HT201269 My I phone 4, now has nothing, no apps, pics, contacts, etc. My new MacAir Book said it was backed up, but can't even phone 911 on my I phone now??

Question

My I phone 4, trying to transfer contacts, etc onto my new MacBook Air, now my phone does not even work...not even 911 emergency...what happened??

Answer 1

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
Any thoughts on this?
