HT1766 I replaced an iPhone4 with 5 and restored it, lost recent texts and other info

I replaced an iPhone4 with iPhone 5.  The 4 hadnt been backed up to laptop in about 4 months.  I plugged my new 5 into my laptop, iTunes came up and I chose to restore it (instead of setting up as new phone, which I thought would cause me to lose all my info).  I guess this was the wrong choice since it looks like all recent info is gone.  Is there any way to get back the past 4 months worth of texts/info that is now gone?

Do you still have your iPhone 4, and, if so, does it still have your current info?
If so, you can back it up, then clear your iPhone 5 by doing Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
Then you would be shown the iPhone (5) Setup Assistant, which would again allow you to restore from a backup.  This time, the backup would be more current.

    Hello. It can be a iPhone4 accessories for the one with pictures and other things are transferred wirelessly to a TV? Thank you 

    You need an Apple TV to be able to wirelessly send pictures etc. from iPhone.
    However you can buy an adapter if you want to connect to a TV

  • I was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was pgraded to ios version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  There is nothing else we can suggest.

  • Problem with youtube and other video websites

    I have a problem with youtube and other video websites:
    Everything is up to date (flash, FF, my plug ins..) but i keep getting freezes when the video loads. I can hear sound but i can only see the first frame of the video.
    I've reinstalled flash/firefox or tried updating them again for about 4 times now and my cookies/cache has also been errased which i usually don't do. If i enter FF's safe mode it also freezes.
    I hope someone could help out, i've searched for answer on google before and tried everything i saw but it didn't helped.
    grts,

    Hmm, so that person had a conflicting plug in.
    Problem is that whenever i enter firefoxes safe mode which disables every plug in, i still have the youtube freeze/crash

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space.  How to view pictures and other info in ICloud?

    Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space.  How to view pictures and other info in ICloud?  Can I upload documents from my desktop (Windows os)?
    Thanks.

    If you backed up your iphone to icloud, then there's a chance that doing a restore might bring back your photos.  I say "chance" because many users have tried that (assuming they had photos turned in for backups in settings), but ended up not getting back any photos.  If that happens, then they are gone. 
    Remember, you should have been syncing photos all along to a computer for archiving.  Don't trust the pictures to an icloud backup.

  • I have Mac Pro with Keynote and other essentials installed. How can I download the same on my IPAD without paying to download.

    Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.
    The developer needs to create the two versions separately.

    Can't not text pictures with 4s and other texts dont always go thru WHY?

    Need more information...  Is it that you don't know how to add a picture to a text?  You know and have tried but gotten an error message?  Got no message, but the receiver does not get the text?  Are you sending as iMessage or SMS, or MMS?

  • Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac.  I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing. 
    Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device.  With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in. 
    The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either.  However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

  • Partion drive with TM and other data already on it

    hi folks

    thanks V.K. So, this process will not erase my data?
    If I already have, as I mentioned, my iTunes music and Time Machine data on this ext. FW drive, can I place the data in each new partition?
    that's right, the data should be preserved. it will remain on one partition and a new empty partition will be created below it. you can move your Music library to the new partition. DO NOT move your TM backups. they can not be moved using Finder.

  • Lost photos and other info

    Hi after changing the background on my ibook and accounts i have lost all my photos in iphoto and other info like firefox bookmarks and addons ect.
    Two questions... Why has this happened? and more importantly how do i get the data back?
    Any help will be appreciated

    It's also comforting to back-up your computer. Normally, you would write your photos to optical media; then just insert these when needed. I keep my KeyChain, Bookmarks, &c on a CD. Nothing else I have is really important.
    However, the G3 won't write optical media, or DVDs at least. I use an old iPod as a backup disk for the G3 iBooks here, but you might be able to write CDs (I can't remember).
    In any case, everyone should probably look into backup devices, media, & strategies.
