Whilst restoring IPod 4gen, restored to new iPod instead of restoring to named iPod - now have lost all files, photos - how can I restore the named account?

Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
Thanks

All of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

I have a ipod touch. i updated the software and now have lost all music. havent got a backup or the songs as my laptop has broke how do i get the songs back ?

I put all my cd's on my ipod on my old laptop. now i did the update on itunes on my new laptop and all music has gone from the ipod.
Is there anyway of getting it back?

All you can get back is your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will have to rerip the CDs unless you can find a copy.
When you restore or update an iPod, if synced media is not in the iTunes library it will not be on the iPod after the restore/update since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

ITunes is wiped clean. I still have my music files. How can I restore?

My laptop has a great habit of switching off dead without warning. No battery alert, no hibernation, just goes off. I presume it's because of an occassion like this that I find iTunes has completely wiped itself. Blank. As if it were installed for the first time. But all the music files remain where they were. So is there any way of restoring the playlists etc?
Many thanks.

Hi, Edward.
Something is amiss with your iTunes Library files which are needed for iTunes to know, among other things, the contents of your Music Library, where the files that make it up are located and your playlist and related information.
If you don't have a back-up copy of the .itl file - which would restore your Library - there are a few options for you to consider:
1) Search your computer for any and all of the .itl files it contains. Each .itl may contain references to a significantly, or completely, different library and following the steps described in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, you can check them and may be able to reconnect iTunes with the particular Library that you're looking for. Close iTunes for a half minute or so before restarting it each time you want to choose a different library file.
At this stage, skip any of the .itl files located in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder ... We'll get back to those, if necessary, in Step 3).
2) You can rebuild your Library with the procedure outlined in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
You will lose some of your playlist related information (playcounts, dates added, dates last played, etc.) - but will retain most of it (ratings, comments, etc.) - with this method. The actual contents of the Library should be up-to-date.
3) If you don't like the idea of losing the playcounts and such, have a look at this Knowledge Base article for one other option.
Using this method will restore your iTunes Library to the exact state it was in on the date of the most recent .itl file in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. The drawback is that any changes made since then - songs/playlists added and changes in playcounts, ratings, comments and such - will not be included in the restoration. But it will be easy to add newer songs by following the instructions linked to in Step 4).
4) One final option is starting all over again with your iTunes Library by by following the instructions in the Add to Library section of this KB article .
This will update iTunes with a list of all the files you add but will not maintain any of your playlists or related information.

I have lost all my contacts. Can't restore from Gmail.

So, I recently got an iPhone.
I transferred contacts from my android phone using a CardDav.
A while later I downloaded Cleandupes, an app to get rid of those pesky duplicates.
It trimmed my contacts from 1600 to 600 contacts. Great!
I deleted the app.
I then returned to my phone today and found that I have only 68 contacts left.
They are not on iCloud, they are not on iTunes. I tried to put in another CardDav to get them back from Gmail, to atleast start where I was a month or so back, but my phone says it already has this CardDav in action. Surely my Gmail still has my contacts!?
Any ideas what has gone wrong and how to solve it?
Thanks
Andy

Hello gooballala, thank you.
I went to the site and though my contacts were missing from there too, they allowed me to restore my contacts to the state they were in yesterday. No idea what has happened, but I think we're back to a good place.
Thanks very much for directing me that way.
Andy

I have lost all my contacts how can they be restored

Hi
My contacts got transfered to all my devices except my ipad. As they were not wanted on one iphone they were delteted from that device but fortunately icloud wasn't on on my ipad. So all of my contacts are still there but I cannot get them back onto my mac or my other iphone. I tried a sync and it showed all contacts being restored but when I checked the iphone about 100 out of 1000 were there. I also cannot find them on my mac.
Can anyone help?

Your contacts will be in whatever program you have selcted to sync.

Upgraded to FF 15.0 lost all my bookmarks, how can I restore them?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
If used as designed it is not possible to lose contacts.
