I tried to sync my phone for the first time and somehow it restored and i lost all my data.  Help!

If you don't have a backup made by iTunes, your data and settings are gone.

  • Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive.  When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

    hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive.  When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

    Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
    Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
    Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
    Hopefully I was of some help:)

  • Syncing my phone for the first time, i lost the contacts in the phone

    Hello-
    I've had my phone about a month and i've been phyically inputting contacts as I go.
    I also have a work imac and a home imac where i sync my cal's and contact info.
    When i plugged in my iphone today to download the newest update, I did the sync thing with my home desktop, and once finished it wiped away all contacts created IN THE PHONE.
    Can someone explain why/how this could have happened?
    And is it only a one-way device for syncing?
    I can't seem to retrieve any of the data that I had put straight into the phone.
    Thanks

    Did your home computer have any contacts in Outlook (since you said you normally sync contacts with your work computer)? If there weren't any contacts in Outlook, it would replace. If there were contacts in Outlook it should have given you the option to merge or replace and you would have (should have) chosen merge.
    If you re-sync with your work computer, it should sync all of the contacts back onto the phone. It is a two-way sync, but gets a little trickier when you go between multiple computers.
    I would recommend disabling auto sync on your home computer, so you can plug in your phone and have control of what's "checked or not checked" to sync before it starts to sync and does stuff you don't want it to do...

  • Should it take this long to sync my Nano for the first time? Nine hours and counting!!!

    New Nano. Installed itunes on my laptop...moved all my music into the library. Checked the songs I want on my and chose to sync the lower 128kbps for syncing. Started this sync over nine hours ago and am a little over halway done syncing the 8.6gb of audio. Should it take this long? Is this what I can expect everytime I sync my ipod?

    No you shouldn't expect this everytime you sync your Nano.  The conversion process to 128 kpbs AAC option may be the cause of the issue.  However, they should now be already converted, so the next time you sync your iPod, it should only take a fraction of the amount of time it has this first time.
    In short, no need to worry.

  • Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone.  I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
    I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
    I hope someone has a fix other than that one.

  • ...here goes...i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it, and walked away....when i returned it showed i had to open an account, ... my phone was charged, but the problem is it deleted all my pics and my contacts.....  is there

    i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it and was in a hurry and walked away, when i returned the add apple i tunes account information screen was up.....
    my problem is, all my pictures got deleted from my phone, all my contacts got deleted also......weird thing is it put pictures on my phone from another phone and also txt msg from another phone......  has this ever happened to anyone else? if so,....do you know how, or where the pictures got moved to? and if they were deleted, is there a way to pull deleted pictures form a phones memory??   thank you any body that can give me any assistance....i really need it...

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.
