I restored an iphone on a mac that it hadn't been previously synced with, and then accidentally clicked the sync button and now the music library on my mac is gone - can I get it back? If so, how do I get it back?

This is a crazy circumstance of events. We have an iphone that we use as our office line. My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks. Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked. He set a passcode on it while he was using it. Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone. In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe. Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck. So I looked up what needed to be done and how to restore the iphone. This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with. I restored it. And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up. I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored. I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists. This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters. There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those. Is there any way to get it all back???? Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Hi jholzworth,
It sounds like you might have accidentally hit the zoom button. Try hitting ''CTRL + 0'' to return it to normal size. Just so you are aware, ''CTRL'' and ''+'' will zoom in and ''CTRL'' and ''-'' will zoom out.
Hopefully this helps!

The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x. You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom). If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID. Then you should be good to go.

I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

Before you did the resotore Via itunes you should of made a Back-up of your Data. But to be honest, i don't think that you would be able to get that stuff back.. Sorry mate

Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Is there a case on the iphone?
If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar.
