A big deal of data lost after software update

Hello,
Hopefully someone will look into this problem. I have seen also here other reports of losing data after software update.
I have a Nokia N73 Music Edition. Before I updated the firmware, I used Nokia PC Suite to backup all data in the phone memory as well as the phone settings. After a successful update, I tried to restore the backup. No error occured during the restoration. However, I found out many things hadn't been brought back to my phone, such as messages, notes, as well as landmarks that I saved in Nokia Maps.
I want to know what is going on and if there is any hope to get back those lost pieces. Thank you!
Best regards,
Wei

Sorry if your husband didn't backup your phone either to iTunes or icloud prior to updating your phone, then those data is gone.

HT1688 Can data lost after software update be recovered?

I downloaded iOS6 yesterday and my contacts were wiped out. I did this at the office and was not connected to Wifi or a computer. I restored from a PC backup that was a year old, but now cannot see photos, contacts, or messages that were added after the date of the backup. I do not use iCloud, and did not do a backup prior to downloading the new update. Can the data be recovered? I'm missing about 100 pictures, can only see old texts and am missing recently added contacts--but all of the apps appear to be intact.

This was actually on my dad's phone. I personally don't use iCloud since I'm very good about keeping my own phone backed up. Had I known he wanted to install the update, I would have backed it up before downloading and probably would have waited until I was connected to my home network.

All info lost after software update...need help!

I was running a software update in order to make sure I had the latest on my computer. After I restarted the computer and 10.4.4 was loaded, I went into iTunes, address book, iPhoto and I nothing was there. Now this might be normal, but I was unaware of this and now I have a huge pit in my stomach because I lost a lot of information that took me months to compile. Is there anyway to retrieve any of this (pictures, addresses, music) or am I just out of luck? Thanks for all help in advance.

Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

Mail and much more lost after software updates

Background - I upgraded from G4 with 10.3.9 to Mac Pro 1.1 with 10.4.7 one week ago.
When I was working on my machine Saturday, I got a software update box. I clicked the button to run the various software updates, and left. When I came to work this morning, I opened Firefox and found all my bookmarks gone. Weird. I opened Mail to check on emails, and it gave me the "this is how you set up your account" box.
Bottom line: I have lost all my email (hundreds of messages, dozens of mailboxes, very bad) and Firefox bookmarks (okay, not so dire, but very annoying).
Question: Why did it do this? What did I do to cause this? Why, Lord, why???
Thanks,
laurieb
Mac Pro 1.1 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Maybe I didn't phrase the question clearly. Why did the simple online update (I don't know all what was updated; there's no log to show what was done...) basically zero out/reset all my applications. My fonts are gone as well.
I do still have my working docs as they were on different hard drive from the system and applications. I have email, Firefox bookmarks, fonts, etc. on my old machine, so in a sense, all I lost were 5 days worth of emails and time spent pulling my hair out.
I just want to know what I might have done wrong in the first place to cause this. Just don't want to do it again.
thanks,

Nokia E66 - Lost Txt's after software update - can...

Can anyone advise me if it is possible to retrieve my messages from my phone after software update?
I have tried 'some' recovery software but they do not recognise the 'phone' as a part of my pc.
Has anyone had similar issues?

If you didn't make a backup before updating, all data is lost.

ENV:
Service Pack 1 for Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0
Tomcat5.5
Problem:
There is no problem to export the report as PDF files in the first few days after i upgraded the CR4E.
But after several days running,the problem appeared : the exported PDF file was incomplete!
It's supposed to 3 pages,but only 1 page(the first page) exported actually.
When i restarted the tomcat,the problem disappeared.In several days running,
the problem appeared again...
Code:
reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(Messages.getString("tmpltPath")+tmplt_name, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData);
RptHelp rptHelp = new RptHelp();
rptHelp.setDatabaseCtrl(reportClientDoc);
rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","userName","admin");
rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","start_date",start_date);
rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"","end_date",end_date);
for(int i=0;i<6;i++){
     if(!p_name<i>.equals("")){
          rptHelp.addDiscreteParameterValue(reportClientDoc,"",p_name<i>,p_value<i>);
String exportPath = Messages.getString("reportExportPath");
String exportName = "test";
rptHelp.export(reportClientDoc, exportPath+exportName, file_extention);
File file = new File(exportPathexportName"."+file_extention);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
int len = (int)file.length();
byte[] data = new byte[len];
int read = 0;
while (read <len) {
    read += in.read(data, read, len-read);
in.close();
response.setContentType("application/x-msdownload");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+ URLEncoder.encode(exportName"."file_extention,"ISO-8859-1"));
OutputStream ops = response.getOutputStream();
ops.write(data);
ops.flush();
ops.close();
out.clear();
out = pageContext.pushBody();

What is the data? What is displaying the data (graph or chart)? What does your code look like? Why did you post a 4M image to the forum?
NaN in the data will appear as gaps in plots.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hey iftekhar,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

Will the installed Applications in my Nokia E63 work after Software Update? Is the any issue found by somebody?

Hi steverabs
Unfortunately downgrading back to v12.0.013 is not an option with NSU.
GPS data is found in "Tools"
If you have installed any applications yourself, these will unfortunately have disappeared unless they were on memory card and phone settings were saved to memory card and then restored to phone after upgrade.

How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

Ipod touch4g is not detected in pc and itunes after software update

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
