Synced new phone with old phone settings. Can I undo?

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to a 4. I used the 4 for three months before I synced it to my iTunes. (I just used iCloud for contacts...etc). When I plugged in my new phone it synced to the settings from my 3gs. How do I get all of my photos, messages and contacts back? Can I "undo" the restore if I it was never backed up to my computer in the first place?
Can taking it to the Apple store help?

Oh too bad. Wish you good luck tomorrow then. Hope you retrieve them. If not, at least you learned something from it.

I accidentally synced my iPhone with old iPod settings and I can't get my old iPhone settings back, what can I do

I attached my new iPhone to my iTunes account for the first time and it came up with an option to sync my old iPod touch settings with my new iPhone. Thinking this would mean that it would transfer all my music and pictures from my old iPod to my new I clicked it. So now my iPhone is all screwed up with no music, no contacts, and my old pictures. How do I get it back to my old settings? Or at least clear everything and start over with my iPhone settings.

The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that is used for syncing with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the other iOS device. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone - not many hours or days later after significant use.
All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Whatever you had selected for transferring music with your iPod Touch now applies with your iPhone. If you had/have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes, the same music in your iTunes library selected to be transferred to your iPod Touch should have been transferred to your iPhone. This occurs after the backup is transferred. All content that was on your iPhone is now gone - replaced with the backup for your iPod Touch.
To start over as a new iPhone, you need to restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup. After the iOS is re-installed, select as a new iPhone for the restore option.

Quickest way to sync new ipod with old one?

Hi all - I have not been able to find an answer to this specific circumstance, so I'm hoping someone here can help... Here it is:
I have two Nanos (we'll call them "new" and "old"). All of the music that is on the "old" Nano is on my MacBook, in iTunes. I'm not switching computers, fyi.
Because I have thousands more songs on my computer than are on the Nano, I would like an easy method for putting all of the songs that are on the "old" device onto the "new" device (easier than manually locating them in iTunes and adding them to "new" Nano).
The solution might have something to do with syncing, I dunno. Should I select "sync music" on the "old" device? If so, what does that do and what is the next step for adding those exact songs to my "new" device? Whatever the answer, please spell it out for me. Thanks!

Nevermind. Found my answer here: Transferring a playlist from one ipod to another

Syncing new iphone with old account without reciving old data

I got a new iPhone. my old one crashed and was replaced. I'm using my old apple id. I want to sync my new iPhone to iTunes but I don't want to sync all the data already stored on iTunes from the previous iPhone. so actually, I want to sync my iPhone like it's it first syncing to iTunes. I want iTunes to receive contacts, apps etc from the iPhone and not the other way around. problem is that the apple id I'm using was already synced with the previous iPhone. could that be done?
thank you

Syncing new ipad with old

how do i get data from old ipad to new ipad?

If you sync and backup with iTunes.....
Transfer all purchases into iTunes, backup your old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time. Then plug in the other iPad, restore from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes in order to put all of your apps, photos, music, movies, etc, on the device. The data is contained in the backup, but your media resides in your iTunes library.
If you have gone PC free and you only use iCloud.....
Backup the old iPad one last time and then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad when you are presented with that option during activation. All of your data and content will download onto the iPad when you restore from the iCloud backup.

Syncing new computer with old music files with Iphone.

Hello all, recently I got a new computer and transfered all my old music files over and updated my itunes on my new pc. I also de-authorized my old pc and authorized my new pc. However, when I plug in my Iphone into my new computer it doesn't seem to be syncing at all. I've also added a new album to my music files on my new pc and since my iphone isn't syncing, the songs haven't shown up on my phone. I was wondering does anyone have a solution to this? or what I need to do to have my new pc syncing with my iphone?
Thanks.

This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
3 - ???
4 - profitt!
might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod syncing without problems on one computer.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed. How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed. How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer? When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
