Updated an app & lost a lot of work

I just updated an app that I used to make flashcards. It had close to 400 cards in it an the update wiped them out. I have to believe that they are in there somewhere. Can someone tell me if there is a finder type app on the ipad, or some other way to find the files. I still have the old version in itunes but have no clue how to figure out if my cards are in it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-Donna

Without a backup from the time when the data still has been on your iPad, you can't get your app data back.
The apps stored in iTunes on your computer just contain the program without any other personal data.
Check if you can find another backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices to restore from.
If you can't, maybe you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine and could be able to restore the old backup again. Details on that can be found here:
iTunes: About iOS backups

Update problem, App lost

After the connection lost during an update an App was lost on the phone (msecure)
The problem is, that I couldn´t reload it on the appstore. The install/open button is still not there. Switch on/off doesn´t work

For the wifi problem, try making a new location and renewing the DCHP lease. This seems to be working for a lot of people (including myself!). See here for the procedure:

Not sure about the app store problem; it may be a result of your flakey wifi connection. Fix the wifi problem first and see if that helps with the app store.

I added 3 apps to my 4s and my apple password worked fine on those..afew minutes later i tried to update an app and my password wouldnt work..i changed the password online on my computer and it works..but not on my phone

i added 3 new apps to my 4s.my password worked for these 3. and afew minutes later tried to update an app and my password would not work. i changed the password online on my computer and it works,,but my phone still wont.. i turned it off and on deleted the 3 apps and nothing still

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

Lost a lot of work.

I just lost an entire script i was working on because apparently i was using an old, free version of story.
When i updated, i could no longer log in on the desktop application, and when i checked if any of my documents were still there online, all i saw was a bunch of almost a year old files. Is there a way for me to get those documents back, or am i simply screwed here?
i really need the files back, as we are actually shooting this weekend, and i have almost no time to write the entire thing over again. Support is gratly appriciated.

Dear sunny, just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with this.
Just got everything back, and i can't stop smiling
You get a special thanks in the credits....no doubt ^_^
again, just Thank you

I can't update my apps - now they don't work at all

I don't really use apps on my blackberry but there are two that I use everyday, these are twitter and whatsapp . I don't know if they need updating but they have just stopped working all together, this has happened before but updating them seems to fix it. Now I can't get on to the app world to do this because is says that it needs wifi but I don't have this. Is there any way that I can get onto the app world just using the mobile Internet because this seems like such a silly idea for the people that don't have wifi!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BlackBerry World does not require a WiFi connection to work.
At Options > Device > Application Management, what version of AppWorld do you have installed?
You can delete it there.
Then, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Using your BlackBerry browser, go to www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install again.

Lost a LOT of WORK in a very strange way...

I just finished a long demo project (imovie 3.0.3) at 2 am last night.
I watched it and saved it 2 x , only on my external hardrive, no other back ups. And this morning I go to open it up, with the idea of putting it onto dvd and everything seems snafued:
My timeline is gone and all the clips are chopped up in the clips pane in 28 second chunks....
I've tried pasting everything back into order and each clip is somehow shorter than it used to be- my 2 min 10 sec video is reduced to like 30 seconds... Hair ripping experience.
I don't know where my edited audio is either...
I'm trying to figure out how to recapture everything without having to start all over...
More info: this past 2 weeks any time i opened i movie (after shutting the computer down) my work in progress file would automatically open up- it would ask" x amount of stray files in your project, do want to keep them or trash them" and I would say keep them; then it would bring another pop up saying " do you want to move clips into clip panes or leave files alone" and I would say move them to clip pane.
This morning my project did not come up so i went to go and open it up automatically and so i went through the steps to open it up in my files, and then the same questions come up....
A list of all my files, audio, video, photo etc is present in the list- but when i open it up all the clips are in the clip pane, with no audio and no timeline...NO VIDEO
Voila,
perhaps, just perhaps some clever person or some other tormented fellow has had this situation and can scoop me out my dementia's poop!!!
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sounds a little odd- but what do you mean by what formatting does my external hard drive pocess... It is Lacie 250 gig external hard drive ; my project was about 4 gigs alltogethere.
Since my last post i realized that these 0.28 sec. clips are all transitions- from the las clip to the next - it does not actually show me the " transition" icon neither in the pane nor if i drag it into the timeline; they are mini tansitions only.
I've also looked in my media files for my project and realized that that all these 0:28 clips are listed as transitions... there are no records of any actual movies.... my pictures are intact and my titles are as well../

Updated to ios6 lost wifi still not working even after resetting networks?

I've tried resetting the networks and changing the HTTP proxy to auto but no iphone users in my office have wifi connectivity after updating.

My suggestion is to see if Verizon will let you treat the modem as a simple modem and attach your own router to it.
I've found these Westells a pain to setup, and it took me once 2 hours to get through to a Mac specialist on Verizon's end to finally get the right setup on a customer's machine. I don't know that customer's number anymore unfortunately since this was a couple years ago.

After the software update the apps I bought are not working

What shut I do to make the applications work?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

My playlists disappeared after update? That's a lot of work!

installing the new Itunes did not save all of my music and saved NONE of my playlists.......and I wonder what to do, where to look, to find them?

try if this support article helps.

I updated the apps, cloud is still isn't working.

I updated the apps, it still isn't working.

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.

Why does it say Apple ID disabled when I try to update an app

Why does it say my Apple ID is disabled when I try to update an app.? My ID works for everything else. Also, I thought with the new iOS update that apps are supposed to update themselves but mine haven't.

On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.

IOS 5 download/app store password no longer works

I downloaded iOS 5 and now my password won't work in the app store when I try to update my apps. But the password works when I log out and in again on the phone and in iTunes on my computer. The only time it stops working is when the app store asks me to use it. I reset it a couple times and made sure when I signed in via iPhone and computer that all the info is the same. What is going on? I see this until I got prompted to reset my password:

Just migrated to my new 4s phone and after sync'ing the App Store is rejecting my password same as you.
I've logged out on my iTunes on my computer and on my phone, logged back in and resynced. No luck.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

I can not connect to the ITunes store. I have updated my apple ID and made sure that everything is set correctly. However, I can not purchase or update any apps no matter what I do. My partner has the same phone and hers works perfectly. I'm not sure how to sort this out. Please help
Thanks

I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

Updated an app & lost a lot of work
