TS1474 Synced another device to mine, lost everything!! HELP?!

I plugged my Iphone 5 into my computer for the first time. My husband had already synced his, however, I didn't realize that it had named his device with my name. I selected my name to sync my device and it synced all of his stuff to mine. Thus, deleting all of my stuff. I hadn't made an icloud account yet, I was able to restore my apps through my itunes account (which i could care less), but is there a way to get all of my pictures back??!! HELP!!

Hopefully you've backed your iPhone up to iCloud.
If so, get a successful restore to go through in iTunes, once finished and to the "Hello.. slide to unlock" screen, go through the set up assistant until you see "would you like to... set up as new, restore from iTunes, restore from iCloud.. choose restore from iCloud, then sign in with you Apple ID and password, and hopefully there is a back up in there.
Hope this helps. 

I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..

I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

Synced iphone to PC and lost everything

My husband synced his iphone on his sister's PC not realizing that you cannot sync to another person's computer. He lost everything on his iphone, but says he clicked "backup" before syncing. All of his info should be on his sister's computer, right? Is there a way to get his info back from her computer to his phone (contacts, calendar, photos, apps, etc)? I am kind of afraid to plug his phone back into her computer now without some guidance. Any help?
Thanks-

This does not happen without ample warning. The first warning provided is the iPhone is associated with another iTunes library. This must be followed by manually selecting Sync Music under the Music tab or Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and when doing so, a warning is provided indicating that doing so will erase all iTunes content on the iPhone first. This involves iTunes content on the iPhone only - everything on the iPhone is not erased with doing so.
Unless Sync Photos is selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer along with selecting photos on the computer's hard drive to be transferred to the iPhone followed by a sync, photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with are not erased from the iPhone, nor are any photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which are not included with the iTunes sync process.
Unless Sync Contacts is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and a supported address book application on the computer is selected, contacts on the iPhone are not touched. The same for Safari bookmarks and calendar events.
The iPhone's backup does not include any iTunes content - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps, and the backup does not include any photos transferred from your computer. All iTunes content on the iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - the computer the iPhone is normally synced with. All photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with should remain on that computer as well.
Where is your husband's computer? Forget about his sister's computer. He needs his computer to restore all content on his iPhone as it was before.

I have a Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S My wife has a iPad and iPhone 4S How do I sync her devices and mine to mine and never the twain shall meet?

Please can any one advise?
I have a Macbook Pro 15" mid 2012, I also have a iPhone 4S which I sync with iTunes.
Now, my wife has a iPad and a iPhone 4S.
I would like to sync her iPad and iPhone together (Contacts, Calenders etc)
and I sync my Macbook with my iPhone 4S together
But never the twin shall meet. I do not want her contacts and calender on my devices and she does not want my contacts and dates on her devices.
We both have seperate apple id's
All I can think of is set up a guest account for her, install iTunes on that account and put her on that. However it no longer os a guest account but hers.
Thank you for reading this, all advice gratefully received
Mike T

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

Backup error before iOS update - Lost everything - HELP?

Hi all,
I have a problem like many others: while updating iPhone to iOS 5, iTunes encountered a backup error (-50) and I lost all data (photo, video, notes, contacts) saved after the last backup (more than 1 year ago).
Talked with Apple Genius, it seems there is no way to recover lost data from my iPhone... this is very sad.
But I ask if someone has found maybe a solution: is there a chance maybe iTunes left some temporary files (I'm using Windows version) that I can scan? It's extremely important to recover the notes.
Hope someone can help.
thanks in advance

Syncing Windows Contact List - Contacts Lost. HELP!!!!

I just replaced my older computer and of course updated the operating system to Windows 7. In the old XP environment Outlook Express was bundled and I used the Windows contact list and it synced flawlessly with my Iphone (3GS).
Well I just did my first sync using the newer operating sytem now running the Windows Live Mail that replaced Outlook Express and although I migrated my contact list to the new Windows Live, it won't sync with my phone, so all of my contacts are gone from my phone.
Can anyone help? Itunes and the Iphone won't recognize the Windows Live contact list? Thanks in advance.

My MacBook is too old to support the IOS7 upgrade on my iPhone and iPad. I am now unable to sync my devices to my computer. Help!!

I have an older MacBook (maybe 6 years old) and it currently has the "most recent version" of iTunes which is 10.6.3. But iOS7 requires 11.1 or newer! So now what do I do? I can't sync or backup my devies to my computer anymore. And sadest of all, I can't upload music to my phone!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Have you:

- Tried a reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

My sync key is still the same and I didn't even reset the sync but my data is lost. I don't know how? I installed v13.0 while I was using 14.0 earlier.

I had only one device where I used the Firefox Sync. I installed Windows 8 release preview(fresh install) and entered the sync key I saved using the previous install of my Firefox(v 14.0).
Then I installed Firefox on my Windows 8 installation with an older version of Firefox(v 13.0).
I got a message saying it was your first sync, but I have used it earlier also. Many times I have synced my laptop with the data on the server after every fresh install and it worked. I got all my data every time but this. Now, I tried it twice by removing this device from my sync list, but of no use. And I'm sure I haven't reset the data on sync server. And no one except me has access to my laptop and even the sync key.
Do I have any chance of getting my data? Whether be it by installing again v14.0 or something else. I will really appreciate for any help given.

Hi!
Unfortunately Sync is not intended to use as a back up service. While in general it works just fine, data in the servers is not there permanently and sometimes it get's deleted (servers are just for transport not for storage).
My recommendation moving forward is to create a local back-up or to sync another device so you have the copy in multiple devices.
Sorry about it,

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:
