IOs 6 update lost everything?

I just done the new iOs 6 update on my iphone 3gs and its lost everything, all my contacts, pictures, videos and apps. On itunes it says there nothing on my phone.

Sorry to hear that.
Do you remember if you use a computer or iCloud to backup your device?
Through this link, you can find the two ways of restoring your device

Hope you get your stuff back!

So after the update to the OS
you now restore from backup (pictures, contacts, texts)
your now re-install the apps from before (go to apps->On phone, download)

now re-arrange where the apps go, Apple does 'not' back them up
and apple does not automatically restore after an upgrade.

So I trust you backed it up
and remembered the Apple ID and Phone Name.

  • Will iOS 7 delete everything on my iPhone 5 if I update it? I've been curious and wondered if iOS 7 will delete my stuff if I didn't back it up on my computer. I have a non jailbroken iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and I have a lot of apps and photos and music that I'd like to keep when I update it to iOS 7
  • Updated to iOS 7 and lost everything Yesterday, I updated my iPhone 4S to ios7 and didn't back up. Now, all my contacts, apps, photos and everything is gone. I don't use iCloud. What do I do to recover my things?
  • May I delete everything on my iphone 4s once everything had been transfer to icloud? I have been a iphone user for almost three years and I'm going to trade in my 4s to get the iphone 5. Right now, I'm starting to figure out icloud work and it's a little bit confusing. So I want to know if it's okay if I can delete everything once my contacts, photos, and other stuff had been transfer? Because I do not want to lose my stuff and never get it back!
  • Lost everything after IO6 update? I accidentely pressed set up as new iphone option when i updated my iphone. Is there anything i can do to get it back to how it used to be or before i updated it? Can i get anything back?
