All data lost after upgrading

I lost all data after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4. I was able to recover only the information that syncs with mobileme, everything else was gone, in all apps: bank accounts, passwords, notes, games, settings, etc -everything
I already restored and restarted, even used time machine, nothing seems to work. Any help?

I am trying to update to the newest software, and get a warning that i need to save/transfer new purchases to my library. I know the last time i did this update i went with continue, and as the others in the posting have indicated lost information. It didnt matter to me at that time, but now that I have more info to lose, i dont want to do it, so the other option on it is to do as it asks. But, I am having a hard time doing that. I have done what they have asked by going to file and transferring, but, it doesnt seem to be working. As i continue to get the same warning. I am not going to update this till i get the answer to do it properly this time. But, want to know why it doesnt want to transfer the info that it requires, for me to continue on. I think this is why the others in the thread are losing their info.

All Data Lost after upgrade

Was wondering if someone could help out...
So I get a call late last night from my mom, she's upgraded her boyfriend's phone on her Windows Vista PC using iTunes. Although, it's upgraded, but deleted ALL data from the phone.
The phone doesn't appear in 'My Devices', nor does it appear in the option to 'restore from'... however, there DOES appear to be a file in the backup location (after a LONG time trying to find it on Vista) that appears to have been last modified at the time of data loss - I am presuming this will be the backup file from the boyfriends phone.
So - how can she go about restoring all the data back to the iPhone?
I hope this makes sense, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem. Tried to update, but phone got stuck in the "syncing" phase after backing up and updating the OS (it never went past the first of three steps to sync). Restoring the phone to its factory condition gives me a shiny new, fully-functional phone with absolutely nothing in it. No photos, no text messages, no contacts, no calendar. Some of these items can be restored because they live in the .mac cloud, but the photos and text messages cannot.
Before the software updated, iTunes made a backup of the current state of the phone. I've tried everything under the sun to restore the phone to this particular backup, but it doesn't finish the process. This backup lives in the ~/Library/Application Support /MobileSync/Backup/ folder.
Now, your post provides a solution, but I'm afraid I don't understand what it means. Should I move the backup to ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups/Structured and try again? Or should I move something from ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Backups/Structured into ~/Library/Application Support /MobileSync/Backup/? As of now, the only thing within that Structured folder is a status.plist file.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

All data lost after upgrade to 4.2.1

Hi all,
I have a 3G (possibly 3G s?) and I finally got around to upgrading to ios 4.
Synced with itunes beforehand, which I thought would have backed everything up, but all photos, contacts, messages etc have disappeared. It also wiped all my music and apps, however these are still in itunes, so I guess I can get them back relatively easily.
Any advice on how to recover SMS, contacts and photos would be hugely appreciated. This has not been a happy new year...
Cheers

All data deleted after upgrade to iOS8

I am deeply sad. All data has been deleted after upgrade to iOS8.
What I did:
1. Connect ipad to PC to transfer records from voice recorder.
2. iTunes offered to upgrade system.
3. I confirmed.
4. Some unknown error occured in the end of upgrade process.
5. When iPad started, iOS8 was there. All data disappeared.
6. I am sad. All valued data I need is lost... (no backup has been done before upgrade).
Pls advice is it possible to get data back.

Yes. I did backup.
But don't know how to get it.
Actualy, all I need is 2 records from Recorder programm. Before upgrade I downloaded records from itunes; screen → http://joxi.ru/caQdVIwyTJDKAjTtsuk
Now it is empty, no records.
I see that backup of this programm data available in storage. But don't know how to get it from there; screen → http://joxi.ru/taUdVP3JTJAaYtIkBaI
By the way iTunes tells me that backup copies available for today only → http://joxi.ru/7KUdVP3JTJBAXfQZjgI

Ipod 2 : All data lost after battery empty, Apple logo! *** is this now!?

