutions on any ways to get them back would be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou

    Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

  • HT201210 I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 for the first time and now I have lost all my photos and contacts. How do i get them back?

So when i restored i got all her photos and lost mine which were very very importent. So how do I get my photos back?

    I have plugged my new Iphone 5 into a computer with itunes that had an iphone 4s registered with it. So when I plugged in my Iphone to the laptop I may have clicked something because I was looking to just add the music from the Itunes to my phone. I am a new iphone user and dont really know what I did and am seeking assitance because I have also now lost all my contacts (which have been synced entired to the laptop I lost all my original files and was synced the files from the other iphone4s users profile.) I have also lost the link to locate my personal hotspot when i entir the settings home page. I am wondering I have downgraded my phone or something. What can I do to get my personal hotspot back?

    Restore it from the last backup you made on YOUR computer or iCloud.

    Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

    Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

    Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera.  There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
    If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device.  If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

    I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

  • I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

    I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
    Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
    If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
    1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
    2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
    Thank you!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
