Recovering data from a broken iPhone 5?

Today, my iPhone 5 broke, it simply won't turn on. When I plug it in, the computer doesnt even recognize a device plugged in. So im wondering, if I took my phone into the apple store, could they get the data off my phone? Really all I need are contacts and a couple things I have in the "notes" app. Please help!!!

If the phone won't power on when connected to a known-good charger, there is no way to restore your data if it hasn't been backed up.

HT201269 can i backup the data from a broken iphone to my new iphone?

can i backup the data from a broken iphone to my new iphone?

Just back the phone up to icloud and restore iPhone from backup on the new phone. When you are going through the set up process it ask you if you want to set the phone up as new or restore from a backup. You do not nee itunes at all or anything hooked up.

Transfer unlimited data from My broken iphone 4 to an existing iphone 4s on my family plan that just has the 2gb shared data.

I have 5 phones on my family plan. One of which is an iphone 4 with the 30.00 unlimited data plan. It broke. So now I would like to switch that number to another phone on my plan, the iphone 4s. The iphone 4s only has the 2gb shared data with the other 3 phones. Will I lose the unlimited plan by switching iPhones? I also am on the month to month contract with the original broken iphone 4 and I don't want to go into another 2 year deal with verizon right now. Thanks for any help. There are soooooo many old comments about this but I can't seem to find any definitive ruling from verizon or otherwise.

Still hesitant on this...:/. I have all 5 lines active. Two are month to month contracts and that includes the iPhone 4 unlimited data and a Samsung note 2 with 2 fb data. The other 3 lines have later contract end dates and are pay data as used. All five share unlimited texts and 1400 minutes. The iPhone 4 broken has not been used and I forwarded the calls to the iPhone 4S with the 2 fb data. So basically I have a dead phone with unlimited data...useless.
I am thinking of just canceling all 5 phones. (The bill is over 280.00 a month). And go to metropcs with the unlimited data with 4 lines at 100.00.
The only thing stopping me is the termination fee which. I am getting to the point of ...whatever. Port i love you and miss you very much. Mom numbers that I want to keep and end verizon completely.
Another speedbump is the service I get here is exceptional. No dropped calls..ever...a little slow.at times...but always available.
If I could just transfer the unlimited to the iphone4s I would stay but I can't see how to do it since all five lines are booked up and I can't get a sixth to do a transfer to.
Any help. Thanks. I

How do I remove data from my broken iPhone 3GS from iTunes, iCal, contacts?

Help .....
I recently fried my iPhone 3GS and the data used to be synced using iTunes. I have iPad and iMac, which data are synced using iCloud. The data in iMac are duplicated by the iPhone and iPad. Can any one guide me how to remove the iPhone data from iTunes, iCal and address book please. Thanks

Turning your email off in settings doesn't remove the email from your account. You have to delete it from your device or from icloud.com, then empty the trash to remove it from your account. Same thing with contacts.
This article provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847

Cannot open Microsoft Office after copying it across from external HD with recovered data from my broken macbook HD.

I have recently had to replace the hard drive in my macbook pro. All the data has been recovered from my old one onto an external HD and I have copied over everything from this onto the new HD on my macbook. Everything is fine except for Microsoft Office (2011).
Although I can see all the Microsoft Office programs in the Applications folder, I can't open any of them. It sort of tries, but then doesn't open. All my word, excel, etc documents have the little 'W' or 'X' in the icon and I can preview them, but it won't open.
So far I have copied Office and Messenger into Applications, 'Microsoft' into Application Support, 'Microsoft' into Preferences, and the 'Microsoft-Userdata' into Documents.
Have I missed something? I don't have the original CD or product key anymore so don't think I can completely reinstall.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help - I have now found the original product key (although still no disc!) so is there any way now? After this, I'm giving up and just biting the bullet and buying it again, annoying!

Is there any way to save data from a broken Iphone that still turns on but computer wont recognise it?

My iphone 4 was thrown at the floor and smashed. It charges still, and switches between showing the apple logo on screen, to blank, and then sometimes to the initial start up screen where it asks me to connect it to itunes. When plugged into the computer however the computer doesn't show it in Devices, and it doesn't appear in Itunes. I am wondering if there are any options to try and get all my photos and contacts off it in particular. I am not sure if itunes backed up the data when i updated the phone previously... Thank you so much for any help, i appreciate it so much!

If a repairer was too look at it and they are not with Apple, you would void your warranty entirely.
To check previous backups, go into Edit>Preferences>Devices on Windows, and iTunes>Preferences>Devices for Mac, that will show a list of backups

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

You can always try - Genius Bar appointments at your nearest Apple Store are free.
You can also try to recover data from your last backup...

Recover data from external hard drive that was Windows format and connected on a Macbook Pro. Did I lose everything? What happened?

