HELP!  Who knows how to restore iPhone without losing information?

I don't want to reset my phone back to the factory settings. Is there anyone who has info on how to do this?

What exactly are you trying to do or accomplish? When you restore, it will erase everything. There is no getting around that. If you back the unit up first in iTunes, you can do a restore, and then select your backup when prompt, and it should restore all your apps and settings back to normal.

  • How to restore iphone without losing everything

    Do you have any iCloud or iTunes backups?
    If not, then, at this stage, you may have already lost everything.

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
    Cheers, Rob

  • I am using system 10.7.3 and my I photo 9.2.3 keeps crashing upon start up.  Does anyone know how to correct this without losing my photos?

    I am using system 10.7.3 and my I photo 9.2.3 keeps crashing upon start up.  Does anyone know how to correct this without losing my photos?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • How to sync IPhone without losing data?

    I have not gotten a new computer.
    I haven't used iTunes for the computer in a long time. Probably about a year or two. On iTunes on my pc, I have 99 songs. On my iphone, I have 237. Once before, I tried to sync my itunes and iphone but it erased my songs and filled my entire playlist with a bunch of songs nobody has ever heard of. I was stuck with a bunch of songs I never wanted, and lost my old ones. I had taken my phone to the apple store where they fixed it, and I haven't used itunes since. I have obviously purchased alot of songs since then and I want to update my itunes library so they are all in there because I am supposed to be getting a new phone soon. But I'm afraid that I will end up losing some sort of data in the process, and I do not use the icloud or anything since I find it rather confusing. I don't want to lose hundreds of dollars in music because of a computer program.
    I also have CD's that I've downloaded to my computer and want to put into my itunes library then upload the new music to my phone, but yet I am still scared to do anything with the chance I may lose my songs. I feel if I try to sync, my iphone will take the 99 songs from my pc and then the other 138 songs will be long lost.
    How do I sync without losing any content?

    If there is media content on the device that isn't in your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    The user tip includes a link to a backup tip which you should use to make sure that you can recover your library in the event of a problem.

  • How to restore iphone without installing ios 8

    hi,
    my sister wasnt using her iphone for a month (i dont know why), yesterday she charged it and guess what? it has been locked for 44 years (it says try after 23.480.302 minutes later), i tried to restore the iphone but it will install ios 8, i dont want to install it because iphone 4s has 8gb storage and available space is 5.98gb but ios 8 needs 5.5 gb to be installed that is why i dont want to install ios 8.
    how can i restore iphone 4s to ios 7.1.2 ?
    help me please.
    thanks in advance.

    I'm actually having the exact same problem. I switched from 4s to 6, and I bought all new ringtones. Then the update happened, and I had to use the link to restore my ringtones. Now, I lost my favorite ringtone for some reason, and I can't restore it. It's in my library, but not on my phone. And I have to buy it again, apparently.I just don't want to buy it again, only to lose it again, you know?

  • TS1702 Restore iPhone without losing apps

    Is there not a way to restore iPhone OS6 without having to start over installing apps??

    Maybe, but you'd have to try it.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer running iTunes via USB cable.  On the info page, you'll see the "Update" and the "Restore" button.  Don't use Restore; that will refresh everything and force you to reinstall apps.  Instead, hold down the Option button and hit "Update."  That should pop-up a box that allows you to choose the version you want to update to.  Select the iOS 6 installation package and go.  It may work.  I've used that technique when Update wasn't recognizing a newer version that was available and it worked fine, but I don't know if it will work when the two versions are the same.  Good luck!

  • How to restore iphone without updating software

    how do i get my iphone 3 to restore without updating to ios 4.1.2 i have tried unchecking "check for software updates automatically" but it still won't just restore what else should i try?

    You can't.  Part of the restore process involves updating the iOS.
    The only reason why you wouldn't want to update your iOS is because your phone is jailbroken.  Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed on this forum.

  • Who knows how to fix iphone 5s blue screen of death and itunes error 4013?!

    Hi
    Last day, dec 14th, a blue screen of death appears on my iphone 5s, aparently because I was installing facebook app.
    After that, the iphone remains restarting over and over non stop, until the battery shutoff.
    I try to press home and power/sleep buttons for 10 secs, but stil continuous with the blue screen.
    After that, with battery charged, I tried to hold the home button and simultaneously connect to an usb cable (the cable is in perfect conditions) to start itunes.
    Its worked, but now, everytime shows an itunes message: error 4013, "the iphone cannot be restored".
    What can I do now?!
    Thanks

    Hi Tks777,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see an "error 4013" when you try to restore your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps:
    Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • How do I sync without losing information between two computers?

    I downloaded some tv shows from my itunes at work and I wanted to put them on my itunes at home. Unfortunately, I got a message saying that I was going to lose all of the information in my iphone 4 if I synced it.

    You do not.  The iPhone like all iDevices is designed to sync to one and only one computer/library.
    Syncing to a 2nd computer will wipe the device and load selected content from the new computers library.
    Here's a thought, do not install iTunes on your work computer and download items you would like on your iPhone.  That is what your personal computer at home is for.  Many companies have policies against employees using work property for personal purposes.

  • Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard?

    Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City
