I lost my contacts and pictures when I synced up with my itunes account and it synced to my old apple id how do i get them back?

I had contacts and pictures on my new iphone 4 from my old android. I went to sync my music and itunes account and it asked if I wanted to restore. I thought that it meant the music so i said yes. I lost all of my contacts and pictures and it set everything up from the old iphone/apple id that i used to have onto my phone. How do I get the pictures and contacts back?

It also asked if I wanted to update my software and it did that too

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

All my email has disappeared from iCloud. I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013. What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
If that helps then you most likely have some security software that isn't working properly.

I purchased a few ringtones from itunes, but about a week later, they dissapeared. They are not showing up on my itunes library either. I tried to re-purchase them and itunes recognizes that i have already purchased the ringtones. How do I get them back?

I would like to know how to retrieve them so i do not have to purchase them again.

call the APPLE store, even though it reconize you purchase them already, APPLE will charge you again. it happened to me. when u call them they can resend them to your phone FREE of charge. It makes no sense, i mean they know you already purchase them, then y dont they just allow us to redownload them free of charge.SMDH

I lost all my music on my iphone by clicking to the itunes store transfer purchase how do i get them back

Hi i wanted to transfer the music from my iphone to the computer with out erasing from my phone then when i called techinical suppost he told me to click transfer purchase (my name) and now the music i bought in itunes that was on my iphone 4 is all gone how can i get them back!!

Is the music not on your computer?
You buy one and only one download.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

I bought music on my iphone 5 and now it has gone afterI changed my apple ID how can i get it back?

I have an Iphone 5 and I bought albums on it via itunes store app. I now realised they have gone. I can only imagine it is because I have had to change my apple ID as I no longer use the old email address (old company). I am disappointed that this has been the result though. I have synced my iphone with one of the PC's that has my itunes to see if it will reappear but no. How do I get them back?
It is strange as it was there one evening and then the next it was gone. I hadn't actually changed anything that evening but I wonder if it was the result of the home sharing sync or something?

It doesn't matter that your Apple ID, which uses the same characters as your old email address, now has a defunct address. You need to go into your Apple ID profile and change the defunct address for a valid one. This will not necessarily change the "address" which stands as your Apple ID.
By "changing" the address directly on the Apple ID itself and not on the profile, you inavertedly created a new Apple ID.

I mounted my external hard drive to a pc and now I don't have edit or write permissions on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive?

Hello all, I am a photographer and have my portfolio, edited and raw images backed up on a Seagate Free Agent External Hardrive. I mounted my external hard drive to a pc recently and now I don't have edit or write permissions to it on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive and loosing my valuable work?

If you re-format it you will lose all the data on it!!!!! So make sure you have backed up the drive or moved all the data on it to another external HD or the internal HD on your iMac.
Below is an Apple Advice letter that explains how to format an external HD, it's written for Aperture but you can use the instructions to formate any external HD.

Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

Its a easy fix,it will take too much time to type out all of the steps,
Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
Apple support can talk you through it.

Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone.
