Not unless you backed up the phone before it was stolen.

  • I was sending a text and then the screen went blank with the white apple.  I turned my iphone back on and all my texts  and contacts were gone.  How can i get my text messages back?

    My friend was sending a text with a pic as an attachment and then suddenly, she got a blank screen with the white apple logo and it then shut off.  When she turned it back on, she discovered all her texts and her contacts were missing.  How can she get them back?  She's got a iOS 4.3.5 with a 16GB iPhone 4. 

    Connect to the computer she regularly syncs to, right click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, and choose "restore from backup".

  • I plugged my iphone 5 into my windows computer and it automatically restored my phone so all my photos and messages and apps were deleted. is there anyway i can get my text messages back??

    is there anyway to get my text messages back onto my iphone 5 after plugging it into my windows computer?

    Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
    You also said "I have yet to back it up."  Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
    Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes.

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • Iphone 5s was stolen - can i get my pictures and videos back

    I was recently in Barcelona, Spain with my high school travel club when my iphone 5s was stolen. The last time i had backed up my phone was not since 2012. I am sick as i had over 1,000 pictures and 30 videos from our trip. Some people told me that even though my iphone hadn't been backed up, i had my "streamed photos" that i would still be able to get back? If there is still absolutely any way to get my pictures and videos back, please let me know. It would be very much appreciated! Thank you.

  • How can I get my deleted message back ? How do I hide my contants?

    I Would like to get my deleted message back .
    i Would also hide my contants.

    IF the message that you deleted is in a backup, restoring the backup should bring the message back. Be aware that when you restore a backup, you restore everything in that backup to your device. If your backup is one month old, you will be turning back the clock one month on your iPad with regard to app data, settings, camera roll photos, etc, - if you restore that backup.
    Do not backup the iPad before you restore the backup, or you will simply be restoring a backup that no longer includes the message that you deleted.

    You cannot hide your contacts in the contacs app, if that is what you are asking how to do.

  • If my ipod was stolen can i get my serial number from apple?

    how would i get my serial number through apple store if it was stolen today? i need it ASAP beause im in school and the day ends at 1:45...someone help me please

    I don't believe you can get your serial number from Apple since they have know way of knowing that you are indeed you, but you can call Apple tech support at 1-800-275-2273 (if you have a cellphone or can make an 800 call from school) and ask.
    Otherwise, if you have access to a computer to which you synced the iPod, or someone you can call does, you can find the serial number in iTunes on that computer. See:

  • Imac was stolen, can i get my iphotos to my ios7

    My Imac was stolen, and i want to know how to get my photos from my Iphoto Imac App?.. If yes how?..

    If your iPhoto library was on your stolen mac, you have to get hold of the thief or the Mac to access it. There is little hope to access the photos on the device. We need to know, what data are left under your control.
    Was the iPhoto library on an external drive? Do you have a backup of your stolen mac? And access to a different computer to be able to read those disks?
    Did you share any of your photos online? Photo stream, Shared Photo stream, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox?

  • Computer was Stolen- Can i get my purchases downloaded on my new computer?

    My computer was stolen and i had a bout 2 years worth of music that i bought. I go into my "purchase history" and see all of these songs, is there any way to re download them onto my new computer?

    If you had no backups and everything was on the computer I'm afraid the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

    I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
    Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
    I have tried-
    1. Turning it off and on again.
    2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
    3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
    4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
    None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
    I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • When my phone is locked, and I get a text message, it isn't making any sounds. When the phone is in use and I get a text, it makes the alert sound.

    When I get a text while the phone is locked it doesn't make the designated alert sound, but it does if the phone is unlocked and in use.

    I think you have the 'do not disturb' function enabled. If there is a moon icon in the top right of the home screen that will be the problem. Go to settings,  do not disturb, and make sure manual slider is off. I had the same problem and took me a day to figure out.
    Good luck

  • My phone was stolen will i get an email if i ever get an email saying that my iphone has been found?

    because on find my iphone it say lock sent, but hasnt recieved ive sent a report to the police but i doubt they'll do anything what i noticed is that the serial number is unique and is there any possible way of finding out if someone has re-registered the device and then getting an email sent to me

    If some re-registers the phone, why would you get an email? It's unlikely that they will register it with your email address.
