TS4036 I received a message this morning to download new software on my IPhone. I did so but all my contacts were lost! I did not know I was supposed to have backed them up on ICloud

I downloaded the new apple software and it lost all of my contacts! I am a senior citizen and didn't know I was supposed to download everything to ICloud. Can someone help me restore all of my phone numbers? Oddly, the recently used numbers are there. I called apple support and they couldn't help. How can it not be safe to download an apple update on an apple IPhone?

You shouldn't have lost them but soz your gunna have to add em again

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

Unless you have a pre-DH backup of your iphone and/or Contacts to restore to, you can add this to your list of grievances when consulting a divorce attorney.
Or get him to buy you a nice dinner at least!

Suddenly all my contacts were replaced by my brothers. How do I get mine back?

restore with a backup made of the device
or sync it with itunes then you should be able to get all contacts from the source you sync contacts with
and apps you can always get back by clicking purchaes in app store on the device itself

I just received a text message on my iPhone 4s running iOS7 and all my contacts were deleated

All my contacts are done... I pulled out my phone to read the text, no names appeared just numbers. Looked at my contacts...all gone.

I have put new software on a iphone 4 and it had erase the contact can i get then back

help me

If you've been using the device as designed, contacts would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, simply sync them back.
Otherwise, a backup should have occurred prior to the update and this hopefully contains your contacts. Restore the backup.

TS1347 My college cancelled my outlook/exchange email account because I graduated. Turns out all my contacts were saved to outlook and I didn't know, is there a way I can get them back without being able to restore the email account?

Because I graduated, IT support at my college deactivated my email account with outlook/exchange. I wasn't aware, but all my contacts were saved to that account and now they are gone. I have tried to contact my college to see if they can restore it and they haven't responded so I am wondering if there is a way to get them back without having the exchange email account restored. I have looked on iCloud and there are nowhere near as many contacts as I should have saved there. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

If you do not have the contacts accessible on a computer, iOS device or service like iCloud then they are gone unless you can get them from your school's IT department.

If you're referring to iMessages, then the problem is that Apple is having server issues. If the problems your having are with standard SMS, post back with further details.

Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others. Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else. I opened Applications and got the icon back. Thanks for responding.

How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529 , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade. I have never had problems with iTunes in the past. Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?

It's a real message.
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

I downloaded new software, per message that appeared on phone this morning. 7.something

I downloaded new software, per message that appeared on phone this [2-25-14) morning. Crashed at the "agree to privacy policy" stage. What can I do?

Reset your device, then try again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
