Iphone software update deleted my playlists on the phone and itunes

When i installed the latest update to the iphone 3gs all of my playlists were wiped out. is there way to recover them? when i synched my phone with itunes it deleted the playlists there as well. i do have an ipod with the playlists still in tact.

I had a very similar issue. Bought the 3G and tried to sync it with my Outlook (2002) and it deleted about 3 dozen calendar events. It seemed to be specifically recurring events, and I think they all had reminders. Not sure though - recreated them all, so let's see what happens.

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

    If the on/off button at the top of my iphone stopped working, how can i shutdown the phone and rebot?

    Use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > Device > Lock Screen. To turn OFF, hold down on the lock screen until slide to power off appears. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB port of computer.

  • I have plugged my iphone into my mac computer to restore the phone and it restored then went to the start menu as a new phone does then asked if i wanted to resync from uploaded data from a previous save, then i pressed resync. and now it doesnt work.

    I have had this problem before but apple didnt know how to fix the problem so they replaced the phone.
    I plugged my Iphone into the computer and went into Itunes and restored the phone because it wasnt working properly. it saved my data and then when it turned itself back on after the restore it was at the main menu when u get a new phone and have to set it up, so i went along and did the normal selections as i did when setting up the phone and when it got to where you choose to set up as a new iphone or restore from previous date with data i chose the restore option, it then said i had no service and the sim card was not compatable for the phone, i turned the phone off and it still says the same thing, im not sure what to do and im very annoyed with how it has happened a second time and ive only had the new phone for about three to four weeks now if that.
    what do i do?

    I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

  • HT4623 My ipod does not have a "software update". I have reset the ipod and now can't download anything to it.

    I have reset my ipod and cleared all the info on it. Now I am unable to download any apps. It says I need to update the software but I don't seem to have that capability. What do I do?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • My software update no longer connects to the server and i have know idea why 10.5.8 please help

    My software update say's it cannot connect to the server ...why what has happened ?now i can't upgrade it's really frustrating.

    Is this an ongoing problem or did it just happen one time?  If one time, there may have just been a problem on the Apple end, and you should try again at a later time.  I just tried it and it worked.

  • Software update deleted close to EVRYTHING from phone?

    I installed the recent update on Sunday, and when my phone rebooted i noticed my lock screen was different. Upon unlocking my phone i saw that all of my screens were blank - no clock, no widgets, no apps...nothing. I immediately go to my messages inbox and see the same...nothing. Close to panic mode, i check my contacts...nothing. I ran the backup assistant to retrieve contacts, but even then not all came through for me. I had several VERY important "locked" messages that were also deleted and cannot be restored. Even my saved voicemails are gone. The even stranger part is that the majority of my downloaded aps. survived, but have been acting funny ever since. All of my settings are gone too, and I am having to start at square one for just about everything!
    I know that this info is gone and never coming back, but what caused this to happen? Im fearful of relying on my phone to do what it is SUPPOSED to do in case this happens again. Several hours have been wasted already trying to gather the info needed from my messages & voicemails from people, i can not afford to keep a phone that doesnt work the way it was promised and the reason why i purchased in the first place, nor can i sit around crossing my fingers that this doesnt happen again. Any ideas or input to how this happened and how I can prevent it from happening again?

    I also recently lost ALL my contacts and ALL of my messages!!!  I have ran back up assistant numerous time and it downloaded only half of the T's, V's, W's and Z contacts I had.  I go to the Backup Assistant website and it show I have 329 contacts and that they all have been synced to my phone.  I spent 25 minutes on the phone with Tech support only for him to put me on hold ALOT and tell me he has no idea what to do to fix it!!!  I am so frustrated!!!!!!  Any and ALL help will be tried and appreciated!!!  Soon.......

  • Software updates are downloaded both in the cache and softwaredistribution folder

    Hello,
    For the server patching, we have created Software Update groups who are deployed on collections.
    These deployments are made 'available' and not required.
    My question is this one when I am logged on the server, I choose an update to install, the update is being downloaded to the CCMCACHE folder
    and to the \windows\softwaredistribution folder.
    Is this the normal behaviour ?
    Why is the update also downloaded in softwaredistribution ?
    I have checked the ContentTransferManager.log and the update has been downloaded from a distribution point, not from the internet.
    Is there anything that is not correctly configured ?
    I have attached a screenshot showing the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Marc

    Thank you for your answer.
    It's a pity that the cmcache is not used to install the updates, it's a waste of space (we still have very old servers with limited space). But ok, we will used a script to clean the folder from time to time.
    I took a better look at the windowsupdate.log and the update is really installed from the softwaredistribution folder.
    Thanks
    Marc.

  • Syncing deleted my calendar on the phone AND outlook

    help!!!!!!! I am about to throw this phone off the roof. I was having major calendar syncing issues so I found a post that told me to delete everything from outlook and re-download itunes and sunc again. somehow it created another calendar in outlook with the info, which i deleted. I then tried to sync again with the intent of the info going from my iphone to my outlook (I made SURE it was not vise versa). This **** software wiped out BOTH calendars. Help. Without my calendar, I may as well submit my letter of resignation tomorrow!!!

    I had a very similar issue. Bought the 3G and tried to sync it with my Outlook (2002) and it deleted about 3 dozen calendar events. It seemed to be specifically recurring events, and I think they all had reminders. Not sure though - recreated them all, so let's see what happens.

  • My iTunes is having issues contacting the iPhone software update server. Help?

    I click Check for Update in iTunes and it gives me an error saying, "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." and then tells me to make sure my network settings are correct and my connection is active. But I can still get on internet with my computer.

    That error indicates that something is blocking your computer's communication with the update server. Remove your third-party security software and disable your firewall, then try again. As long as your phone isn't jail broken, which would also block the connection to the update server, it should work just fine after that
