How to save your photos after upgrading to iOS 6 OTA and stuck in DFU or Recovery Mode

Ive been working on this all day. I found somebody's JAR that is able to provide SSH acess into your phone even if you are stuck in recovery or dfu mode. I am running a macbook pro with win 64 bootcamp and couldnt get itunes 32 bit installed to work with the JAR so I restarted in MacOS rather than mucking around with getting itunes 32. I then clicked the JAR and mac asked to install a java runtime. After doing this, the JAR would run and eventually put my phone into a state where I could SSH into it. After that, I downloaded Cyberduck and copied /mnt1 and /mnt2 to my mac in case I needed anything off of these. I ran PhotoRec and it began to find tons of pictures, pdfs, and whatnor. Rather than wait for it to find the stuff I really wanted, I searched through /mnt2/mobile/media/dcim/ and got all my pics. Awesome. What a pain.
That took all day to figure out. Ugh.

Sorry, the link to the JAR is http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/ssh-working-on-ios-6.377392/

  • What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

    What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

    Hi arnpa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
    In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
    When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
    And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.

    If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

    I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yugendra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
    Contacts at a glance - iPhone
    Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2.  Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing.  Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad.  IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.  Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

    I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
    Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
    This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
    You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
    This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
    To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
    If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
    Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
    If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

  • HT4623 How to restore contacts list after upgrading to iOS 7.2

    How do I restore the contacts list I had on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to iOS7.2? The folder is completely empty/ Thanks

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
    If you have failed to sync them to your computer or cloud service, then they are gone.

  • Can't seem to import my photos after upgrading to iOS 6

    I have an iPhone 4S and just upgraded to iOS 6. I used to import my images to my computer using Preview on my iMac, but today when I tried doing that, no photos appeared. I also noticed that the name of my phone is now "Apple iPhone" when I connect, when it used to be called the name of my phone ("Miellen's iPhone" for example). I tried with Image Capture and iPhoto, and none of them showed any images from my phone when connected. It was like they connected to a phone with no photos.
    Can't import my images! Aargh, what happened?

    Connected my iphone AFTER unlocking and could import all photos.

  • Photos after upgrading to iOS 8 not uploaded to iCloud

    Before updating to iOS 8 I had in iOS 7 deactivated the service Photostream. All of my 200 photos I had stored only in memory of my iPad. After updating to iOS 8 I activated Photostream. The photo is there but not uploaded. They are still in the memory of the iPad. The new post-shooting photos uploaded to iCloud without problem. Is there any possibility of my 200 photos to get iCloud? Thank you and sorry for bad English.

    Same thing happened to me. I realized it was Foursquare the app that was consuming the location service constantly. I went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and disabled Foursquare for location services.
    Maybe you have Foursquare or another similar app that's consuming the location service. Perhaps you should try disabling the apps in Location Services one at the time.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards.

  • IPod touch 4,1 bricked after upgrading to iOS 6.0 and then 6.0.1.

    Hi all
    I have an iPod touch 4th generation, 8GB. The other week I installed the new iOS 6.0 software update, from 5.1.1. after installing and rebooting the iPod just when black, I have assumed that it's been bricked, but how? It just stays black, sometimes it'll reboot, but then go black again, sometimes it'll do the infinite loop of death! Then I force it into Recovery mode, clicked Restore and after iTunes extracing the IPSW, it came back with error -1 ????? So I put it into DFU mode, then iTunes showed that iOS 6.0.1 was released. iTunes downloaded it, i put it into DFU mode and then restore to the new 6.0.1, and then everything goes well, untill it does the same as before, when I upgraded to 6.0?
    I know I can't downgrade back to 5.1.1, Apple had stopped signing old ipsws, but I do however have my previously saved SHSH blobs, I can patch them onto my 5.1.1 ipsw, but I don't know weather that's illegal or not. SO, basically, my iPod is unusable.
    Troubleshooting - what I've done:
    -I've deleted the 6.0 and 6.0.1 and being promted to download them again in iTunes, still didn't work
    -I've tried reinstalling iTunes, current version 10.7, I run weekly Apple Software updates to get the lastest
    -I've tried using different USB cords, Apple 30-pin connector cords, don't know if that was necessary
    What Haven't done:
    -Never Jailbroken this iPod
    -Never moderated, read, write or execute any iPod software or any of the Raw system files
    My iPod was just fine before all this crap happened, I depend on it for everything, although the Capacity isin't great, and the RAM is just ****, please someone help :'(

