My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen? I thought I was 100% secure with Icloud but it does not seem the case! Now I have contacts retrieved form my email accounts but nothing from icloud!
Please help!

Well with the contacts, if you had back up assistant or google back up then you may be able to retrieve them.If not then they are gone for good. Withe the message you ae getting about the space, since you cleared everything out and still get that message you might or actually need to do afactory reset thru settings. So make sure the apps you want are saved on your card or just do the reset and redownload the apps

The article from which you came provides instructions. Where in the process are things breaking down for you?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

After the most recent software update my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage. Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct? In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

I updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.

1TB is missing from my hard drive. Is there a way to get them back without wiping my drive and reformatting everything?

I installed Windows 8 on my 3TB Fusion Drive, now about 1TB is missing from my hard drive. Is there a way to get them back without wiping my drive and reformatting everything?

No, I assigned 100GB to the Bootcamp partition. So my Macintosh HD should be still about 3TB but it only shows 2.2 TB. And when I try to put the Bootcamp partition back, it also shows that I would have about 2.3 TB combined. So almost a TB has just disappeared. It doesn't show up anywhere.
Also when I installed Windows 8 I saw about 800GB (which is most certainly my missing space) show up as Free space. Now my question would be If it is possible to get them back without wiping the whole drive.

I backed up my new iphone and only got the pictures from the old phone i lost the ones on the new one. is there a way to get them back ?

i have an old iphone and than i got a new one but never backed the new one up because i was waiting for a computer charger i just got the charger today i backed the old phone up than the new one i transfered the pictures from the old one to the new one with no problem but lost any pictures i had on the new one can i get them back

It sounds like you restored the backup of your old phone to your new phone.
Unless you backed up the new phone first or manually copied the pictures off prior to restoring the backup, the pictures are gone.

My babysitter synced her iphone 4s on my computer and i didnt notice until i synced mine now all my contacts are deleted from my computer. is there any way to get my contacts back on my phone? like a way to restore from before she synced her phone?HELP!!

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 have an iphone 3 and i recently updated to iso 5 and it restored my phone and i lost all my ringtones is there any way to get them back?

I want to know how to get my ringtones back after upgrading to ios 5 and having my phone restored during it

Pictures taken with the phone are part of the backup. So, if you still have a backup from before that happened, restore from it and all photos taken up to that point in time will be restored, if they were inside the camera roll.

I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?

Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.

If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
Otherwise two options:
Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore. But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder.
iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version:
http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
Here are locations of your backup folder.
Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup

I still have all of my music on harddrives but I erased the track listings from the library screen on my computer. Is there any way to get them back?

I keep my itunes on two external harddrives. And I sync one or the other to my computer when changing up my playlists on my iPod. Well I usually download my music to my computer and then move it over to the harddrives and then I erase the music from my computer's harddrive, but only the music! Well on accident I erased the whole itunes folder from my computer. I still have all the music on the external harddrives but the library registry on the computer has been emptied! Plus my computer will not recognise my iPod anymore. So I need to sync my iPod with my computer and I need to fill up the registry or what ever it is called in my iTunes library on my computer so that I can change around my app and music selection on my iPod. Can anyone help me. Please!

You mean you chose to restore your iPhone with iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync the iPhone.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes on your computer - with iTunes on the correct computer that has been used to sync the iPhone.

My home PC crashed taking over 100 songs with it, my work laptop had everything but those 100 songs, that system is now at home...how do i re-load all those songs that i have already paid for, is there a way to get them back?

My home computer system and work laptop shared an iTunes account, the home system crashed and took 125 or so songs with it that weren't on the work machine...work machine is now my home system but how do I retrieve those 125 songs? Calvin

I agree with whereitis above, I hate it when options are removed (ex: the Bookmarks side panel (Ctrl-B) button missing) etc.. Firefox's major BOLD one-liner is: CUSTIMAZATION. Now to regain this CUSTIMAZATION freedom, Firefox suggest to solve this by installing the ADDON "Classic Theme Restorer". I don't want to install any ADDON to customize Firefox! I went with Firefox because it was CUSTOMIZABLE, and that is the only reason why I went with this web browser! Now, Firefox is asking me to add an ADDON to CUSTOMIZE it. What is this?!
