Manual ios update and all data lost?

I updated my ipad manually and everything went well but when i updated my dads ipod touch 3g all data was LOST!!!!!! My dad went mad!! He had tonnes of songs in his collection especially old songs and he didnt make any back up.......please suggest how i can recover these songs my dad is sooooo upset!
THanks in advance!!!

If they are not on the iPod or computer they are gone. However, iTunes purchases can be redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the synced items like music and apps are not in the iTunes library on which you do an update they well be lost since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like aps or music.

IOS is the operating system for an iPhone, or an iPad, I assume you mean OSX as this is a Mac forum.
What version did you update from, and to.

Ipod Synced with PC and all data lost

Hi, I have a new Ipod classic 120 GB. I normally use it with my macbook and all was good till yesterday my brother synced it with a PC and all data was lost. My Ipod has a few mp3 music flies which i cannot delete and gives me error code 61. It also refuses to be recognized by my macbook again although when i connect the itunes open in my macbook but doesnot read the ipod and does not sync. I have even tried to restore. The ipod pluged in icon appears on the screen. Any suggestions to help me get my data back from my macbook itunes would be much appreciated.

DId you sync you iPod on another computer? If so the photos are gone.
Unless you synced/backed up your iPod after you had taken the photos and the backup still has the photos, the photos are gone. You can go to iTunes>Preferences>DIvices and see the date of the backup.

Updated to itunes 11 and all data lost from ipod and library

I updated to itunes 11 yesterday and then downloaded some cd's I'd bought on HMV Digital. lugged ipod in and all music appeared in library as normal. i transferred new music onto ipod and created some playlists. When i turned my ipod on this morning to go to work, there are no songs on it at all, not even the ones i downloaded and transferred last night!!!!
Having logged into itunes again tonight, the only music in my library is that which i downloaded last night... I am livid, there were thousands of songs on there and I don't have access to that music anymore... Is there any way I can retreive the info? All music isn't backed up on this laptop as ipod was previously synced with different PC

Just FYI - the situation is resolved. I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works. I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

Ipad 2 unexpectedly reset and all data lost

Hi everyone.
My wife was recently using our iPad 2 when it decided to turn off with over 70% battery remaining. Upon turning back on it had performed a factory reset and acted as though it was a new iPad with no data at all.
While some apps could be retrieved via iTunes all of our photos from the last few years have disappeared. Very few of them are on iCloud and what we had backed up was on our old laptop which died (lesson learned about regular back ups - even if it shouldn't have happened). iOS version now shows as 8.1 (downloading) not that we intended to do the latest update.
This was completely random and happened while browsing the internet.
I have seen programs that claim to be able to retrieve data on first generation iPads but none that can do it on the mk 2. Surely the data must still be in the memory as nothing has been saved to overwrite it?
Is there any hope??

iPhone Backup Extractor claims to work with any iPad, not just the first model. I heve never used one of these softwares and what I do not understand is that they claim to be able to extract files from your iTunes or iCloud backups. What is confusing to me is that of you have an iTunes or iCloud backup, what on earth do you need this software for? Why couldn't one simply restore that backup? I must be missing something, because that makes no sense to me at all.

Downloaded photo app crashed and all data lost?

Hi saskatoongordon,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Sorry to hear about your BlackBerry Q10 being wiped. Do you have another backup file to restore from?
Can you please clarify this issue? Is BlackBerry Link able to connect with your BlackBerry Q10 smartphone but the computer doesn't detect it? Are you able to try connecting your BlackBerry Q10 to another computer to see if it can be detected and rule out any device issue?
What is the full version of BlackBerry Device Software that you currently have?
Can you tell me what happens when you try to backup? Are any errors received?
I look forward to your response.
-FS

I have updated my iphone and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution? I am about to syncope!

I have updated my iphone4 and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution?

All data that was on your iPhone should be on your computer.
All photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer should remain on your computer and can be retransferred. Photos/videos captured by the iPhone can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before installing an iOS update. Re-transfer these photos from your computer as with any other photos available on your computer.
Contacts and notes are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and there are some free email accounts that support syncing contacts and notes over the air.

Change this setting.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do?
