If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

No. Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

If you made a backup using icloud, then restore your 5 to that backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

Hi jandroantonio,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?

TS3274 My iPad was working fine. It should be charged 100%. I turned it off and when I went back later it will not turn on or take a charge. Sue

My other iPad is only 5 months old. It was working fine but after I turned it off - now it will not turn back on.

If you are using iTunes 11 - it helps if you enable the sidebars if its not visible. From the iTunes menu at the top go to View>Show Sidebar. If iTunes does recognize the iPad, it should appear under the devices heading in the sidebar.
If it does not appear in the sidebar, you can try restoring using recovery mode. Recovery mode will totally erase the device so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from. If you sync with iTunes, you will be able to sync all of your content back to the iPad after the backup is restored.
You can read about recovery mode here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Here are the Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

My iPhone(5s) was dis functioning so I turned it off and when I turned it on again it said I had to set up as new phone or restore

I Am abroad so do not have my computer to restore my iPhone. Is there any way to recover my contacts photos messages etc. without iTunes?? Urgent.

If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

My iPhone 4S turned itself off and when it came back on the screen is completely blue. It still works except for the screen. Help please!

My iPhone wont work because of the screen but it still vibrates, makes noise, and turns on and off. Can apple either restore my phone or is there something else that can be done?

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

From backups you made to iCloud and/or iTunes, and items you synced from iTunes originally.
