Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?!
Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?! Did Apple change/update something? Is it an iCloud issue? HELP!
We are itunes users just like you.
You should transfer all purchases to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some purchases in some countries:

I ordered the 'Creative Cloud" student version two days ago, but yet it only appears as the test version, though I already paid for the the first month. What can I do?

I went on a trip and when I came back almost all my ipad apps were gone(I suspect my dad). When I went to go look at my account it was as the same as the ipad, it had none of my other games on there. How do I get my account back to how it was
I kind of ran into the same issue when I checked my purchased apps on my iPad in the iTunes store. A bunch were not there. I then looked at iTunes on my computer and again, a bunch were missing. I realized I had not synched in quite a while. Once I synched everything was ok. As the poster above said, iTunes knows you have already purchased them so you can redownload for free. However, be aware that when you do red own load you will be asked to pay again, just say ok and the next popup will say that you have already purchased the app.
Lesson I learned - synch more often. Boy, I can't wait for IOS5...... -
My ipod touch 4 has been freezing/shutting down alot so i press the top and middle button to restart it. Its been a while since i plugged my ipod to itunes so i just did and there was a problem syncing/connecting to itunes? I had to restore it, and when i did everything is gone! All my contacts,& photos. I got my music back by syncing it. but i dont think i backed up my contacts/photos??? how can i get these stuff back? and i use pinger/textfree for texting so is there a way i can get contacts back with that?
- If you backed up then restore from backup. On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you have a backup dated before you had the problem. On the restored iPod go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and see if you have aback dated before the problem.
- You may be able to get back some of your photos if you do not have a backup:
Using Photo Stream
For more information about using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer, see Photo Stream FAQ.
After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
- For contacts if you do not have a backup is to sync them to the program (Google contacts) that you used before. If you do not have one then you can't get them back. -
I connected my phone to computer and when I did I needed an update on my phone. when I did this all of my music on phone disappeared. How do I get my music back?
Resync it from your iTunes library. Music is not included in your backup.

i need help i restored my phone not thinking that my husband did to and now i have all his stuff on my phone does anyone know how i get my stuff back and no didnt restore my phone
There are three kinds of "stuff" on your machine:
• Mac OS X - System, Library, and the standard Applications, and the hidden unix files
• Applications you added - these will mostly be in Applications, maybe a few in Utilities
• User files: These will be ONLY in the subdirectory off /Users with your login name -- nowhere else..
There are two kinds on "getting rid of it". Tilde ( ~ ) represents your username.
• I am keeping my machine under my control, I just don't want that stuff in my face.
For this, you can drag the contents of a few folders inside you Users folder to the Trash.
1) /Users/~/Documents
2) /Users/~/Downloads
3) /Users/~/Pictures
4) /Users/~/Music
5) /Users/~/Movies
• I am changing this machine to different ownership, and I want that stuff unrecoverable:
The most secure is to completely erase the Hard Drive and choose security option Zero out data, one pass. This takes several hours. You will then have to re-Install Mac OS X and any Applications you added.
Slightly less secure is to erase what you want to get rid of, then "Erase Free Space" with overwrite with Zeroes, one pass. Take somewhat less time, but there is a tiny possibility something might get re-used before it gets over-written. -
Had to restore, now how do i get my stuff back on my phone?
I hate sounding stupid, but apparently I am. I had to restore my iPhone 3GS to original settings. It said it was going to restore all my contacts, but it did not, it is like a brand new phone. On my iTunes, it shows all my apps, and I'm hoping it still has all my contacts, but how do I get all that back on my phone?
I knew I was depending way to much on my iPhone, I feel totally lost! Can I get back everything that was on my calendar, etc?As mentioned, you should have your contacts backed up on your computer or with a program, such as Address Book for Mac OS X, because they are not backed up with iTunes, even you did backup and restore. It only saves settings, app settings and saved games and that's pretty much it. If you only have the contacts on the iPhone, then you pretty much lost them.

My itunes comes up corrupted and won't let me into my music? How do I get my music back?
Is it the application that says it is corrupted, or is it the library? Precision and little details are important and helpful when you provide them with the question.
If it is the library, try rebuilding it.

A long time ago my friend gave me his music that was imported from CDs and such way back in 2004ish. I had all the songs that i have purchased through itunes and the ones he gave me on my ipod and i got a new computer. I managed to get use the DVD disc to get most of the usic back onto my sisters computer. Since i cant keep that computer for long, i need to trnasfer everything to my new computer. How can i do that? Also, my sisters computer says that my ipod is corrupt and cant restore it with a 1439 error. Any suggestions or help?

I have a new 27" mac with no slot for cd and want to know how I get scanned stuff from my cannon pixma mg3500 serries to my computer to e mail out?????
You can purchase a USB DVD player/drive for as low as $20 that I have seen, or the Apple version for more...or attach the scanner to the iMac and save the scans directly.

My computer restored MY phone with a different phones content how do i get my stuff back
I went to back up my phone, and my computer restored my phone with someone elses content.... how do i get all my stuff back? its like i pratically have a whole new phone.
This didn't happen by itself.
If there is more than one iPhone or iOS backup available with iTunes on your computer or with your iCloud account, you choose the backup you want to restore the iPhone with.
You must restore the iPhone again and this time select the correct backup. -

Pay attention to what you are doing and stop deleting it, problem solved.
Or as roaminggnome mentioned... make sure you have a backup. -
I have set up Iphone4s with my pc and ticked only required songs to sync. I clicked apply and it has been going for over 12 hours on my Iphone just displayimg loading. The capacity on my iphone shows a capacity of 6.3gb used out of 13.6 Am i doing something wrong ?
Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ... -
Firefox will not allow me to view my own domains. Other people can see them.How do I get access?
Every since I got my new computer, running windows 7, firefox will not allow me to see my own domains. If I unplug Netgar and plug directly into the Wild Blue modem, I can see them with IE or Chrome - but still not with Firefox.
My Old computer, running XP can see my domains via the Netgear router. Computers running Vista cannot
GoDaddy is my host.Hi cor-el,
Thanks for the reply. I tried those things with no result. Then I followed the link you sent and found something that MIGHT be the answer if I can find someone to show me how to "send a ping" and "define the subnetmask."
I have no idea what a subnetmask is, let alone how to define it!
But I do feel that the problem has some connection to the router. My old computer has one IP address, while the 3 that won't work all share a different one.
It would really help if I spoke "compuetreze," but I don't.
Thanks again,
Marte
