How to recover SMS and phone contact information after *#7370# reset of Nokia E71?
No backup was available.
Thanks.

Actually, both the SMS and the phone numbers were gone. I thought that *#7370# was a soft reset without data loss, yet I lost all SMS and phone numbers as said. I did the soft reset because the Nokia E71 was stuck after the PIN password sometimes and I had to try several times to enter. It is a new phone with just a few days of use.
Anyway, I am most interested on recovering the SMS data if that is possible. I was thinking on something like this:

So, the question seems to be: does *#7370# on the Nokia E71 deletes the SMS data, or does it only mark them as deleted? It the latter, it should be possible to recover them. And then, how?
Thanks again.

How to delete "group" from phone contact info?

I used my Mom's computer to update my iPhone. Unfortunately, it added all her address book phone contacts to my phone book. I deleted all her contacts, but it won't let me delete her "groups" from the group list--even though the groups are "empty." Any way to delete her groups from my iPhone?

I wouldn't have been condescending had you included that you no longer have your own computer with your original post or with your reply to my post and thanked me for replying and trying to help. Those that answer questions and offer suggestions here volunteer their time to do so. Not only did you not thank me for trying to help - someone should have manners when being helped regardless if the helper is being paid to do so but even more so when the helper volunteers their time, you didn't even read what I provided very carefully. Bad enough not having any manners when asking for help, but you should at least read what is provided somewhat carefully.
That being said, I'm not wanting to make you feel stupid. I appreciate at least minimal manners and a thanks on your part. Please don't answer if you are going to be completely mannerless with someone who is volunteering their time to help you.
Now I have a new issue...is there any way to recover my missing/deleted contact information?
Since you synced your contacts with your Mom's Address Book, your iPhone contacts should be available in your Mom's Address Book and your Mom's contacts and Address Book Groups should be available on your iPhone.
Is this not the case?
Were your iPhone contacts replaced/deleted with your Mom's Address Book contacts?

HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.

How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
Hope this helps!

Help I recover sms and contacts after updating sof...

hi, after I have adjourned the software of my n70, I don't understand the why of the loss of my smses and my contacts in index book. I don't succeed them more to find. do you know how to tell me if they are saved in some briefcase or me I have definitely lost them? thanks

I´m not sure what "adjourned" means, but if it has got something to do with software update, I regret to have to tell you that your contacts and sms are gone for good, if you have not followed the advice before updating, to save all data using the Nokia Content Copier within PC Suite...
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

How to export the Exchange email and phone contact into iPhone 3GS ?

Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to export all of my Phone and email contact from the synched Exchange Server 2007 into my current iPhone 3GS.
I need to do this since I'm leaving the company and would like to know if this is possible or not, because when I dissociate my Exchange Email account from my Iphone, all of the contacts are gone as well.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You're gonna have to extract the contacts from your phone using third party software like this:

Then import into a supported application on your computer & then sync to your phone. A limitation with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync is that there is simply no other way to do so.

Can I recover sms and mms messages if I have never backed up my iphone?

Hello,
I am completely new to the Apple family and am having a hard time understanding how the initial backup to iCloud affects my deleted iMessages, SMS, and MMS correspondences. I want to recover a group of SMS and MMS conversations that my toddler deleted...I know...I know - so green I did not even initiate the lock screen. To be honest, we don't lock devices in our home. I have never backed-up/signed into iCloud from my iphone. I keep seeing posts about texts/pic not being "really" deleted as some can find them in a search. Is it possible to recover these at all without using thrid party software? Some part of me believes that becasue I have never backedup my phone, the deleted data is just waiting to be "dumped" into iCloud...maybe that is the illogical and sleep deprived part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you “Synced” your iPhone "SMS" to iTunes and/or backup to the cloud, you may be able to recover messages from an iPhone SIM Card. I use a program called iOS data recovery that will take the text messages from the backup and allow you to restore them and/or back them up to an external application.
Restore from iTunes backup:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the PC/Mac
Step 2: Open iTunes
Step 3: Click on Devices tab
Step 4: Right-click on the iPhone that’s connected and click ‘Backup’
Step 5: Note that this will effectively remove all old information on your iPhone and get the backup data on your iPhone. If you had backed up sms too in your previous iTunes backup, those will be restored to the iPhone and you should mostly recover that deleted sms messages now.

