Yosemite update has lost all my data

Last night I let Yosemite do an update. Im now on version 10.10.2. I have now lost ALL my data for every program on my mac book pro. No Email info at all, no photoshop data, no lightroom data from the last 17 years of photographic work.
To say I am disappointed with Apple is an understatment as I run a small business from home and rely on my Mac as I have done over the last 20 year. Apple no longer seen to give stuff about the customer and only seem interested in money. If I wanted very poor service I would have bought a PC.
anyone at APPLE read these forums as they certainly d

all of my data disappeared. All of the applications were still there but all of the keys had gone, all the settings had gone. I phoned Apple and sat in the que for 45 mins listening to music but eventually got through and have restored to my original settings from a back up. Thats another few hours of my life I won't get back..... everything now works except photoshop ffs! If u can fix that then your a better man than me.... Error 150:30.
completely disillusioned with apple theses days but appreciate any help possible

While updating I lost all my data photos etc can anyone suggest how to restore my lost data on my iPad 2

Hi I had updated and now have the iOS 7 but in the process lost all my precious data photos videos notes etc
Can anyone suggest how to restore how to recover the lost data

Restore from your iTune or iCloud backup if you have one.

I think my wife has lost all her data after Restoring incorrectly .. can anyone help? I will add a longer explanation

Help ... My wife got an old laptop working again today. On there was an iTunes which she hadn't used for a year or more.
1. Marie plugged her 6 month old iPhone 4s into iTunes (the first time she had done this)
2. iTunes said she needed v 10.5 or above
3. She downloaded iTunes 10.7
4. She plugged iPhone back into iTunes
5. her iPhone showed the iTunes install screen
6. The screen message said an iPhone has already been synced with this iTunes (in fact it was an iPod Touch). She was asked whether she wanted to add this as a new iPhone, or if she wanted restore to "Marie's previous iPod Touch settings?"
7. You can guess what happened next. Marie mistakenly pressed Restore.
8. After she had done Restore, the phone asked her if she wanted to join iCloud and use location services etc. She clicked yes. However, by that time I am pretty sure she'd blanked the content on the iPhone by the mistaken restore from the old Touch.
8. We now have no photos, videos, contacts or text messages on the iPhone.It has been Restored with the content on what was a more or less blank iPod Touch.
QUESTION: I think she has replaced all of our content with, basically, nothing. We had many cherished photos and videos on there. Is there ANY way we can get our photos, videos etc back? Marie doesn't think she did a backup before Syncing her iphone.But would the phone have backed up previously, without her knowledge? Given that she had never plugged it into iTunesbefore...
First time we've used the Community. Marie is utterly distraught at the thought that we've lost tons of videos of our 2 year old daughter.
Can anyone help?

Have you rebooted mac? Then don't, until you checked the temporary directories. If your Aperture library went offline for some reason, Aperture may have written the images to the temporary caches.
Check these system folders, if you find any iPhone images
Quit Aperture.
Open a Terminal window and enter the following two line:
open $TMPDIR
This will open a Finder window with cryptically named folders. Dive into them and look for Aperture's Media cache folder. Are there any image files in the folder "com.apple.Aperture"?
Sometimes Aperture will write to that directory, if it cannot write to the Aperture library.
Also check the following location:
open /tmp
Added: Is there something special about the photos? Are they HDR photos, or taken i burst mode?

HT4859 I forgot my passcode and then my phone reset and backed up but the icould its updated back to has lost all my data.... How can i get this back?

I recently forgot a new passcode on my phone so it became locked. i went to rest this via itunes but when it came to restore the phone non of my data including contacts, apps, messages, photos etc are available. It seems to have restored to a back up from after the phone was wiped. How can i get these back?

There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway. Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now? For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS. If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

HT1766 After restoring yesterdays icloud back up one of my Apps has lost all its data. How can I get the data back as its important to me.

