IPhone 4 update, lost all data.
I updated my iPhone 4 and lost all of my contacts, pictures, and videos. How can I retrieve my data back?
Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

Ios 8.0.2 update - lost all data and contacts no back up
My husband updated my phone to the new ios 8.0.2 version. He then reset my phone to factory settings without me having a back up of all my contacts and data. How can I get this back. I noted some software but if I try the free tests it keeps on showing what I currently have on the phone and not my old contacts.
Hi baleslie,
Thanks for giving the details of the error you are getting. That would frustate me too.
Recovery from the error "3014" is discussed in this article
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
It primarily sounds like an issue contacting the update server. Please check it out.
Take care,

My iphone 3g crashed. My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes. how do i sync with itunes? should I upgrade operating system first? how to do that?
"My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes. "
Your calendar ond contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.
"how do i sync with itunes? "
You sync as you always have.
"should I upgrade operating system first? "
If you like.
"how to do that?"
Open itunes, cconnect iphone. Itunes should tell you if there is an update avilable or you can click Check for Updates. -

Updated 2.2 Iphone Software and lost all contact information! HELP!!
I have the old 8G Iphone and updated the new 2.2 Iphone software and lost all my contact information,video, pics,etc. I tried to hit restore and it did not bring anything back. Does Itunes save info as a back up? HELP!!
AnthonyIn regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express, which I believe is named Windows Contacts.
Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer, as with any other digital camera.
Music and video transferred to your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer, and the same for photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
The backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, contact info, and photos that were captured by your iPhone, but it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup only for the last two. As already provided, contact info is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer - as with any other digital camera.
You updated to 2.2 from which firmware version, and did you sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before installing firmware update 2.2 to update your iPhone's backup if needed?
You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This will completely erase your iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version, which is 2.2. After 2.2 is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. After your iPhone is restored from your iPhone's backup, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer your selected iTunes content from your computer to your iPhone along with any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
If your contact information and photos that were captured by your iPhone are not restored from your iPhone's backup and you didn't sync contact information with a supported application on your computer and you didn't import the photos that were captured by your iPhone, this data will be lost. -
Did 8.1 upgrade on iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data
Today October 26th I was prompted for 8.1 upgrade to fix minor bugs. Did 8.1 upgrade on my iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data.

I plugged the pphone to the laptop and get is itunes detected iPhone in recovery mode, you must restart the phone before you update ...and the download is taking 5 hours and i have 320 mbps download speed
Apple thinks i have an older phone and need to throw it and buy their new iphone 6. if thats the case, here is my middle finger... am going with some other OSApple doesn't care if you buy a newer phone or not. Apple doesn't need your new iPhone purchase. There are millions of people that have properly working older iPhones that voluntarily upgrade.
Your device crashed, and it could have been caused by any number of root causes, many of them not controlled by Apple. Third party app, interruption of internet connection, interruption of power, etc.
If you came here to give the middle finger to Apple (childish behavior by the way), you're in the wrong place. Go to www.apple.com/feedback. -
Lost all data when updating to iOS 7. Help would be appreciated.
I forgot to back up my iPhone before updating to iOS 7, and lost all data. Are there any methods for restoring the data without iCloud or iTunes?
When you do get your phone set back up - USE ICLOUD TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!

Did you fail to import them to your computer before restoring?
Not good.
They are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps. -

Lost ALL DATA after OS update on MAC.
Coming back from Walt Disney World with my daughter during the holidays. Took some nice pictures with my BB Curve 8530. Once back home, try to download all the picture on my macbook using the desktop manager. Plugged my BB using the provided cable, then immediately was proposed to update my device software. So the update go on. Took a while and finally was asked to restore my data on the device, which of course I accepted. Took about a quarter of a second, then done! So unplugged the device from the computer and surprise! Nothing, Nada, Zero... All my contacts, media, email, everything was wiped very clean. I'm kind of furious.
I've done some research over several forum it append to A LOT of people. Some were lucky enough to find a backup file on there system, but nothing on mine searching with spotlight.
RIM as no right at all to erase all the data on my device. I was never warned and I never accepted the risk associated with that update.
I'm asking for a solution to get back all my data.i'm having the same problem!
i finally got around to upgrading to IOS5 last night and also got an error whilst restoring the back up. I also assumed the date would be there.
now i've restored my phone all apps etc have returned to phone but lost all data from them, ive lost all my contacts and diary appointments etc.
Nightmare!
how do i get it back???? any help would be appreciated -

If updating to iOS 7 caused your contacts to disappear, please call your AppleCare number and tell the advisor your issue. He should have you escalated to a senior advisor in which they can further assist you as far as trying to get your contacts back to you.
