Syncing does not do this. What was really done?
Is this the comptuer the device normally syncs with?

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
Thanks

All of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

I started using my new iphone 5c before syncing to iCloud and have lost all my messages. Can I get them back? Should I have registered the phone as 'new iphone'?

i got my new iphone a week ago. i started using it straight away, before i knew about icloud and that i could sync all my contacts, etc to the new phone. i then turned on icloud for contacts - this worked fine. today i tried putting my music onto my phone. i clicked 'recognise a B's iphone' in itunes - this has synced music and apps. the only problem is that i have lost all my text messages from the last week. the phone is showing old messages from december 2012 only! can i delete these and get my recent messages back??
thanks.

You did more than sync the new iPhone with iTunes since syncing with iTunes does not include text messages.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the device as a new iPhone.
The former replaces all data on the iPhone that is included with the selected backup for the other iPhone or iOS device. The latter does not.
If a backup for your new iPhone was not created with iCloud or if created and has been updated since the backup was transferred from the other iPhone or iOS device, the previous data on the new iPhone is gone.

After syncing in i Tines I lost ALL Contacts on i Phone

When last syncing i Phone, I lost all my contacts on my i Phone. I still have them in Google (Gmail). In i Tunes I have the box checked off "Sync contacts with Google contacts" but still it does not do this. Can anyone help? Thanks

I've solved it.
When you look in "Google Contacts, you'll find different categories like "Friends, Family, Coworkers...."
Now some of your contacts may be in these categories or the whole lot may just be under "All Contacts"
The secret is to have all your contacts in "My contacts"
You do that by going to where all your contacts are located (in my case under "All Contacts")
Choose Select All and then select move to My Contacts
Sync and you have your contacts on your I Phone

Husband updated my iphone to iOS 5 and now I have lost all contacts, photos, texts, everything. How do I restore them?

Husband updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5 and now I have nothing, no contacts, no calendar, no photos, no texts , How do I get them back? I am lost without them. Feel like my phone is now just a phone.

The same thing happened with me. I was updating my husband's iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, and it lost his calendars and contacts. When I did the update, I let it do a sync and backup first.
Since that time, I tried to do a restore, and it only saw a back up from October, 2010. Where are backups stored? Are they invisible files on the mac? His laptop is a 13" macbook running 10.6.8.

Sync'd my I-Phone with PC- lost all contacts/phone #'s

My hdd failed last week so I am now working with a new email setup - no contacts, emails, phone #'s, etc. Today I forgot and synced my iphone - all my contacts and phone numbers are now gone from my phone. Is there a way to restore back to the last time I synced the phone?
iPhone 3 with 3GS software.

You are probably encountering your first major iOS upgrade. After you have upgraded the firmware, you get a blank slate. To get things back where they were, you will need to "Restore" your iPhone in iTunes. You will also need to sync it after the Restore so that the songs and other media files can get put back on.
Just plug your iPhone into your computer and click on your iPhone in iTunes Devices on the left side of the window. In the Summary tab that appears, you can click the Restore button. Follow the directions.

Updated and back uped phone last night and now have lost all photos and aps. What happened

backed up phone last night and lost all aps, contacts, and photos. What happened

The phone was not restored from the backup.
Frankly, unless the user actually copies the pictures off the device to the computer, there is no guarantee they will return. They should return when restored from backup, but it's not a risk that most intelligent people are willing to take if the photos are considered valuable.
Apps may not be syncing due to the "Sync Apps" option being deselected.

I had to get a replacement phone and have lost my contacts. The old phone was backed up on my laptop and not iCloud is there any way I can get them back?

I had to get a replacement phone and have therefore lost my contacts. Does anyone know how I can get them back considering that I backed up my old phone on my laptop and not iCloud?

Whilst restoring IPod 4gen, restored to new iPod instead of restoring to named iPod - now have lost all files, photos - how can I restore the named account?

Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.

I have a ipod touch. i updated the software and now have lost all music. havent got a backup or the songs as my laptop has broke how do i get the songs back ?

I put all my cd's on my ipod on my old laptop. now i did the update on itunes on my new laptop and all music has gone from the ipod.
Is there anyway of getting it back?

All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

I've updated my iphone 5 and have lost all contacts' where can i find them?

i/ve lost contacts after updating to ios6' what can i do?

If you dutifully backed up the phone prior to the update, be it on the iCloud or on a computer, merely resync the data back in.
If you did not, you can now start contacting your friends/family/acquaintances, cause the data originally on the phone is GONE.

I did a system upgrade (clean install) to Snow Leopard. I now have lost all of my Firefox bookmarks. Should they be somewhere in my backup files (on an external drive)? How do I locate them? And, how do I restore them to Firefox in the new system?

Where would the Bookmarks be filed in my system backup? Can I move them to the new system (Internal drive)?

Hi drnels,
Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.
Hopefully this helps!
