1.1.3 update (failed and then erased ALL data)

Hello everyone,
My wife got an Iphone update tonight for 1.1.3 and they update failed. It then asked her to restore and she did and ALL of her contacts, photos etc are missing. She has the phone connected to her MacBook and she is lost on how to get the information back onto her phone. Does anyone have suggestions on what she can do to regain her info.
thx....

When Restoring an iPhone, all data and settings on the iPhone are erased and the current firmware is reinstalled which is 1.1.3 and the options are to restore from backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup file for the iPhone which stores all data not included with the sync process including iPhone settings. Data included with the backup file besides settings are phone favorites, recent calls, SMS messages, cities tracked with the weather widget, stocks tracked with the stocks widget, alarms, Notes created with the iPhone Notes application, Maps bookmarks, youtube bookmarks and photos captured by the iPhone but this is not one to depend on. Photos captured by the iPhone should be imported from the iPhone to your computer which can be done with iPhoto or the Image Capture application on a Mac.
The iPhone's backup file is updated immediately prior to the sync process and is updated only if any of the data stored in the backup file has changed since the last sync.
The iPhone's contacts are synced with the Address Book application or with Entourage, calendar events are synced with iCal and bookmarks are synced with Safari on a Mac. Photos not captured by the iPhone which are available on the iPhone are transferred from the computer and iTunes content - music, video and podcasts are transferred from iTunes via the sync process.
So assuming your wife has been syncing her iPhone with iTunes on her Mac, restore again but choose from the backup to restore the iPhone settings and all data stored with the backup file and then sync to transfer iTunes content, address book contacts, calendar events and Safari bookmarks from the computer to the iPhone.

HT4528 Is there a way of deleting the 16,000 verizon technician allow on my i phone when he set up the new verizon settings. Like loading to the computer and then erasing all, which you cannot do on the phone

Is there any way of getting rid of the 16,000 e mail on my 4s by load onto the computer and then deleting all. The phone only allows you to delete one at a time.

Delete the account and all the emails will go with it.

I need to erase my I Pad for a sale (have purchased mini I Pad). Do I just push settings and then erase all content and settings. It does warn that all data and settings will be erased is this my personal settings only. It retains the factory settin

EErase the iPad to factory settings

If you want to sell iPad, make sure you erase all content and settings:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.

New computer update failed and I lost all my apps.....

Well I have not updated my phone is some time and while using a new computer to do so there was a connection problem and my phone become coorupt.
While restoring the phone I lost all my applications, some which came at a very hight price. Now my phone has been updated but all the apps I had are gone and there is no record of them within Itunes. This is just BS and *****.
Is there any way to get those apps back. Its bad enough the data stored while using them is gone (GPS locations, marine tracks, etc...) but will I have to pay for the apps all over again???
Very confused and ****** that I even tried to update my phone.

You can redownload the apps for free, even paid ones. Note that you must click Buy before you're offered the free download.

Unfortunately, you're correct that the app data is gone. But at least you won't have to pay again for the apps.

I backed up a firefox profile and then deleted all data. I need to restore this profile to my new install after phone restore. How can I do this please?

Long story short - had to reformat my laptop and lost all my bookmarks and preferences. Could not get Sync to restore from the phone's bookmarks. Backed up phone's firefox profile (Android ICS) to an external SD card. Formatted both phone and computer. New CLEAN firefox install on phone but I havent figured out how to restore the profile backup from external SD back to the phone's Firefox before moving to Sync with desktop. Feeling very dumb and hoping for some help....thanks!

Thanks for responding but the link seems to be relevant to Windows. Is there a similar method for Android phones?

Erase all data from original iPhone

I've upgraded to the iPhone 3G and am in the process of selling the 1st generation. My cell service has been transferred to the new phone - the sim card that came with the 3G is now in the original phone. I want to be sure to all my data is erased. Since it's not an active phone, how do I do that? Can I take the sim from the 3G, install in the original and then erase all data?

If you are selling your 2G iphone, I may be interested. I just broke the screen of mine and found out that replacing it cost almost as much as a 3G. I don't want a 3G as AT&T charges more per month would also charge for texting. Thanks! You can contact me at [email protected]

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

I updated iTunes and then had problems. iTunes fails to download. Did they take it off-line?

There were no error codes. I went to the download site and started to download. Popup window appeared and then when I clicked on save, the window disappeared, but no download appeared in the download folder.
many thanks.
Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

No one can help you without knowing the error message and error number when it fails.

Everything should be on your computer. Just sync it back.
Did you fail to make sure that everything was on your computer before updating?

My vreative cloud downloaded and so did PS but now its saying there is an error...update failed and im retrying it but its not working what do i do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

HP laptop update failed, and now it wont stop undoing changes.

When I went on my laptop today it started updating, and after an hour when it finally got to 99% it said they the update failed, and it's now undoing changes. It's been like that for over 3 hours now. How can I try to fix this?

You can try getting to Advance Boot Menu by
1. Repeatly pressing f8when the laptop boot up (Disable FASTBOOT when you are tyring to get into Advance boot menu)
2.Shift and F8 (When the first options doesn't help at all )
then use the Keyboard arrow keys to navigate around Advance boot menu and select Last known good boot configration or restore this PC (Please be minded that if you choose restoring it will restore to a back to the last known backup , as data will be lost )
Please update here if there is still any problems

HT1766 I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accodentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and need help getting them

I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accidentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them back and restore it back like i has it? Thanks

That means you have not a backup before accidentally restore your new iPhone 5.
So you should recover your new pictures and info with a third recovery tool.
This blog has a useful tool to meet you.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/09/iphone-recovery-resource.html
In step 1, you should choose 'Recover from iOS Device' in the main interface and then following the steps to get your pictures and info back.
Good Luck.

Skipping songs and then erasing everything. Please Help

My iPod had been having this problem for a few weeks, but I "fixed" it, and now it is happening again. I have an ipod 40gb touch wheel, and what its doing is I restored my ipod, using 2005.09.06, and then I put all my t4racks back into it through itunes. But, after a day to a week, it will start scrolling through all the songs, never playing any of them, and then go back to the menu. I tried to reset it (play/menu buttons together), and it erased all my tracks. This has happened a couple of times.
Can anyone please help me?

Infuriating, isn't it?
I have the same problem with my 3rd generation iPod. I also "fixed" it, or so I thought, but then the problem returned after awhile. I hate to tell you this, but I really don't think there is a fix for this problem. I've tried all of the recommended "solutions," but none of them worked for very long. I don't think there is anything the matter with my iPod I think the latest firmware update is responsible - others think so too. Did you recently update the firmware for your iPod?
