  • Lost all contacts & messages after updating to Bel...

    Can anyone help please?? Nokia Ovi Suite said it was backing up before installing - in fact I couldn't load the new software without it. I can see the obscure backup file on my laptop. Have lost all my contacts and messages on my phone. Does anyone know how I can restore the backup file? Tried to synch thru Suite but it had same information as my phone - not the backup details, which seems completely pointless! Help please - thanks!

    Have you ever synchronized your phone's contacts, messages, calendar, photos, etc. with Nokia Suite before upgrading to Belle?
    If you did, then you can have them back by synchronizing again. If you didn't then I'm sorry to tell you you've lost that info, but even in this scenario you have one last chance; that is by restoring the info previously backed up from your phone with Nokia Suite. Do not restore your apps, just restore contacts, calendar and messages if they are available.
    Hope it helps.
    Cheers!!!

  • I started using my new iphone 5c before syncing to iCloud and have lost all my messages. Can I get them back? Should I have registered the phone as 'new iphone'?

    i got my new iphone a week ago. i started using it straight away, before i knew about icloud and that i could sync all my contacts, etc to the new phone. i then turned on icloud for contacts - this worked fine. today i tried putting my music onto my phone. i clicked 'recognise a B's iphone' in itunes - this has synced music and apps. the only problem is that i have lost all my text messages from the last week. the phone is showing old messages from december 2012 only! can i delete these and get my recent messages back??
    thanks.

    You did more than sync the new iPhone with iTunes since syncing with iTunes does not include text messages.
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the device as a new iPhone.
    The former replaces all data on the iPhone that is included with the selected backup for the other iPhone or iOS device. The latter does not.
    If a backup for your new iPhone was not created with iCloud or if created and has been updated since the backup was transferred from the other iPhone or iOS device, the previous data on the new iPhone is gone.

    Hey Tosin29188,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac?  Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
    Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Lost all contacts after upgrading to 8.1 on iphone 4s

    How do I regain my contacts on iphone?
    I went through itunes and followed all directions.
    When I was able to get papps back on screen most were gone.  Got them back
    but NO contacts to be found.
    Is there a way?

    At first there was no choice.  Now, there is only the choice from July backup and I'm not sure I had this phone then, but a flip phone.  I'm sire it used the old sim card.   I am on a PC.
    I tried to restore from the July backup and now can not get it to open to the apps pages.  It keeps wanting me to select the language, country,
    internet connection, etc.  It won't leave that.
    thank you for your time.  I appreciate it.

  • Lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back, lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back

    I updated itunes 11.1.5 and I accidently restored all my settings back to my old phone that was backed up onto my computer, I lost everything that was set up on my phone, contacts, pictures, videos, emails...etc.. how do I get my old setup back without doing a factory data reset?

    Restore the device again using the most recent backup.
    If there is no more recent backup and the pictures were not copied off the device prior to the original restore, they are gone.  Same goes for videos taken with the device.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, simply sync them back. 
    Any content acquired from iTunes should be on iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

  • Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

    Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
    The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
    Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
    Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
    Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
    I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
    For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
    Thanks

    You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
    Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
    When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
    Are you with me so far? - Yes.
    And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error. 
    Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier.

  • I've lost my Contacts, Messages, Photos etc after having IOS 4.3.2 installed at the Apple Store. I cannot locate previous back-up history, only the back-up after I synced the phone after it had been updated. How do I recover my previous info please?

    You should have restored the backup that was on your computer before syncing. Now it is too late. However, if you followed the instructions in the manual and set up an app on your computer to sync contacts and calendar to they will still reside in those apps. Photos in the camera roll are lost, however, if you had followed the instructions in the manual to copy photos from the camera roll to your computer regularly you can restore them to the photo app from the copy on your computer. Text messages are gone for good. Music and Apps should be in the music library on your computer.

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

  • My battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2.  How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

    I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2.  How do I delete and go back to previous iso?

    Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could.   There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1. 
    There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup.

  • I have a iPad 2 I brought it yesterday and it has an update for iOS 6.1 but it won't let me download it. It keeps saying your no longer connected to the Internet but I'm connected to my wifi. Can you help please

    Hi Blueandpink,
    If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
    If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
    If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding  down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
    Hope this helps!
    ~Joe
