I lost all my data after installing ApplCare Protection Plan

I just recently adopted my first IMac. Everything was going along fine until I installed the AppleCare Protection Plan and I lost all my emails, addresses, pictures. I tried uninstalling but nothing. Is there a way to retrieve my lost data? Thanks.

An Apple Care protection plan is purchasing an extended warranty that extends the Mac's 1 year warranty to 3 years. There is nothing to install. It involves registering your Mac's serial number on line with Apple along with the Apple Care registration code. However, Tech Tool Deluxe is a 3rd party app that comes free with Apple Care. Could that be what you tried to install, Tech Tool Deluxe?
Explain how you went about installing it please?

I lost all my data after clicking F11

Hi everybody!
I have lost all my data when I clicked F11 and factory recovery was executed.
Is there any way to return back the data? They are very important.
They were all my data, very important including all data from university - for more than 4 years.
Please help me. I need an urgent help. The operating system is Windows Vista Business Edition - it is licensed.
Best Regards,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
Unfortunately I have bad news for you.
F11 invokes the Recovery Manager, where you have a number of options. The following two options are under the I need help immediately section.
Microsoft System Restore is a nondestructive process. If you make a mistake you can roll your system back to a restore point on a date that works for you.
System recovery is, on the other hand, a destructive process which deletes all data. Before the process begins it does warn you.
You may be able to recover your data by contracting a data recovery company. It will be quite expensive and without a guarantee of success.
Did you not have your university data backed up on an external drive?

Lost all iPod data after 6.1.2 update!

My friend lost all of his data after updating to 6.1.2. Before the update, iTunes said something along the lines of "Data must be deleted to perform the update but when it is done the data will be restored".
After the update, the only thing that was restored was the music. No apps or app data (which was the most important thing).
Any way to get this back?

Sounds like the apps were not in the iTunes library. The first step of the update is iTuned making a backup. However, the backup does not included synced media like apps and music. If the apps are not in the iTunes library there is no place for the app date to g when the iPod is restored from the backup.
Try redownloading the apps by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The restoring from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
You can also restore from iCloud backup. see the above. When yo restore from iCloud backup the apps are automatically downloaded.

Lost all iCal data when installing isync

I tried a trial .mac account and lost all of my iCal info.. I know this happened through the sycronize process... Is there any way to revert this disaster?

I have just had the same arroying experience. I had mobileme and iCal on laptop working fine. Could see calendars in both. Then got iPhone 3G and it synch'ed the calendars to it fine. Went and stupidly upgraded to 2.0.1 and low and behold come to use iCal on G4 laptop (leoprd 10.5.4) and have no calendars. Look on mobile me - no calandars....eeek. Look at iPhone - still there - sighs with relief - assumes can restore to iCal on mac - wrong. Doesn't work. Odd. So read a few posts on here and someone recommended going into settings and turning off calendar syching in mobileme account. BAD move. Gave me the option of turning off calendars when I did that - turning off mind...not removing...so I said OK (surely they would say if this was going to delete them)....then turned back on....silly me. Boom! the iPhone synched with mobileme and replaced the good calendars with no calendars. So I've managed to remove all cals from all places - quite an achievement. Thanks Apple.
Any ideas how I go about restoring the calendars?

I think my wife has lost all her data after Restoring incorrectly .. can anyone help? I will add a longer explanation

Help ... My wife got an old laptop working again today. On there was an iTunes which she hadn't used for a year or more.
1. Marie plugged her 6 month old iPhone 4s into iTunes (the first time she had done this)
2. iTunes said she needed v 10.5 or above
3. She downloaded iTunes 10.7
4. She plugged iPhone back into iTunes
5. her iPhone showed the iTunes install screen
6. The screen message said an iPhone has already been synced with this iTunes (in fact it was an iPod Touch). She was asked whether she wanted to add this as a new iPhone, or if she wanted restore to "Marie's previous iPod Touch settings?"
7. You can guess what happened next. Marie mistakenly pressed Restore.
8. After she had done Restore, the phone asked her if she wanted to join iCloud and use location services etc. She clicked yes. However, by that time I am pretty sure she'd blanked the content on the iPhone by the mistaken restore from the old Touch.
8. We now have no photos, videos, contacts or text messages on the iPhone.It has been Restored with the content on what was a more or less blank iPod Touch.
QUESTION: I think she has replaced all of our content with, basically, nothing. We had many cherished photos and videos on there. Is there ANY way we can get our photos, videos etc back? Marie doesn't think she did a backup before Syncing her iphone.But would the phone have backed up previously, without her knowledge? Given that she had never plugged it into iTunesbefore...
First time we've used the Community. Marie is utterly distraught at the thought that we've lost tons of videos of our 2 year old daughter.
Can anyone help?

