Just lost everything after activation completed

After the 2.0 was finally! activated on my phone, all my info, messages, contacts is gone... Any suggestions?

I tried restoring and it only brought back pictures and music. No text messages or old notes. In addition when you select to restore it asks you if you want to back up the info from the current phone. I am assuming the answer is no, since currently my phone has no info. If you select that option, the restore function does not work. However, I do have a info backed up in itunes under options. Anyway I can retrieve that info?

Firfox 4 - can we not save TABS when closing?? I just lost everything!

I installed Firefox 4, had several TABs open before the upgrade. When Firefox 4 opened I had all the TABs. When I wanted to close Firefox there was no SAVE button, so I lost everything.
Did a system restore and now when I click the Firefox icon nothing happens...cannot open Firefox at all.
Thanks Mozilla....

One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences. ''Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users. The developes/employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.''
#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:
#*'''''browser.warnOnQuit'''''
#*'''''browser.warnOnRestart'''''
#*'''''browser.showQuitWarning'''''

Lost Everything after I downloaded iOS5

I just downloaded iOS5 on my iphone 4 and lost EVERYTHING!! I lost ALL my contacts, my apps, calendar, messages, pictures...EVERYTHING!!! I have tried to restore and everything I can think of dont know what to do. Someone help please! I had everything in my phone. I dont even know my doctors phone numbers or any appointments. I have NOTHING!!! how can I get back to before I updated?

If you contacts are limited to a group e-mail the following will restore to the all contact list:
Go to:
settings / mail, contacts, calanders /
Go into each mail account in to Contacts & make sure contacts option is OFF
by switching off the contacts in the mail accounts you original contacts list should be restored.

Lost everything after update!!!

heey, ive had my phone for about 10 months now and i decided to update it. i backed everything up on my PC and after it updated i had lost everything on my phone.
i found the backup finally but it wont let me open it.
I've re-added my contacts (most) and a fraction of my apps, but for some reason it doesnt have BLACKBERRY MAPS installed on it anymore.
i use it quite often as well, so any advice would be a great help.
Thanks before hand

You need to use Desktop Manager's restore feature and then use that backup file to restore to the device. What version of DM are you using?

Lost everything after update OS4

one day, i help my friend to update her iphone to OS4. but i lost everything in iphone after update, like apps, photos, ringtone, expect the contacts. what can i to recovery the data?

Had to restore and lost everything after latest update why?

I cant belive this, i know alot of people are saying well you must be a bit thick not to make a backup but i dont expect this sort of thing to happen, my first problem in 3-4 years, i have lost everything. truly gutted. thanks Apple.

Sorry, im annoyed and angry, i wanted the answer to what has caused this but like you said no one here would know on an Apple Support Community, "this has been reported since the very first iOS update". Apple hasnt adapted much then has it. i dont think i had to many valuable pictures, its more that i now have to **** about downloading like over 100 apps get peoples numbers again etc etc. dont remember anything like this with the good old nokia 3310, what happened to sims remembering my numbers??

Lost everything after synchronisation????!!!!!

Hi, can anyone help me out?
I've lost ALL purchased songs and apps on my iPhone after synchronising with iTunes.
Background:
- Windows got stuck and was unrecoverable
- Reinstalled Windows
- Reintstalled iTunes
- Synchronised iPhone with iTunes
- Lost ALL purchased songs and apps that were on the iPhone
How can I recover this? PLEASE HELP!!

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchased songs to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
You could try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

How to back up your media in iTunes
Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

I just lost everything for no visible reason. Help?

I have the latest iTunes version and always keep it updated. My computer has not crashed. It has not been improperly shut down. It is no different today than it was yesterday. I simply started it back up today, opened iTunes and discovered that everything is gone. All my music is still on my harddrive. When I go to Edit>Preferences, my library is still set to the same folder it was set to yesterday and yet iTunes has developed amnesia and needs all of it re-added. Why is this?
I'm particularly ****** about this because I spent WEEKS organizing my library in iTunes because I'm a stickler for that sort of thing. I have nearly 5,000 albums that I've ripped into digital format on this thing and I went through and rated them and organized artists according to countries/states/provinces/etc. I was completely stoked about this because I'm a music nerd.
Now all of that is completely gone for no visible reason whatsoever. I know I'm screwed and have to start over, but I want to know *** happened so starting over isn't a complete waste of time. If iTunes were a person, I'd break its jaw right about now. Twice.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!, How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!

I need help I have lost all my music that was in my iphone after I sync my phone with itunes Library now I want to know how can I get it back.
Thank you

Trying to get some more info: You had music on your phone and on your computer before this- correct? Are you syncing to the same computer with the same Apple ID that you did before? Does iTunes still show your music - but not your phone? Is this the situation or something different.
More info will help us help you.

LOST EVERYTHING AFTER 2.0 UPDATE

Fellow iPhoners
Recently I upgraded to the 2.0 update which went through smoothly, it restored my iphone with my up to date contacts and other information. I got the apps. store and downloaded a couple apps. and everthing was fine. Well the next day I noticed that none of my music or videos had synced to my phone so I jumped back on and proceeded to sync my media. Well after the sync it down graded my contact list and all information from back in October.
(note: I called apple and the guy pretty much didn't help me and said the information is gone.)
thanks,
John

Unless you have a backup machine, you have probably lost it. Very unfortunate, yes.

Exchange 08 Lost contacts after activated user on new machine?

Motherboard (Windows XP Pro/Outlook07) of a user died and we moved that user on to a new machine (windows 7Pro/Outlook13)
The users emails and personal folders all populated but for some reason the contacts didn't populate. The only contacts that seem to come over were the ones from the users iPhone. Seems like somehow the contacts got hijacked by the iphone. I know if you
install the icloud plugin for outlook that is common but this user doesn't have admin rights to perform software installations.
I still have the old hard drive if they were somehow stored locally.

Hi,
From your description, after moved a user to another PC machine, part of Outlook clients are lost. Only contacts added by mobile device remains. If I misunderstood, please point it out.
What’s the version of your Exchange organization?
Have you checked contact in OWA and see if all contacts are there?
If the user moved or archived Contacts item to one or more .pst files, please reconnect them to new installation of Outlook.
Personal Folders files are stored in the following locations:
Microsoft Windows XP drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Lost Everything after transfer/update

I cant find any of my recently bought apps/songs after recently updating my ipod to a new computer after the old one crashed. When transfering there was a button that asked about transfering music and losing purcahes. I didnt read it carefully and clicked continue. Now everything is gone and I cant seem to find purchases anyway. I was wondering if there is anyway to get this stuff back?

Redownload your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I think I just lost everything...

I accidentally unplugged my external harddrive while i was working on a project. I immediately plugged it back in and the project seemed to be ok. I closed the project and re-opened it and was met with this message:
The file "__" can not be found {or something like that} and I could click OK or ignore all. There were many.
Now my project is blank, and everything I had done lies in the trash. Is there any way to bring it back the way it was? I had been working on it and saving it just fine.

David is referring to the backup file iMovie stores inside the project. Here a description of how you can (hopefully) recover the project:
