Iphone 3G & software update - all data lost
I decided to update the software on my iphone 3G. Thought everything would be saved as I have done this before and it was ok, but this wasn't the case. All data has been lost including all photos, numbers etc. I really need to get the photos and phone numbers back. Any ideas what to do?
I have plugged the iphone into itunes and selected restore, it then says it will restore the phone to the original factory settings. It says all of the media and other data will be lost. Is this ok? Or will I loose all the music, apps etc.
Thanks

I have an iPhone 4S - software up to date on all counts, operating under IOS7. I cannot open iTunes store. Tap on the icon and it immediately flashes
back to its home screen. I have no problem on my iMac or my iPad 4 -- just the iPhone 4S.Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
Preparing iPhone for software update???
I just updated iTunes and tried syncing my iPhone. I then downloaded the new iPhone software update and it went to "preparing iPhone for software update." It's been like this for an hour now, and I can't do anything. I can't even close iTunes. Has this happened to anyone? How long did it take your phone to prepare for "software update"? What should I do? Help....
Spent 93 minutes on the phone with support. Could not solve the problem of getting out of the restore loop. As a last resort they said to use another computer to restore the iPhone. Went to my iMac and it worked, but back on my G4 I still can't sync to iTunes, Doesn't even open up when I plug in the phone!
And all my data was lost during the restore. Lot of people out there with this problem!!! hope theyn come up with a fix soon, -
Media Hub Reset - All data lost
Hi,
I have NMH300, Serial No ; BTS26J306488.It was running in RAID Mode (Disk Mirror) with two 1TB Hard Disks.
The firmware was up to date.And I had enabled various services on it, like Windows Shares, FTP etc.I had also renamed the hub to "MYCLOUD"
Then one day last week when I tried to find the mediahub "MYCLOUD" on my network shares list it was no longer visible.
The status of Lights on the hub was Both disks "Blue" in colour.
Then after trying to investigate, I realised that the device has rested to its default state and all my configurations are gone. The name is also reset to "MEDIAHUB"
Then in the configuration sections, I went to "DISK" settings.
There I see that Slot B is empty.
So what I interpret from this is that one of my disks might have crashed.
But the sd part is it also says "RAID MODE" Linear1
HELP : Can linksys help me get my data back.
I feel so betrayed by the promise of a reliable NAS device by Cisco.
How can CISCO design products that are not properly tested before launching in the market.I havd approx 800 GB of data that seems to have just vanished.Hi there,
It is sad that things like this happen. I haven't encountered any major issues with my mediahub for the past 2 years. Now, the only way that it will revert back to single disk mode is when someone would actually set it via configuration page. Now, since your two 1TB drives were set originally to RAID1, try to take out the 2nd HD (Slot 2) from the Mediahub and check if your files are still there. You can also try to take out the HD from slot 1 and replace it with the HD from slot 2 leaving just 1 HD at a time. You may do a hard reset on the mediahub as well. Doing a reset would change your disk configuration. It will only change the basic settings (mediahub's friendly name, FTP name). So just give it a shot and post some updates.
Hope this could help. I am not sure if Cisco has data recovery facility. If your HD is within manufacturer warranty, then you may try to have it recovered on their end.
Cheers! -
Every time I manually ask computer to go see if there is any new update after several seconds it will come back and say that I'm up to date. I am skeptical that I am up to date. Is there a way of checking a log somewhere in the computer that will show me if indeed I''ve been taking software updates all 2013?
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Will iPhone 4 software update 6.0.1 still let me use YouTube links from email and Google directions?
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

My last iPhone 4 software update to 7.0.4 resulted in an overall reduction in speed with all the phone functions. Anyone know of a solution?
Early reports of the iOS 7.1 beta indicate that it is faster. Other than waiting, one other thing you might try is the following: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/disable-app-zooming-for-quicker-switching -unlocking

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off" -

As stated in the header,
iCloud
Mail, Contacts, and Calenders
Software Update
all want to open in 32 bit mode. Then when System Preferences quits and relaunches IN 32 bit mode, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open (pick one) preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac." Moreover, Security and Privacy does the same thing only without the song and dance about quitting and reopening.
Whaaaaat???!!! I've never owned anything BUT an Intel Mac.
The "open in 32 bit mode" is not, and has never been checked in "Get Info"
I tried going to ~Library/Preferences and tossing all com.apple.system preferences files and rebooting. No joy.
It actually looks like some joker has included a bunch of PPC preference panes in my copy of MountainLion, except some of them are new to this OS.
My hardware is a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro with4 gb of RAM, and a 500 gb hard drive, in three seperate partitions, running three Mac operating systems, one at a time. I have SnowLeopard in a small partition because I still have a few things that don't run in Lion/ML. Lion is still my main use machine in the largest partition, and when ML came out, I redistributed most of the unused space into a 3rd partition into which I did a clean install of ML in it's own partition so I could work through the growing pains without compromising my main computer. I'm glad I did it that way, but I DO want to get ML working properly, and I can't do that if I can't authorize third party software. Gatekeeper is currently in the way, and I can't get it to move.I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes. There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only. They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel. Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine. Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well. The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box. All using the same hardware. but one at a time. I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to. (Which I don't) I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact. How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine? -
I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
What I should do now?Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new". -

My mac book has been stuck on software update all night. Am I allowed to manually shut it down?
Yes, you won't be arrested for shutting it down. Depending on what was being updated, the machine may or may not start up properly (or at all) afterward. If it doesn't, post back for advice.