I am very upset, i took me countless hours to set up and customize my new ipad 2. Finally i was done, playing "fishfarm" on it, when i noticed the battery was down to 4%. I went to bed, thinking, well the ipad will go to sleep mode soon enough since it was so low on battery power.
Then the shock when i woke up!!! I wanted to charge my ipad, when i noticed the frigging Apple Logo! I assumed the worse when i had to connect it to itunes.
Yes, ALL DATA GONE!! Everything, all apps, data, settings, games, it went back to "out of box" mode. I recently upgraded to new software 4.3.3
This is unacceptable, *** is wrong, did they rush to launch the new ipad when its mainboard wasnt ready? This clearly looks like a major problem, since i dont seem to be the only one having it.
Apple needs to release a fix ASAP! This doesnt happen with Microsoft software, i never lost all my data at once when working with a MS OS.
Anyone else with this problem? Luckily i ordered 2 ipads 2 so when i will pick up the other one on Monday, i am sending this one straight back.

Countless hours? There are only 24 hours in a day.
Backing up the iPad is as simple as attaching the cable to the iPad and your computer and telling the iTunes app on your computer to make a backup. It takes about 5 minutes usually. You should always backup important data on all computer devices.
The iPad 2 was not rushed to market. There is nothing wrong with the iPad 2's logicboard. Mine has worked perfectly from day one over a month ago.
But when a factory assembles millions of electronic devices with dozens of parts from different sources, there may occasionally be a bad one. Call Apple Care and have them walk you through the steps to determine if yours is a lemon or you personally have made a mistake with it, aside from failing to back it up.

Sticky Brain data lost after upgrade to 10.4.4

Sticky Brain can't locate my data file after the upgrade to 10.4.4 and neither can I. Can someone tell me where it might be moved to during that process?

I can't tell you where it might have moved to but in my case, using 4.0.3 the default backup file is here- HD/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Chronos/Backups

URGENT :All data lost after restart

Hi all,
I did a restart after using win7 in bootcamp.
after the restart, all my personal user data are gone. my desktop got wipe out clean with only Macintosh HD drive and bootcamp on it. my dock, trackpad, wallpaper change to default setting.
i did a check on my applications and all the applications are still intact. however, when i open my safari, all the history is there, but there is no recent download item, all gone! There seems to be no users data in any of the applications. and although all my applications are still there, other folders located in desktop, roots, and other locations are gone.
My email, outlook email, documents and download are also gone. And i dont have any backup.
Can somebody help me? Can i recover all my data back?

Yes you can, but your going to need to stop using the computer before your deleted files are overwritten with new data.
There is a piece of software called DataRescue ($99) what it can do if installed on another Mac or bootable hard drive is to read the 1's and 0's of deleted data and recover everything to another blank hard drive.
Then all you have to do is pick through it and save what you want.
You need to learn either one or two things
1: How to install OS X onto a external drive and option key boot from it
2: Firewire Target Disk Mode from another Mac. (T boot the sick Mac)
I don't know what you want to do a this point but you need to stop using the computer that the files got overwritten on immediatly.
Bascially you can't be running OS X on the drive/partition your having problems with nor the Windows partition which has access to the OS X partition.
If you think you can't handle this, then hire the services of a local PC/Mac specialist trained in data recovery.

New Laptop - All data lost after 3weeks! Help!!!

Please help!
I purchased a HP Pavillion G6 - 2205AX with Microsoft 8 3 weeks ago and I am beginning to regret it. My last laptop an (Asus) lasted 6 years with NO problems but I was convinced to go HP.
I had set up the computer, loaded all my documents, hooked up my printer, got anti virus, loaded microsoft office...all the normal things you do when getting a computer.
It has been running perfect, I had completed a couple of assignments, downloaded a heap of documents and everything was running fine. I always shut down after use and dont leave it plugged into the wall charging if it doesnt need it.
Today, I turned the laptop on like normal and it started up with the same start up as when I first ever started it up?? It took forever to load and when I finally got into the desktop everything is GONE!!! I cant find my documents, music or photos anywhere!!!
I am desperate to find out if they are on here somewhere as I have two assignemts due on Thursday and d not want to re-do them if they are on here somewhere....
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
I have called microsoft support who told me to call hp support who told me to call laptop support who were closed and said to come to the HP website... PLEASE HELP!!!

All data lost after downgrade

Hi!
I have a 3G and used an online tutorial to downgrade the firmware to 3.1.3, because it was annoyingly slow.
I had done a backup before that I restored, but all my apps were gone, which didn't bother me that much, but all my contacts, text messages and photos are gone as well! Is there ANY way to recover them? I really really really need them.
-Lara

This is one reason why downgrading is not supported by Apple. The only suggestion I can think of is to re-upgrade to 4.1 and then try restoring your backup. Make sure you don't create any new backups of your current state since they might overwrite your existing (good) backup. 4.1 is supposed to fix the slowdown issues reported on the 3G.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).

Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

Data lost after several days running!

ENV:
Service Pack 1 for Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

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:

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?

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Hi, may i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6

Hi,
May i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6 and all my data lost ?

You can restore the phone and when prompted to restore choose from icloud account. BUT MAKE SURE there is 1.) an icloud backup for your phone. 2.) you are using the same apple id.

Meta dates in AlbumData.xml (date problems after upgrade)

HI folk,
Further to my post earlier today about the date mashup after upgrading, I was wondering if a [careful!] edit of the AlbumData.xml file might help.
If I knew what these fields meant I might be able to work out what to do...
<key>DateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>9850139.000000</real>
<key>ModDateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>206299947.507982</real>
<key>MetaModDateAsTimerInterval</key>
<real>206299831.664670</real>
Which one (if any of these) does iPhoto use when deciding what order to display the photos in? And what are the numbers? Seconds since 1984? Picoseconds since the Woz left the company? Curious minds want to know.
And yes, I'd use a backup for experimentation.
Rob

Rob,
That timestamp is probably based on the [Unix Epoch|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time], the basis for almost all time stamps in programs based on Unix and/or the C programming language. If those dates are in fact based on the Unix epoch, they are based on the number of seconds since Jan1, 1970.
Sometimes such dates are represented as integers (like DateAsTimerInterval seems to be) and sometimes they are represented as floating point numbers (like the other two) in an attempt to circumvent the Year 2038 problem.
You may find this useful: [http://www.unixtimestamp.com>
Personally, I would love to find out how your experimentation goes - what fails and what works; if you have to go through any hoops to get iPhoto to recognize your changes; if exporting a photo changes its EXIF timestamps after you play with the XML file, etc.

NMH - All DATA LOST

Media Hub Reset - All data lost
Hi,
I have NMH300, Serial No ; BTS26J306488.It was running in RAID Mode (Disk Mirror) with two 1TB Hard Disks.
The firmware was up to date.And I had enabled various services on it, like Windows Shares, FTP etc.I had also renamed the hub to "MYCLOUD"
Then one day last week when I tried to find the mediahub "MYCLOUD" on my network shares list it was no longer visible.
The status of Lights on the hub was Both disks "Blue" in colour.
Then after trying to investigate, I realised that the device has rested to its default state and all my configurations are gone. The name is also reset to "MEDIAHUB"
Then in the configuration sections, I went to "DISK" settings.
There I see that Slot B is empty.
So what I interpret from this is that one of my disks might have crashed.
But the sd part is it also says "RAID MODE" Linear1
HELP : Can linksys help me get my data back.
I feel so betrayed by the promise of a reliable NAS device by Cisco.
How can CISCO design products that are not properly tested before launching in the market.I havd approx 800 GB of data that seems to have just vanished.

Hi there,
It is sad that things like this happen. I haven't encountered any major issues with my mediahub for the past 2 years. Now, the only way that it will revert back to single disk mode is when someone would actually set it via configuration page. Now, since your two 1TB drives were set originally to RAID1, try to take out the 2nd HD (Slot 2) from the Mediahub and check if your files are still there. You can also try to take out the HD from slot 1 and replace it with the HD from slot 2 leaving just 1 HD at a time. You may do a hard reset on the mediahub as well. Doing a reset would change your disk configuration. It will only change the basic settings (mediahub's friendly name, FTP name). So just give it a shot and post some updates.
Hope this could help. I am not sure if Cisco has data recovery facility. If your HD is within manufacturer warranty, then you may try to have it recovered on their end.
Cheers!
