Can I recover non-backed up voice memos after accidental restore?

I went to the apple store genius bar when the camera is my phone ( (iOS6) was failing. they asked if my phone was backed up and I said yes, but actually had not backed it up in 3 weeks. I had unchecked the auto-sync button pn my ma because my hard drive was too full, and before going to the apple store, clicked on the Sync button, which is not the Backup button --so I screwed up and thought it was backed up.
I actually had 3 weeks of very important voice memos and have been trying to recover them ever since. several geniuses said they thoguht there was software that would help, but I have had no luck. an iphone engineer told me he didn't think it was possible. clearly, if this was a regular hard drive or flash drive, it would be posisble to recover data after reformatting, as long as the data was not overwritten. however, the iphone encryption seems to be the difference here.
since my phone still has the camera issue and was under warranty, apple has offered me a new phone but I have held off, as I still am trying to find a way to get my data.
anyone know how--or is it totally impossible?
thanks

As long as you don’t disable the automatic sync option in iTunes, it will automatically generate a backup for your iOS device when you plug your device into your Mac or PC, and the backup file updates along with your every sync. So it is certainly sure and easy to restore iPhone from iTunes backup with Vibosoft iTunes data recovery. That is, you can recover your iPhone/iPad/iPod data from the recent iTunes backup whenever the data is missing.

No voice memos after iPhone 6 sync

I just backed up my iPhone 4 and set up my iPhone 6, and none of my voice memos are appearing on the iPhone 6. Any suggestions?

It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
Keep in mind that if you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

Lost Voice Memos after iOS 8.1 Upgrade

I have lost all of my voice memos after upgrading to iOS 8.1. I can't even find them when I restore from backup. AND I can't access my backup via iCloud. HELP! These were irreplaceable memos. Any suggestions?

Try Dr.Fone to scan your iPhone for the voice memos.

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

Can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD

can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD, these are very important emails, after reformatting my hard drive to fix some trouble i was having w/ maverics, these copies were deleted, and my icloud deletes messages more than a month old. help??

Hi,
If you use the iCloud.com login or the Mail App and "fetched" the Mail and deleted that way there is not way to get it back.
You could have archived it or placed it in Folders (created in Mail or on the web Login) and that will have stored them on the IMAP server and they would have been retrievable.

Can I recover pictures to my iPhone 4 after restoring to factory settings?

Can I recover my pictures to my Iphone after restoring to factory settings on of via iTunes ?

Possibly... contact the photo center and ask them if they offer such a feature or app.
This is not an iPhone, iOS, or Apple issue.

HT201328 How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone?

How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone? I don't have access to another sim card at the moment. Only my AT&T sim card.

A sure way to check is to connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click Restore iPhone (not Restore Backup). If the phone is unlocked near the end of the Restore iTunes will display "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked."

HT4859 When I tried to restore my new iPhone all I got was my contacts, all of my images and voice memos are gone. I was backing up via wi-fi at home to the iCloud. How can I retrieve the images and voice memos?

The voice memos, in particular, are important as they contain several conversations I had with my, now decieced, grandmother. I was under the mistaken impression that everything was being backed up nightly when I was connected to wi-fi at home and plugged in to a charger.

You could try restoring the backup again. Sometimes people have more success the second time.

Can't sync voice memos after updating to iTunes 11.3

Hi, since I've updated to 11.3 I can't sync my voice memos anymore. Previously worked, now it doesn't. No errors, I can see the messages in the phone and in iTunes when looking at the "On This iPhone" tab, but outside of that no dice. I can't sync them and I can't email them because they are too large.
Anyone else experiencing this same problem?

I'm just going to add how much I love how it takes me 3 or 4 hours of uninstalling, reinstalling and wiping, restoring, syncing and resyncing my phone to get one simple voice memo over to my PC from my iPhone. You guys at Apple really know convenience. It only takes me a half a day to do what it used to take weeks to do back in the 19th century. That's progress!

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!
