I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?
The photos and videos were obviously taken before I plugged it in and I didn't get a chance to back it up. It just synced and erased everything once I plugged it in. The photos and videos were very important to me and it would mean everything to me to get them back. Please help.

There is more to the story than you're letting on. Possibly prompts from iTunes on your compute when you plugged in the phone that you didn't read before selecting an option...
The bottom line is, if they are not on your computer as a result of the sync, and you didn't back them up previously, then they are gone.

HT201210 I plugged in my iphone to my computer and now my phone has the itunes displayed but doesn't work at all.

I plugged in my iphone to my computer to my itunes account. my phone do not work now, just displays the iturnes logo. No call can be received. Any advise?

Unless you had backed up some of your data to iCloud, there's no way to get it back with the exception of previous iTunes purchases which can be redownloaded.

I bought some songs on my iphone but the song aren't showing up in my music library. I plugged in my iphone to a computer and the songs showed up on the computer but still aren't on my phone.

The songs show up on itunes as bought, on the itunes app they are under the more ---> purchased but not downloaded. So i download them and they still don't showing up in my phones library.

Thanks Stephen! I did indeed miss the "Update iTunes Match". I got my hopes up that this would fix it, but alas, no luck. I clicked that on my computer, and it said it was doing a bunch of updates, looked like it was uploading my new setup to the cloud. I then opened up my music on my phone and sadly, nothing had changed. All my old playlists were still there and none of the new ones. I even went into the settings and turned off Match, then turned it back on; went back into my Music and all my playlists were gone and it started downloading them again (thankfully just the lists, not the music, so it didn't take long). But again, it just brought up the old lists and not the new ones.
Any other ideas?
Anyone?

I just got my new Iphone 5s activated at verizon. I came home to plug into my computer to get all my apps, etc that I had backed up from old phone. Computer keeps saying it can't access the new phone due to a password and that I need to enter password and try again. However, I don't have a password set on the new phone. Any help would be appreicated....I don't want to loose all my back up.

HT4137 Hi, I have encountered a problem while trying to update my iOS. I had plugged in my iPhone to the computer and got a a prompt message to download and update my iOS to 8.0.2, clicked yes and the phone has completely hunged up! Can someone help sort

My iPhone was running on the latest iOS 7.1.2 the latest just before the release of 8.0.2
The phone just went blank on me while the download anf update was running, I can now only see the iTunes emblem and a cable plug in on the screen as if the download is still running
I tried switchingoff and on and nothing happens, after it switches off, the same items come back to the screen

Thanks Chris for your advice. I have done the restoration from both the device and computer as a new device but it doesn't help. Even I have restored my device to the factory settings with standard apps in it without installing any other additional apps, the phone heats up & I have to recharge at least 3 times per day. This is abnormal to me.

If I plug my iPhone into a computer, and just want to play non-manually managed music, why does that computer have to be authorized?

My home base computer has been authorized to play music my friend has downloaded from iTunes. I can upload that music to my iPhone and play it on the phone without any issue. When I am at work, I plug my iPhone into my computer and play music through my work computer. But the music is not manually managed, nothing is being stored on that computer, it simply streams through to the headphone jack, allowing me to use iTunes as a control panel for the phone's music library.
I can play my own music just fine (because my work computer is authorized for my account). But I can't play my friend's music, because my work computer isn't authorized for HIS account. Nor should I expect him to waste one of his 5 authorizations on my work computer.
But why does it need to be so? If I'm already authorized to play his songs on my iPhone, then what difference does it make if it's streaming through my work computer or not? Why does Apple care, and why are my music playing rights being unnecessarily infringed? I am currently a very unhappy iTunes customer because of this.
We don't have to buy music from iTunes you know. If I buy the CD, I can upload it without any of these play rights issues. I can give my friend my CDs while he gives me his and all of this goes away. The harder and more user unfriendly playing music from the iTunes Store becomes, the less likely we'll be to buy it. This is a very simple fix. If my home base computer is authorized and I can put music on my iPhone, I should be able to play that music off the phone anywhere at any time, so long as I'm not making a copy. And I am not making copies. Fix this or we shop elsewhere.

I spent an hour on the phone w/ apple support this morning. I went through all the trouble shooting and it appears everything is working fine...until you plug the phone in and try to use itunes. Then they put me on hold for 20 min. While they did this i had a guy at work who had an older version of itunes on his cpu plug my phone in. Voila! It popped right up in iTunes. Their product specialist told me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes 8.2. Didn't work. Then they told me to uninstall and reinstall an older version of iTunes. That way I could get music on my phone, but I would not be able to update to the newest version of the iPhone OS. That's great and all, but it really hasn't solved any problems. I'm giving apple the benefit of the doubt due to the fact they just released the newest version of itunes, a new iphone, and a new iphone OS; so there's bound to be bugs and fixes. But that goodwill probably won't last to long. So if they won't fess up to the fact there's a problem w/ the new iTunes soon and fix it I guess they're going to have to give me a new phone.

I bought songs on itunes through my iphone. When I went to plug my iphone into my computer to sync, itunes asked me to restore. I backed my phone up, but now i cannot find the songs i purchased through my phone. How do i get back the songs?

I bought songs on itunes through my iphone not too long ago. When I went to plug my iphone into my computer to sync, itunes asked me to restore my phone. I backed my phone up, but now i cannot find the songs i purchased through my phone. I've looked for the songs in the itunes store, but it said that i had not purchased any of the songs.How do i get back the songs?

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

I just plugged my iPhone in my computer and now it synced my iPod pictures and everything to it. i would like to go back to nomad, how?

I just plugged my iphone in my computer and it synced my ipod and now everything is messed up, help!

I'm guessing you don't want your Photos synched to your iPhone (and that is your definition of not being "messed up"). It's really pretty hard to tell from your note.
Anyway, if that's the case, in your computer's iTunes display, when you have your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone on the left, then the "Photos" tab in that display. Then uncheck the box near the top that says "Sync photos from ...". Then click the "Apply" button near the bottom of the display and all will be well.

I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?

Hi tinashah817,
Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

I have windows 8... Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?

It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

It was a very bad idea to post your email address where millions of people will see it. Expect your spam to increase exponentially, as well as the phishing attempts. It would probably be a good idea to change your password to a really strong one, and, as you have gmail, look into Google's two factor authentication.
