HT1766 I have restored my iphone instead of backing it up and have lost lots of photos, please help?

Hi,
I have connected my phone to itunes and restored it instead of backing it up. I have lost about a years worth of photos.
My apps and notes are still there though.
please can anyone help me to recover my lost photos?
Thanks

Hey
To answer your question, a restore deletes everything of your iphone/ipod/ipad. Unless you have your photos on your comupter or a memory stick then sorry but you have lost them. Make sure that you back up ur iphone in the future regularly so that you dont lose ur stuff.
Hope it helps Peter

You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

Hello there, BundyA.
Error 3 is usually associated to security software settings. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information and links for troubleshooting the issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
This section should prove useful:
Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

F.F. keeps telling me i need an ActiveX Plug-in but i can not find one for 3.5.11. This is the first time i have ever had a problem and totally lost here...please help. Jared

I was going to add some new ringtones to my cell and in trying to listen to the samples i keep getting the Firefox needs to an ActiveX Plug-in would i like to be directed to where it is but nothing there matches....
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Every time i have tried to go to site to review ring tones...

Firefox, and most other browsers except IE, does not use ActiveX. See [[ActiveX]]
You can try this add-on to see if it will allow you to listen to the ring tones by using IE's rendering engine in a Firefox tab:

My phone has died. I tried upgrading my Iphone 3gs yesterday to ios. It failed to update, it has failed to restore. Now its just showing a plug and Itunes on the screen. Please help soonest

My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has. I will be very grateful to receive any form of help out there.

The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

IPhone doesn't appear in iTunes and neither do CDs!! PLEASE HELP

So I am still unable to UNINSTALL AVG linkscanner for Mac and i feel this is really disrupting the mac since it doesn't update at all.
Our iPhones and iPods are all unable to sync to the imac but they just charge. Also CDs are not able to appear on the mac when inserted but the mac OS X disc was able to appear on screen.
pleasee help me get this fixed!! because the assistance we got was just saying to Restore it but I know there are other ways to fix it other than restore it

The AVG Linkscanner install .dmg includes an uninstaller (with a trash basket icon). If you don't have the .dmg file, you can download it again here: http://linkscanner.avg.com/Mac/index.html

HT204053 on my iphone 3gs, I tap settings, icloud and the account is incorrect. Please help!

On my iphone 3GS, I tap Settings, iCloud. The account is incorrect and light grey, which will not allow me to edit the account. Other problems stemming from this have to do with storage and photo stream.

Thanks!
This is what I mean:
In the settings on my iPhone, I click iCloud which puts me at a screen and at the top is iCloud Account Information. Under that is Apple ID. This is where the wrong id is.
Further down the page is the Storage Plan information, which says cannot load storage plan.
Also, iCloud Back-up: " iCloud Backup is inable to access the (wrong account, again). Review your account information in settings." I did and ran into the problem above.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on and i've tried everything. Please help.

I had left my phone on my bed and took a shower, when i had came out there was the silver Apple logo with the black screen so I held down the home and power buttons simultaneously and my phone had shut off completely. I have now tried everything to get it to turn back on, and I'm starting to run out of options.

Open iTunes on your computer and try connecting your phone. See if iTunes reports that your phone is in recovery mode. If so you will have to restore it.

HT4061 i have just restored old back up onto my iphone instead of backing up - the photos messages etc i had have now disappeared - stupidly i had not backed them up previosly is there anyway of unrestoring the phone???Please Help!!!

Unless the photos are synced somewhere to your computer or somewhere else I don't believe you can.

Under iCloud backup, it says 'stop restoring iPhone' instead of 'back up now'? why does it say that? do i tap on 'stop restoring iPhone'?

Under iCloud Storage & backup, at the bottom of the page it says 'Stop Restoring iPhone' instead of 'Back up Now? did i do something wrong? Should i tap on 'Stop Restoring iphone'? this is a new 5c Iphone

Well, it is going to do a backup when you have it connnected to Wifi and plugged in (at least once a day). So, again, that is probably all it is doing now.
If you find that it is still saying this in, say, an hour, then reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears, the reset is taking place and the Home screen will display shortly. When the Home screen redisplays, go back and see if it is now showing the "Back up Now" button.

Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

Error 1015 means either you're trying to restore to an earlier iOS version, which is not supported, or you previously hacked the phone - jailbroken or iOS downgrade. In the later case, you can no longer restore or update.

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?

You restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.