How to restore SMS and iMessage from itunes backup?

Hi, I made a backup with itunes, and made a clean install of iOS 7.1.1. When I was going to recover all my data, iTunes told me that the backup was corrupt (and I only had that backup) Using iBackUp Bot and the information linked to iCloud, I was able to recover everything from that corrupted backup, except for my sms. But in the storage section of Configuration, I can see like 1gb of data in sms, although the Messages app is empty.
Any ideas or help about how import my sms back to the iphone?
Thanks!

Same issue, previous device backed up to iCloud, then setting up new device, did the restore from icloud backup that I made last week, but camera roll is empty.
iCloud help says Camera roll is backed up. Checked iCloud backup, Camera roll is there.
Forums suggest restore from itunes, tried ... but again empty camera roll.
Clear all settings and data, as suggested in forums, bearing in mind its a new device, restore from back up, not USB but Wifi only, still empty camera roll.
Wiped it, tried restore again, still no Camera roll. Lot sof shared photostreams, but not my photos.
Download icloud PC app, only options for photos is Photostreams, no camera roll.
No way of accessing camera roll through itunes, or icloud app, or icloud.com
Is there really any point in iCloud backing up camera roll if it cant restore ?
Any suggestions, would be appreciated.

Syncing both "Contacts" contacts and "Phone" contacts to iCloud

I have an iPhone 4, and when tryig to upload my contacts from my phone to iCloud I noticed some were missing. I went through my phone and found some of my contacts are in the "Contacts" app, and others are in the "Phone" app. How do I get all of these together and onto iCloud, or at least all into one app on my iPhone?
When I attempt to sync my phone contacts to iCloud it only transfers the contacts from the "Phone" app, leaving all the contacts in the "Contacts" app behind.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but you could try something like this:
Put your phone in airplane mode so it does not connect to the internet (and to iCloud)
Restore your iTunes backup as before.
When completed, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts to Off. If prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.
If you have only a few contacts on icloud.com, you can just copy them down to re-enter later. If you have many contacts on icloud.com, download them as a vCard file to your desktop as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910, under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts".
Delete all contacts on icloud.com.
Turn off airplane mode to allow your phone to connect to icloud.
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On and choose Merge when prompted. Your recovered contacts should now be in iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and confirm that it is set to your iCloud account. If you don't have this setting you can skip this step.
If you downloaded contacts from icloud.com as a vCard in step 4, email this file to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachement to import these back to your phone and to iCloud.
If iTunes does not allow you to restore the backup while the phone is in airplane mode just leave airplane mode off and restore nomally. When the restore process begins to restore your apps on the phone, perform step 3, then wait until the restore process finishes to complete the remaining steps.

Is there any way to recover sms and notes lost after ugrading to OS4

Hi there,
I've upgraded my iP3GS to OS4 this morning, selected the backup option before starting the upgrade. Everything seemed to go perfectly well but, after the whole process was completed, I noticed that all my sms, notes, photos and contacts had been wiped out. The only backups appearing on iTunes are dated just after the upgrade. I managed to get my contacts back but still haven't figured out how to recover my texts, notes and photos? Seems that lots of people had the same issue when upgrading to OS4 but couldn't find a satisfactory answer on the forum so far. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance for your help! I had 2 years of sms and pictures there I'd really like to get back!

They should be in your backup that was done before the update. Restore again with your backup.

Have you activated iCloud on your Mac? Have you configured iCloud to sync Contacts for to your Mac in System Preferences?
