Itunes wiped everthing from my iphone, how do I get it back?

I sync'ed my iphone to my computer & itunes account for the first time. It asked me for my apple ID password & then bagan to reset my phone. I lost all my contact, photos & music etc I bought from itunes. How do I get them back?

Have you synced another iPhone or iOS device with iTunes on this computer?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone you will be prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone - which means not transferring the backup for the other iPhone. After the backup is transferred this is followed by a sync with the sync preferences for the other iPhone used for syncing the new iPhone. If a backup is not transferred, you must manually make your selections under the various tabs for the new iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs - everything must be selected manually.
Sounds like you did the former and when doing so, all data on the iPhone is erased and replaced with what is included with the backup that is transferred followed by a sync. This is not automatic - you must select this option and iTunes did what you selected.
Since a backup for the new iPhone is not created in this situation - when transferring the backup for another iPhone or iOS device the first time a new iPhone is connected, the data that was on the new iPhone is lost.

    I I purchased, then deleted a book from my iphone, how do I get it back? When I click on Purchased, it tells me I have no downloads

    If it's an ibook and it's still in the store then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. If it's an audiobook then they are currently a one-time only download - if you haven't got a copy of it on your computer or on a backup for re-syncing then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I ACCIDENTLY REMOVED FACE TIME FROM MY IPHONE, HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

    It is not possible to have removed FaceTime from your phone. FaceTime is not an app on the phone. First, make sure that it's enabled in Settings>FaceTime>On. Then, to make a FaceTime call, go to a contact and tap the "FaceTime" button.
    Make sure that FaceTime is not turned off in Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • I accidently deleted my ipod app from my iphone - how do I get it back?

    I somehow deleted the ipod app from my iphone - how do I get it back.

    You cannot delete it. 
    Since ios 5, it is called "Music".
    If you do not see it, then it is likely on anohter page or in a folder.  Check.
    You can reset the homescreen layout if you do not find it.
    All of this is covered in the manual.

    1. Use Spotlight to search on iPhone.

  • I accidentally erased a text message from my iPhone, how can I get it back

    I Accidentally erased a text message from my iPhone 5; can I get it back

    If you backed that message up before you deleted it you can Restore from your backup. If not it is gone, but if you just need some information from it you might try a spotlight search for a keyword in the text.

  • The Camera app is suddenly missing from my iPhone, how do I get it back?

    My camera app is suddenly missing from my phone.. how do I get it back or find it? it's not in any 'folders' -- Same with my Safari app--  Not sure if my 2 yr old deleted it? I didn't think those were deletable apps.

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • HT1349 iphone weather app disappeared from my iphone, how do i get it back?

    The iPhone weather app on my Verizon iPhone disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Okay, I figured it out.  When people in this community say the app is possibly in another folder that means that your apps/icons can actually be put inside of another app/icon.  My weather app went inside of my one of my other apps/icons and it was not visible as two apps/icons - it shows up looking like one black icon and if you look inside of it there are two apps inside of it. 
    Good luck with your disappearing apps/icons! I was so sad and almost did a reset.  I am glad I didn't go through with it.

  • TS1702 My purchased Draw Something App has disappeared from my iPhone, how do I get it back and will I have lost my points and current game?

    I have been using my draw something app for about a year and a half and suddenly it has disappeared from my iPhone.  What do i do now? I had loads of points and was up to about 30 on my latest game so if I download the app again will I go back to the start.

    Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
    Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?

  • The last iTunes wiped out my audiobooks.  How do I get them back in my library without having to import them again?

    I just went to iTunes and realized that my audiobooks have been wiped out.  I just did an update for iTunes.  The audiobooks were the last time I went to look at them, but now they are gone.  I could use some help.

    I am happy to say that I finally figured out how to get my calendar back: I dug deep into the bowels of the phone, and discovered that syncing had been changed from "all events" to "one month." I changed it back, and - presto! - my life returned.
    I am sorry to say that I didn't get any help from anyone at Apple or on this forum. I don't understand why the Appleistas feel free to change these things without warning us, and without telling us how to fix them. I like this phone, but because of the company's institutional arrogance, I strongly doubt that I will ever purchase another Apple product.

  • HT1848 recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library.  Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC.  How do I get it back?

    recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library.  Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC.  How do I get it back?

    I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.
