BROKE IPHONE - HOW TO RETRIEVE INFO NEEDED ASAP
I am hoping that someone can PLEASE help me with two things. My IPhone 4 fell into water today and is not working. It is currently sitting in rice. Ok, so here is where I need HELP, keeping in mind that I have only ever plugged my phone into my computer once for updates, but when I did, I am pretty sure that I activated Cloud. Cloud IS or shall I say WAS on my phone, and I am 96% sure that it was turned on. But I am not even sure what ICloud supports backup for.
1. I have a yahoo calendar that I am trying to access from my pc, however no recent changes or additions are showing up on yahoo. I am POSITIVE that when these appointments were entered that they were put under this e-mail account, because each time, I manually access it and file it in the appropriate color coded section according to what it is. I can not find any way to sync the calendars from my pc without the use of my IPhone.
Now, here is an option...my husband's IPhone does have access to the same calendar, however, it has not updated in quite some time, and he has no idea why. I am going to try to delete the account on his phone and hopefully I can access it that way, so I can at least see what appointment that I have this week. I am so lost.
2. I have my own seperate ITunes account with my own user name and password. I use my user name and password everytime that I install or update Apps. Again, I have pretty much no experience with ITunes...my husband set everthing up for me. I thought that maybe going into my Itunes might show me something...anything that I lost from my phone. Maybe how to access iCloud? When I access ITunes from my computer, it originally showed up with all of my husbands information, so I signed him out and signed in with the user name and password that I use on my phone. It is showing that I am logged in and has all of my contact info, but it is still showing my husbands info...his songs...his apps. I don't even have songs on my IPhone. Why is this happening?
I would be soooooo appreciated to anyone that can help me with all of these issues...I think I may cry.
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to try to help me.
Hi! I just wanted to touch base and let you know that after 24 hours in rice in from of an electric heater it is working again and so far shows no signs of problems.
I really don't have a clear undertanding of ICloud or how any of my information is backed up on my phone and want to try to ensure if something happens again that I know I am protected.
Also, I was wondering if you can suggest what the best calendar to use is. I was using Yahoo and I have everything on my phone but when I go online nothing is there. So it is not syncing. I email yahoo and they went round and round with me and never answered me as to why and just sent me back to their stupid help page.
The reason I liked it was b/c I was able to color code the different calendars I had set up. I had one for my daughters appts, one for mine, one for my husbands appts...you get the point.
Can you make any suggestions as to what is the best to use...something that gets backed up on the iphone and through the service. I would also like to be able to sync it with my daughters and husbands phones too.
Lastly, I was wondering what is the best search engine to use on the iphone so that my bookmarks are being backed up too bc ICloud was not showing that either.
I hope all of that made sense. Thanks so much for your help! Please don't rush to get back to me...I am so busy right now that I don't even know what I am going to have time to mess with the stupid phone.
Thanks Again!!

How to retrieve info from a MacOs Standard floppy?
How can I retrieve information from a MacOs Standard formatted floppy disk on Snow Lion?
I have this collection of old floppy disks that were formatted as MacOs Standard format back in the days. They do hold some files which I'd like to backup on a backup drive.
But, Snow Lion does not read MacOs Standard formatted disks apparently.
So, does anyone know how to retrieve information from MacOs Standard formatted floppy disks?
Thank you!This what I see in ML with my old SmartDisk VST (model# FDUSB-M) floppy drive:
Interesting observations:
1. I was able to add and remove files to the disk.
2. I was not able to erase the disk with Disk Utility. It returned an error.
3. Disk Utility did not offer the HFS+ format option, only FAT32 and ExFAT.
4. I could only find 1 floppy in my house so it could be partially defective. -

