Help with lost pics and contacts in upgrading and get error message when I try to restore.

I lost all pictures and contacts when I upgraded my iphone 4 (for the first time).  I did not download anything because I was using a friend's computer.  I read that apps not in itunes would be lost, but not pictures and I had 1500.  Every time I attempt to restore, I get error messages.  Please help!

If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

  • Photoshop cs2 crashes and reboot windows xp without any error message when I try to open a file

    Hi,
    I downloaded the trial version (assessment for thirty days) of Adobe Photoshop cs2. Once installed the trial version, the program works correctly, except for a basic function: to open files and modify them. Any image files (jpeg-gif-png-tiff-bmp-psd) on press command FILE>OPEN, or Ctrl+O, to open it, sends the system in crash, and without any warning message, send to "restart" the operating system, in my case , windows xp.
    I use also photoshop cs, and it works correctly and allows to open file image also; but not with cs2.
    What's the problem?

    The error message I see in a Event Viewer after the program crashed is the following:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Userenv

  • HT2731 I have created an Apple ID and password but I keep getting this message when I try to buy something in the i tunes store: "Use another apple ID"

    I have created an Apple ID and password but keep getting the following message when I try to buy something through the itunes store "Enter another Apple ID"
    I had been buying things ealier with another Apple ID that I set up for my husband. The first time I ran into this I went ahead and set up another account for my self but am still getting the same message. What do I need to do?

    you need to review the account and verify it, including payment method. If there's no option that states 'none' next to the creditcard options, you'll need to use a creditcard for this.

  • Im getting error message when i try to install os5.1, any help?

    I have got an update msg for OS 5.1 however when i try to install it, an error msg comes up with 2 option: either close or settings as a result of not being able to install the upgrade, im not able to purchase certain apps as the new 5.1 OS is needed. Any advice on how to install this upgrade please

    This happened to me too. But what I tried to do is reset my iDevice's settings, not turning my iDevice to factory mode, just go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Settings. There, you will only reset your iDevice without losing your contents but it's a pain in the butt thatyou have to set up with iCloud and wait for about 3 to 5 hours until the process is complete, well it depends on how much data you have on your iDevice. Hope this'll help you solve the problem.

  • Error message when I try to restore and update my old 3gs for my daughter

    I am getting a message that says "sorry" we cannot continue with your activation at this time. Whats that mean......?, I dont have any # codes or anything. Im trying to set up an old 3gs for my daughter, and for now (until I get the sim card from at&t) I wanted to allow her some time on the device using our wi-fi connection . Ive never seen this message before

  • I keep getting ERROR's when i try to restore ??? help!

    Whenever i try to restore i get error, and i keep getting them.
    i have the latest itunes.
    And my iphone is stuck in recovery mode, i cant use it
    please help.

    Use a smaller, more realistic font... the current posting comes across as screaming.
    Help yourself, google the EXACT error message or post it here.
    No one can offer help without specific details of the issue.... well beyond, throw the darn thing at a wall.  That would certainly eliminate the current problem.

  • Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

    Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

    I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
    I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.

  • HELP! I'm getting error messages when I try to update all of my podcasts.

    The message I get for each podcast I try to update is "There was a problem downloading "Episode Name". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I tried checking all of the URLS, unsubscribing and resubscribing, entering the URLs manually, and getting episodes individually - and nothing is solving this problem. I can't see how it would be a URL problem if it is happening for ALL of my podcasts. They all worked fine two days ago...
    Any ideas? THANKS!!

  • I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

    Is this how I start my new thread?

    Thanks.
    "Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
    I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
    And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

  • I keep getting error message when trying to sign in for iMessage with my Apple ID since upgrading to iOS 7

    I keep getting error messages when I try to activate iMessage on my iPad since installing iOS7. Anyone else having this issue or a solution. I can obviously sign in with the same Apple ID information/password as I have done here and I am connecting with Wifi now and in all other apps.

    After looking at some other posts I signed into iTunes and edited my password with my Mac. Then I powered off and restarted my iPad and all is good now.
