I just lost ALL my files when i updated my ipad 2 to IOS 5.0

I had over 20 GB files including music, apps and most of all tv shows, overall i lost around $300 in content i litterally have had my ipad stripped of all its media is there anyway i can get my stuff back? Or am i just screwed -_-

I lost all my apps/music as well upgrading to 5.0 on an IPAD 2. I synced up to Itunes before upgrading but all those files were lost as well.   Fortunately I saved my photos/videos separately on an external hard drive.  The rest of the apps, music, in app buys, books, etc were all recoverable as the App store (and others) had a list of everything I had purchased previously and I just had to re-install/load them.

  • Will I loose the saved e-mail accounts when I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5?

    Hello,
    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.2 and I have 5 mail accounts stored and I don't know their passwords. I just wanted to ask that if I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, will I loose those?

    There is no real reason why you should lose the email settings when you update the iOS. I have 4 email accounts and I lost nothing at all - settings, data, apps - nothing. I did not have to enter my passwords again either.
    There is no guarantee that the experience will be error free for you - but iTunes will backup your iPad prior to the update and all of your settings are in that backup - including email settings. You can always restore from the backup if you lose the accounts - in theory anyway.
    I deleted a problematic email account a few months ago and then was unable to add back on to the iPad. After trying for a couple of hours with continued failure, I decide to restore from my backup and everything was restored and in working order.
    One note - I restored from the backup prior to any furhther backups of the device. In other words - you would have to restore from the backup before you create another backup.

  • I've lost all my bookmarks when I updated to FF7. This is a disaster! ! ! ! When will I be able to use my Yahoo bookmarks again? ? ?

    There are no more detail. I just lost all my bookmarks. I want them back ! ! ! !

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I lost all my bookmarks when I updated Firefox

    When I updated Firefox I lost all my bookmarks

    Hi there, have you already tried the solutions in [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]? If not please check it out. If those instructions don't work, we need to know if your bookmarks are still in a backup file.
    Is it possible you ended up in a new profile when you updated? Did you get a message about your profile being in use? This case is also covered in that article.
    If nothing helps let us know if your bookmarks are in a backup and what version you upgraded from and if you used the automatic update or if you installed a new version by hand. Also if you have any add-ons installed.

  • HT1711 i lost all my music when i updated my itunes on my computer

    i lost all of my music on my laptop when i updated my itunes on my computer what happen ino music in my libary on my computer

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music yo will have to get them from where you originally obtained them. The iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • HT1386 When I update my IPad to the IOS 5 system will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITunes store?

    I have an IPad 2.  I want to update it to an IOS 5.  Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?

    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings  - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Calendar lost all alert files when I upgraded-..

    Hello,
    I use a LOT of events in Calendar that run either Applescript apps or Automator alarms.
    Since I updated to Mavericks, it seems that all of the pointers to the app files are gone. 
    When I go in to re-establish the links to the files to "open" (Alert->Open File->"other".......)
    Sometimes when I click "other", a window will open for me to navigate and select the file. That is how it should work. yay!
    Except many times when I click on "other", nothing happens.  If I click okay, then the default of Calendar is saved (so when the alarm fires, it opens Calendar). If I click Cancel, the whatever the default alert action (sound.....) is what is saved.
    When the alarms that I have been successful about fixing do fire, they work as they should (run the applescript or automator workflow). That is good.
    This seems to be specifically a Calendar issue, as most other things are working as they should. 
    Except a folder action to rename files dropped on it. 
    But that is for a different thread.
    Any assistance or suggestions or insight into how to fix my Calendar would really be appreciated.  My entire operation is dependent on the calendar running the Applescript or Automator apps.
    Thank you very much!

    No help here, but I'm having something similar to this.  When I create a new Open File Alert with an Automator Calendar Workflow as the target, the alert vanishes from the event a few seconds after I save it.

  • I lost all my bookmarks when I updated to IOS 7.  How can I retrieve them?

    After upgrading to IOS7, where are my bookmarks?  They disappeared.

    "Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.

  • HT4859 lost all wifes contacts when i updated iphone4 on my computer now sehe has my contact can get contacts back

    Anyone able to help

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why didn't you warn me that I would lose all my bookmarks when I updated my iPad software?

    I just upgraded my iPad to the new software and when I went to Safari, all of my bookmarks are gone. Why the **** didn't I get a warning about this before the update?  Every time I update software on my iPhone or iPad, something gets f***ed up. For a company that makes such good toys, why can't they update their software half as good as Microsoft?
