Since I upgraded my IPad to iOS 5, I lost all my ebooks and all the music I had in the IPod. How can I recover them? I need urgent help.

After my upgrade to iOS 5, all downloaded ebooks disappeared from my IPad. All the music in the IPod are also lost. I cannot turn on location services. What can I do to restore these items? Amechy

Upgrading either an iPad, iPod, or iPhone to iOS 5 deletes all content on the device to upgrade.  You will need to restore the iPad from a backup in iTunes to restore your content and settings.  Connect your iPad to iTunes, and right click the iPad when it appears left bar in iTunes.  There is an option there to restore from a backup.  Select a backup and all your content and settings should be moved back to the device.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • HT204406 I bought iTunes Match enabled it on my ipad now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I have is the music my daughter purchased from itunes how can I get them back. for her ipad.

    I have ipad 3 & daughter new ipad mini with RD. She has nano and I have classic. Her nano syncs to her own laptop and mine to my desktop. I bought iTunes Match and authorised both iPads and both iPods. I have now enabled iTunes Match in my ipad and was warned it would replace my library. I pressed "enable" and now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I've got is the music my daughter bought from iTunes. What have I done wrong and how can I get my songs back. When I bought iTunes Match I got 1 e-mail confirming subscription and another providing receipt but nothing else no links etc. any assistance would be appreciated.

    You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
    Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server.  Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page.  If they are gone, then they are really gone.
    Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago.  Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones.  My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
    What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted?  (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

    By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?

    If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

  • HT203167 After upgrading ITunes, I lost most of my play lists. How can I recover them?

    Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
    And, do you have backup?

  • I updated to the iOS 6 and lost all my videos and photos. How can I recover them?

    I updated my I Pad 2 to the iOS 6.0 and lost my videos and photos, how can I get them back?

    If you synced your photos and video to a computer (as you should do to store this data off a device), then you can sync them back to the device using itunes.  Otherwise you are at the mercy of a backup, if you ever made one.  Many users have lost photos and videos when performing a restore from icloud.  You may be one of them.  However if previously you used photo stream to sync photos to other devices, then you may still have them there.  Turn on photo stream on the iPad 2 to get them back.  Video, however, does not work on photo stream.

  • I lost all my notes in my iphone and ipad..how can I recover them?

    How can I recover my notes in my iphone??

    If you included the iPhone backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore the backup from that point of time and your contact info will be there again. But all settings and other data will also be set back to that point. The location of the iPhone backup folder is described in this article:

  • When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared.  How can I recover them?  I have iPhoto '08.

    When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared.  How do I recover them?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Since upgraded to ios 8 my iPhone has become slow and deleted photos appeared automatically in camera roll. How do I overcome these problems?Please help

    Kindly help me to solve these problems.

    Hi abhi_lara,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues with generalized slowness and photo behavior after upgrading your iPhone to iOS 8, you may want to first try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you are still having issues after the reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring the apps or your data. You may find the following article helpful:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
