Plugged in iphone to my iMac, it asked me to back my iPhone. Now everything on my iphone is lost. How can I retrieve back all my info?

All my contacts, photos, app information, videos and messages have gone. I don't know where they are on my computer and I want to know how I can restore them back on my iphone. Thanks, looking forward to your reply

In the iCloud preference pane, sign in to the same account you use on the other devices, if you haven't already done that. Then check the box marked Contacts.

i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

MY IPHONE 3GS LOST HOW CAN I TRACE

MY IPHONE 3GS LOST HOW CAN I TRACE

If you turned on Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost you can to to icloud.com on your computer, sing into your iCloud account, tap the green radar icon (which is Find My iPhone). If it's connected to the internet the location will be displayed on the map and you can remote lock it, remote wipe, send a message to it, etc. See Find My iPhone here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/.
If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before it was lost, there is no way to track it.

IPhone contact lost how can I get back

iPhone contact lost how can I get them back without mobile me account

Hi KoAungChaint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you have lost a contact from your iPhone and would like to recover it. I know you say you do not have a MobileMe account so I assume you don’t have an iCloud account because MobileMe is no longer in service. If you do have a backup in iTunes on your computer, you could restore your iPhone from that backup and recover any data, including contacts, from that backup. You can use the following article as a reference if you would like to restore from an iTunes backup on your computer.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.
Thanks for reaching out,
-Joe

My iphone(16g)Lost,how can I get it back?

Hello All,My iphone lost,how can I get it back?Now the person who get my iphone has powered off iphone.I can't get call my iphone.

Probably not. If the person knew what they were doing then they probably restored the phone rendering find my phone useless. If it was sprint or verizon then have them block the phone from being activated. AT&T won't right now but they are going to start doing it soon.

I accidently put a photo in the trash on my iphone 4s. How can I retrieve it?

i accidently put a photo in the trash on my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve it and take it out of the trash?

There's no "trash can" on any iOS device. If not backed up, your photo is most likely gone. There are third-party iOS data recovery programs available that claim to be able to retrieve deleted data like this. You can use Google to search for them. None are cheap & I have no experience with any, thus cannot recommend any.

My iPhone was lost how can I sync my iphone photos to facebook.

I'm using iPhone4 IOS7. I lost my iphone but i was not able to set the settings to sync my iphone photos to facebook. My friend told me that I should set it
but i dont have any idea that time. I would like to ask if it is possible now to sync my iphone photos to facebook using online applications or anthing?, so that
whoever found my iphone and if he/shee took pictures i can able to see it on my facebook? PLEASE iphone community. I really need your help.
I already used Find my Iphone app but i cannot track it because it is offline.

The only way to track an iPhone is if you turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud before it was lost, then login to your iCloud account, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up. To show up it must be turned on and connected to the internet.
If the iPhone did not have protections invoked and someone found/stole it and restored to factory condition, and then activated with a different number, there is no way to track or find it.
If it has been stolen or lost you can report that to your carrier and see if they offer blacklisting...that will block it from ever being activated by another person.

If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

My iphone was stolen 1 month ago. I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app. Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone. I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device. Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
What if your iOS device is off or offline?
If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

My iphone has lost how can search without imei number

HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

HT1296 My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again?

All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. How do I retrieve or reset the password?

Can anyone help...
I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.
How do I retrieve or reset the password?
It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications. When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

I bought my iPhone in Germany, how can I change carriers to be able to use it in the US?

Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. If they won't, sell it.
