Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.

I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?
Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.
If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
Otherwise two options:
Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore. But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder.
iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version:
http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
Here are locations of your backup folder.
Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup -
since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?
Yes, go to your 'iTunes Store' app on your iPhone or whatever device you lost them on, then go to the 'more' tab, and choose 'purchased', then find your ringtones that you wanted and redownload them, you won't need to repay for them.
Hope this helps :)
Happy hunting :) -
Help I lost all my photos and contacts when I updated phone
You mean you chose to restore your iPhone with iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync the iPhone.

I am using a Windows 64 bit premium, the phone is the 3g 16gig, and I cannot retrieve the photos from the photo library. I can retrieve the camera roll. How do I get the photos from the photo library?
I'm sorry I was not clear, I am extremely frustrated with iPhones right now. That is the reason my new phone is an Android!
I have a camera roll folder on the iPhone that has 346 photos that I took with the iPhone. I was able to retrieve those simply by connecting the iPhone to the computer. I have a second folder on the iPhone that is called Photo Library that has 818 photos that I wanted to retrieve from my iPhone. These photos were placed onto the iPhone from a sync, but my computer crashed and I had to format the hard drive. Doing so obviously caused me to loose all of my photos on my computer. The photos on the iPhone in the Photo Library are associated to the old computer folder library so it will not sync to the new computer. I was trying to retrieve those photos, but was not having any luck.
UPDATE! I remembered that I had backed up the computer hard drive to an external hard drive before the crash. I located ALL of the photos on that hard drive that I was trying to retrieve from the iPhone Photo Library.
*NOTE* If anyone has an answer to how to retrieve these photos, please post as my father is also have issues trying to retrieve photos the same way only he did not have his backed up. -
i downloaded a new update and now all my photos and contacts are gone
This information should be on the computer you have regularly been Syncing and Backing up to...

I want to know how to get my ringtones back after upgrading to ios 5 and having my phone restored during it
Pictures taken with the phone are part of the backup. So, if you still have a backup from before that happened, restore from it and all photos taken up to that point in time will be restored, if they were inside the camera roll.

After the most recent software update my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage. Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct? In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

i have a ipod touch 2g and after a restore none of my apps will restore because it says that i need a newer version of the ipod software to run them they all work fine till i did the restore . is there any way to get them back ?
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for. Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde
