    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

  • I downloaded IOS 5 and now all of my apps are gone, how can I get them back?

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

    Restore the device using the most recent backup.
    If you have not backed up the device recently, then there is nothing to restore.

    Which photos? If the missing photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. Synced photos are not in the backup that iTunes makes.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • Hi! So I updated my mother's iPhone 4 from ios 4.2.1 to ios 6.1.3 and it went out smoothly until I found out everything got erased. My Kim's important contacts,notes and photos were there. Help me recover them please!

    Pls help me! Or I am screwed!!! The back up files got corrupted and I don't know how to fix them and me and my bff's fave foot was there and my moms job rely's on those notes and contacts! Pls :'( oh and I literally cried for 2 hrs. 10 pm to 12 am

    Um actually i know the back up password. The only problem is i cant restore my back up on to my iphone since the bak up is crrupted. And im wondering if the photos and stuff will still be seen in the back up folder if it is corrupted. My mom says its fine if the data in our iphone got erased. But did the photos save in the itunes? Can we view it even though the files are corrupted? If i cant how can i repair it? What if the back up file is erased becoz of the new dates? How can i retrieve them? Can iexplorer open a corrupted file? Latly can someone give me an application to retrieve all the files? Without purchasing it?! Plssssss answer! Im doomed!

  • I updated To iOS 6 and my notes dissapeared.how can i recover them? Tks¡

    Thanks in advance

    If you are in the habit of backing up your iPad, the notes will be in the backup, if you haven't backed up for a while, then you will only be able to recover the notes that were in the last backup.
    You did backup your iPad before you updated the iOS correct? You should never install a new operating system on any device or a computer without backing up your data beforehand.
    If you did backp, read this for the instructions on how to restore from a backup.

  • How do I return my iPhone 4 back to the way it was after I accidentally backed it up with my old iPod's information, and now all my contacts, messages, and photos are all gone?

    So I went to plug my iPhone into my computer, automatically pulling up iTunes/iTunes Store. I notice that the computer isn't recognizing my iPhone, so I look at my phone and see that it is asking me if I want to trust this computer so I click yes. Then on the computer on iTunes it asks me if I want to save it as a new device (which I should've done) or save it as a previous device (and showed the names of other devices) and I picked the save as previous device under my old iPod, thinking that it would just save it and not mess with anything (mind you, I have never backed this iPhone up before)... So I wait for it to finish saving, and when it is I realize my phone looks nothing the same as it was when it was my iPhone a few minutes ago (except all the apps I hade downloaded unto the actual iPhone) and now looked like my old iPod. It deleted all of my contacts (except ones synced from Facebook), photos (but had all the photos from my old iPod), and deleted every message I had had with someone. I know I made a mistake, and I honestly don't know if this is something that can even be fixed... But I need to at least try.! So if someone could help, I would appreciate you a lot!

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • My iPhone no longer alerts me when I have texts, even though all my notifications and sounds are on. Can I fix this?

    My phone no longer chimes when I have a new text message. Or, alternatively, it will chime when I unlock it, even if I received the message hours ago, but won't alert me when I actually receive the message for the first time. My software is updated, and all my notification sounds and alerts are on. Often it registers that there's a text message (there will be a red circle above the app), but the notification never pops up. If I do immediately get an alert, it doesn't complete the chime and my phone flashes but immediately shuts off. Is there some way that I can fix this?

    Sorry to know that.. 
    After backing-up your data try a Factory Restore. also check whether the phone Firmware upto date ? You may check using the Nokia Suite .. If not you may update that or if already with the latest Firmware re-install the Firmware and try again ..

  • I had n error when updating my phone had to restore it and lost my picture, how can i recover them?

    i was trying to backup my pictures on Itunes and was in the process when i recieved an error message telling me i had to restore my phone when I was done i was missing an album

    It is the users responsibility to copy the pictures off the device regularly like they would with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to do this and were forced to restore the device as new, the pictures are gone.

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • HT4623 I have an iPhone 4 that I just updated today to ios 6, now when I go to back up the phone to my PC, it says it can't because I don't have the latest version of iTunes. But i have iTunes 10. Please advise.

    There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com.  It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.
