HT1766 iPhone is in recovery mode; how can I keep my iPhone contents (contact, mostly) if I didn't back it up to iCloud?

I saw that iPhone was backed up when I synced music couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it was backed up entirely. My contacts are of utmost importance. Can I restore them?

If you did a device backup through iTunes 11, then your contacts should be backed up

    Google "DFU mode", put it in that mode and Restore it in iTunes.
    And stay away from jailbreaking.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

    Have you tired starting all over again forcing the iPad into recovery mode? Turn off your firewall and antivirus software and see of you can start the process all over again. Quit iTunes and restart the computer before you try again.
    Here are the insturctions to manually force the iPad into recovery mode.

  • Iphone in recovery mode, how can i make assure that my data will not erase

    firstly thanks for quick reply.
    sorry sir,
    i am confused in last line you wrote,
    " This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
    i did not understand last sentence - if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
    i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
    so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
    i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
    waiting for your quick reply
    thanks and regards,
    vishal

    sir this reply i received from you -
    " That means that if you did not make a backup BEFORE the phone went into recovery mode, then your data is gone.
    Once the phone is in recovery mode, anything that was on it is already gone."
    My answer -
    sir i have icloud account also, and i login in my icloud account on my laptop in icloud.com and i checked there contacts which i had in my iphone that all are available in icloud website in my account.
    that means i have backup right? but how i can check my other data , means messages and photos?
    please help me to how i can get backup through icloud after restoring my iphone? i will be very glad and helpful by you if you can send me the easy process to take back up from icloud
    please reply soon
    thanks and regards,
    vishal.

  • Iphone 4s is in recovery mode.how can i restart it without restoring it. it was never backed up yet- i dont want to loose any info from it.

    my iphone 4s is in recovery mode somehow- that what itunes says. how can i restart it without restoring it. it was never back up yet and i dont want to loose information from it.  itunes says all info will be erased once restored. help pls.

    If your phone is in recovery mode, the data is already lost.  Hopefully, if you've been using your phone as intended and have been synching and backing up frequently, your data loss will be minimal.

  • IPhone 5 in recovery mode how can I save my un-backed-up photos?

    My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode, stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, prompting to restore.  I have tons of photos on the phone which I have not backed up (stupid, I know).  Is there some way I can get them off?  Seems crazy that I cant just drag them over using windows explorer or something like that.  I sthere any way??!!?  Thanks for any ideas!  Would an Apple Store be able to help?

    Well, somehow I lucked out.  Gave up on my photos and went through the restore steps.  I re-attached my iPhone which started iTunes and prompted the restore.  Initiated that.  Then noticed the windows 'autoplay' gui saying 'device options' and i usually dismiss this, but took a chance and chose import pictures and videos, and i got my pictures all copied to my machine very early in the restore process.  I guess -- surprised. ??? but happy!

  • I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

    I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?  Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

    I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

  • Iphone 4 stuck in "recovery mode"  how do i free it up without complete wipe and restore?

    iphone 4 stuck in "recovery mode"  how do i free it up without complete wipe and restore?

    You can try doing a power recycle by pressing on the home button and sleep wake button simultaenously.
    This will shut down the device you then may press on the sleep wake button to attempt to restart the device. This may or may not resolve the issue.
    Good luck.