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Note the article includes :"the device may need service".:

  • No connection to Wifi after upgrade to iOS 7.1 AND poor battery life

    Hi,
    after upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS to 7.1, I cannot connect to any Wifi anymore. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?
    Additional, I am wondering why battery life is much worse after the upgrade. I closed all apps via multitasking view. Nevertheless, battery is empty within a couple of hours. (before the upgrade, it lasted approx one day!!!)
    Any help is highly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    After every iOS update there are reports of users experiencing faster than normal battery drain.  Most find that basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide resolves the issue.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). 
    I am not having issues with battery drain on my device, it was at 50% around 2PM today, removed off the charger at 6:30AM and I'm a fairly heavy user of the device.

  • Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1

    I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
    Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
    Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
    However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
    Few observations :
    1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
    2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
    3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
    4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
    5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
    6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
    7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
    8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
    9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
    10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
    Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
    However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
    Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
    Any suggestions ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • How to save your photos to a usb flash drive

    Hi, I was wondering how I can remove my Photos using a usb flash drive. I know I can save them in the Cloud and prefer not too. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

    You're going to need a computer to do this, no direct way. For instance you could send them to Dropbox, then from there use a computer to download the files from Dropbox to a flash. Or use a WiFi transfer App on the iPad to send the photos to a computer than has the desktop version of the App, and then copy to flash drive.

  • How to recover audiobook bookmarks after upgrade to iOS 7?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and here's one of the issues that this brought up:
    I used to listen to audiobooks in the built-in Music app and the app would show the bookmarks or a time-code where I left off listening to my audiobooks and begin playing from that same spot even if I switched to listen to something else in the meantime. I'm concerned now because after this upgrade it doesn't show my bookmarks anymore.
    How do I get them back?

    Had you backed up the phone via iTunes or iCloud? If so, the backup includes audio book bookmark in the iCloud and you will be able to restore that backup to a replacement iPhone.
    If you had been syncing your phone to back it up, you can use 3rd party software like iPhone Bookmark Recovery to try to recover some of your data from your backup.  However, if your audio books are not fully included in the backup (they are only backed up as necessary to maintain call favorites and recent call lists).  This article will show what's included in the backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946.

  • After upgrading to IOS.5, "Contacts" and "Good" icons are still apparent but inactive

    Welcome screen appears for less than one second and then disappear

    So just got off the phone with a senior Apple support person and here is the fix they gave me for the app issue.  Not sure if it will work until I get home to try it.  It appears that a lot of these issues are in relation to Apple's move from a generic Apple ID not attached to a specific email to an actual email address.  Since my .mac or .me email was never verified with my original Apple ID (just my name) the iCloud was not recognizing that I actually had any apps associated with my account when signing in with the new .mac email that was connected to the iCloud.  The below fix she stated would separate the iCloud and iTunes allowing the iCloud to handle all of my mail, contacts, calendars etc. and iTunes/store to handle the apps and purchases.  I will update again if this takes care of the issue.
    Go to applied.apple.com
    -       sign on with existing Apple ID (not an email address)
    -       add an email to your account and verify it
    -       edit your Apple ID to the new verified email address
    On iTunes
    Step #1
    -          iTunes store
    -          click on Apple ID in the upper right corner
    -          click edit
    -          edit Apple ID to new verified email address associated to account
    Step #2
    -          synch device with cord
    -          click on device
    -          go to the App tab
    -          deselect synch apps
    -          apply
    -          synch
    -          go to the App tab
    -          select synch apps
    -          apply
    Step #3
    -          on device go to store and enter the new verified email address as ID and password under store
    You probably will have to do this to all devices that are synching with your iTunes account
