Lost all photos, contacts, calendar, etc. after ios 6.1 update on iphone 3. Help! How do I get my stuff back?
I was updating in order to get iCloud and Bump so I could transfer my data to my new iphone 5. My old phone was acting like it was a new phone and wanting me to set it up. I had to update itunes on my pc also. My data is not there either. I pulled up icloud, not there! I had a lot of pictures, notes, and contacts that I need. Can I restore them???
Did you fail to sync contacts/calendars with your computer regularly?
Did you fail ot import your pics?
If so, then they are very likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.

I lost all my downloads
On your iTunes, Sign-in, Authorize the computer.
Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free -
I need help figuring this out! Going from OS5 to OS6 has cost me a lot of grief!
Pictures are meant to be uploaded to your computer for safekeeping.
Contacts should be synched to your contact manager app on your computer or a cloud service.
ITunes media should be synched to your computer.
Not sure where the data for iA writer is stored, but would have investigated this prior to updating my software for sure.
If cannot get back your data by restoring your phone from your most recent backup, then the data are gone. -
Lost all my catalog when I D/L'd a trial of Lightroom 5. How do I get my catalg back?
When I installed a trial version of LR 5 it seemed to be copying my catalog from my LR 4.4, but now all my catalog and collections have disappeared from LR4 and are not in LR 5 either. How do I get my catalog and collections back?
Your Lightroom 4.4 catalog file is still on your hard disk, unchanged. You can search for it by opening Lightroom 4.4 and then select File->Open Recent.
Same thing in Lightroom 5, if you use File->Open Recent, it should allow you to open the converted version of your previous Lightroom 4.4 catalog. -
I put all my cd's on my ipod on my old laptop. now i did the update on itunes on my new laptop and all music has gone from the ipod.
Is there anyway of getting it back?All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -

Since upgrading my 3GS to IOS5, I have lost all my contacts, calendar inputs, and photos. How can I retrieve?
All media should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

Lost all my contacts in Mac address book. Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working. Please help
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others. -
Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?! Did Apple change/update something? Is it an iCloud issue? HELP!
We are itunes users just like you.
You should transfer all purchases to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store - Support - Apple -

I have just lost all my contacts from my Mac and my I Phone. Don't know how. Can I get them back? Not using Time Machine
If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

My ipod touch 4 has been freezing/shutting down alot so i press the top and middle button to restart it. Its been a while since i plugged my ipod to itunes so i just did and there was a problem syncing/connecting to itunes? I had to restore it, and when i did everything is gone! All my contacts,& photos. I got my music back by syncing it. but i dont think i backed up my contacts/photos??? how can i get these stuff back? and i use pinger/textfree for texting so is there a way i can get contacts back with that?
- If you backed up then restore from backup. On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you have a backup dated before you had the problem. On the restored iPod go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and see if you have aback dated before the problem.
- You may be able to get back some of your photos if you do not have a backup:
Using Photo Stream
For more information about using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer, see Photo Stream FAQ.
After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
- For contacts if you do not have a backup is to sync them to the program (Google contacts) that you used before. If you do not have one then you can't get them back. -
Ok I can't seem to get my apps,music, or photos from my iCloud from when I first setup iCloud on a iPhone 4. How do I get my things back from the iCloud and get them to my new device?
If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll. -
Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?
If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.
good luck

I had quite a few notes in the 'Notes' app. I suddenly find that all of them, except 3 have disappeared. What could be the reason and how can I get my notes back?
Not fully au fait with iCloud. I don't use it. But if you have done a backup to iCloud then this might help. This reply will refresh your post thereby giving others an opportunity to comment. Meanwhile, read up about iCloud in the User Guide. Here's the link to download it - http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
