Update deleted everything on iphone and itunes
updated iphone to 4.2.1 and it cleared all my sms and contacts like a new phone. i updated itunes and it cleared my itunes folder like an empty library, with no apps or anything. just have the names of albums and songs but no artwork.
Called apple and they said nothing they can do sorry for the inconvienence. There must of been a problem with the installation. over 20gb of music and 2 years worth of texts and contacts.
There must be another way of finding them? other than checking previous backup date as thats deleted as well. appreciate all help, thanks
All of my contacts suddently disappeared on my iPhone! One evening they were there, the next morning they weren't!! Over 400+ contacts...
I can't find them anywhere!

Delete Everything on Iphone without itunes ?
HELP, Is it possible to delete everything and reset my iphone 2.0 without using itunes. If I click restore on itunes, it wants to install 2.0.1 which I dont want.
How is this possible.
Thanks!If you just want to clear it off settings/general/reset - erase all content and settings. Although I can't think of any reason NOT to install 2.0.1; it's a lot more stable than 2.0. Unless the phone is jailbroken, of course.

I updated os on my iphone and itunes did not transfer my apps, what can i do?
I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, in the processs itunes asked me if i wanted to transfer my purchased apps to my iphone, I clicked on transfer, however itunes did not transfer the apps and removed them from my iphone. How can i recover the apps I purchased?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

Never once has my phone updated without deleting everything. It says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. I can't call for help because my phone is frozen on the screen with iTunes. On line live chat won't chat until I give them my serial number which I can't get to because its frozen and can't call for the same reason!! Omg! Someone please help me!?
Morning AppleHlumamkhululi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In most cases, the connected iPod needs to be restored.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

Best of luck,

Apps in iPhone and iTunes can not get updated.
Apps store show 10 updates. But there is nothing can be seen in the update. Check the updates fails every time both in iPhone and iTunes .
Apps store show 10 updates.
Which App Store?
The AppStore for MacOS X apps
or the iTunes Store AppStore?
The updates you are seeing in the MacOS X AppStore would be unrelated to the IOS updates.
So where are you seeing updates? -

I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen. I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself. Am I correct? -

You may need to try this More than Once...
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work. -
Why after update Iso 5 by iPhone and not open, without using Itune. Just screen keep show apple logo for few hours already.
Try to reset - Press both the home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears.

I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...
I've been getting the same message for like an hour now. Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end. They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.
