I just updated my ipod to iO5 and lost almost everything

Yes i just updated my ipod to iO5 and i regret it. all of my photos were lost as well as the data that was saved in my apps. i still have my music and apps, but no data in the apps. i kinda did the latest backup thing but it didnt work. im freaking out, please help!! apple better fix this, all of my memories were lost D=

Did you fail to import your pics before updating? That is not good. you should be importing all pics taken with ipod regularly as you would with any digital camera, especially before any update.

I restored my i p hone and lost everything, how do i get it back?, HELP

Hi All,
I am really frustrated, last night my phone decied to turn itself off and on again and when i looked at my messages they had all disappeared. :-(
So i took someones advice this morning and clicked restore, i was told this would restore all the stuff from my last back up which was two weeks ago, so great i thought this would work. But instead it backed up from today and restored from the back up today not the back up two weeks ago so now i have lost all my pictures and my phone has gone back to a new user phone. So all the settings have been restored the whole lot. I am very upset about this and I wandered if anybody knew how i would get all my things back
Please help and comments greatly appreciated
Thank You
Sarah

A simple answer to your question is "No".
For the future, make sure that "automatic sync" is un-checked in your iTunes and next time you want to restore from a backup, right click on your phone's name and select "restore from backup" before syncing your phone to iTunes.

Updated to 10.4.10 and lost everything...

Hi-
Just updated to 10.4.10. Restarted my computer and everything is gone. All of my documents, all of my emails, application preferences, photos, etc. Opening Mail, Safari, iPhoto, etc. brings up the setup assistant dialog boxes, as if it's the first time I'm using any of the applications.
The computer seems to otherwise be functioning fine. There's no other sign of hard drive failure.
M
My 250 GB hard drive shows an available space of 44 GB (same as it was before this happened), so I'm assuming all of my documents are somewhere on the machine.
Thanks....
Has this happened to anyone before and any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi James: Before you did the 10.4.10 update and subsequent restart, did you by chance change the short name of your computer? If so, check here for info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854

I updated my to ios 5 and lost everything!

I updated my ipod and I literally lost everything. I restored my ipod to when it was last update and I only got my apps back. I didn't get any music back and I don't know how to. HELP!

Music is not part of the backup that iTunes makes for your iPod. Same goes for other synced items including photos from your PC, podcasts, and movies/videos. If the music is no longer in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, you'll either need to redownload these tracks again from iTunes via iCloud or rerip them from their original source.

The extension Firefox for Norton Toolbar 2011.7.2.3 was just updated to be compatible with Firefox 7.0.1, and it now warns me not to log on to my Facebook account, that it's a fraudulent website, even though it's the same web-site I've always used to log on to Facebook.
Can you help me with this issue?

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

My computer crashed and lost everything How do I get all the data off my Iphone to a new computer?

I lost everything on my computer. My iphone 4 has all the things i need on it when i try to sync it itunes tells me it is going to clear the phone I have already atherized the new computer.

You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
the ipod is not a storage device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchaes.
The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

Updated my phone and lost everything how do I get it back?

How do I recover my contacts, songs etc.

All of your data should be backed up in your iTunes library. So just plug in your phone and sync and all the data should go right into the phone again.

I updated my ios to 5.1, lost everything, was able to sync to iCloud but my ringtones havent gone onto my phone, they are ones i have made with an app and then saved to itunes. The ringtones show up in the "ringtones" tab but they arent syncing to my phon

Try unchecking Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes Sync settings, sync your phone, then recheck Sync Tones and sync your phone again.

HT1349 my windows vista crashed and lost everything, how do I rebuild my library?

I have windows vista and system crashed, loosing Itune account...system now rebuilt...how can I get my itune library back? I do have a an Ipod touch and nano set up with library but afraid if I hook up to pc it may erase what I have?

The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
This will not reconstruct your library as it was. It just puts the media back. You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc. If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.
