I somehow lost all of my contact during a sync yesterday, how do I get them back on the phone?

Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

After updating my iphone 3G to ios 6, I have lost all of my contacts and my picture. How do I get them back and where do I find them? I cannot locate them on my daughters pc and I have no idea where they are. I chose backup to cloud when I did the update.

I have not updated my iPhone 3G since 2010 as I do not have a computer and have to use my daughters pc. She plugged in my phone to update through iTunes (which took all night) and in the morning it was completed. We backedup to the icloud but now mu pictures and contacts are missing. We cannot locate my contacts on icloud or on the phone.
How do I locate my missing contacts and put them back ON MY PHONE. I had over 150 contacts with information like phone numbers, birthdays, and anniversaries.
Do I need to restore the phone? Are they on the cloud?????

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:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

HT5610 I updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.6 and lost all my ringtones I purchased from itunes. How do I get them back?

I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished. In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone. How can I get them back?

Hi,
No need to post three times!
Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

I updated my iPhone and lost all photos, videos and e-mail accounts. How do I get them back?

I updated my iPhone yesterday (simply to get rid of the reminder that was bugging me). The last time I updated the phone everything went fine, my settings, ringtones, messages photos etc all backed up perfectly. This time around all my photos are gone, my videos have disappeared, ringtones are back at factory settings and my e-mail accounts are all gone. I've also lost all my messages which is a real bummer because there were contact details in some of them. I've tried restoring the phone from iTunes and going back to a previous backup but no joy. Can anyone help?
Failing that can anyone tell how best to complain to Apple??? (Would anyone give a "s h one t" anyway!) Aaaaggghhhh!

I have lost all my photos and videos in iTunes as well. I don't understand how all my music transferred over but not those?
Pictures were never in iTunes. iTunes is not a photo management program. It is merely a tool that allows syncing of a specified folder to an iDevice. Was the folder that was being synced copied from the old computer to the new computer?
John Hanniffy wrote:
Another weird thing is that some of my Apps 'changed' in the upgrade and now don't work (e.g. Group Text App reverted to the 'free' Ad bearing version whereas I previously had the 'paid' No-Ad version installed).
That leads me to believe they were not in the Apps folder in iTunes... maybe they were never transfered to the computer. These can be downloaded again via iTunes or directly on the device.

As I said in my initial post the thing that really bugs me is the loss of my SMS texts. I don't see any way of backing those up on iTunes and when I previously upgraded the iPhone software they, along with all my settings, transferred over seamlessly.
SMS/MMS/iMessage is included in the backup of the device done via iTunes. Restoring of that backup will put all the content back. This should also restore the email account setup

I have lost all my movies, t.v.shows and music, how do I get them back

My computer shot down a couple of times, so I went to have it repaired. The technician needed to reboot the whole system so he save my movies, t.v. shows, apps, music and all on another harddrive. While he was at it I requested to have him installed the new window version Windows 7 Professionnel. Since that awful idea of mine, not only can I not watched or have acces to my movies, t.v. shows, music etc. now the system is telling me there is an incompatibility with windows and Itune, but before this I upgraded Itunes to version 10.06 something, so now the movies that I download work alright they just don't have sound anymore. I can listen and play with my games and all and the sound is fantastic but I soon as I use Itunes, I hear silence and it freezes all the time. I am ****** at Itunes for not being able to help me out, everytime I tried to have contact with a technician I also hear silence, ain't that a kick in the butt. So can anyone out there help me, I have tried many things suggested by people that had the same problem but to no vail, nothing works. I am also wondering about my 300 movies and 400 songs that I have paid for, what will Itunes do to help me out?
Thank you for all your help,

I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

SIRI is only for IPhone 4s. You have voice control, not SIRI.

I have just updated my iphone 4s to the latest software and synced it with itunes. All my music was previously on the phone, but now many tracks seem not to be on the phone, despite the track title showing up. How do I get them back on the phone?

Music missing from iPhone 4s after update to IOS 8.3

Please, make sure you follow these instructions: Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Or, if you use Wi-FI to sync music, make sure you have it enabled on your phone and wait till all the music tracks are synced.
To set up syncing over Wi-Fi, follow these instructions: Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support

How did it get disabled?
Are these apps that you paid for or your school paid for? If they are yours make sure you have entered your AppleID in Settings > iTunes & App Store and download them again. You don't have to pay again.

Lost my Camera Raw presets after reloading CC. How can I get them back into the Camera Raw converter part?

Sorry can't take an image of the screen and post into here.
The section in Camera Raw conversion, where it has the Presets section, I have lost my presets.
Had a computer virus and had to reload everything.
Can somebody please tell me where I can put my presets into the Photoshop and Lightroom CC section
so that it will work?
Thanks

Your LR preset folder can be found using: Edit / Preferences / Presets / Show LR Presets Folder (and there is a Store Presets with Catalog checkbox that you might want to check or uncheck depending on what it was, before).
Your ACR presets are in a Settings folder next to the Cache folder as shown on this page:

The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top. On the Summary tab, click Check for Update. You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
