ICloud seemed to have lost some old back up-went from a iPhone4 to a 3GS (temporary) back to a iPhone4

Hi guys
Hope someone can help me here- I broke my iPhone4 at Xmas and found as it was out of warranty I had to buy a replacement for £119
-fair enough!
So whilst not being able to afford this being January the worst month for self employment I borrowed a mates old 3GS and when I did a backup it had all my contacts (good!) but no music, apps, photos, ringtones etc. if I wanted an app or music album that I already own I can download for free- a bit annoying I know.. But my main concern was the photos and even previous text conversations which I didn't buy but I would want back. I PUT THIS DOWN TO IT BEING A DOWNGRADE TO A 3GS AND HOPED WHEN I BUY MY NEW iPhone4 THIS WOULD BE SORTED?????
So today I buy my new iPhone and restore from iCloud and I had the option of restoring from December before I broke my old iPhone4 or my backup which I did today before I switched back from the 3GS- obviously I chose the newest one so to not lose 2months of data... However this has completely the same as what I had this morning on the 3GS excluding all my old photos, texts,music etc.
Hope someone can help and sorry if I've babbelled on a bit here but I've found it hard to explain and could not find an existing thread.
Many thanks- dan

Does the library open and there are no photos in it? If so, iPhoto may have just created a new library after encountering a problem with the original one. You can check by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto. If there is more than one library, check each one for the missing images. (You may also want to check the Pictures folder and the trash for any other libraries)
If you are sure the library that you are opening is the original and should contain the photos, check the file size of the library. If it's in the GBs than chances are rebuilding the library will recover them (Hold command and option while opening iPhoto, then select the option from the menu)

I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
2 - Click "Network"
3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

TS3988 Seem to have lost some emails on my iPad after iOS 6 update, how can I retrieve/ find them?

Lost some emails on iPad after iOS update!help!

If the missing email is no longer on your email provider's server, there is no way to recover them. If this is an iCloud email address, you can check your mail on icloud.com from your computer to confirm whether the lost email is there or not.

The screen of my IMac 27" seems to have lost some brightness from the bottom left corner ?

Anyone experimented this kind of problem ?

No, this is a sign of the screen defects. The screen will flicker, sometimes looks just fine, other times a dark area appears in the lower left quadrant. It may come and go. Having been through this myself I'm a bit familiar with the issue. There have been temporary fixes. But they all require disassembly. Doing so on your own voids any warranty. If you take it to an Apple shop for any future repairs, once they see you've been inside they will refuse to service the computer. This is not a problem resulting from loose screws. If you try to fix the problem yourself, then you are the one with the loose screws. I went down that path, and what was an expensive repair I tried to avoid became an even more expensive repair after Apple refused me service. And, that was when they still had a screen replacement program in place. Don't become a member of my club.

Have changed to a new iphone set but seems to have lost my applications I had purchased from applestores in my previous iphone. Can I recover them?

Can I recover my applestore apps I had in my previous iphone? I can't find them in my new iphone although I have synced.

Do the apps appear in iTunes? If so, make sure Sync Apps is checked and the apps you want are checked. If the apps aren't in iTunes, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same iTunes account you used to originally purchase them. When selecting to download them, it will seem like you will be required to pay for them again, but you should then get a message that they are free since you already purchased them.

Lost some catalogs when I went from LR3 Beta to Full. Pls hlp!

Hi! I finally hunkered down and purchased LR3. I've been working off the last beta since its release, and I was curious if theres a way to import all my files so I dont lose any of the changes I've made to the files? I have yet to install LR3 full, was waiting til I got an answer. Thanks!
edit
Damnit Im pissed! I just went ahead and impulsively installed LR3 and my files were not carried over from the beta. To add insult to injury, it appears the beta magically "disappeared", so I cant finish editing my almost-completed shots even in the beta! WTF!? BTW if it matters, Im on win7 64bit

LR 3 final release will not overwrite the Beta it will install in its own folder.
You need to supply some more info about what you have done so far.

I have lost some of my contacts

I backed up my phone to iCloud but I have lost some of my contacts

Maybe you stored them on the e-mail account, check changing the filter of the contacts on the phone and checking where are they saving
Go to Contacts and then groups, to see where are they located

I recently updated to the latest Mac OS, and have lost the capacity to create PDFs from my HP scanner. Any suggestions?

I recently updated to the latest Mac OS, and in the process I seem to have lost the capacity to create PDFs from my HP scanner.
With each prior OS, I could scan and immediately save any scanned file in PDF format. Now it is not allowed, and creates a file
that has nothing but noise, even though the scan software seems to show that each scan is captured correctly (in the scan window,
before I ask it to save the file). When trying to save to PDF, I get a message that tells me that this is a read-only file, which I don't
quite understand, since the same scanning / saving process always created a PDF in the past.
iMac 27 inch----HP Officejet 7310
Any suggestions?

Thanks very much for the response. I checked for new HP software, and learned there is no new version. I also noted when reading about the new OS 10.9 that all driver software is now part of the MAC OS and no longer supplied by the vendor of the printer / scanner. I suspected this is where the trouble is located.....but I did not know how to ascertain what could be done to restore my PDF creation capabilities. The next message below yours had the solution, so all is well now. Now you know as well-----Many thanks again for taking the time to respond!!

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

downgrading is not supported by Apple and doing so has the potential to brick your device. so, you can't. if you have feed back for the new iOS you can provide that here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

Hey ashvinee,
Sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your contacts. We have a few articles that could resolve your issue.
I would start here:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
Recovering iCloud or MobileMe data from iTunes backups for an iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4108
This second article applies to you if:
You want to recover your Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks from an iTunes iOS device backup made while using iCloud or MobileMe to update your Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks on your iOS device.
You have created backups in iTunes, and you do not have or are unable to restore from an iCloud Backup. Learn more about how to restore from an iCloud Backup.
You have lost data from the web, your iOS device, and all other synchronized clients, and you have no other usable backups to recover from.
Cheers,
David