I accidentally added a passcode to my ipad mini after yesterdays IOS7 update. I then promptly forgot the passcode (I think apple secretly changed it really).
Its taken me 2.5hours to figure out how to reset my ipad after discovering there was no other way of getting into my ipad around the passcode.
Luckily my ipad backs up every evening to icloud so i had a new back up sat waiting for me.
Annoyingly, itunes wouldnt let me restore the factory settings as the "find my phone" thing was switched on. The only way to turn it off appeared to be via my ipad which I was unable to get into.
I eventually figured out how to restore it without this problem, by pressing the home button as I turned it on and then getting itunes to recognise it as a new ipad and restoring its settings that way.
Following this it was relatively simple to restore my icloud back up.
Everything appears to be here, my calander, my contacts etc. All my apps have been restored and Im yet to find any app that has missing data except for one (naturally the one that is most important to me).
This one app appears to have been returned to my ipad but it no longer has any data attached to it. I have lost everything. Payment info, Client info etc.
Is there any way of recovering the data. I presume its floating around the ether somewhere given I automatically back up to icloud every night.
Cheers

IPod photo has lost all its data

I went to use my iPod as usual and found that it was blank! Not only has 30gb of music disappeared but also 10gb of photos. It didn't crash or do anything weird, and still seems to work as normal. I've tried leaving and going back, turning it off and on again, no luck
Another thing that happens is that the power off doesn't seem to work reliably. Sometimes I hold the button for ages and it still doesn't turn off.
Could this be related?
Is the power off an issue I ned to get fixed?
Thanks!

This is becoming a regular occurrence for me...
I have a 60GB iPod Photo, and this happens if I leave it unused for a day or so. When I start it up, all my songs are gone, but my photos are always still there. I reset to my heart's content, and nothing.
But as soon as I plug it into my computer, they're all back. I haven't taken it in to be checked out, but it seems very weird...I don't know if a future update will address this or not.

Adobe Updater has lost all but one registered products

I have a range of Adobe products registered. I recently installed Dreamweaver CS6. This has overwritten this list on the Updater, so eg Photoshop and Illustrator do not now appear on it, and they receive no updates. Equally, the Dreamweaver install does not appear on my on-line list of registered products here at Adobe. Can soemone please tell me how to reset this?

Contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and see if they can provide guidance or adjust your account data.

Update has lost all my settings including bookmarks which I urgently need

Downloaded & installed update - restart had lost home page & bookmarks - some of which I urgently need, and regenerating the list will take me a VERY long time. Also, when I try to give feedback I'm told I need to download "latest version" (so what's the point of updates) Bookmarks etc. still lost - feedback page not responding to allow posting of comment. How do I get my settings back - this is URGENT.

As long as you didn't do a complete uninstall of Firefox 3.6, they should still be around.
First, you may want to make a backup of your profile folder. It contains not only your current bookmark list, but a folder of backups. But these are not saved forever. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
The following article has suggestions for recovering bookmarks: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks#os=win&browser=fx4 Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].

Sync them from the supported application on the computer you are syncing them to, or iCloud or other cloud service.

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

I updated to Mountain Lion and Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. Where are they?

I updated to Mountain Lion and now Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. What happened and where are they?

-------- "Your RSS data is not lost. You can find it in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS folder."
it's just as good as lost, if there is no way to load the info in that folder into a new reader.
i followed that path, ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS, and I have almost 40 rss feeds. that means
there are nearly 40 folders that I would have to go into, one by one, and extract the pertinent
information, and import, one by one, into a new reader.
this is a problem that Apple created. I would have never used the mail.app as a reader
if I knew Apple was going to do this to us. And it makes you wonder what else Apple is
going to do to screw us loyal customers over. (why would they discontinue a feature, knowing
that it would mean lost data and a headache to their customers?)
does anyone have an automated solution to importing these files into a new reader?

I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 :(

I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way at all i can recover the data?! Help pls!!!

Actually, if you have never backed up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud manually, there are still possibilities that iTunes or iCloud has backed up your iPhone automatically: every time you sync the iPhone with iTunes, iTunes will back up your iPhone automatically; if your iCloud backup was enabled, every time your iPhone is connected with Wifi and a power source with screen-locked, iCloud will create a backup automatically. If you find the backups, but the backups are not up to date, and you don’t want to lose the data generated after the backups, you can extract the lost data from the backups using the iPhone backup extractor.
In addition, you can also try to use the iPhone data recovery software to scan and recover the data on your iPhone directly even if you have no backups of your iPhone.

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music back into my laptop , how can I do that. Pl help

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.
