My iPhone 5c is dead, is there any way to retrieve my photos?
My phone suddenly died, and wouldn't switch on or charge. The back-light was on, but no colour/image/symbol. As a result I took it in to Apple and they pronounced my phone dead . Now it won't switch on or anything, regardless of whether I charge it or not. I'm still in the current process of mourning for my loss.
However, I never synced my phone to iTunes or iCloud. Is there any way, no matter the cost, that I could retrieve my images? (they're of my family and little brother, and lots of special moments in the past year). Is there any hardware inside that could be placed into an alternate iPhone that could restore my data? I have no idea myself so maybe I can get help here.
Any help is appreciated x
Apple have since offered me a replacement so I do have a phone now - (it's strange how they didn't take the old phone back, but perhaps it was because they had to run through my service providers that originally gave me the phone and they'll have to catch up with me now)It's just unfortunate that I've lost those photos, but then again, I should have backed them up. I share an iCloud account so that put me off using it but I'll be sure to have everything backed up from this point forwards. I was just unlucky and naive enough to think my phone would forever be fine. Ahh well, looking at the situation from another perspective, I have a whole lifetime ahead to take photos and preserve memories. Others have it much worse and I guess I should be grateful.
So yup, shame on me indeed :/
Thank you for clarifying my issues though. I'll ensure my saved images are stored in the new iPhone too.

iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.
leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
good luck -
is there any way to retrieve data from an IPOD TOUCH 4 if the device has never been backed up to a computer??
Only if you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer -
Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos or files after they were trashed.
Is there any way to retrieve photos after you deleted them accidentally????
From your backup. The iCloud backup contains the photos in your Camera Roll:

I had an iPhone 4 that got stolen and just got a new one, so after I had taken important photos I plugged the phone into iTunes and it accidentally restored to my old iPhone data and uploaded all that information, deleting the new photos before I had a chance to back them up. I don't suppose there is any way of retrieving this lost data?
If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos from my iphone 4?
I deleted some pictures i had on my phone for some stupid reason, and i'd love to have them back, i never did any sort of backup.
No, when you restore from a backup your settings and data revert to those contained in the backup. There isn't a way to selectively save a portion of the backup on your phone while restoring to a newer backup. The only way to accomplish this would be to try to extract the photos you want from your earlier backup using 3rd party software like iPhone Backup Extractor, and then sync the extracted photos back to your phone using iTunes.
Also, if you do try to restore to your earlier backup, you have to do this carefully or you will overwrite it by automatically syncing. The process to follow would be:
First confirm that the earlier backup exists by, without connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to Preferences. Here look at the list of available backups. If you see an earlier one to restore from take note of the name and date of this backup.
On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone, right-click on its name when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes and choose Restore from Backup
Select your earler backup to restore from and let the restore process complete
Go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this -
Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos if they weren't backed up?
Please please these photos are so important.
I'd be rich, retired, & drinking Margarita's on a beach somewhere, if I got just one dollar for every post, like yours, we get here.
Sorry, there's no supported way to recover your data. You can Google search for "iPhone data recovery software" yourself. None are cheap, & most don't work. -
I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?
Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone. -
A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distressIf she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up. -

Don't know what you mean by "some time ago", but unless you activated Find My Phone and the phone is still on, the answer is no. (Even if you ask 3 times).

I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update.
If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. -
I need to find past work dates and information for taxes and claims, etc, but the calendar app seems to have erased everything dating back further than a few weeks. Is there any way to retrieve this? The IOS walk thru doesnt explain that not syncing ALL EVENTS means they'll all be erased. Dumb. This is kind of imprtant, Apple, for an 'everything' device. Please advise. Post-setting to 'all events' has not restored the info... Thank you!
Not sure what you mean by 'turn off calendars'. Do you mean under 'accounts' that i should delete the previously synched calendar accounts from the iphone and then turn it back on? This will restore all the information?
thank you. -
I bought an iphone 5 in December. However my iPhone does not support 1700 HSPA . The current iphone 5 does. Is there any way I can trade my iPhone to get the current iPhone since they are both iphone 5?
No, you have to sell yours and buy the new iPhone 5 with the proceeds.
Please do not double post. Asking many times does not change the answer.