TS2529 How to retrieve info from iPhone after an update deletes them
I just plugged an iPhone into iTunes for 1st time in over a year. Updated everything. Now my contacts, pics etc have gone. HELP
Restore the device from the backup created prior to the update.
FYI, never update a device or computer without first ensuring that a backup exists.
It is never a good idea to rely on a single device for storage of important things like pictures and contacts.
The iPhone is designed for the user to sync their contacts to a supported application on the comptuer, a cloud service, or an Exchange server.
The iPhone is not designed to be sole storage for photos/videos. Like with any digital camera, it is up to the user to copy these off to a computer regularly.
Going forward, use the device as designed and there will never be a concern about lost data. -
How to retrieve info from a XP.diskimage file
I'm running XP on a SunPVI II card on a SunBlade 1500. One of the Windows system files is corrupt and I can't boot into Windows. I no longer trust this configuration so I'd like to either retrieve my files from the XP.diskimage od copy it to a PC and get the information that way.
So ar I'm having no luck finding ANY usable information regarding this problem but I'm really hoping someone here can help out.
Thanks in advance for any and all help

Another thing you can do is use dd to create an image of your driveSunPCI appears to keep it's own 1024 byte header at the start of the disk image, so this needs to be removed if the disk image is to be read on a PC.
e.g. the following copied a SunPCI III diskimage on a SunBlade 2000 to a USB SD card, which was readable when plugged into a PC:
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# dd if=2K.diskimage of=/tmp/2K.diskimage bs=1024 skip=1

itunes asked me if iwanted to erase all my files on my iphone when i connected it to my second computer.
i clicked yes
and all of my very important voice memos were deleted
however none of my photos were deleted...... and they count as files don't they?
anyway i need help on how to retrieve deleted voice memos
PLEASE HELP!!!You should never try to sync your phone with more than one computer or you will lose your data. The pictures were not deleted because the sync process does not touch Camera Roll pictures (it only includes them during the backup step of the sync process).
If you had these voice memos on your phone when you last synced it to your first computer, and if you haven't synced to this computer since then, you could restore from the backup created during your last sync. This will replace the data on your phone with the data from this older backup so anything new will be lost. If you think that is the case, do not sync your phone again to the first computer prior to restoring from this backup or you will overwrite it and the backup will be lost. Instead, prior to connecting your phone to your first computer, open iTunes and disable automatic syncing by going to iTunes Preferences and on the Devices tab checking "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and select Restore From Backup and choose your last backup (containing your voice memos).
If you didn't have these voice memos on your phone when you last synced to your first computer, or if you have synced again to your first computer since losing your data, then your voice memos and other data are lost. -
HT5824 How do retrieve my calendar for my iphone? All the events disappeared on my last sync.
How do retrieve my calendar for my iphone? All the events disappeared on my last sync.
to retrieve from where? If you synced with icloud all you need to do is go to settings- icloud- turn calendars on. After a minute your calendars should show up and if they do not you can try to turn off and then on again. If they still didn't show - they were never synced with icloud and then the first question to retrieve from where? comes back to us.

I have an iPhone 3G. I need to know how to retrieve accidentally deleted text messages. Is that possible? Please say yes! Thanks
Myself and my girlfriend use the decipher textmessage program. She's on windows and I use the version for my macbook pro. It works cool and lets you save your text messages from your iphone to your computer. I've actually recovered a few deleted messages with it too which was helpful since I'm a laywer and needed them for work. Their site is:

Good luck! Hope you and your family are able to recover your sms messages! -

How to retrieve photos on my iPhone? i reset it without doing back up, tnx
how to retrieve photos on my iPhone? i reset it without doing back up, tnx
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - ASAP as with any other digital camera, and especially before restoring the iPhone with iTunes or before erasing all content and settings direct on the iPhone.
With no import and no iPhone backup, the photos are gone. -
The personal hotspot has been disappeared in my iphone 4s when i turned on it. how to retrieve it again....
What phone company do you use. There needs to be more information about what is exactly going wrong. Becasue if you are in the USA then the hotspot feature can be turned off and on by the carrier, Such as what Verizon does, if you do not pay for the feature. If that is not the issue then there would have to be a software problem, which there are a few solutions to. One being take it to the apple store and letting them fix it, if it is not an issue with your phone company
