Upgraded from ios4 to ios 6 and lost all apps i had downloaded and some photos?

I upgraded an ipad2 from ios4 to ios 6 and once all was done, all my apps, purchased and free ones were gone - and some of my pictures.  Any idea? I do not dare doing another "resore backup" ...   Any help?

A few comments:
You will eventually be able to retrieve all your apps.  You will be able to go to the App Store on your iPad, click "Updates" in the lower right, click "Purchased" and re-download them from there (but be careful - download them one at a time).
It sounds like the reason the photos and apps did not appear is you may have run out of memory on the iPad.  The new iOS offers more features, and is somewhat bigger than the old.  Check Settings > General > Usage and see how much space you have left and what the big space consumers are.  You should do housekeeping to get an absolute minimum of 10% of the space on your iPad free.  For example, if you have a 16GB iPad, you would need absolutely no less than 1.6GB free.
You said "I do not dare doing another restore ...".  On the contrary, you should update your iOS at every opportunity to avoid these giant updates such as you just did.  You went from iOS 4 to 6, which means it's been over a year and a half since your last update.  If you did them more frequently, they would be less dramatic.

  • Upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3 and now photos are no longer in photo book

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded my copy of Aperture from version 2 to 3 and after my library had updated everything seemed fine until I looked at a photo book I was working on. It appears that all of the photos that I had placed in the book are no longer there, and I am now left with a blank template.
    The album I built up of photos to include is still there, they just aren't arranged on the pages of the book. Has anyone else experienced this, and if they have are there any suggestions for a solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

  • Since I upgraded my IPad to iOS 5, I lost all my ebooks and all the music I had in the IPod. How can I recover them? I need urgent help.

    After my upgrade to iOS 5, all downloaded ebooks disappeared from my IPad. All the music in the IPod are also lost. I cannot turn on location services. What can I do to restore these items? Amechy

    Upgrading either an iPad, iPod, or iPhone to iOS 5 deletes all content on the device to upgrade.  You will need to restore the iPad from a backup in iTunes to restore your content and settings.  Connect your iPad to iTunes, and right click the iPad when it appears left bar in iTunes.  There is an option there to restore from a backup.  Select a backup and all your content and settings should be moved back to the device.

  • After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, Firefox lost all my stored passwords, never asks to save them, even though I've checked box for saving them, have made sure history is not cleared, and am not in Private Browsing.

    In Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 does not ask to save passwords, and does not save, them, even though I checked the box to save passwords. I have confirmed that clearing history is not on and that I am not in Private Browsing. This is so frustrating, it almost makes me want to go back to Vista. I have looked at all the suggestions to fix the problem in "Help" and have followed the suggestions, and none of them help.

    I have the TX2 1012NR and its can upgrade just fine!  Here is a few recommendations "only if u have the HP Upgrade program disks"
    If you have them you can install a clean copy and delete everything... Do not use the use me first disk included because it prompts you to install an older BIOS....  Just use the windows 7 upgrade disk and start the process.  The clean install clears your entire drive but does not void your warranty!   When you use the use me first disk after the install it actually loads everything else needed to get you up in running.  The touchscreen driver and the HP Mediasmart programs will have to be downloaded from the HP support site.  Once again its recommended that if there were any programs installed delete them do not try to update them!  This causes issues and countless errors.  Specifically with touchscreen drivers etc uninstall them before installing the ones from HP support.  I found this was not the easy way to do it but the best way...  I also recommend that when doing any sort of BIOS update that you remove your Battery and leave it connected to a power cord only!  Last but not least if you really mess up and its under warranty... Send it to HP they will set it back up to factory defaults under Windows Vista with the more up to date BIOS installed.  I hope my information helps! Sure you might loose some programs but in the end your computer runs faster and smoother because all the programs installed are made for Windows 7....  Also they did release the Touch Pack for download from the Microsoft website here is a link telling more about the features and benefits and how to get it as it is a totally free download...

  • Upgraded from 5.3 to 5.6: lost all my presets!  (W7 x64)

    I have my catalog, but all my user develop presets are gone. I'm searching my computer but am not finding them. Is there a way to extract a preset that was applied to a RAW? In the history, I see the name of the preset i applied. How can I recover them?
    Thanks
    Alex

    I understand that. My User Presets may still exist, but I can't find them in a windows search. I think the 5.6 installer erased them?
    It did default to an older catalog, but I just opened my latest catalog from an external drive so my recent work is represented but my PRESETS are no where to be seen. I can reinstall some of my purchased Develop presets, but it sucks that my latest tweaked user presets are gone.

    Hello hsielglad,
    Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7.  If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

    I presume that you mean that the switches do not light up as appropriate when you select a Patch in MS?
    If so, in Layout Mode, select each of the buttons in turn, and check that they are a) Assigned to the correct MIDI CC number etc, and b) that "Send Value to" has the correct Port selected.

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

  • My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    Her contacts would be wherever she put them
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

    I would be ideal to have a step by step approach I can follow.

    A 2G can only go to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

    i connected my iphone 5 to my computer for the first time since i got it and it didnt give me any option and just started to restore it from my iphone 4s. ive now lost all my pictures that were on it. Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Can you try to use another computer?
    If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
    Did you try to put it in recovery mode?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

  • I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and can't upload from iCloud

    I've upgraded from iPhone 4 to 5, and I'm got as far as 'restore from iCloud'. And it says iOS 6.1.3. Required. So i went back to freshly backed up iPhone 4 and checked that it had iOS 6.1.3 all ready. There's no updates on settings  icon

    Personally, when upgrading to a new device and wanting to download from a backup of the older device to set up the new device, I ALWAYS do the backup and restore from my computer's itunes.  It's much more reliable than icloud.
