ICloud saved my daughter's Pages documents and replaced all of my documents with hers. My documents are not on iCloud, how do I get them back?

My daughter saved her Pages documents to my iCloud account on her iPhone while my documents were apparently saved only to my phone. Never had a problem with that until tonight when iCloud synched so now I have all of my daughter's homework but all of my paperwork is gone! I logged into iCloud and it is only her documents there. How do I get my Pages documents back without a backup?
iphone 4s, version 6.1.3

If you took the picture on your iPhone, they are still there on your iPhone, unless you specifically deleted a particular picture from your iPhone. And likewise, if the picture was taken on your iPad, it is still there on your iPad, unless you specifically deleted that picture from the iPad.
Now ... if you're counting on pictures still "being there" from being on the Photostream ... don't count on that, because that's only a temporary place and it has a time limit and a count limit for how many picture it will have. While the pictures you took on your iPhone and iPad will remain on each one respectively (so you won't lose those), it won't necessarily remain on the Photostream part ... which is only for sharing anyway ... and not meant for storage.
Whatever pictures you had on your Camera Roll and thus is in the backup in iCloud, will still be there.

My Finder menu, HD, and dock all disappeared after I mistakenly downloaded a bogus version of Firefox. How do I get them back?

I think I may have gotten some sort of virus after downloading a "bogus" Free version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox immediately, because I noticed my Macbook was acting strangely, but the next time I turned it on, my HD, Finder menu, and dock were all gone! Basically there is now an empty, blue screen. I have booted in safe mode and deleted preferences, but nothing is working.

This probably is the mistake you made. Many sites that offer application downloads also include adware as an unrequested 'bonus'. Try AdwareMedic and it should take care of the unwanted ad popups:

If no success, the use the Apple support procedure, which is a lot more complicated:

The lesson is, always download from the developers web site or from the APP store. That way no unwanted items will not be included.

I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

After installing iCloud on my phone and ipad all of my notes dissapeared. How can I get them back?

After installing iCloud on my iPhone all my notes disappeared. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Hello.
I found my playlists. They were never removed. It appears that iTunes 11 shows them in a different place. Which is kind of annoying. Even more annoying trying to add purchased songs to the playlists on your iPod.
- Click on the iPod button on the top right of your screen (beside the iTunes Store button)
- Click Playlists along the middle of the top of the iTunes window
There are the playlists from your iPod
Kind of frustrating to add the songs, but the way I did it is:
- Click on the song you want to add to your iPod playlist from your iTunes library
- Click the arrow beside the song and select "Add to Up Next"
- Go to your iPod playlists as per the above instructions
- Click on the list icon in the same bar as the Apple icon on the top of the window (it is to the right of the apple icon)
- Now drag that song to the playlist(s) on your iPod
I am sure there is a much simpiler way....I just dont have time to figure it out right now. If anyone has any simpiler way of doing this, please reply!!

When I update my iPad and had to restore setting I lost any of the apps I had purchased, how do i get them back

When I upgrade my system for iPad 2 and set iTunes account, I was told I had to restore settings, after this was completed i noticed apps that I had purchased were gone. How do I get them back?

You can download apps again for free from the app store via the purchased tab at the bottom of the screen in the app store app. You must use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.
Are the apps still in iTunes on your computer? If they are - sync them back onto the iPad.

I updated to iOS8 and my notes disappeared. How can I get them back?

I Had previously had my phone synced to my old computer (2011 mbp). This macbook pro is new and I was waiting for iOS8 so I could update everything at once. Once ot was all done and upgraded, i checked and my promary notes, the ones stnced with my gmail account, were completely gone! How can I get these notes back? They Re very important.
THanks.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

I had to replace my iPhone so when I got my new o e and retorted it not all my data transferred, I am still missing my audio books. How do I get them back?

I have tried restoring purchases and looking to download it from the iCloud and iTunes but I can't find my audiobooks.

Hi there,
If you backed up to iCloud, you may want to review the article below.
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Podcasts and audio books
Photos that were originally synced from your computer
Hope that helps,

I just updated my Iphone and now I've lost all my notes!! How do I get them back?

I just updated my iphone 4s and now all my notes are gone!! I've been on the phone w/apple for about 2 hours and they are useless!! I've been trying to restore my phone to get the old notes back but to no avail.
Please help!

I lost my contacts too after upgrading. The numbers remained under recent calls and messages, but there was nothing in my contacts list. If you synced to the iCloud, you can retrieve your contacts by turning off syncing contacts to the cloud… save the (nonexistent) contacts on the phone. Then turn syncing to the cloud back on. It worked for me… they all returned and repopulated the names to the messages and recent calls.

I recovered my laptop recently and reinstalled iTunes. Now the TV programs I had purchased are no longer visible and it is saying I need to buy them again.
How can I get my programs back without having to pay for them again?

I have recently upgraded to iPhone 5 from an iPhone 4. The 4 has been given to a family member and the contacts were deleted. Now they're missing on both phones. How do I get them back?

As the title says. I've lost all of my contacts, from both phones and icloud.

That's the way things are supposed to work...all devices using the same iCloud account are kept in sync. You delete on one device, & it deletes on all, including iCloud. Unless you have a backup that contains your contacts, or they are in a supported application on your computer, they are gone.
You should have deleted the iCloud account, on the iPhone 4, before giving the phone away.

Hi, I just bought a new iphone 5c. I 'had' the safari, app store and itunes available, they dissappeared from the phone and now i cannot download any cool games or even browse the internet. How can I get them back?

I would really like to download apps however this isn't possible as safari, app store and itunes are deleted from my homescreen? Where can I go about installing them to the phone again a.s.a.p??

Check Settings > General > Restrictions on Safari, iTunes, etc.

My toolbar where the url is and the bar with the file, edit, and veiw are both gone. How do I get them back?

MY sisters or some one messed with the toolbars and now they are both gone I can't get into anything to change it to show them. I can't see the file, edit or veiw buttons or the tool bar with the url and back button.

Elly, try holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys while you type \ which should bring you back the Tool Bar (the bit with the Back/Forward buttons URL field and search fields).
Once you've got that, click on the Action Menu (the wee coggy thing to the far right) to see a list of Show/Hide commands for your other Bars (including the Menu Bar):

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free, and if you are in a country where you can re-download music then you should be able to re-download them as well : what you can re-download for free will appear under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes

Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.
