I recently replaced my iphone and took 6 weeks of new pictures, I plugged it to my computer and by accident I restored the back from 4 months ago and erased my new pictures. How can I recover the new pictures ?? Help!!
Sorry those pics might be gone, since you restored from your backup.
Only way possible if by some possibility you were able to backup your current data to itunes, then you can restore from that backup.
Open itunes - edit - preference - devices - backup - see if there is an up to date backup.
If you don't have one then sorry those pics are gone. -
in case i rest my phone and restore the back up that i have, what may i lose as data?
can i get back my whatsapp conversation noting that i didnt do any back up on Icloud!
i cant do any restore unless i do rest my mobile?
i need to get back my whatsapp conversations as they are very important and many are related to my work as we use it sometime instead of emails.
thank you in advance for your appriciated replyTry resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists. -

I have an Iphone 3GS. My calender data is gone on my IPhone but it is still backed up in ICloud. I can't locate in Apple.com or Icloud how to restore it to my IPhone.
Check to see if your calendars are available from iCloud.com by signing in with your Apple ID & password from a web browser on your computer.
If so, on your phone, go to: Settings > iCloud > turn off Calendars > delete from phone if prompted (to prevent the possibility of duplicates) > wait for it to finish then turn it back on. This will force a repush from iCloud.com. -

HT1414 having trouble restoring the backup from icloud to my new iphone
I cannot restore my icold backup to my new iphone. Any tips?
If your backup is newer than the iOS on the phone, you cannot restore from that backup until you update the iOS on the phone first. So is your backup from a newer iOS than what is on the phone? If so, update the phone and then restore from the backup.
If you would share what happens when you try or provide seem more details - it would be a little easier to offer suggestions. -

I want to put the songs from my mp3 onto my iPhone but everytime I go to do it it shows exclamation points next to my songs. How do I convert them to work with my iTunes and phone?
The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use myFindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Hello there i had i pod touch .. Thats stolen and i had many photo on that device so i bought an ipad mini now but i cant get my photos backk i only can restore my apps .. That is not important cus i could download them again the important is getting back my photos i tryed every thing and still couldnt get the photos back only i getting the aps .. Any help :-s ?
The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then. -
Will my photos that I took with iPhone 4 transfer from iphone 4 to 4s if I restore the 4s from iPhone 4 back up on iTunes?
Do a backup of your 4, either to the cloud or your computer, depending on how you usually do this.
If you backed up your 4 to the computer, connect the new phone to the computer at this point, if you restored it to the cloud, do NOT connect it to the computer (or you might get an old backup by mistake). Just connect it to a charger.
When you first power up your new phone, it will ask you whether you want do configure it as a new phone or to restore it from a backup. Select "from a backup". The prodedure is slightly different for computer and iCloud backups, but you'll be able to figure it out.
This will restore all your apps, settings, and camera roll. Then you can either sync it to the computer or redownload your music and movies (depending on how you manage these things).
Once this is done, you can delete everything you don't want from the old phone. -
My iphone 4s in unlocked and i am currently using it for tmobile prepaid service. i want to restore the 7.0 settings back to 6.1.3 .. will this lock my iphone 4s once again after i restore it back to 6.1.3?
Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS. -
