iTunes only keeps one backup, every new backup replaces the old one, only backups used to restore from are not overwritten and marked with a time stamp.
If you can't find any other backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, your contact info's are gone. Only if you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you would be able to restore the old backup folder containing the latest backup at that time.
The location of the backup folder is described in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

I changed my password for iCloud on my Mac, but my iPhone and iPad keep reverting back to the old password which no longer works. I cannot iMessage or purchase anything from iTunes.
Hello, on the Date...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

My partner was trying to sync my phone to iTunes on our mac but instead restored all his phone details to my phone. It appears that I have lost everything. I have no backup. How can I restore my iPhone.
hmm thats kinda odd! how he managed to do that i dont know I thought the backups were locked per phone or phonenubmers serial. Anyhow IF you have no backup at all then you have lost everything. There is software out there that can recover data on the phone that was deleted.. I would personally click restore on Itunes and restart over. You cant get back what you lost that easy and software that does recover deleted data may not allways work 100% and costs money for the software..
Lesson learned huh.. -
i just bought my ipad 2 and tried to on it all i could see is an iTurn logo and a USB cable on the screen. i can't get to the home page what should i do?
The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes. Getting started guide : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4053
The iPad manual also has a chapter on getting started - it can be downloaded from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad -

Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?
Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?

When trying to transfer my purchases on my phone to my computer, I went to file>devices>transfer purchases, and said I have done so. But if I try to update my iphone a box pops up and says I should still transfer my purchased items first. But I already have, am I doing something wrong?
No, just a reminder that you should do so beforehand, which you have already done.

I'm traveling out of USA for 2mos, and t have a 4s that I'm taking with can use it there or what should I do from this end
If your phone is carrier locked, contact your carrier about International provisioning, if you want to use your phone functions out of the country. You would pick a plan/carrier where you plan on traveling & pay your US carrier. Not cheap, but your phone would work as a phone. If your phone is officially unlocked, you can use local sims when you get where you are going. Phone functions work & this is the cheapest option if you want to use your phone, as a phone. Otherwise, put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on. While your phone won't work as a phone, you can still have Internet access when connected to WiFi.

contacted a vendor about an app and they have not returned my email. I want to cancel the purchase. What should I do?
You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the app is defective in some way. If you just don't like or no longer need the app, a refund is unlikely.
Good luck.

i bought my ipad from ksa and am from egypt .. my ipad connected to the itunes in ksa but from someone else laptop and i came here to egypt and it says itunes could not connect to this ipad becuz an unknown error :S what should i do please someone tell me !!?
Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account.
