Backed up iphone 4S before updating to ios 6 and now all data is lost. PHOTOS, CONTACTS, MESSAGES ALL GONE. help?!

Can someone please help...
Before updating itunes backed up the phone. It then proceeded to update to the ios 6, afterwards when restoring all photos, contacts, messages... all data... was lost. Only the apps were restored back onto the phone. I used a back up from when i first got the phone in 2011 to restore it too so i have some photos and contacts... HOWEVER, over 2000 photos are lost and some contacts still from the recent back up and restore after updating to ios6.
Any help as to how to get these back?!

Hi MorganClare990,
Do you know if you have a backup on another comptuer or maybe iCloud?
If you had Photo Stream on you might be able to get any photo that is less than 30 days old back from iCloud if you don't have a backup.
Make sure you have a WIFI connection available and the correct password for that network before continuing with the next steps.
The easiest way to find out if you have a backup without mixing your boyfreinds data into your iCloud account is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. You will need to be able to connect to the WIFI network to be able to restore your phone from any iCloud backup you have. If no backup can be found then it will have you setup the iPhone as new and will walk you through the steps to make sure a backup gets created in the future. If you have to setup as new it will also get photo stream setup and will retrieve any pictures it can.
Hope this helps and you get your pictures and contacts back!

Where did you buy this iPhone and how did you unlock it?

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried?

If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.

I tried to do the same, but couldn't find ios 6. I even tried the APPstore, to download the last IOS6 version.
The most problem is the running out of the battery.
I've checked each app who is "eating" the most power.
The battery stoped runaway, when I closed the weather service....
So for now, I will use regular internet service, and probbaly will do to more app.
Until, finaly, I will find my self with all the applications closed....:-)
That will be the sign, to replace my phone to anderoid....:-)
Till now, there is no any sign from Apple to have a glance to our complanes.

Yes, yes, yes... I've gone through all the common sense trouble shoots. Would't be here asking questions if that answers existed on the net. Sorry if I sound a bit edgey, but I've had nothing but issues with every update since IOS 7. Clearly there's nothing that can be done about this. and this is the final nail in the coffin to try to make me buy an Iphone 5.

ASk your friend who unlock the phone for him/her.
ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
bAse on your description, it sounds like your friend had his/her phone hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

HT4972 *** my iPhone 4 just updated to ios6 and now I can't message photos or install apps?

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Did you change your credit card in itunes under your account to one from another country. That sometimes will change the language on your apps try This "Click on your email address in the top right of iTunes to get to your account details, then click the "change" button next to your "Country/Region". Select a country for which you have (access to) a credit card. iTunes will ask you for credit card information when you save this country setting.

Backed up Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, photos etc) are from 2 years ago. It did sync a current backup??

I backed up my Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, phone, calendar, apps, books) from the last 1 1/2 years is gone. Where is all my current stuff? Why will it not restore my current info? Thanks!!

The first time an 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 to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
