Lost data after restore

Tried to download (sync) my pics and videos to my PC. Itunes advised me that my phone and itunes had an update available and I could update both which is what I did. At the very end I was advised the update could not complete and my phone locked up (picture of charge wire and itunes logo on my phone). I could not turn the phone off and was advised by itunes that I had to restore the phone, this was my only option. I chose restore which put everything from my last sync back on my phone and deleted everything that I was trying to sync (pics, videos, songs, apps...etc.). How do I go about restoring or finding all of the lost data?

Lost data after restore attempt

Hi everyone.
I have a macbook pro 13 and yesterday I updated it to the 10.6.6 v with the new mac app store. The mac store was very slow and it stopped completely many times. I tried many things like deleting boot camp, logout etc but it wouldn't work.
Today it was the same way so I decided to restore the data from 27 dec timemachine backup(last before update). But then it erased a great deal of my data: dock position, wallpaper, safari presentation, agenda contacts, ical, mail, favorites, keys etc.
I could restore some data from timemachine one by one for the agenda (not exactly like it was). But no way for the keys, dashboard widgets, ical etc.
The system kept all the apps and the 10.6.6 update. And I still face problems with the mac app store.
I am clueless about what happened and if it's possible to recover this data.
I hope u guys can help.
Thank you
Felipe

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

How did you do that? Did you do a full system restore, starting up from your Install disc, per #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum)?
If not, that's what you need to do.

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?

I have lost all my notes data after restore. Anyone know how to retrieve notes after restore?
I havent' took any backup of my notes in icloud. The moment I enter the password after restore my notes will be empty. The only option to get notes back is that after restore skip entering icloud password. But any time I enter icloud password anywhere again my notes will be empty. I have huge data saved in my notes. Apple need to look into this issues very seriously. This is the 5th time I restoring my iphone today just to get my note back.

I have the issue with losing all my notes and I don't even know why. I can't remember changing any email account info. What happened to them?

How to restore lost data after accidentally syncing iPhone to new computer?

So, I've been reading around the forum on the correct stepst to syncing an iPhone to a new computer in order to keep all data. Unfortunately, I only saw these discussions AFTER automatically syncing my iPhone with my new computer. So all my phone contents and settings are gone and only my apps remain, because they're still on my iTunes. My question is: is there are painless way where I can restore all my lost data (e.g. contacts, phone setting, VPNs, camera roll photos, messages, etc.) onto my phone again?

lucky you have something left. in my case, i lost my first iphone so i bought a new one and im trying to register for online support and syncing it i just lost all the data in the new phone... all i have is this emergency call on the screen...please help....

Restore lost data after update, frozen on apple logo

Hi All,
I need help! I decided to finally update to the latest 8.1.3 (guessing that is what it was). Everything seemed fine until it re-started and it froze on the apple logo. No matter how long I pressed on the home and on/off button, no change! Then I decided to reset it and I figured I could just restore data from iCloud. Well, it turns out the last back up was from mid last year and now I've lost so many images, data, texts, etc. I am devastated and don't know how else to recover the lost data. I am kicking myself for ignoring all the back up prompts...do not ignore, sh*t happens. If anyone has any input, I will be so grateful!!

JJust hold both buttons till it restarts. Humming you may of lost it. But if you been syncing you just resign in.

Lost data after update IPOD Touch

Hello folks,
i just updated my IPOD touch and i lost all my data, i would like to know if there is a way to have back all the data
thank you

If you have a backup with the data then restore from backup:
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
otherwise:

Lost data after os mavericks update?

just updated to osx mavericks and lost all the data and apps on the system. How do i restore these apps and lost data?

From the backup you made before installing Mavericks. Did you make a Time Machine backup or make a bootable clone of your system?

Lost All Data after Restore

I was getting an error message when I tried to sync my iPhone, so I eventuall decided to do a restore. I figured after I had restored, it would be simple to go to a backup and have all my data back. Problem was that during the restore, my hard drive got full, and now I've lost all my data. It won't let me get to my back up.
Can anyone help get to the back up data?

If there's no backup, there's no way to restore the data.

