Updated itunes, updated iphone, returned and demanded restore
So I decided to update my itunes and iphone4s software at the same time. (haven't done it for maybe 6 months).
When I returned, itunes had an error and is now requireing I do a full restore.
Problem is, I'm not sure when I did my last restore, and I know my newest photos aren't in iPhoto. I have probably 5 months worth of photos on my iphone right now and as far Apple is telling me, my only option is to do a restore.
Is there no way to extract the photos before doing the restore? It warns me that restoring my iphone will delete all of its data, which isn't a problem with my music and settings because those are all backed up. Will I lose my photos? Even though I use iphoto, will itunes remember the photos from the last time I updated my phone? (probably just a few weeks ago).
Any help is appreciated.
you must restore the phone

I backed up my iphone 4 before updating to my iphone 5 and it restored to default settings. As a result, I have lost all my photos. Is there any way to reverse the back up as I have a 2 month old baby and desperatly want to retrieve my photos :-(
Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping. -
Updated iphone 5 and it want to restore and back up the phone i have done this 3 times, some advice please
Hi Alan Parrock,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

On at least 2 occasions, when I updated Iphone software and synced with MacBook, my newest calendar events were deleted. The information in Ical and on IPhone reverted to an older version of events instead of defaulting to the new information. I know of at least 1 other person who experienced this; is this a common occurrence? What is the reason for it and the remedy? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Tried updating Iphone 4 and now have got all my brothers apps and his apple ID sign in?

You must have synched your phone with his iTunes account. The iPhone can only be synched with one iTunes account at a time. You need to synch your phone on a computer that has YOUR iTunes account. Then all the current data on your phone (your brother's data) will be erased and replaced with your own data.

I have an iphone 4s and was restoring it from a back up and now all i get is and unknown error occurred (29) halfway through the restore. Any ideas on what I can do?
Your error is connect to hardware, try these steps to solve it:
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

I tunes does not read the contents of my iphone when plugged into my IMAC. It is asking me to go to the iphone preferences and hit restore? Does
anyone know how I should do this? Will I lose all of my contacts, e-mails, etc. I did a backup on the phone to icloud as of now, but not sure
what I should do just to sync with ITunes.That's right, there is an easier way, just check out my other answer to you:

Otherwise, you can also do this if you're using a PC:
1. Go to control panel where you can uninstall a program.
2. Click on iTunes from the list of programs. There should be a button on top of the page that says “Repair”. Just click it. -
IPhone stuck and not restoring
My iPhone 4S started acting funny yesterday. It showed only 'searching' instead of cellular network. Tried resetting network and resetting phone at the risk of losing data but no help. Then tried to restore the same through iTunes but after installing it got stuck at "Verifying iPhone firmware" and iTunes shows "iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1)" after which it goes to the mode where it shows me to connect to iTunes. Try doing through DFU mode but it gets stuck at the same point every time. Tried TinyUmbrella, BootRec, Snowbreeze as well. But no help. One thing I noticed before I tried restoring was that I was not getting any thing in IMEI or Modem Firmware filed of the Settings>General>About section.
Any help on this?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream. -
I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset. It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset. Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back? I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"
The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it. -
I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
