Iphone apps, photos, and contacts gone. Can I get them back or do I have to add apps back?
I update my Iphone 4 today and it seemed to update fine until I looked on my phone and noticed not all of my apps were there and my contacts are from back in May. Nothing else such as pictures moved either. Is there some way to get this stuff back or Do I have to download apps again and be charged?
I also tried to do the restore but the last date was in May?
Thanks,
Natalie
Hi megamike1969,
I've been losing some apps also in the Dock. As Niel said I think is that you may be able to just drag them back to the Dock, if you can find them.
What I do is open Launchpad and while you're in there, drag the application to the Dock. If you can't locate the apps, then disregard this post.

IOS 5 Cleared My Apps/Photos/Videos - WHY? Can I get them back?
I backed up my iPhone before updating to iOS 5. After installing iOS 5 and restoring the phone, my apps, photos, and videos are all gone.
No other iPhone updates have this this, why did iOS 5?
Can I get them back?
Thank youI just encountered a similar problem, but just as frustrating.
Yesterday I updated my iPhone 4 to OS5, and as it finished restoring, there was a message prompting an 'unknown error occured'. I found that all of the original data was present though, apart from the fact that all of the apps I ever had were now on my phone, randomly arranged. I decided to deal with it later today.
Meanwhile, today I took a couple of hundred pictures. So tonight, as I wanted to sync them to iPhoto, iTunes prompted me to continue restoring first, as it found the process wasn't complete yet. Unknowingly, and given the fact that I've been through this process more than once, I opted for the restore to be completed, only to find my apps nicely arranged, and all data from the last day erased. This is highly frustrating.
For the sake of completeness: I tried resetting, never interrupted the process nor disconnected my iPhone.
If anyone knows a remedy, I'd be most thankful. -
i plugged my iphone into my desktop mac to put my itunes music on and now all my contacts and photos are gone can i get them back?
You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

What instructions?

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer. -
Just completed an update and lost all my phone contacts. Can I get them back?
Just completed an update to my 3G Iphone. Lost all my contacts. Can I get them back, please???
Contacts are not a part of backup (only favourites and recent calls list are backed up). Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Addressbook etc) or with a cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Google).
Sync them back from the programme you were using for backing up your contacts.
If you have not been backing up your contacts to either of these programmes, then they are gone. -
I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back
Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it. -

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now

I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?
I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?
Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.

HI guys
I need help.
I load the new iOS5 and I made an Backup and I load it too,but all my Photos are lost HOw can I get them Back ???
thx for help !!!!!Which photos? If the missing photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. Synced photos are not in the backup that iTunes makes.

I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?
Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.
