How to restore deleted, but not erased, data?

I just restored my iphone, from an older backup.  itunes says that the information is deleted from the device, but not erased. How do I recover this deleted information?

I have never seen a message where iTunes states that data is deleted but it has not been erased.
The only way that you can recover that data - and data is a somewhat vague term because it can refer to so many different things such as documents, contacts, notes, etc. - is to restore from a backup that contains that data or if you have a local copy of that data stored somewhere on your computer you can import it again via File Sharing, email, DropBox, etc.
So I guess at this point the next question is what data are you trying to recover?

  • HT203167 Some of my Itunes playlists have been deleted but not all of them. I never deleted them myself, just one day they didn't appear in my playlist section. How do I recover these playlists?

    So recenlty I went to my Itunes library and realized a number of my playlists have been deleted but not all of them. I never deleted them myself just one day they weren't there? How do I recover these?

    Do you have a backup you could restore them from?

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How can I delete unwanted notes from iCloud

    I have an iPhone 4S.  I turned on the iCloud feature and chose to have my Notes backed up.  Somehow I ended up with multiple copies of Note files on my phone.  When I delete the Notes I don't want from my phone, they reappear.  How do I delete the note files from my phone and have them removed from the iCloud so they are not automatically restored?

    You can't permanently delete them, but you could hide them so that they don't show in the cloud for redownloading : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

  • Are messages I have not deleted but not backed up still on a server somewhere?

    Peculiar situation - I'll explan as succinctly as I can.
    Recently I had to restore my iphone. On it were stored a number of messages that I will describe as 'not deleted' but as I had not backed up successfully in some time - *cough* two months *cough* - the backup obviously did not restore them.
    The messages app is seemingly operating normally. No interruption is noted aside from problems associated with my carrier.
    Is there a way to retrieve those messages falling into the 'not deleted but historical and not captured by the backup' part of the resulting Venn diagram?

    No.
    Your iPhone should back up whenever you connect it to your computer or if you are syncing to iCloud, whenever you plug it in while on wi-fi...

  • On a west Texas highway I believe my old 3G iphone could get data with 3 bars. My new 4S could make phone calls but not get data. An att guy told me it's because there aren't enough 4G towers yet. Other explanations?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

    Would like to repeat events monthly on calendar,  but not by date.  Would like to repeat on 1st Monday of each month, 2nd Wednesday of each month, etc.  Possible?

    Use iCal on your Mac to configure custom repeats and then sync to your iPod.  The Mac iCal allows almost infinite choices.
