I lost all my photos and contacts after updating my Iphone 4 to IOS 5.1.1?
Hello there, I'm in deep stuff and I seriously need help.....Yesterday I plugged in my Iphone 4 to Itunes for a back up after the back up was done it asked me to update my Iphone so I did after it was done it asked me to restore it and I did but somehow the backup from last night was replaced from the backup after the update...this is what COMPLETELY blows my mine...where did that backup go? any suggestions? PLEASE someone help me i had over 4000 pictures from my sweet 16 and when i went on vacation i need them....God bless whoever finds me a solution and sorry if I'm not making sense <3.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
You should also be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. They hsould be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

So I plugged in my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time and I accedentally pressed restore. My wife has a iPhone 4s and has plugged in her phone to the computer many times to sync. 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?
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.

Lost all bookmars, history and settings after updateing to 3.6

how do I recover my bookmarks and setting after they were lost after updating to 3.6See:

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window. -
I have lost all my apps and voicemails after updating both itunes and iphone, where are they?!?
hi everyone
After spending hours at the pc today i finally updated itunes
After doing this i updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5, it was backed up prior to the update.
i finally managed to update to ios 5 after about 5 attempts, but now i have no voicemails (which i need as i have a car insurance claim going through and that was my proof they were in the wrong!!) and no apps!!
When i first tried to resync my iphone to itunes it didnt recognise it but now it does.
Prior back up has DISSAPEARED!!!
Help?!?Contact iTunes support & request they add the lost music to your iTunes download queue:

Apps, you can re-download for free. -
So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?
If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.
I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?
If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

HT1349 lost all my photos and videos
hello
i've restarted my iphone and i lost all my photos and videos unfortunatly
i do not have backup for it
please could you help me
i looking forward to hearing about it as soon as possible
thank youIf your photos and videos are gone and there's no backup, then there's not much you can do.
Next time, be more careful. Upload photos and videos to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be stored and archived safely on the computer -
I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!
OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this. -

If you have a back up in iTunes, you can restore from that back up. The article below will assist with getting that backup restored.

just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?
You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. -
I have an iPhone 4 and plugged it into itunes on my computer for the first time. Only to discover my sister has obviously plugged hers into my itunes account and now I have lost all my photos and numbers. Please help me!!
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 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 just set my iPad to factory setting and I lost all my photos and I didn't have backup on I cloud , is there any way to get it back?
If you did not backup your iPad, your photos are gone forever.

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either
To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
