HT1222 Why, after an update, I lost all my private data?
Hi,
I am living in Denmark, and these days I'm in California for work/holidays.
I stupidly accepted the update proposed by my phones (in the setting menu). There was no warning at all about the fact I will need to conect it to iTune after that, otherwise, I am not that stupid, I would never have do it!
Now I just cannot use my phone as it need to be reset from iTune (not installed on the computer I have with me)... So:
1. I probably lost all my pictures since last time I plugged synchronized my phone when I was in Denmark
2. I cannot get my work and personal emails
3. iPhone, as its name mentioned it a phone... how do I phone when my screen shows "connect to iTunes" ???
4. I will drive a few 100s miles in US... how do I acces my music when my screen shows "conect to iTunes"
What the #### is that?
Where is the HQ of Apple? As I'm in CA, maybe I should go there and throw it through one of their windows?
I bet that there is no way to downgrade my phone as it was before?
Can somebody call my boss, my parents and my girlfriend that I will give signs of life when I'll be back to Denmark? And ask them not to blame me of fire me?
Seriously, until now I was really happy about Apple products, despite their restrictions, but this is definitely too much!
Any recommendations?
On the screen on the iPhone does it show a usb cable pointing up to the iTunes synbol?. If it does then your iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored through iTunes on a PC/Mac.
Now in terms of the data you lost, would you know if you backed it up to iTunes/iCloud?. Did you sync data with iCloud at all? e.g. contacts, calendars.

Yesterday I did update to Firefox OS 1.1.0.0 rev. 01061. Then all my contacts were missing. So I tried to add contacts again but was impossible to use the contacts application because always that I pressed the done button, after filling contact information, nothing happened, the contacts list was still empty. I tried importing contacts from SIM card, the application show me a progress but finally the contact list was empty.
Is it possible to downgrade the firmware?Hi jsuarez_m
Thanks very much for the log file you provided before this, I really appreciate it and I apologize for my late reply. I believe we have found this bug and provided a fix in a new build, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938564, but I don't know when this will become available in an update to your device.
You can try to factory reset, in the meantime, but you will loose data and have to re-configure your apps even if the contacts app is not restored to normal.
I suggest that you return the device to the shop where you purchased it, to let them know that the official update caused the problem and request that they fix the device. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Best Regards,

Can any one help?
Hi,
Thanks for replying so quick. I think before the update the apps were not in the library. Now after the update the apps are in the itunes libary minus the game data. I think that happened because I tried to find my game data. I search my pc and found a previous itunes libraries folder and when I used that I found a file I clicked on a file called itunes Library 2012-01-10 that opened in the itunes library. The date on that file was the date of the upgrade to 5.0.1. when I lost all my games data.
There is another file in the itunes libcalled iTunes Library 2011-03-16 would it be worth trying to download that as it may have more game data?
I ment to say the devices tab not table it is the option in the iTunes app to find out about your device. -

Your apps will only be where you put them. if you failed to put them on your computer beore updating, then they would certainly be gone.

Why after I updated my iPhone 4S to the new software it goes dim on its on? I have to hit the sleep button or go to setting to fix it. This has to be a bug.
Hello 6underwood,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
Best of luck,

I backed up my ipod. I then updated it but all of my data is still gone. How do I get my data back??
Were the app in your iTunes library? If not the app data in the backup has no place to go. Redownload the apps in your iTunes libaray
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and then restore from backup.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
Otherwise, try restoring from backup again.
If still problem that means the backup does not include the data.
