Help - I have lost all my data on iPhone!
I have had my iphone for 2 years and have never updated the software or backed up the data by syncing - I am not great with technology! My husband connected my iPhone to itunes last night to update my software and this has deleted all my data on my iphone (contacts, photos, messages, apps etc) and restored to factory settings. Is there any way of getting any of this data back? I have important photos on their and contacts I really need. My husband tried to use the 'restore' options on itunes but as I have never backed up my data on itunes this did not seem to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Lisa
Just one try: if you update your iPhone software via iTunes (not over-the-air!) iTunes always does a backup of your phone first. You can restore from this backup!!!
Check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (see: iTunes -> How to restore from backup) and good luck.

If you have a backup with iTunes you can restore the device from that. If not the data is gone.

They disappeared whilst changing sim card from old phone to new one?iPhone Contacts aren't stored on the SIM so it can't be anything to do with that.
What are you syncing your contacts with? iCloud, iTunes, Outlook, Exchange etc.?
Where are your contacts backed up? -

I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation. Can anyone help me?
You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 :(
I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way at all i can recover the data?! Help pls!!!
Actually, if you have never backed up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud manually, there are still possibilities that iTunes or iCloud has backed up your iPhone automatically: every time you sync the iPhone with iTunes, iTunes will back up your iPhone automatically; if your iCloud backup was enabled, every time your iPhone is connected with Wifi and a power source with screen-locked, iCloud will create a backup automatically. If you find the backups, but the backups are not up to date, and you don’t want to lose the data generated after the backups, you can extract the lost data from the backups using the iPhone backup extractor.
In addition, you can also try to use the iPhone data recovery software to scan and recover the data on your iPhone directly even if you have no backups of your iPhone. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen. -

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

Please help... I have lost all my data!!
Aaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!! OMG!!!
Ok. Let me explain you. Let's see...
I decided to hard-reset my phone (i.e.., restore factory defaults, via pressing *#7370# when phone is idle). Before doing that, I did a back-up of all my data via the "Back Up memory card", with the File manager application.
After doing the reset, when I try to restore the copy, it starts the process. Suddenly, the bar gets full in less than a second; I get an error but It goes too fast for me to be able to read it. After that, the "The phone will restart" message appears, and the phone restarts. But when it comes back, no data has been restored.
By meanings of trying this several times, I now know that the "fast message" says the phone is out of memory, and that I have to close some applications.
But... Why is happening this???!!!! I mean, before the hard reset, the phone had the data stored on the memory phone... Why now it can't? By the way, what applications am I supposed to close, if the phone is completely empty!?
Please... Tell me there is a way to have access to this data... Tell me I can copy it to the PC and, in some way, by meanings of some program, decompress it and restore my contacts and SMS... Please...Sorry about that worth trying Ovi suite as well, I sync my phone about once per week, and when I do a reset (which is quite often with the N97) I can get the basics of my phone up and running in about ten minutes, a full backup and restore can cause problems anyway as if you have a problem with the phone and do a restore the problem may be restored as well. I normally just backup contacts Calendar and Notes and do everything else manually. Hope you manage to get a solution for your dilema .
Good Luck

TS3682 I have just reset my phone but I have lost all my data from my phone how do I retrieve my dat
How do I recover my data as I have lost it from my phone but it would not retrace it from iTunes either so how am I supposed to get my data back please someone tell me I am really anoid by this happening so how would I get my data back if there is a way then that will help me
You should be storing everything on your computer and/or cloud service. Nothing should only be on the iphone. The iphone simply allows your computers content to be portable.
Where is your "data" stored? -
Following a problem with my IPad and restoring it, I have lost the data in one of my game Apps ... I can see in ITunes/ pref my iPad back ups and want to try to sync with an older back up to get the data back. So how can I sync with an oldera back up?
In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.
