HT4972 i tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS 6 and lost EVERYTHING! Help!

I tried to update my iphone 3GS with IOS6 and the update was incomplete. It then said retry so I did and it synced with my daughters ipod touch causing me to lose ALL of my information. Is there any way to retrieve my previous information or reset my phone to what it was? Unfortunately I dont thing I backed up my contacts, pictures, etc.

If KiltedTim is correct I agree with him. If the phone is not hacked try temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall that may be blocking access to gs.apple.com. See also this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194

HT4972 I tried to update my iPhone 3S with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

I just updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and lost 99% of my apps. I backed up the iphone to my mac prior to doing this. Should i just do a restore?

I updated to ios 5 after bacing up my 3gs to my mac. After updating, the majority of my apps are missing. Do I just do a restore?

I'm having the same issue, i use a PC running windows XP. can I just do the same restore & will it change anything else on my phone by doing a restore?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
You'll need to go elsewhere for support.

HT4623 update my iphone 3GS with iOS

Tried to update my iphone 3Gs with ios6. Went to settings, tapped General but don't see Software or anything else that will help me download the new software. Want to do this to set up iCloud for my iphone, ipad and macbook.

open itunes - plug your phone to your computer - itunes should automatically read that your phone needs an update.
You should do a backup of your phone before you update.

I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone. When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and now it keeps just shutting off and coming back on?

I updated my iphones 3gs to ios 5 and now it just randomly shuts off and on. whats wrong with it?

don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night. In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it. It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names. I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter. I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup. My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to. I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case. It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost. Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over. Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

After updating my iphone 4 with iOS 6, I lost all my pictures, contacts, and music. How do I get this all back if I don't have the icloud?

My friend updated her iphone 4g with the iOS6 and lost all of her photos, contacts, messages, and music. She doesn't believe she had the icloud set up because after they restored her phone they asked for a new apple-id. Any suggestions on how to get all of her stuff back, she has a newborn and all of her pictures of him are gone!

I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
Help please!!!

I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk.
wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting. I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
Oh - and I did lose my music after. I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
Good luck, hope that sorts it.

I recently updated my iphone 4S with IOS 7 and suddenly last weekend all my contacts was just wiped out! I reset my whole iphone and restore it from my backup and yesterday the same thing happened! Is this because of IOS 7?

I recently updated my iphone 4S with IOS 7 and suddenly last weekend all my contacts was just suddenly wiped out! I have been using this phone for almost 2 years and never had this problem!

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

I tried to update my iPhone 4S to ios 8, and now it wants me to restore it...

I tried to update my iphone 4S to ios 8, but it turned off and now the screen only shows that I have to connect my iphone to iTunes. Upon connecting, it says I have to restore my iPhone. I've never actually had a fond memory of restoring my phone i the past, so i'd rather not have to do that now. Is there anything I can do to fix my iPhone without restoring it?

As you were told in your previous post asking the exact same question, no.
You must restore your iPhone. The answer will not change no matter how many times you ask.

IPhone 3GS with iOS 5 and storage space/app problems... Please read and help

I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5. Before the update I had a load of apps etc and was left with approx 4gb space left. Since the update removed ALL my apps from my iPhone, I still have the same ammount of space. Why is this?

Hi,
Are you sure your phone has not been unlocked or jailbroken at some time as the same thing happened to me.
I had the phone secondhand and did not know. Updating to IOS 5 locked the phone back to the original service provider which was AT&T in USA and I am in UK.
Hope this helps,
Alan
