New e-mail server, all my old e-mails disappeared, How do I get them back?
I changed my e-mail provider from Comcast to Verizon and when I updated the accounts in Mail --- all my inbox messages to the Comcast account disappeared. Is it possible to get them back or at least see them?
What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP)?
Mail stores all mail in ~/Library/Mail/. For each account, there is a folder whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username, and the incoming mail server. This is where all account-specific mailboxes are stored.
You should have created a new account in Mail, rather than changing the settings of the old one. I've seen people reporting that doing what you did caused the old account folder to be wiped out (and all the mail stored within it to be lost) without warning. This would be a serious bug, but I've been unable to reproduce it. It could very well be that the old account folder is still there, yet inaccessible.
Take a look at the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder. Do you see account folders for both the old and the new account there?
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

All of my contacts randomly disappeared, how do i get them back?
I backed up my phone to icloud last night and now all of my contacts are gone, yet when someone calls or texts me, their name still pops up.
First just try rebooting your phone, I had the same problem with my iPad.

By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back? The help info, HT4901, was the closest info from the Help pages but it assumed we were already on icloud and had simply disconnected our calendar from icloud. Actually, we were simply trying to synch our devices by signing up with icloud for the first time, so it seems our calendar never had a chance to get uploaded. In any case, how do you reconnect / re-access a calendar on icloud?
If your calendar does not appear on icloud.com it never uploaded to iCloud. If it is no longer on your computer you would have to restore it from a backup source such as Time Machine to restore it.

All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??
All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.
There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
Windoze or Mac?
Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer? -
I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.
I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

my friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?
As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...
I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

Uploaded them from Pottermore from my home computer, then to the Ipad, Now with recent upload all my books are gone. How do I get them back? Any ideas guys!
You have the files on your computer? If so, then just get them back into iTunes and sync them back onto your iPad. You can use the books part of iTUnes, or if you reader app has a data transfer option, use that to sync them back onto your device.

After updating iBooks on my iPad all my PDFs disappeared how do I get them back? I reinstalled the app again and they showed up and thn they disappeared, what is going on?
By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

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. -

Ever since I started using iCloud, all the older events in my calendar have disappeared. I need to get them back, and keep them in my calendar on my iPhone. How do I get them back and change the settings so that I keep all my calendar events?
Thanks!Thanks to AKRBTN for this reply to a previous poster. I had a similar question (not that iPhone was deleting past events, but that it just wasn't synching past events). I called APPLCARE; the rep said since my phone is out of warranty, I could either pay $20 to get help from her or go online. Easy choice to check the Apple community. Nice to find where the setting is.
