Updated my Iphone, now pictures, texts and apps are gone from phone. Can i get them back? please help!

I sync'd it yesterday and today, then when updating it today its restored to factory settings and all apps, photos and texts have gone. looked in the i tunes library and in windows explorer (tells me last sync was 3 months ago!) to no avail. now when i try to restore it on itunes a box appears with there was an interruption with restore then a new box with the message restore error. any help greatly appreciated

"Any hope?"
There was if you used any of the backup strategies you listed in your first sentence. iTunes functions as the backup software for your iOS device. MobileMe similarly aacts as a backup if you need to restore your phone.
Since you chose to work without a safety net, it would seem you have lost all the contacts. That was a risk level you were comfortable enough with. The important take away here is that all computers need to be backed up. And there is more computer in your iPhone than the computers that flew a space ship to the moon.

I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

Have you failed to use the device as designed?
If using the iPhone as designed, contacts are synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. Pictures taken with the device would be copied off to the computer on a regular basis.
If you have been using the device as designed, simply sync the content back.
If you have not been using the device as designed, you can try restoring from the most recent backup. However, if that does not restore them, they are gone.

" but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
What does this mean?
How did you try to import those pics?
You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera. They are not part of the sync process at all.
I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

Hey ramsrocket,
To get back those apps, follow these directions:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
via: Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

Hi kamcop68,
If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

Contacts and calendar on the phone are gone. How can I get them back?

I have sync my iphone with google contacts and now the pre-existing data, contacts and calendar entrys are missing on the phone. The contacts from google contacts are there but none of existing contacts and dates. Can I get them back? or are they gone for good?

Well, certainly if you had 3 years of photos you have been importing them off the phone to your computer as recommended. Just synch them back.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

No you didn't.
Now everything is in the cloud
Except for anything you did not purchase in iTunes Store.
Only you iTunes purchases are in the cloud.
