Lost phone info retrieval

I lost my phone and whoever found it has not returned it. Does anyone know if I buy a new iphone and connect to my itunes account if I can retrieve my contacts etc. from my old phone?? Because the old one was crashing a lot lately I had to restore it and it asked if I wanted to back up my phone first, which I did. does this actually mean it was backed up somewhere for me to retrieve?
Also, I had many celebrity phone numbers on my phone. I reported it lost but can the finder turn the phone on and get that info?

The iPhone's backup does not include contacts. So, if you get a new iPhone you wouldn't be able to retrieve them from the backup. This article shows what is backed up: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
Unless you had a passcode on your iPhone, it would be very easy for the person who found your iPhone to access your personal info. This includes your email accounts. So you should change your password for your email account.
Good luck!

I phone info retrieval

If my phone is damaged is there a way to get online for info stored in my MSecure app?

Don't know what you mean exactly by "get online". I suppose it might depend on the definition of "damaged". Does the app sync or backup data on-line anywhere?

Lost phone need to wipe it of my info

Lost phone. How do I wipe my info?

Did you enable Find my iPhone before the phone was lost? If you did and the phone is connected to the Net (either via wifi or cel network), you will be able to do so. Otherwise you are out of luck.

HT1386 After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

At some point in the past, I synched with Gmail. Looking at my Gmail contacts, I can see that it's missing the same contacts I'm currently missing from the iPhone. Is it possible that I may have done that sync back in October 2009 (but not since) and then somehow recently over-wrote my contacts content with whatever was there? Is there some setting I could have tripped to make something like that happen?

Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline. I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on? The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings). To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud. (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.

Lost Song Info

OK, here's my situation:
I have Windows XP. I realised that no album artwork was showing on my iPod nano, even though it was on iTunes (most up-to-date version). This was because the error with the "Chkdsk" thing kept appearing. After I ran that, nothing changed, but after I'd changed some setting somwhere, I thought I'd fixed the problem. But I had to stop partway through the operation so only some of it came up on the iPod.
However, when I went back to it, I somehow accidentally deleted all song info (artist, album, album artwork etc) and now all that appears on both the iPod and iTunes is the song title. This is the case in "iPod", "Purchased" and "Library" sections. Nor is it on my hard drive.
Is there an easy way to retrieve all lost song info quickly and easily?

How many songs are you talking about? You can enter the information yourself for each one if you're up to it. Right click on the song file, then choose get info. On the second tab "info" where everything is probably showing up unknown, you can type in the information. I'm sorry I really don't know of another way to do this if the program can't ID the song to search the internet for details.
Are these whole albums or individual songs? If they're albums, you could burn them to a CD and then rip them into Windows Media Player. You'll get an option to search for the album info. online before you rip the CD. You can enter the artist or album name and let Windows Media Player find the correct song details, then Windows Media Player will enter the info into all of the columns for you. Once you have these albums ripped in Media Player, you can re-import them into iTunes and the tags will be there. (Just make sure you rip using mp3 so you don't have to go through a conversion process to bring them into iTunes.) Album art doesn't transfer from Windows Media Player to iTunes. You'll have to hand add this.
I don't rip in iTunes so I don't know how the program tags unknown albums. If iTunes can search for and add tag information to unknown albums--skip the Windows Media Player step and just re-rip everything in iTunes.

Is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

I had this same problem (still do--phoen is still missing).
Do NOT get sucked into the scam site online that says they can find your phone with the IMEI number. I was so frantic that I paid those clowns $70 to do it. WHeN I figured out that htey were not doing as they said and sending me reports, I finally called Apple and was told NO, it is not possible.
If you did not have Find My iPHone on (I didn't), and you do not have insurance (Verizon can ping it if you have insurance, and they will not let you pay to do it after you've lost it) OR if you don't have an subpoena, you're out of luck, unless you can find it.
Just don't get suckered into believing that site. It's the only one that I found like it. They've even got a database where you can look up your phone IMEI number and it will show you the model, and it's correct. The rep I spoke to from Apple said more than likely someone was selling that info (Illegally) from the phone carriers, so it all looks pretty good when you're frantic.

Hard to know, but reporting it to the police is usually a required step from your insurance carrier if you plan on filing a claim. Here's Apple's support article on what to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

Can you clarify your problem? Are you having trouble restoring your new iPhone from a previous phone's backup? Or are you having trouble logging into iMessage?

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

HT4059 I recently lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. We I restored it my iBooks didn't bring my files. I have the properly labeled files in the collections, just no files. How do I get these?

I recentlyl lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. When I performed the restore, everything came accross except my iBooks pages. I have the proper files in my collections, but the information in the files is not showing up.
How do I get this lost information back?

A backup doesn't contain any of your iTunes downloads or the contents of the Music, Videos or iBooks apps. If they are ibooks and they are still in the store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. If they are PDFs and/or epubs from other sources then do you have copies of them anywhere e.g. are they in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library or elsewhere on your computer ?

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.