Have you rebooted mac? Then don't, until you checked the temporary directories. If your Aperture library went offline for some reason, Aperture may have written the images to the temporary caches.
Check these system folders, if you find any iPhone images
Quit Aperture.
Open a Terminal window and enter the following two line:
open $TMPDIR
This will open a Finder window with cryptically named folders. Dive into them and look for Aperture's Media cache folder. Are there any image files in the folder "com.apple.Aperture"?
Sometimes Aperture will write to that directory, if it cannot write to the Aperture library.
Also check the following location:
open /tmp
Added: Is there something special about the photos? Are they HDR photos, or taken i burst mode?

Lost all my data while installing os4, how to restore?

iTunes performed a backup for about 12 hours when I tried to install the new os4. After the installation was completed, it asked me to type the password for the backup to be restored. What password? I hadn't entered any password for the backup. So I went to the apps tabs and restored the apps. Then I tried to restore again and BIG SURPRISE, the 12 hour backup was no more there. There was only a backup of the new empty iPhone.
I even looked at C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup but there are only backups of the new one and not the 12 hour one.
WHERE CAN I FIND MY DATA????

yeah... did all that... latest version is iTunes, backup before installing os4... didn't interrupt anything. OS updated juuuuust fine. Data, did I actually have data on my iPod? Apparently not. I only thought I'd been entering things for the past many months.
All my apps were there from the start after the upgrade, but zero data for anything. **** thing can't even find my own wireless network. Restore from backup only offered contacts and a couple other normal iTunes things - made no mention of actual app data and restored nothing else. What's the point of the backup if all your app data can simply go away?
Anybody have any bright ideas past starting to enter data again? Is there a way to actually back up app data or is that just oh well area...

I lost all my data after upgrading to iOS5.1. It did not ask me even one single question to delete or sync anything

I tried to restore it but it gave me nothing but empty iPad. I don't use any other 'i' things. I upgrade and install my new computer and update iTunes.
It did not ask me anything about my connecting and I ask for updateing old software. Everything is gone TOO smoth and yes clean iPad.
I tried to find the answer in Internet but it did not fit my case. And they are lucky to have back up or other product from Apple to resync.
I guess this will be the last one. I also have Samsung Andriod and I like it very much even it costs me very little, quick, shape, not confusing, type it easily, not gugu.
SO NEXT ONE, I WILL BUY TABLET FROM SAMSUNG.

I thought it is a intuitive idea to back up. But another problem I heard it before is someone lost the data when he synced his new iTune with the iPad with full data. And it synced iPad empty. I could happen.
True I should back up, which I did not lost my data much except my notes in iPad.
My complain is to say normal sensible OS will not do this. My Samsung did not have fansy iTune which I have to be careful too much. I just keep/remove things without warrying stupid sync.
As you all seem has experience how to use iTune, but I don't. I cannot use it simple.

I lost all my Bookmorks after installing a new operating system.

I have just obtained a new PC and installed Windows 7 Ultimate in 64 Bit. And as is usual for me DESPITE backing up etc the whole shebang blew up in my face! the back up failed and I had to re-install again! So question is I have the OLD operating system on the OLD HD so I can find things. So how do I find the old bookmarks etc. and move same to my NEW HD and so enjoy my old settings? Indeed is it possible to install AL of the old settings from the older copy of Firefox on my old drive? If so and it is a relatively easy thing to do please feel free to ridicule me but do at least offer to help? :-)
Regards
chris

No, that file won't help you.
Look for your Firefox Profile folder on the old HDD, and copy specific files from the old Profile folder and replace the new version of each file in the new Profile folder. This support article will explain it more completely. <br />

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

HT201263 I would like retrieve all my data from my IPhone 4S after I lost all my data! Please help! ? Thank You.

I would like retrieve all my data from my IPhone 4S after I lost all my data due constant Apple logo on! After I restored this phone I lost all my contacts, text messages, pictures, videos..!!! The question I have is if I never backed up to iCloud and iTunes is there any way I can retrieve all my data that was before restoring this iPhone 4S. Please help! ? I greatly appreciated !!!

If you never synced your phone to your computer and your contacts were not synced to iCloud or another cloud-based service, everything is gone. You will have to start fro scratch.

If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

My iphone 5s is now a brick, i lost all my data with upgrading ios8.0.0 and ios8.01

i upgraded from ios7.1.2 to ios 8.0.0 and my wifi stoped working, it worked only few seconds in 1 minute, and my other apps start to lagg and couldn chat on them, so i was really happy when i saw new ios8.0.1 and started downloading it and tryed to install it but then all went wrong. so i lost all my data and i cant get it back, because when i try to restore my data from itunes it says restoring was incompleate... what can i do now?

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't change anything, backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.
