In syncing my itunes to my iphone, the process deleted my contacts and text messages as well as pictures. Any way to retrieve them?
In the process of syncing my itunes library to my iphone, my contacts, text messages and pictures were deleted. Any way to retrieve them?
Problem solved unchecked back up to icloud and backed up to my computer, which then allowed me to untick the songs that were physically on my iphone (when iphone connected to computer) that I didn't want. Synced again and voila!!! Only files I want are now on my iphone . This has been bugging me for weeks, determination certainly paid off. Sometimes I think having problems is a good thing, you learn heaps trying to solve an issue

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either
To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

I recently updated my iPhone. My update went great, but after updating my wifes, all her pictures and videos were missing. Is there a way to retrieve them?
Was a backup done prior to the update? If so, restore the backup.
As designed, the Camera Roll on the iPhone is temporary storage. Copy the pictures/videos off to the computer the device normally syncs with then sync the desired pics/vids back to the device via iTunes. -
A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distressIf she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up. -
I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update.
If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. -
My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.
Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone. You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
How in the world would you expect to get data back? -
HELP! I bought a new Mac (my first) and used my nano as an external hard drive to transfer my itunes library from my old PC to the new Mac, then re-synced the nano. However, something happened when I transferred because it duplicated every song. So I went through the entire library (about 1400 songs X 2) and deleted the duplicates, then emptied the trash. Then when I tried to listen to the music, I found that about half of the songs cannot be located! I have my entire library still on my ipod ouch - is there any way to transfer them??!! Somebody help me please!!!
check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
edit: and start backing up !! you might want to bookmark this article for future reference: The Complete Guide to Backing Up your iTunes Library -
9 of my playlists got deleated at the same time! I don't suppose their is any way to get them back??
If these deleted playlists are no longer on your iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to recreate them to the best of your ability. Sorry.

I recently lost all of my files do to a hard drive crash. The backup service (which I will never use again) didn't back all of my photos up, but I had them on my phone. I hooked the phone up and it automatically went into some sort of synch mode, but instead of putting the photos onto iTunes, it deleted all of the photos from my phone! Now they are synched with the smaller set, and I've lost precious photos! I'm so upset!! Is there anything I can do or is it lost.
I have some on my iTunes but I'm afraid to synch and loose those as well. can someone help me?
I'm on iPhone 4
iTunes 10.7
thank youQuit the photos app

Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my contact, pictures, and texts. I was running the new update of iTunes and i still recieved an error of (-50). Can anyone help with how i can get all my stuff back? Also i just had updated my phone in October and it said the last time i updated 5/18/11 which is not true i am using a PC.
I had the same problem and managed to get all my old contacts back. It was because I synced my contacts toiCloud on the initial setup, but nothing was in there. If you go to settings-iCloud- and turn off contacts, your old contacts should appear!

Block sync of mobile contacts and text messages.
Is there any possibility to block the phones connected to the Exchange from syncing text messages and contacts?
I can't find an option or a PS command for it. Maybe i'm not looking hard enough.You can limit the textmessages by using an exchange policy
Create a new ActiveSyncMailBox policy to dissallow textmessages
New-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -Name 'BlockSMS' -AllowTextMessaging $False
However if you're looking a limiting the devices to sync SMS and contacts you'll need additional software.
I recommend you to look at PointSharp MobileGate that will enable you to do this and more.
It also has the advantage that the policy is enforced by a gateway instead of trusting the device to use the policy.
