My contacts are gone, how do I get them back?
my contacts were in my phone and 5 minutes later i went to send a message and went into my contacts and I didnt have any at all? how do i get them back?
If you were syncing them with iCloud (and not another service like Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account), and they are no longer on icloud.com, you would have to restore them from a backup source to get them back. If your only backup is your iCloud backup, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

i have a 3gs that i just updated to 5.0. all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?
Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

How can i recover my contact list, it has just disappeared
If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

All my contacts are gone, how do I get them back?
I have an iPhone 5S and first gen iPad. All my contacts were gone this morning. I tried rebooting, that did not work. Then I tried restoring from backup on iCloud, that also did nothing. Where did my contacts go?!?
I just restored to an older iCloud backup. I opened my contacts, and they were there for a second, then all disappeared.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back? Please help! Thanks!
Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -
I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?
I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?
Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
Sorry... -

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost. -

The original playlists that came with it disappeared how do I get them back?
Hi elyyong,
Please see these articles: [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]], [[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]].
I think the restore section in the 2nd article will be of most help.
Post back if not.

I have a Photography CC subscription and have downloaded some of the free fonts and used them initially but noticed now that they are gone--what do I have to do to get them back and why did they go away?
Hi Joe,
You can download the fonts thru the Adobe CC app manager for Typekit. Check to see if they are listed there.
