Restore the iPhone from your backup.

Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

Where were you storing your contacts? In the cloud? In outlook? Synch them back from wherever they were being stored.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

Contact iTunes support & request they add the lost music to your iTunes download queue:

Apps, you can re-download for free.

I just lost my contacts and calendar entries through icloud, how do i get them back?

I read that the space being used up on my iphone can be from having iCloud backups on. So I turned them all off and thought when it said to delete the contacts and calendar eltries it mean the back up being stored on the phone, not the actual contacts and calendar entries. Can anyone help me to restore these items?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
Try turning them on again.

I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s. how do I get them back?

I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back???? I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they? Why did they go? How can I get them back?

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

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!

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?

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

Double-click your hard disk's icon in the Finder and check whether the amount of free space has increased.
If the amount of free space has not increased, and the name of your account's home folder was accidentally changed, use the instructions in this article to reset it.
If the amount of free space has not increased, and the name of your account's home folder was deliberately changed, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, type in your password, and change the last part of the home property of that user to point to the desired name of the home folder. Don't delete or alter any other accounts, properties, or groups, including that account's name property. When done, log out and log back in.
If the amount of free space on the hard disk has increased, use an application such as Data Rescue to get your data back.

You should have been syning them with your computer regularly. They should still be there.

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.

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.6
Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand". Does this version still see your old projects? If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

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?