Hi there this is my first question here!
I connected my external hard drive originally formatted on PC on my new Macbook. The first time I connected it I could see all my files but today I connected it and after I couldn't see any file nor even on my pc appears as NO NAME with a different name and nothing on it. I think was reformatted, any help to recover all my data?
It's really important stuff for me

If the Apple Store couldn't get files off of the drive, it is unlikely that you will be able to. If you have backups, those would be the best way to go. You could also try booting up the computer and holding down T to boot into Target Disk Mode. Plug the broken computer into another one with FireWire and see if it works to recover data from external hard drive. If you can see it, try booting up the broken computer while holding down Option. Choose Recovery HD from the menu, then choose to Reinstall OS X.
It is unlikely that this will work, because I'm pretty sure that the Apple Store would have tried this. You could try using expensive software to get files off the drive, but it would be risky and the results might not be any good.

How to recover data from bad hard drive

Once a hard drive goes bad (cannot get into the computer), is there any hope of recovering any data from it? If so, how?

Do you mean the hard drive is mechanically broken for sure? It's not a data corruption issue that is causing a problem with starting up the Mac, but maybe not be a bad mechanism?
If the drive is definitely broken, there are businesses that specialize in recovering data from bad hard drives. For example
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ (I always saw their booth at MacWorld Expos...)
The cost of such services is usually high.
cannot get into the computer
So that probably means the hard drive in question is the internal drive? If you don't know for sure that the hard drive is physically broken, you can try starting up using your Mac OS X installation disc. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. When you get to Installer's screen, go up to the menu bar and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Does the internal drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Alternately, if you have another Mac (that has FireWire), you can try starting the Mac with the problem in FireWire Target Disk Mode,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Connect the "target" Mac to the other Mac (running normally) using a FireWire cable. Run Disk Utility on that Mac. Does the hard drive of the Mac in FireWire Target Disk Mode appear in the sidebar?
If you can get the internal drive to appear in Disk Utility, you may be able to run Repair Disk on the First Aid tab. There are also third-party utilities, such as TechTool Pro (Micromat), Drive Genius (Prosoft), and Disk Warrior (Alsoft), that may be able to fix (or at least recover data from) the hard drive.

Dear Apple: Can't recover data from iPad / no exploit for A5 bootrom

Dear Apple,
Looks like I'm not the only one who has had a failed upgrade to 6.1.3. Now my mother's iPad 2 is in recovery mode with 1000+ pictures lost in LaLaLand.
No recent backup, no iCloud.
I've done lots of research on how I can recover the data and the only possible way seems to be accessing the Ramdisk via SSH.
But there is no bootrom exploit for A5 devices, so it won't work.
Thanks Apple, I've lost photos of our family dog that passed this year, as well as photos from my grandmother's memorial service from this year.
I hope an Apple employee see's this...
Your process for upgrading iOS versions should be less prone to errors or failures. Required syncs or backups before upgrades should be required.
I could send my iPad to the main data recovery service Apple has partnered with... but I don't have $400 - $1200 to spend.
But even if I did, I would assume that only Apple has the power to access the data that is now in a digital vault, protected by their millions of dollars of revenue.
How can a top-leader in the consumer electronics industry let down so many of their loyal customers? Just google "recover data on iPad" or iPhone and you'll see that 1000's of people across the globe are having the same issue with iOS upgrades.
Please Apple, at least create a service to allow users to send in devices for data recovery. Only you have the power to "hack" into our devices.
Sincerly,
Forever lost memories?

Apple aren't here. This is a user to user forum.
You've lost your data because, as you said: "No recent backup, no iCloud." - that's your fault, no-one else's.
Backing up is necessary regardless of whether you are upgrading or not. Your iPad could've been stolen or damaged and you'd've lost the data the same. Apple provides you with at least 3 ways of retaining copies of your photos - you chose not to use them.
Call this a lesson learned in the consequences of not backing up as advised.

How to recover data for a stolen iphone

Does anybody know how I can recover phone data from a stolen iphone?

If you used to sync your iPhone with your computer, you should have a backup. That backup should contain the photos you have in your camera roll.
If not, then unfortunately there is nothing to be done without physical access to the phone.
Also, you can use iPhone Data Recovery to help you recover your data back.
Best wishes.

How do I get my data from my old iphone to a new iphone?

Hi
I backed-up the data from my old iphone via itunes onto my computer. Now, I have "restored" the replacement iphone- or so I thought. There is none of my old info onto this new phone. Help. I am at a loss. Where do I go to get all of my old data- contacts, apps, music, etc...
Thanks,
Cat

Nope.
Something went wrong.
I've done it twice now and followed the directions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Doesn't work. I have no contacts indicated and no notes, etc... from my old iphone.
I have an iphone 4 - so there is no SIM card. Maybe I didn't back up the data properly from the old iphone. I haven't deleted anything yet so I guess I could do the whole process over...
No clue.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?
