Updated my phone and lost everything how do I get it back?

How do I recover my contacts, songs etc.

All of your data should be backed up in your iTunes library. So just plug in your phone and sync and all the data should go right into the phone again.

I restored my i p hone and lost everything, how do i get it back?, HELP

Hi All,
I am really frustrated, last night my phone decied to turn itself off and on again and when i looked at my messages they had all disappeared. :-(
So i took someones advice this morning and clicked restore, i was told this would restore all the stuff from my last back up which was two weeks ago, so great i thought this would work. But instead it backed up from today and restored from the back up today not the back up two weeks ago so now i have lost all my pictures and my phone has gone back to a new user phone. So all the settings have been restored the whole lot. I am very upset about this and I wandered if anybody knew how i would get all my things back
Please help and comments greatly appreciated
Thank You
Sarah

A simple answer to your question is "No".
For the future, make sure that "automatic sync" is un-checked in your iTunes and next time you want to restore from a backup, right click on your phone's name and select "restore from backup" before syncing your phone to iTunes.

I downloaded the new itunes, and lost everything, how do I get it back?

How can I get all my stuff back in Itunes? I'm very frustrated!

I also found this article, which would help if it did not delete your files, just erased the library...

I restarted my disabled iphone and lost everything how do i get it back

Please help me with easy steps

Restore the content from the last backup you made.
If you didn't back it up, it's gone.

HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever). Backing up content to icloud but would not quit. Screen would not disappear. Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING. Can I get it back?

Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever). Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit. Remained on that screen for HOURS. Finally disconnected phone from computer. Still would not go away--just the "circle of death." Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps). Can I get them back? Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
So far I have tried the following to no avail:
Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
Reinstalled the latest itunes.
Reset the ipod.
Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

My computer crashed and lost everything How do I get all the data off my Iphone to a new computer?

I lost everything on my computer. My iphone 4 has all the things i need on it when i try to sync it itunes tells me it is going to clear the phone I have already atherized the new computer.

You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
the ipod is not a storage device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchaes.
The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

Virus=PC recovery=Lost everything, how do I get it back?

I got an adware virus which caused havac on my computer not realizing a PC Recovery wasn't the same as a system restore I made a whole mess of things. Now that I have things running again I wanted to sync my ipod with the songs I had just purchased right before my crash **since itunes only lets you here 10 sec of a song I was using playlist.com at the same time to hear the whole version before I purchased on itunes, well thats where I got the virus from which crashed my computer**. Anyways when I reinstalled itunes everything was gone!! I never backed up library cause I didn't know I could lose it. I got the ipod for my birthday in October and was so excited to get it I guess I missed the fine print somewhere. When I plug in my ipod and start itunes nothing happens, its like the ipod isn't connected. So I guess my question is how do I get the music I purchased and downloaded to itunes back? Shouldn't it be saved in my account some how?
Thank you for any help!
Sincerely, Frustated and pulling my hair out

Use your iPod and iTunes 8
With iTunes 8 you can transfer iTunes Store purchases that are synced with your iPod to any authorized computer. Let's say from your home to your work computer. Here are the steps to transfer purchases from your iPod.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of iTunes 8 and iPod software.
Authorize your computer by choosing Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes.
Attach your iPod to the computer that contains purchases.
From the File menu, choose Transfer Purchases from iPod.

I had a tile I used all the time and lost it-how can I get it back?

I really like the tiles in the new tab window. I used to have one for the local craigslist which is the site I go to the most. Somehow that tile got removed. Maybe a guest user on my computer deleted it. I don't really know, but I'd like to get it back. So, how can I add it or at least remove the delete setting so it will come back?

Maybe try to visit the site again. Then you might be able to add it back.

I just updated my iphone, and i lost everything. how do i get it back.

how can i resore the things i have bought to my computer. My computer had to get a new hard drive, but i still want to have the things i have bought back.

Try going to file-devices-restore from backup, if you dont have a backup then you may redownload past purchases (movies, music, apps, etc) from their respective stores by visiting "purchased" section.

There shouldn't be any problem but, if you are worried, do a backup before the update.

I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
What's going on?
I'm missing a ton of apps!
Pleae help me!

In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
I want my apps back.
Thanks,
Gaby

I have updated my iPad and lost everything can you please help me?

I have updated my iPad and lost everything because my only option on iTunes was to update and restore. The update was very strange because I pressed install, I had enough space for the update and I agreed to the terms and conditions. My iPad turned to a black page with a picture of connecting to iTunes, I couldn't get it off my screen even when I plugged it into iTunes. to update and restore my iPad was my only option and if I plugged my iPad out my screen would still say plug into iTunes. I haven't backed up my iPad for a few months but I need the most recent stuff on my iPad. I need my iPad for school. How do I fix this? And can Apple do anything to get it back? I am stressing out so much and I really need answers and I need them quickly. (Sorry if I sound rude but I'm freaking out about this)

You should be able to see all your Purchased Music in your iTunes Account and you can download that Music to your iPhone during a Sync. First step look under Purchases in iTunes.

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.
