HT1414 iphone 4 back up and update

I have updated my iphone 4 without backing up first have I lost all my photos and contacts or are they saved on my computer some where
Tracey

That's too bad.
If the user failed to make a backup before updating, the data is gone.

    Hi All, i recently done a back up and update & restore, but ive lost my notes, my text messages and my reminders and notes on the calender, i also have lost the data i had in an app which was very important to me. Please Please help me,  i,m total novice.
    I did this back up because i was instructed by my service provider. This was supposed to sort out my losing connection problem, which it didn't, it instead gave me a new problem. If there is anyone out there who can help me to retrieve my lost information i would appreciate it.
    Thank You in advance.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1.  Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone.  Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone.  What do I do?

    I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
    the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
    the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
    I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
    And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied.

  • HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

    how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

    Use the device as designed.
    Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk.  That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device.  Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
    If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.

  • IPhone 4s: Backup, Restore, and updating questions??

    So, over the course of the last couple weeks, my iPhone 4s has been lagging, freezing and some apps are crashing. I'm assuming I should do a restore on the phone. I've never done one before, so I'm a little nervous about it. So I have some questions before I get started.
    1) If I restore my iPhone to factory settings and then restore my latest backup will the problems that I'm having still persist? I still have 6GB of empty space on my phone (I have the 32GB) so I don't think the lagging is caused by the phone being too full. I'm just wondering if I load from the backup will the issue that's causing the phone to lag/freeze/crash just be put back on the phone when I do the restore?
    2) I haven't yet updated to iOS 8 because a few people I know did it with their phones and it essentially rendered their phones unusable. I was wondering if I HAVE to update to the new iOS when I do a restore? I've heard mixed reviews on the performance of iOS 8 on the 4s, and I don't want to make any problems worse.
    3) If I do the reset to factory setting and then restore from my backup, will everything that's on my phone at the time of the backup be put right back on the phone? Will all of my photos, contacts, game data etc be transferred? Essentially, I just want to make sure that nothing at all is lost in the restore process.
    Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this as painless a process as possible I would appreciate any and all input.
    Thank you in advance!

    What can happen after doing an update is something doesn't go quite right - the phone will work fine, but you'll notice odd stuff, like it being slower than usual, locking up, etc. A restore usually resolves that.
    If the phone seems to lock up in general (ie: not just in a certain app), then doing a restore is worth doing. If a particular app tends to lock up, the issue is likely with that app.
    Wiping the phone and restoring re-installs the iOS from scratch, which will get rid of any issues that may have during an update.
    You do have to install iOS 8 at this point - Apple will, for a very short time, continue to sign older versions of iOS after a new one is released, but that usually only lasts a few days, if that.
    From what I've read, the 4S runs iOS 8 just fine. Initially, you may notice it running more slowly, but you shouldn't notice that after using it for a while.
    As for what gets transferred back - I know from an iTunes backup, you get everything - essentially a mirror image of what your phone looks like when you do the backup. Not sure if the same is true for an iCloud backup.
    Hope that helps

    you can use use Migration Assistant to migrate your settings and data from the TM backup of the macbook to the new imac. you'll also have an option to do it during the initial computer setup.
    This is a one time operation. You can not use Time Machine to keep computers synced after that. each computer has its own TM backup and they don't interact with each other.
    and when i add, change or kill a file, time machine update's this in the backup, and my macbook will notice this and update the macbook of the backup the iMac changed?
    sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. please rephrase.

  • Back up and update keeps freezing!!

    This is so frustrating! I tried to update my Bold 9900 this morning and it just froze at the back up. So I tried to just back up my phone first but it keeps freezing at "Backing up Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and it won't carry on. What am I to do? I'm having major problems with the battery and all sorts, my last blackberry was as good as gold, this one is just awful!!

    I'm having the exact same issue. At first I thought it was my new Torch 9860, but after reading this I suspect it's something in the Desktop Software. It does the same thing whether backing up to update or doing a stand-alone backup: it gets to "Database: Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and hangs.
    This is really bad because I haven't been able to get a good backup since I switched to my Torch!

  • Are coloured Iphone 4 back cases and Lcd Digitizer screens as good as Apples Original black/white ones ?

    I have recently damaged my front screen on my iphone 4 and have been looking into a replacement, i have found several sites which sell coloured iphone 4 lcd and digitizer screens and back cases..My question is will the lcd be of the same standard as the original apple black/white ones...I have asked a tech guy who hasn't fully tested them yet so am wondering if anyone knows what the pixel quality is like when playing videos etc...I am very keen on having a yellow iphone but not at the expense of the screen quality ... any feedbk is welcome

    Yea thats what im unsure of ..the parts are available on amazon.com for roughly £50 for a yellow back case and yellow front lcd and digitizer screen giving you a full yellow iphone 4 ...just a ? over the quality of the screen when playing videos etc compared to apples original ones..i think i will just have to bite the bullet and try one to see if it is as good ..if not then i guess im £50 down lol ...thanks for all your feedback tho

  • Error -37 while backing up and updating

    I was trying to backup and update my iPad from 4.3.3 to 5.1, and I get this message: "An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-37). Would you like to continue to update this iPad? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad." Can someone help?

    There are too many variables involved.
    Solving the problem could be as simple as the suggestion by "spencery" above, i.e. turn off temporarily all security software like anti-virus, firewalls, etc.
    If you do not feel comfortable with all of this, it might indeed be better that someone assists you.

  • HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software.  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them.  How can I access them?

    How can i access all my photos after backing up my iphone to the icloud?  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find them.

    You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes.  Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
    To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone.  It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.
