HT4623 how to retrieve data that was not backed up

SOS! Being a novice SmartPhone consumer, I tried to safeguard my data on my iPhone 4 only to lose all the data from the date of purchase, is there any way possible that the data (pictures and contacts) are not a total eternal lose?

Today I completed a software update for my iPhone 5 without backing it up because I did not receive a warning that all my data would be erased and so, did not realize it would be an issue. Upon completing the update, I realized my mistake but figured it was too late to revert the damage and continued with the restoration of my phone to its factory settings.
After completing the update, I realized just how much data was lost (including important notes with financial information and images and videos of recent trips around Europe). Now I am desperate to try to recover the data deleted in the update. Is there any chance at all that I can recover something? The notes and videos are most important to me. I am also missing many Messages but that is less important to me.
Can anyone please help?
Any response is greatly appreciated!
Here's the official article from Apple on how to update your iOS.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Before you update
Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
That's virtually the very first thing it says to do.
There's no excuse to not have your data backed up prior to updating. Tell me, what would you have done if, instead of this being an issue where you updated your iOS and had an error, if instead you had dropped your iPhone and it was damaged beyond repair, or if it was stolen or lost, etcetera.
Perhaps you'd been backing up to iCloud and didn't realize it? Maybe the missing Notes data is linked to a Mail account? You might be able to reconstruct the data, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
Best of luck. Make sure to backup more frequently in the future. There are two types of people in the world; those who have lost data, and those that will lose data. The only difference is how prepared you are for that event.

How to retrieve data that was stored in structures

Hi all
I am facing a tough situation. My scenarios is with the batch management issue.
If you can see the transaction MSC3N display batch data, there is tab changes. here u will find the list of changes. I can find the header data in the table like when it was changed and what changed it like transaction. But I want what is the old value and what is the new value it has for list of batches. But the fileds are stored in structures like CDSHW F_OLD and F_NEW. Is there any way to retrieve all the data.
Please give me any inputs. Inputs will be rewarded.Please let me know if I am clear.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Regards
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Data will not be stored in Structures.
Those values will be captured in CDHDR & CDPOS Tables, get the data from there.
Pass table name and table key values.
Regards,

Restore data that was not backed up on the PC

Hi,
I got tungsten e
My PC was formatted so I dont have the hotSync data
My palm data disapear suddenly - is there a way I can restore it from the palm itself ?
Thanks in adavance

Can you still see your data on your device? If so you can just hotsync it back to your computer.
If you can't see the data on the device then there is no other way of retrieving the data, the device itself doesn't keep a built in backup.

HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back? It wouldn't matter too much except that it was a paid app. A search of topics wasn't successful. I've learned a lot from these discussion support communities. Thank you for any help.

How to retrieve a deleted iMessage that was not backed up

hhow do I find a number I didn't save but sent a iMessage to?

If it is just the number you are looking for - not the message itself - and you can recall at least the first digit or two, you may be able to locate it accessing the recent contacts in the Messages app. Start a new message; type in the first characters of the number (at least as many as you can recall), and look for recommended entries that have an icon. Those should be recent contacts that are not in your contacts app.

Did you sync your iPhone with your computer at anytime, or use the iCloud to sync your data. If not you will not be able to retrieve your data.

Understanding and deleting data that was accidentally backed up

My iCloud backed up without me knowing and it backed up some data that i did not want. is there a way i can find what is backed up in my icloud and delete it permanently?? I have the iphone 5c and running ios 7.

You can delete the entire backup and start over, or go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your iPhone backup > Backup Options. Turn off the apps that you don't want included with the backup.

If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

How to move all music files and pictures from Ipod nano to a new Windows computer that was not backed up on an external harddrive, only found on my ipod.

My windows lap top was recently destroyed to the point of no recovery.
All of my music and picture files are still located on my ipod and I plan on getting a new windows laptop
Is there anyway that I can transfer my (unpurchased) music files and pictures from my ipod nano to my new computer?
The pictures are more important that the music, so if only one is possible, I would prefer that
I appreciate any ones helpful comments

Copy the iTunes library from your backup as below:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Sync with the restored library.

I am using TOAD for oracle to insert from the source to the staging table and then to the fact table in the data warehouse.
A project has 1 requester and 1 developer.
Some projects have requester but have yet a developer assigned to it.
The sql that I use cannot recognize the missing row.
The code cannot work because project 3 will be ignored. Anyone's help is very much appreciated.

Is there any way to recover a voice memo that was not backed up but accidentally deleted?

Today I accidentally deleted a very important voice memo in the blink of an eye. As I forgot to back it up I know this is probably not possible and I understand that. Is there any way to recover this?

I had exactly the same problem, I was trying with some software of wondershare but wasn't possible, so, it seems like we lost that important info!.
