Lost some apps after syncing/restoring, how to get lost data back?

I updated the firmware of my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 yesterday. After the update, I noticed that I have lost all of my contacts on the phone, so I plugged it back in to the computer and went with "Restore from backup", which was dated just a few hours prior to updating the firmware.
After it finished restoring, my contacts were all back but half of my apps are missing. I tried redownloading from the App Store as well as syncing from the computer, but the data (game saves, etc) are still missing. How do I get them back?

It's still listed there, dated around 5 hours before I updated. I right-clicked on my iPhone and chose "Restore from backup" and they still weren't there.
Most of the apps that I lost were downloaded within the last 6 months, but the apps that remained contained data that are up to date (to just before the update).
In other words, half of my apps are up to date while the rest are completely missing their data.

Hopefully it isn't too late for this but: before performing an update it is really best if you close all apps (double click the home button, click and hold on one of the apps that appears at the bottom of the phone until the red minus sign appears and then tap the minus sign until all apps are closed) and then turn the phone off by holding the standby button until the slider saying "slide to power off" appears and slide it to turn the phone off. Then turn the phone back on and hook it up to your computer to sync and perform the upgrade. This also helps if you do this before performing syncs too. I had problems with an iPod previously where it would fail to backup before sync most times, but have never had a problem with updates or syncs since I started performing this procedure. Unfortunately, your pre-update backup may have failed and the data in your apps might be gone, but you could try to restore your phone. If I remember correctly how to do this, you connect it to your computer and check for updates. It should say you're up to date, but have an option to restore the phone. If it does, I'd try that. It may also have a "restore from backup" option you could try.

Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

Lost my apps after sync!!!

i synced my apps to my computer and i lost some of my apps after it finished sync-ing. may i know how to resolve this?

Follow these instructions in the link..It worked for me as I used the same account to log in and to download apps.If you had purchased apps earlier, your purchase history willbe available in account history. So there is nothing to worry about. You'll not have to pay for ur apps again if you have bought it earlier. Plus,you'll have to authorize your pc if itunes does not recognize ur device. Go to 'store->authorize this pc' in itunes.

HT201272 I lost an app after I restored my iPod Touch and now I can't find it

Before I restored my iPod I moved a majority of the songs I downloaded on the app to my computer. After I restored the iPod I downloaded the main apps I used, but I couldn't find the music app that I payed for months ago. I've looked through purchases All & Not On This iPod but I just can't find it. What can I do?

If the app is no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to re-download it. Do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes or on a backup of your downloads that you can use to re-sync it to your iPod ? Or if the app is still in the store, does it now need a higher iOS version than you have on your iPod ?

Would he get the softwares back if he does a Restore, bear in mind he does not have an account with iTunes Store.
Thank you in advance

Yes, he would. The software upgrade on the newer models is built in.

if you did not do a back up of your phone and memory card there is no way to get back the information. you can't roll back anything the memory or firmware once done is done for good. sorry i know this is not good news

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Archive and Install: How to get my data back?

I did an archive/install to resolve a "computer not going to sleep" issue. It did resolve the issue but now I want my data back. I see it is all probably in the folder titled: Previous Systems. How do i get things into this new install (such as my addresses, photo's, calendar, email boxes etc.)? Thanks in advance...Karen

You should copy and put things in selectively. You know how file systems work, yes? There is a home folder, and in this folder there will be a documents folder, a library folder, a photos folder, etc. I would suggest you open these folders in your previous system, find the files you want, and thene copy and paste them into the new Leopard home folder.
Think of it like moving into a new apartment. Sure, you might have a little more space, but do you really need to take that fishing tackle set you got at work from your secret Santa? Do you ever fish? No! And you sure as heck don't want to take the heater with you . . . it might not even work in the new place, and how would you hook it up? (the heater is a metaphor for the system files like those in "library")
Also, when you get to the new place (the new Leopard system) you want to make sure everything is in it's right place. A good way to do that is to look and see where it was stored at the old place (galoshes are right by the door, next to the coat rack - same thing in the new place).
Okay, I think I'm going overboard with the metaphor.
Do you dig?

Lost all apps after syncing new iPad to macbook pro - HELP!!!

I tried to sync my new iPad to my macbook pro. I got a message saying all my new apps I bought on my iPad did not transfer. I did the whole deauthorize/authorize thing and restarted to no avail. Now when I try to use those apps on my iPad they don't work. The screen flickers and the I'm back at homescreen. I spent a good amount of money on these apps. Help please!!
I'm MAC OS 10.6.8 and the iPad is the latest running 5.1.1

If it's apps that you've downloaded from the store that you're having problems with, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

You cannot download data from an icloud backup (of a device) to a mac. You can buy a new device and while doing the initial setup in itunes, be sure to perform a restore from the icloud backup.
