Is there anyway to restore my iMessage history on my new phone from my iMessage on my iMac?
So like i got a new phone today and I forgot to back it up. Luckily I use the imessage app on my iMac. Is there anyway to resotre all of my messages from the iMessage app on my computer?
I've also just found after deleting the app and making room for other content for my daughter, that it is not possible to restore it.
I've contacted Apple support, but all they have said is:
I do certainly understand your situation. However, I am sorry to inform you that the purchases are too old for us to reverse the charges. Our ability to reverse the charges diminishes with time period. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I request you to contact the developer to see if they can retrieve that content that was lost. You can contact them in the link given below:

Thank you for your understanding and patience. Apple appreciates your business.
The link just says the app is unavailable. And I'm sure they do appreciate my business with $100 of lessons purchased and now gone. The Terms say that once purchased it is the consumer's responsibility to take a backup - I had my back up set to 'iCloud', but it seems that this wasn't 'enough'.
This is surely just plain common sense wrong and poor service from such a global company? I recognise that App developers come and go, but Apple could at least hold the product available for re-download for previous purchases.

Help is here! Simply go to Tools, Select Content Restore and then you'll choose what to download to your new phone. Lastly hit restore.. Now you should be all set.

Please, someone help me, i had some very important photos to keep and they were mistakenly eraised from iCloud. I need to restore!
It happaned on July 10th of 2012 around 11:50hr.Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean they were erased from iCloud, do you mean from photo stream. Photo stream only keeps photos that are added to it from your camera roll, are your photos not still on your camera roll. -
I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.
Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I have an iphone 4 and iphone 5 and i have set up the 5 with a backup from the icloud. But i didn't disconnect the old phone (iphone 4) form the icloud and deleted some contacts which also deleted them from the 5. I have restored them from a previous back up but after i did that i deleted the iphone 4 from the icloud which also deleted the conatcts from the 5 again as i didnt back up. Is there anyway of restoring the conatcts now?
If you still have the same back up you can restore from back up again. Unfortunately you will have to do something fast and unusual in the process of restore. As soon as you have access to your phone - you need to go to settings - icloud and turn off your contacts sync. You need to do that fast enough so your icloud will not have time to sync "0" contacts back to the phone. That way when your restore is completed you get your contacts. You will have less then 1 minute to complete what I told you. If the contacts are gone anyway, either you were not fast enough, or your back up was overwritten already.

If your with AT&T you can hit the phone app - voicemail - deleted message - check there to see if your message is still there.
If your not with AT&T try calling your carrier. -

Is there anyway to restore all photos, apps, etc onto an iPad using the most recent iCloud back up from an iPhone? I did a backup on my iPhone today but when I restored my iPad using that backup, only the photos in the photostream transferred to the iPad?
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her. -
Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?
If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud. -
Is there anyway to restore my ipod without erasing everything in my itunes?
Is there anyway to restore my ipod and not erase everything in my itunes?
"Everything in your iTunes" is on your computer (or should be). So a restore will delete the content of the iPod and then the next Sync will put back the contents of your iTunes Library onto your iPod.
iTunes on your iPod is the iTunes Store.
So a restore will not delete everything in your iTunes, is simply deletes the content on your iPod (which is not the same thing).
If you have music on your iPod that is not in your iTunes Library, you will lose it unless you transfer it to your computer or back it up first. -
