I went from a 3g to 3gs about 6 mos ago. I just now went to back it up and I lost all my new stuff it backedup my old 3g phone I lost pics, txt, contacts etc.
Can anyone help me get my stuff back?
soudns like you restored from back up instead of backing up
if you had backed up the 3gs or had icloud is the only way
you can look in itunes and see if there are any back ups from the other phone,
click on itunes up by the apple>preferences>devices that lists all of the devices that have been backed up

I have just updated to i0S on my iphone and have lost all my Contacts- when I try and sync from my computer it says that my Contacts have been disabled - help!
Have you tried the usual cures such as resetting your phone or backing it up then restoring from the backup?

My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
I look forward to an early response.Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

i have an ipad, iphone, 13" macbook pro and mac mini all whihc run fine.
i bought new family macbook pro today but cant get my phone 4s to sync its data ie pics, music, contacts etc
any hints please
JimTransfer the contents from the old computer to a new computer. With a few exceptions, i-gadgets are designed to match the content of a device to the content on a computer, not really the other way around. You can move iTunes purchases from a device onto a computer, but no music obtained some other way.

i got the iphone 5, got some pics and msgs and contacts on it, and when i connected to my PC to restore my previous info from the old iphone, all the new stuff are gone, how can i get it back, thanks for help.
The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

How do I retrieve my purchased songs and playlists from my iTunes account? I have just had to replace my hard drive and have lost pretty much everything!
You can redownload your iTunes store purchases, but you'll need a backup to recover the playlists.

How Can I go Back to Leopad and sill keep all my data, e-mails etc.
Hi
I installed SL on Sept 3,2009. I'm a new Mac user so all I had was TM Backups which I still have. After SL install I have had lots of problems and a couple of days ago My system already failed and would not start. Called Apple, they said I had to re-install my OS. If that was the case I said I wanted to go back to Leopard, I was told use the leopard install disk and use disk utilities to locate the last Leopard TM backup and restore from that point and from there I was told I could recover all my Data, e-mails from Sept 3, 2009 the point of recovery at the time Sept 15/2009.
When I called back in after recoving to Sept 3/2009 for help in my data etc to Sept 15/2009 I was told I had been given bad advise, and that was not possible. So I have had to re-install SL and get back my data and e-mails etc to today. You can imagine how frustrating all this has been.
I'm now back on SL with all my Data, emails, etc but still experiencing many problems, and what I'm reading on this site makes me nervous that the worst is yet to come. My Tm seems to have double the amount of stuff and is a mixture of Leopard and SL backups. Is there a way of now going back to Leopard and then retrieving all my Data, form TM or from the other stuff I have saved? I have made copies of Mail, itunes, Documents, Safari, and I have all my pictures on my PC I have not added any since converting from my PC in early July. If I knew where they were I'd make a copy of them as well. I know there are a lot of smart Mac users out there so I'm hoping someone knows of a way of doing this, and can explain it it easy steps of a novice user. If there is someone from Apple out there reading this given the problems with SL I have had, and the bad advice on how to recover, some accurate, detailed instructions on how if possible I can get back to Leopard with all my data, it would sure be nice to hear from you.....
DaleI rolled back a system from OS X 10.6.0 to OS X 10.5.8 via the Archive & Install (non-preserve) and it was successful. Now it didn't have any 3rd party applications installed. It just had the default OS bundled applications, iLife '09 and iWork '09. So that could have assisted in my success, I'm unsure how successful the process would have been if there was a lot of 3rd party framework modification. Although most of that would have been wiped clean in the Archive & Install, thus negating the problem.
Personally, I'd be more inclined to have you copy the contents of your Home folder (minus the Library) onto an external HD and manually reimport after a clean install of Leopard. The problem with that, however, is you'll lose Safari bookmarks, iCal data and Address Book data. So for something like you'd need to manually dig through the appropriate Library folders.
Are you near a Genius Bar? It might be worth visiting them and asking them for some assistance. I know when I worked there I was always outwardly accommodating when the issue was caused by inappropriate information that led you in the wrong direction from the start. -
About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.
Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons
Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons in the left hand column, which show each page of the book. They are now all blank white icons instead of miniature images of the larger pages. Also have lost some images within the pages of text. Has anyone got a fix for this?
I've just started having this problem too. For a little while my page thumbnails were half there- only recent pages still had them. Now they're all gone.
All my images other than the ones I just added are also gone
They simply appear as grey boxes with an X and ? in the middle.
Not sure if this is related- but I recently moved my system from an external boot drive to the internal. All other apps seem to be working fine.
This is very disturbing because it would be tons of work to put all the images back. -

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?
That's easy.
2 methods:
1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive. -
About a week ago, I purchased a subscription to Adobe CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I can access Photoshop but this screen still comes up asking me for the license number or if I want to continue the trial. The same thing happens with Lightroom, only it makes me sign in and takes me to the tutorials. I cannot access the actual program. Help!!!
