How to recover iPhone file before factory reset?

Last night I got an updating message for iOS 8, my phone was low on battery so I plugged into an aftermarket cable to recharge while it updates. Next thing i see is a picture telling me to connect iPhone to iTunes. Now iTunes will not recognize my phone and it seems like I need to factory reset... I have so many pictures that are not backed up. How do I at least retrieve my files before factory reset it?
Why did iPhone ask me to connect to iTunes in the first place? Could it be the cable? It was only connect to a power source, which should not have interfere with the update in my mind.

Do you synchronise your device with iTunes? If so, then iTunes should have created a backup of the device's data when you last connected it to your computer. (You can view your backups in the Devices tab in the preferences window.) If you don't have a backup of your data, then I don't believe it can be recovered.
Your device is displaying the "connect to iTunes" screen because it's unable to start iOS due to a fault and therefore needs to be restored to its default configuration. Yes, I think it's possible that using an uncertified Lightning cable could cause an upgrade of iOS to fail.

Backing up Iphone data before factory reset.

I need to factory reset my wife's Iphone 5. I followed the instructions that suggested I sync via Itunes. In the process of doing so the sync acted funny during the sync. So I repeated the process. Now my wife's phone has pictures back on it that she had uploaded to you Macbook Pro to create space on her phone. It also downloaded back to the phone all the categories she created on her Macbook Pro for her pictures.
Before I factory reset her phone I need to be confident I backed up her data correctly. Especially her contacts and most importantly her pictures.
Can anybody help this Newb out?

Connect to itunes the device and backup the data with backup button. On the left side of backup button check on ''in this computer'' button and click backup and then dont backup apps. And restore your device by entering revocery or pwnd dfu mode and then restore.

Get an external drive and clone your internal drive to it, you can use Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to achieve this.
The external drive should be the same size or larger than your internal.

Can you tell me how to recover iphone contacts

Recently in trouble, I lost contact because of my Prison break failed,Can you tell me how to recover iphone contacts?urgent!urgent!urgent!thanks!!!

"jimistyle", a little bit late reply but hope you can still hear. ^^
The fact is there might be another way to recover your lost iPhone files via iTunes on your Mac machine. This Mac utility is able to extract & restore iTunes backup files for your lost iPhone data. Not too many Mac users know that each time you sync data between your iDevice (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and iTunes, all previous records will be backed up by iTunes automatically and saved as (.sqlitedb) files. Hope this helps take your stress out. Best regards.

How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

How to recover lost files in iMac due to software update

iI accepted an automatic software update in Mac; it restarted my computer and all files created in the last three days disappeared. Any ideas on how to recover those files?
Thank you!

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

How to recover my files on MacOS X Yosemite while the system is down, How to recover my files on MacOS X Yosemite while the system is down

My MacBook Pro it is not starting, it shots down while it is uploading the system, i tried to repair it by using the Disc Recovery, it says "Ishould back up all my information before trying to fix the problem as it's seem to be a problem with the disc" and there is no way to fix it, so is there any way to recover my files before i reinstall the system?

Connect it to another Mac with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable, start it up with the T key held down, and try either copying the files off or running a data recovery product.
