I've lost my contacts, texts and photos from past year! Help!

Tried to update my 3G today, but now I've lost all of my Pictures, Contacts an Texts from over the past year. Help!! Please! How do I recover any of this, pictures are most important
Thank you in advance!!

You should have been importing all pics taken with the iphone regularly as you would  any digital camera, most especially before any update.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.
You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.

  • I imported the info from my phone to my wife's phone by mistake.                          She lost her contacts, texts, and photos. Is there any way to get that stuff back?  Could it be stored on our Mac somewhere?

    I imported info from my phone to my wife's phone by mistake.  She lost her photos, texts, and contacts.  Basically my phone is her phone now.  Is there any way I can get her stuff back on her phone?  We also have a Mac computer.  Could that info be saved on it?

    If there's no backup, then there is nothing to restore.
    In iTunes, under Edit > Preferences > Backups it should list the name that was assigned to the device.

  • How to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

    how to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

    If you did the backup of your data before deleting then you can easily get back the data by the following steps:
    1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
    2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
    3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPad from syncing automatically." Because this will ensures we don't erase the previously stored backup. Then select ok and close the window after checking " don't sync"
    4. Now connect your iPad to your computer .
    5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
    6. Select version and click on restore from options.
    7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
    8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your data from iPad, including the deleted sms, notes, photos, music, contacts etc.

  • I have a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it, but i am worried if i plug my iphone into it i will loose all my contacts apps and photos!! please help!!!

    hi there
    i have just bought a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it but i am worried that if i plug my iphone into it, that i will loose all my apps, contacts and photos!!
    please help!!

    I will try and be helpful unlike the the first two posters!!
    When you say installed iTunes I am guessing that its just the program and not your old library? in which case when you connect your iphone you will get a message warning you that you will be replacing the data on the iphone with the library on the new laptop i.e. an empty itunes.
    If this is the case what you need to do is on your old laptop,
    1: open itunes and go into preference/settings and go to advanced and make sure that consolidate and keep         organised are checked. 
    2: Then go to file and click consolidate library.
    3: close itunes and then go to start and open "My Music" folder.
    4: Drag the iTunes folder out of My music and put it on an external drive or network the 2 laptops.
    5: on the new laptop open "My Music" folder and drag out to the desk top the itunes folder
    6: from the external drive or network drang and drop the old iTunes library into the "My Music" folder on the new    laptop.
    now close it and restart iTunes and your old library should be visable and when you connect your iphone it will identify its the correct library to sync with.

  • How can I retrieve texts and photos from a lost iPhone without backup?

    I recently lost my iPhone at a concert and unfortunately, it was never connected with iCloud, nor was it backed up to iTunes. I got a new iPhone and connected it to iTunes. I have my contacts (taken from my sister's iPhone) and voicemails, but nothing else. I would really like my old text messages and photos, but have no idea what to do in order to get them. Please help! And like I said, backing up will not work, and I tried to use iphonebackupextractor.com also.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • Hi! So I updated my mother's iPhone 4 from ios 4.2.1 to ios 6.1.3 and it went out smoothly until I found out everything got erased. My Kim's important contacts,notes and photos were there. Help me recover them please!

    Pls help me! Or I am screwed!!! The back up files got corrupted and I don't know how to fix them and me and my bff's fave foot was there and my moms job rely's on those notes and contacts! Pls :'( oh and I literally cried for 2 hrs. 10 pm to 12 am

    Um actually i know the back up password. The only problem is i cant restore my back up on to my iphone since the bak up is crrupted. And im wondering if the photos and stuff will still be seen in the back up folder if it is corrupted. My mom says its fine if the data in our iphone got erased. But did the photos save in the itunes? Can we view it even though the files are corrupted? If i cant how can i repair it? What if the back up file is erased becoz of the new dates? How can i retrieve them? Can iexplorer open a corrupted file? Latly can someone give me an application to retrieve all the files? Without purchasing it?! Plssssss answer! Im doomed!

  • How do I transfer contacts notes and photos from iPhone to new ipad

    How do I transfer content from iPhone to iPad

    Hi Sacha' !
    Thank you for your answer to my ipad question.
    I was able to transfer my contacts, notes, calendar . . . etc., once I connected to Yahoo.
    The info you gave me would be good, except that I don't use iCloud as it filled up the free 5GB on my iPhone
    and then kept asking me to "buy more storage".
    One day I may try to utilize the cloud, but now that I seem to have all my info from my iPhone transferred to my new iPad
    I think I am good.
    Thanks again !

  • How do I transfer contacts details and photos from my NOKIA N70 to ibook G4

    I have installed an external bluetooth unit to my ibook through the USB port, as it didn't have it fitted originally, and it seems to be set up correctly. I've then tried using isync to transfer files from my phone, but it doesn't even give me the option of transfering files (it is greyed out). The only option it gives me is to use my phone to access the internet. I've also tried using the bloothooth file transfer software to send stuff and it doesn't work. Is this because my phone is somehow incompatible with the bluetooth unit I bought, or my ibook - or am I just doing something wrong????

  • IPhone 5S not receiving texts and pictures from Android without data on

    I have a 4 month old iPhone 5S and for some reason I'm not able to receive texts and photos from my friends who have Android phones. The only time I receive them is when I turn my data on. I have a very limited data plan and I would prefer to only turn it on in the case of an emergency, not to receive texts from friends. As of now, it seems that my phone is perfectly able to send texts to them, I just can't receive them.

  • Did I lose my texts and photos

    On Friday the 10th I restored my phone to factory settings.  On Saturday I added my contacts back in and I received some important texts and took some important photos.  On Sunday when I attached my phone to my laptop iTunes gave me 2 choices....start as new phone or restore to 10/10? I chose the latter b/c I had just restored as factory (new phone) and didn't want to do that again but what really happened was it restored everything to the way it was before I restored it to factory settings.  So my question is are those important texts and photos that I received and took on Saturday gone forever or is there a way to get them?  I did not sync my phone in between and when I log on to iCloud.com there are no photos but I'm not sure if that's b/c of something I did or b/c of IOS8.

    You shouldn't lose these by changing the Apple ID on your phone.  However, you should be importing your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and backing up your contacts by syncing them with iCloud (Settings>iCloud>Contact>On), with a supported program using iTunes (such as Outlook, Windows Contacts or mac Address Book), or by using an app like My Contacts Backup.
    Also, even after changing the Apple ID on your phone in Settings>Store you will still have to enter the password for his ID when updating apps purchased with this ID.  (Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally.)
