Data lost after Update to ios5

is there any way to recover data from an iPhone? I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 5.01 and the backup didn't copy any of the contacts, photos, etc.. I need all my data back please help.  Its a new computer so there was no other backup than the one it made for the update.

Were these backups made BEFORE or during the update? The backup that occurs when the phone updates can be a little un-trustworthy sometimes. That's why everywhere (including Apple) recommend making frequent backups using the right-click method, not the sync or update way (done by right-clicking on the name of the phone where it shows in 'Devices', and selecting 'Backup'). That sort of backup, ro_milan, is a complete backup, the only thing that doesn't back up into it is applications themselves (because of the amount of data Apps can take up).

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • How do I get lost data back, after update  sync all pictures, notes and mail lost

    How do you get pictures, notes contacts and mail back, lost after update on IPhone5

    Restore the backup that you made when you last synced your phone to iTunes on your computer. Alternatively, if you enabled iCloud backup on the phone, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.

  • I can't send email after updating to iOS5

    After updating to iOS5 I am having a great deal of difficulty sending email, something that never happened before. When I hit "send" I get a message "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp-server.maine.rr.com" failed.  However the kicker is that after a period of a few minutes to a few hours, the message does go out.  Help!

    I would delete the mail account from your settings and re-add it. The problem is that the server data was somehow lost when your iPhone was upgraded.

    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.

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

  • After updating to iOs5 I'm having a lot of trouble with receiving and making phone calls

    After updating to iOs5 I'm not able anymore to receive and make normal phone calls. This is very frustrating: when somebody calls me they have signal but my iPhone 4 doesn't make any sound or anything and when I try to make a call I don't hear any signal while phone rings at the other side. Sometimes if I turn the phone off and on again things go better but problem is still there. What should I do?

    we have the same problem, no solutions received until now!

  • Cellphone-Roaming impossible with iPhone 4 after updating to iOS5.

    After updating to iOS5 I'm unable to connect my iPhone 4 to a cellphone-network when in foreign countries (roaming), I only get a network in my home-country Germany?
    When trying to select a cellphone-network manually, it shows me all the available networks, but as soon as I choose one it says: "the choosen network is no longer available. You may choose another network in Settings."
    This happens with all networks shown.
    Before updating to iOS5 roaming was possible without any problem as I have the option in my contract with T-Mobile Germany since the beginning. I checked with T-Mobile Support in Germany and was told that from their side there are no restrictions.
    How can I fix this problem (which is obviously a software-problem)??

    Call your carrier & have them remove International Provisioning from your account, once they've confirmed doing so, turn your phone off...wait 30 seconds or so, then turn your phone back on. Once done, have your carrier re-provision your account for International Roaming...all countries you intend to roam in...once your carrier has confirmed re-provisioning your account, turn your phone off again...wait 30 seconds or so, then turn your phone back on. Make sure, before you go through this that Set Time Zone Automatically is on in Settings.
