How to get information back on my iPhone 4 after I updated to ios6?

Yesterday, I updated my iPhone 4 to ios6 and when I turned on the phone again, my contacts, text messages, notes, and pictures were all deleted! How did this happen? Why did Apple make it this way? How can I get these things back because I really need them.

Try using restore to default. Maybe this will recover your files/ iphone settings.

Yes, i agree with Cees, try to restore your default settings then turn it off within 2 to 3 mins then turn if on again. Hope your deleted files will back again

Perhaps this will help you.

  • Updated 4s to iOS6 won't stop restarting So i updated to iOS6 and as soon as it finished updating it did the mandatory restart but once it did this it never stopped doing it. Now i'll reach the lock screen and the background will say iPhone but as soon as i unlock it it freezes and restarts itself. Any help would be appreciated.
  • My itunes says it hasn't updated een though I updated it? I went to update my iphone and it said I had to update my itunes first and restart my computer (i have a macbook.) So I did all that and went to try and update my phone again and it still said I had to update my itunes first so I did it again and it is still not allowing me to update my iphone. It still says I need the latest version of itunes. What am I do wrong!