I think my wife has lost all her data after Restoring incorrectly .. can anyone help? I will add a longer explanation

Help ... My wife got an old laptop working again today. On there was an iTunes which she hadn't used for a year or more.
1. Marie plugged her 6 month old iPhone 4s into iTunes (the first time she had done this)
2. iTunes said she needed v 10.5 or above
3. She downloaded iTunes 10.7
4. She plugged iPhone back into iTunes
5. her iPhone showed the iTunes install screen
6. The screen message said an iPhone has already been synced with this iTunes (in fact it was an iPod Touch). She was asked whether she wanted to add this as a new iPhone, or if she wanted restore to "Marie's previous iPod Touch settings?"
7. You can guess what happened next. Marie mistakenly pressed Restore.
8. After she had done Restore, the phone asked her if she wanted to join iCloud and use location services etc. She clicked yes. However, by that time I am pretty sure she'd blanked the content on the iPhone by the mistaken restore from the old Touch.
8. We now have no photos, videos, contacts or text messages on the iPhone.It has been Restored with the content on what was a more or less blank iPod Touch.
QUESTION: I think she has replaced all of our content with, basically, nothing. We had many cherished photos and videos on there. Is there ANY way we can get our photos, videos etc back? Marie doesn't think she did a backup before Syncing her iphone.But would the phone have backed up previously, without her knowledge? Given that she had never plugged it into iTunesbefore...
First time we've used the Community. Marie is utterly distraught at the thought that we've lost tons of videos of our 2 year old daughter.
Can anyone help?

Have you rebooted mac? Then don't, until you checked the temporary directories. If your Aperture library went offline for some reason, Aperture may have written the images to the temporary caches.
Check these system folders, if you find any iPhone images
Quit Aperture.
Open a Terminal window and enter the following two line:
open $TMPDIR
This will open a Finder window with cryptically named folders. Dive into them and look for Aperture's Media cache folder. Are there any image files in the folder "com.apple.Aperture"?
Sometimes Aperture will write to that directory, if it cannot write to the Aperture library.
Also check the following location:
open /tmp
Added: Is there something special about the photos? Are they HDR photos, or taken i burst mode?

How can I get Back all of my data after restoring and back up ? I lost my data and I did back up

when I did restore and update .. I lost all of my data , then I pressed to back up buttom , when I try to restore data , its disapper . is there anyway to get back all data lost ?

If you are backing up to your computer, check iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there are nay other backups listed.
Since each backup replaces the old one if not used to restore from, your data might be lost since you seem to have backed up a phone without any personal data.
Check this article about how to restore from backups:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Restore lost data after software upgrade without having a backup

Hi!
Yesterday I upgraded to 10.1.0.418 via BB Link and all my data (contacts,apps, photos etc.) was lost. It happens every time I upgrade the software (I did it 3 times) and I am sick of this! Could you tell me please, is there a way to restore the data I had before upgrading without a backup made before the upgrade?
Thanks!

Can I recover lost app data after restore?

Hi everyone and thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some help!
Apple recently told me some issues I was having with my phone were software based and they refused to issue me a replacement phone until I attempted to setup the phone as a new phone in iTunes. I did so and it didn't fix the issues. I am waiting on a replacement, however, in the meantime, I am restoring to the backup file from iTunes. I have restored all of my general data but, all of my app data is missing.
I'm most concerned with an app that keeps track of my time off requests for work (including info on all of my vacation days and sick time, from the last 5 years) as I know I have time to take off before the end of the month. I know, it sounds silly.
Bottom line, is there a way to restore the backed-up app data to my phone? I've never had this problem when I've used the backup to set up a new phone or a replacement in the past.
Many thanks!
Note: I have an iPhone 5 and am using a Windows based computer.

The backups are completely random and although I backed up daily and, as a precaution, 4 times previous to the advised restore, there is only one that is current (the next most recent file is from a year ago).
As mentioned, I've previously had no issue with this. I've received replacement phones and purchased upgrades in the past, and never had any issues with app data syncing.
Should I try another restore from backup or is there something else I should be trying?

Lost data after upgrade to Lion

Hi. I recently upgraded to Lion on my Macbook Pro and after a crash, my data was lost. The documents and downloads folders were empty. Fortunately I have a PC backup of the data and when I tried to restore the music to Itunes I was getting error messages about my MAC hard disk being full. Is the data still there? If so where? As it is not showing and a search for music on the hard disk yielded nothing. The capacity of my HD is 250GB and before the upgrade it had about 125GB free. I suspect the data was not removed but merely 'marked for deletion' and parked somewhere during the upgrade.

To find out if it really is still there, check this FAQ* on disk space:
