All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

  • HT1414 I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before and lost all my photos, apps, contacts before.  Is there any way to recover the deleted photos deleted ?

    I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before ans as a result I lost all my photos, apps, and contacts.  I will like to recover the deleted photos as they are very important to me,  it's there a way to recover them?

    did you ever do a backup.  cause if you did say like a year ago.  it should still be there and you could at least get the info back until that date.

    try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • Window Focus Lost After Saving Page - Any Way To Get It Back With Keyboard?

    I've recently begun using Safari for Windows after having used Opera for years, and have run into a problem with window focus that I didn't have with Opera. Specifically, if you save a web page in Safari, you then find that the following functions are no longer available from the keyboard:
    1. Going back to a web page previous to the one that you just saved. Ctrl+[ does not function.
    2. Performing a search. Ctrl+F does not function.
    3. Scrolling to the bottom or top of the page. Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home do not function. (For some reason, however, the PageUp and PageDown keys do still work in this situation.)
    Why is this, and more importantly, is there a quick and easy way that you can, using only the keyboard, regain the window focus so that these functions will work again? I'm currently having to click somewhere on the page I've just saved in order to regain the focus. This is a nuisance.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks very much. Hitting 'Alt' button after saving the page does resolve the first (and most important) two of the three issues I listed above. FWIW, the Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home functions only work in this post-save scenario (as I discovered by experimenting a few minutes ago) if you hit the 'Alt' button twice (or if you do something else, like perform a search and then use Ctrl+End/Home).
    By the way, before posting a few days ago, I had tried using the Alt+Tab method when I had two or more applications' windows open, and it didn't help. But, after reading your last post, I've found that if you use Alt+Tab when Safari is the only window open, then it does resolve the issue, although of course, as you've indicated, it's not actually necessary to hit the 'Tab' key.
    Thanks again!

  • Caller ID not working after IOS update, any ideas?

    iPhone 4S, did the update yesterday, everything else seems to be working except caller id.  Suggestions?

    Have you checked the brower preferences to make sure the plug-in is enabled? It appears maybe you have.

  • Tried to sync my itouch with my laptop and accidentally erased all of my music.  HELP! Is there any way to recover my 800  songs?

    I attempted to sync my ipod touch with my laptop and accidentally wiped out all of my music!  How can I recover my 1000+ songs?!!!  PLEASE HELP!

    All media should be in the iTunes library on your computer.
    Syncing is ONE way from computer to iPhone.
    If the media was on your device, but not in your computer, then it's likely gone.
    Do you have a backup of your media somewhere else? Like an external drive?

  • All contacts lost after Syncing with Outlook (Windows)

    Hi folks,
    i had sorted out all of my wifes contacts on her iPhone. You know, all had proper phone numbers, street adresses, e-mail adresses and so on.
    Than i wanted to sync them to my Outlook, but i didn't want some old Outlook contacts to get on the phone, so i removed all Outlook contacts from the contacts folder (made a backup, clever me).
    Then i set the iPhone to sync contacts with outlook. iTunes asked if it's allright if more than 5% of my PC contacts are beeing changed, i clicked "Yes", figured the contacts on the phone are whats interesting to me, nevermind the contacts on the pc.
    So here's what itunes did:
    It copied two new contacts from the iphone which previously haven't been on the pc, to the pc and deleted all the rest from the iphone (except the two new).
    Since the iPhone was my only source of the new and improved contacts, all my work that i have put in there (better part of three hours) is gone.
    I am not sure if i should shout, scream or just enter it all again with dignity...
    Is there any way to restore the contacts? Or to prevent something like this from happening again?

    Yep me too. Installed 10.2 onto my Windows 7 PC. Had no issues sycning with Windows Contacts previously, now I can't get them onto my iPhone 4 at all. Tried all the suggestion from Apple Support, still nothing.
    Very unimpressed.

    I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
    Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

    If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
    You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for  4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

    Hello evanfromvic
    If you have a back up in iTunes, you can restore from that back up. The article below will assist with getting that backup restored.

    If you have been regularly syncing/backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you may try restoring it from the last backup.

    Make sure to turn OFF automatic syncing in iTunes before connecting your iPhone.
    Preferences - devices - "check" prevent iPhone/iPod from automatic syncing

  • Contact list deleted after ios update

    This is the craziest thing I ever imagined . My whole conytact list is gone after ios update ..

    This is not bug!
    Alas, in other Symbian smartphones I examined, the background in Contacts and background in theme are the same, and Nokia in firmware 110 for E71, E66 made the same causing inconvenience
    As for my opinion, previous always white background in Contacts looked better

  • HT4848 Is there any way to recover all datas I lost after Reinstalling the mac OS X Lion ? because I couldn't back up

    Yesterday I got back home and turned on my macbook pro and it was being stuck at the grey apple booting part! I read the instruction on the Catelog that came along the Macbook and followed the instructions and opened the Mac OS X Utilities I had to erase the drive and I didnt have any clue how to back up from the Mac OS X utilities pane as I wasnt allowed to enter my user or go further that part! So I erased and repaired the drive and I am now Reinstalling my Mac OS X Lion but when I was selecting which disk would I like to reinstall I saw my disk that contains all my photos,songs,videos etc. (called Recovery HD) but when I wanted to select it they wouldn't allow me as it says " this disk is locked" on it. Is there any way to unlock and take back my data or any way to recover what I've had ?! I really need some help .. Please help!

    Good that you can boot from your recovery disks and see your data and kudos for having a current backup.  You need to get the internal drive to be healthy so you can boot from it.
    With your recovery disk booted use Disk Utility to examine your internal drive.  Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say "Verified" or some other status?  If it is not "Verified" stop and post back.  If it is "Verified" click on "Macintosh HD" (or an alternative name for your system drive) and do a Disk Repair.  Does it repair successfully?
    Follow the instruction at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and see if that fixes the problem. If you get to the part about erasing and resintalling post back before you do that.

  • HELP! Iphoto acting funny after iOS update

    I recently did the new iOs update on my macbook pro and ever since then I am getting this message:
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    Does anyone know what to do here?
    I'm afraid if I uprage iPhoto i'm going to lose all my pictures that are already in there

    1 - IOS is NOT available for yoru MacBook Pro - IOS is only available for mobile devices
    2 - lets assume that you mean OS X - did you just upgrade to OS X 10.9.x - Mavericks?
    3 - If you did did you also upgrade iPhoto to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x?
    4 - If you did then you have to let iphoto upgrade your iPhoto library if you want to use it
    5 - as to losing your photos - of course not - unless something goes wrong - which is why you must always backup prior to any upgrade or update
    6 - if you do not always have a good, current backup you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - bad things do happen and if you do not have a good current backup you will lose stuff when it does
