I lost all of my information updating to iOS 6 on my IPhone 4. How do I get it back?

As Lawrence Finch suggests you can recover more recent information if you have a more recent iCloud backup.
To avoid this problem in the future you should check the iTunes settings when your phone is connected. Make sure iTunes is not set to sync automatically when your iPhone is connected. Another step to take is to give your new iPhone a unique name that is different from your old iPhone. Finally, the best way to charge an iPhone is to use the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a good wall outlet.

in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
in there. Please help,

If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

My laptop hard disc has lost all files and folders my music is still on my ipod how can i get it back inmy library

HELP !My laptop is died Ive used recovery disc which restored it but ive lost my music but it isstil on my ipod how can i put it back in itunes library without syncing + losing it all?

Transfer iTunes' purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Tranfer other stuff by using the info in this previous discusssion.
Best iPod to PC
After you get the stuff in your iTunes library you may have to let iTunes erase the iPod and replace it s contents with what is now in your iTunes library.

I synched my iphone to 2 laptops and have now lost all the music purchased by my wife in our itunes library, how do i get this back and restore it to both our iphones?

I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easier

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Lost all my thumbnails - new tabs open only a blank page. How do I get them back?

The support topic on this question says to look for a "pin" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs page with the thumbnails, but it is no longer doing that, and I don't know how to fix it.
I downloaded some freeware that changed a number of browsing options (default browser, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Got that all removed but then Firefox wasn't working well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumbnails are gone and I can neither get them back nor create new ones.
Help!
Cheers, Dolly

MOST EXCELLENT. Not only did this work, but I was able to do it all very easily AND it brought back all my previously set up thumbnails in the order I had them arranged on the new tab pages! Wonderful.
I will definitely keep these instructions for future reference, but I had already gone in and deleted all apps and extensions that I did not recognize as from Firefox or that I hadn't added myself. So I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pesky malware that caused the problem already. Great links for that task however.
Thank you SO much!!
Cheers, Dolly

I have lost all my headings, like bookmarks, facebook etc. What happened and how do I get them back?

At the top of the screen it might say bookmarks, I would click on that and book marks would all be listed. I have lost the top part of my home page with all the things i need like my bank website etc.

I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

I have lost all of my calendar entries on both iPad and iPhone. Any way to get them back?

I cannot find any of my past calendar entries. This is the only calendar I use and need those entries. I have NOT updated to os7. I DO back up to iCloud every night.....HELP!

Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud - > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup.

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.
