I lost all of the contacts and photos on my iPhone after accidentally restoring it to my iPod's data, is there a way to get back that info?

I just got a new iPhone and it had not been backed up on my computer until now.  Are the contacts saved elsewhere?  It seems as though all of the stuff saved on my iPhone has been replaced with all of the stuff saved on my iPad touch, even the tabs I had open in Safari!  I can't find the back up of the stuff originally on my iPhone.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • I plugged my iphone into my computer and it backed it up and restored it or something and i  lost all of my contacts and photos and somehow got all  of my goddaughters instead. what can I do to get mine back?

    i think it went to icloud or itunes and i need my contacts back

    Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected.

  • I've lost all of my contacts and notes on my Iphone 5 and Ipad2

    I couldn't find more my contacts and notes.
    Something occurred on to my Cloud...
    It doesn't accept more my old ID and password...
    I have create another account, but it is blank obviously...
    Now I'm next to desperation...

    When they were not on iCloud - I found them in my EMAIL folders of all places!!! Check your emails (any emails that you may have used) and see if you can find a folder called NOTES.  I couldn't believe my notes were scattered between three different e-mail accounts.  If you go to SETTINGS, then Mail, contacts and calenders---check which email addresses are listed, and if any are turned ON, turn them off, then your notes won't be synced to your e-mails and will instead will go to ICloud if you have Icloud set up.  Check it out, worked for me.  Good luck!

  • I live outside of the US and I dont have a US credit card but lots of itunes credit. Is there any way to get itunes match or is it only for people with US credit cards

    How do I get I tunes match without a us credit card

    iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability
    Once you determine if iTM is available in your country of residence then you'll need a credit card drawn on a local bank and an address to subscribe to iTunes Match.

  • Is Apple even close to a fix for the fix of the IOS 8.0.2.  i have lost all my pictures, contacts and more particulary my ability to access wi-fi.l

    Is Apple even close to a fix for the fix of the IOS 8.0.2.  i have lost all my pictures, contacts and more particulary my ability to access wi-fi.  I have switched to a Droid and not sure I would ever go back to an iPhone again.

    I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.

    Hi bluegrandpanash,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

    Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
    If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • How do I stop all my contacts and photos on my  iphone from sharing with my ipod

  • I want to delete ALL of the Contacts, and start fresh.

    I want to delete ALL of the Contacts transfered from my iMac shortly after setting up my new iPad 4th Gen, so I can start a new Contact list that is better scaled down for my Face Time and eMail usage (without the other 900 business contacts). I cannot find a way to highlight the entire list and then do a single Delete. SInce I don't have Lion or higher on my iMac, I cannot do an iCloud sync to do the job. Any suggestions?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • I lost all of my contacts and I do not know what I did?

    I lost all of my contacts and I do not know what I do?

    We have to get our computers upgraded to Mountain Lion version 10.8.4.  I currently run Snow Leopard version 10.6.6.  When they upgrade, they wipe out everything saved on our computers.  This is why I want to know how to save my video clips from iMovie.
