Yes, if you still have a backup from the time before this happened, see this article for more info: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and ICloud. My Contact information is missing phone numbers. What is my fix?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

Simple restore the iphone from your last back up.
right click on the device in iTunes and select restore from backup.

"Synching" with new computer and maintaining playlists

I bought a new iMac in July, but continued to synch my iPhone4 with my older MacBook. I would like to switch over to synching with the iMac, but don't want to lose my playlists, music files, etc, which are currently stored on the iPhone. Is there a way to pull the playlists off the phone into the iMac? (All of my music files are on an external 2TB drive that synchs that is available to all macs in the house via my airport network. The other issue, which is slightly related, is that the MacBook's iTunes library recently changed itself and forgot where it's library was. In choosing the correct library, a lot of my playlists were gone and some of the music was also gone. The MacBook has 3 hard drives (one internal; 2 external that are always on), 2 of which are bootable. Booting from a different drive still doesn't pull up the iTunes library as it occurred a month ago. I tried pulling it out of Time Machine, but it didn't work. So, synching with the MacBook is also impossible, since again, my iPhone playlists will be erased. So, how can I pull the music & playlists off of the iPhone before synching with the new computer? (I should reiterate that I am not in danger of losing the music, since it's all on the external music-server drive, but the playlists will all disappear.)

I never got a reply to this, but today, downloaded the App called PhoneView, which appears to do nearly everything I needed. Pretty cool. Apple, I really wish you would make it easier to pull data and apps off an iPhone when synching with a new Mac.

I synced my iphone 4 with my computed and the erase pictures after sync box was checked and i did not realize it, is there a way to get the photos back into camera roll?

i got a new computer and synced my iphone with it for the first time, i didnt realize the box for erase photos after synce was checked and my photos got erased off my iphone. i got the photos onto my iphone again by going into itunes clicked on the button to go into sync settings for the iphone on the top bar from there i clicked photos and picked the folder with the photos i just synced. i was hoping there was a way to move my photos back into caemra roll. right now i have 4 albums. camera roll, photo library, an album i titled, the album of photos synced with onto my phone that had the pictures that got deleted. the photo library and the photos synced albulm have the same thing in them

HT4528 my iphone synced with my computer and left my contact info but erased the address and phone numbers but left notes and email addresses on the phone and computer

Is there any way to restore the addresses and phone numbers to the contacts on the iphone and computer that were erased after it synced?

Then chances are you won't be able to get them back. You can try restoring from your last iPhone backup to see if they're still there. To do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences; on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup. Of course, if your backup has already been overwritten with a new backup that doesn't contain the missing contact information then this will not restore it to your phone.) When done you can go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

Synching, ringtones and wiping out my contacts. What is wrong?

I just got a 3GS and imported my contacts from my old phone. Then I made four ringtones and installed them into the Ringtones folder in ITunes. I added them into my phone. Now I made 2 more ringtones but when I tried to install them by dragging from the ringtone folder to my phone ITunes wipes out my contacts. All the ringtones are with extensions M3r as required by ITunes. What am I doing wrong?

The new ringtones have M4r extensions and were easily moved to the Ringtones folder in ITunes. However, when I try to drag them into my IPhone they don't go in and in several cases my contacts are erased by ITunes and I have to go through the process of importing the contacts using the sim card from my old phone. There must be a better way.

HELP!! my babysitter synced her iphone 4s with my computer and i didnt notice she deleted all my contacts when she did this. so when i synced mine it deleted all the contacts on my phone! is there any way to restore from before the sync? HELP!!!

if you see the option to restore in itunes, click it. Your phone will give you the option to restore as new, or restore from backup.

The above article walks you through it, and has pictures. As for your contacts, if you had them saved to Outlook (windows contacts?) you can follow this other article for getting them back. I know it says ipod, but it will work the same.

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.
