TS4108 I have recently done a software update on my phone, when complete I could not get the phone to work and the icon showed I had to connect to I-tunes. I then lost some recent data and photos. If they are backed up to the cloud how do I recover them?

When I completed my last software update directly on my phone I didn't realise I would then be prompted to do and I-tunes update that would wipe my phone. There seemed to be no turning back so I lost some data and photos. I'm assuming these will be backed up to the cloud but have no idea how to retrieve them.
The explanation given on the support community is a bit complicated and beyond my capabilities! Julie Malkin

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

Restore them from where?
The pic sync is one way - computer to iPhone.
You should be storing all of your photos on your computer. Jut sync them to your iPhone.

Recently my MacBookPro locked up on startup. Could not get past a certain point of progress bar. I had upgraded to Yosemite few weeks back, with no issues. I ended up doing a Recovery with Time Machine and I got all my apps, photos, documents, etc. back okay --- except I got error messages that my "registration for Photoshop (I use CS4 Extended) and Photo Mechanic are no longer working". I worked on Photoshop first, and tried (several times) to fix it with their online help suggestions. Nothing worked.
Is there a simpler way to "get my licenses/registrations back"??? I am also going to contact Camera Bits about the Photo Mechanic issues. Thanks

Same problem and for months now. I haven't been able to find a solution, but I suspect that's because I don't know exactly what's wrong.

My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone. How do I recover my contacts?

First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...). If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes. After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

How do i get my contacts back? they are backed up by i cloud but when I "MERGE" only the new ones are there and not the old ones

Hi sfuentes,
You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

Flipping photos so they are back to front.

Is there a way to 'flip' a photo in iPhoto 6? For instance, if the subject is facing to the left, can ou flip the photo so they are facing to the right? The rotate option just turns the whole thing upside down, which is not what i want to do.

This is not a feature of iPhoto - export the photo and use preview - tools menu - and reimport the flipped photo

I have just done a software update and now I can not open my itunes. How can I open itunes?

Hi, I have a macbook pro os x, version 10.6.8
While doing a software update, I was asked to quit itunes to download the update. Now I can not open itunes. The icon is still there, but it just bounces up and down when I click on it. What is happening there? And how can I open itunes? Do I need to down load itunes again?

Look at the Apple ID and the "YOU CAN BE REACHED..." entries. Make sure none of these are shared with your partner.

I just changed devices - and my photos are gone - I think they are backed up on the cloud - how would I know

I recently changed devices - my old device had 1200 photo's on it and I believe it was backed up to the cloud. My old device now has 0 photo's on it and I can't seem to restore to it. Help.

1.) Thank you.
2.) Your answer is partially correct - well mostly.
While I was waiting I tripped over an old question on the icloud community about restoring an iPhone 4 from the cloud. I could see that the bulk of my 5gb was backup and surmised that most was photos - so as the iPhone 4 question stated the phone needed to be reset and then restored from the cloud. Doing this, allows you to see the different backups that went to the cloud and dates. The concept was from the old IOS - (this is for iOS version 8.1) Tap Settings > General > Reset > all content and settings . Once done, restore from your cloud backup.
I want to back this phone up to the computer one last time with the photos sent to the cloud - and then wipe it again and set it up as a spare.
So you see, your answer was mostly correct - Wipe and restore from the cloud. The photo's are downloading as I write this and I believe I am still in the 30 window for camera roll.as well.

I updated my iPod to ios7 but now I have none of songs that I've already paid for on the ipod, but they are still in my PC. How can I reload them on the ipod?

I have just updated my ipod to ios7 and thought my music content was backed up in the process, but find all of the songs that I have already paid for in the past are missing from the ipod. They are still on my pc, but I don't know how to transfer them to the ipod. Any help will be much appreciated.

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

Bought 5s this morning. sales person could not get touch id to work and said I could do it later. Fingerprints is grayed out in settings. Help!

Unable to activate touch id on new 5s.Could not do it the Verizon store this morning and sales person suggested I do it later. Fingerprint is grayed out in settings. Any advice?

You have to have a passcode enabled first. I was having trouble with this as well but I figured it out. I think it's because you will need the passcode to modify the fingerprint settings. Y'know, for security.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Could not get it to connect. Changed router's setting to Channel 6 and IPad connected. Even after 6.0.2 it will not connect to some home networks although it will to public networks e.g. McDonald's.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Downloaded iOS 6.0.1. Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router. Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo). Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected. I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6. Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.

Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.
