I restored my itouch and lost all my pictures and contacts. Any fix?

Earlier today I plugged my ipod into my laptop as uaual to let it syc. I later realized that there was music that I wanted to take off of it. I did that and unplugged my itouch and it said I needed to connectg to itunes and restore my itouch so i did. AFter it was done I realized that I had my apps and music through itunes but I had lost my contacts, pictures and videos. I had so many memories and wallpapers and important contacts saved! Is there any way to get them back?

If you restore from backup you should get back your contacts up to the time the backup was made. The same for photos and video if they ere directly imported to the iPod like saved photos or videos and pictures taken with the 4G's camera. If the videos and photos were synced to the iPod they should be on you computer, they are not included in the backup.

I need help please.
thank you

The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

Lost all my pictures in Aperture, any idea where they're hiding?

Any ideas on how to find missing pictures on my Imac in Aperture?

What system, what OS and what version of Aperture? How many disks are on the system? Is the library on the internal or an external disk?
Make sure all external disks are attached, turned on and mounted then:
Open Aperture. Select File->Switch to Library->Other/New
A window will open in which Aperture will list all the libraries it finds on the disks attached to the system. While it is searching a spinning disk will appear at the bottom of the window. Let it run until that stops.
Look in the list, are other libraries listed? Is one possibly the one with the missing images?

You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

Can you try to use another computer?
If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
Did you try to put it in recovery mode?
iOS: Unable to update or restore

I had to reset my settings on my iPhone, and seem to have lost all the pictures do my camera roll, how can I restore them

restore from your backup. IF you don't have a backup then your pics are gone.
If you import your pics to your PC - you can use itunes to sync it back to your phone.

I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers. Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared. Now just a phone number. What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

After updating my iphone 4 with iOS 6, I lost all my pictures, contacts, and music. How do I get this all back if I don't have the icloud?

My friend updated her iphone 4g with the iOS6 and lost all of her photos, contacts, messages, and music. She doesn't believe she had the icloud set up because after they restored her phone they asked for a new apple-id. Any suggestions on how to get all of her stuff back, she has a newborn and all of her pictures of him are gone!

I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

Hi dreamafrombartow,
I hope you are able to get your pictures back. Do you have a backup anywhere else?
I did find a couple articles that may help with your recovery.

Have new PC with windows 8. I own photoshop elements 9 and I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging, how do I retrieve them?

I own elements 9. All files were backed up to a external hard drive and then downloaded to a new PC, with windows 8. I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging. How do I retrieve all of this back into Elements 9?

It appears that you have made a backup via Windows and not via the integrated backup/restore process in the organizer. Since the albums and tagging are stored in catalogs, they are lost unless you also made a backup of the catalogs themselves.
The correct way to move your catalog(s) and images to a new computer:

Is your old computer still useable ?

Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc? I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

Are you talking about restore of the iPhone from its backup, or something else? The first time you sync an iOS device on each calendar day iTunes will update the backup set for the device. If you remove data from the device and backup, then the backup of that data has gone. For this reason it actually makes sense to restore an iOS device periodically as, once used for a restore, the backup set is archived and a new one created.
Ideally you would have backed up these pictures somewhere. If you enabled it, you may find pictures in your Photo Stream.
In general you need to keep a backup copy of all your important files. iTunes will let you download most past purchases from the store but backing up other content is down to you. The user Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to do this for iTunes, but the same tool can be used to preserve other folders of data.

Had Christmas pictures of family and friends. I'll be so sad if I can't them back.

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.
If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

Did you get any error messages? What happens when you try to restore from backup? Error messages?
If music, the apps themselves and some other items were not in yur iTunes library when you did the update they will not be on the iPod after the update. This is because the apps themselves (app data is in the backup), music and some other items are not part of the backup and are synced to he iPod during a latter stage of the update.
