Iphone backup corrupt want to recover photos

I have an iPhone that had issues with its backup being corrupt, so far as iTunes says. I was able to recover the lost notes and contacts alright but now I am wondering if there is some app that will recover the photos that were backed-up...
Thanks in advance.

I am interested in how you recovered your notes and contacts. I have recently upgraded to the 3G and all of my contact info was in address book now it is gone and not on my phone. I see a backup in iTunes but how do I look at it to recover my info if it is corrupt? Any help would be greatly appreciated and help get life back to normal.

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

    If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device.  If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup.  Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad.  If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

    how to recover password or reset to recover backup

    Without the backup passcode the only option is to restore the phone and set it up as New. You get unlimited guesses for the passcode, so you might try a bunch of passcodes that you have used in the past. And to speed up the process just uncheck "encrypt backup" in iTunes and you will be prompted immediately for the passcode.
    Elcomsoft makes an iPhone backup password cracker that will work if you are not in the habit of using strong passwords. It is targeted for law enforcement use, and priced accordingly. However, they have a trial version that will give you the first 2 characters.

  • Hard drive crash, want to recover photo's from iPhone.

    Hello,
    Since I've my iPhone, I have no backups of my iPhoto directory. I thought that two places (PC & iPhone) would be enough for a 100% cover.
    Now the worst happened, my HD bailed on me. Bought a new HD, reinstalled OS X.
    But when I connected my iPhone, there was no way to recover the photo's of it!
    I'm not talking about the photo's taken with the iPhone, but the photo library.
    Can anyone advise me on how to recover my photo library from my iPhone?
    Greetings,
    Daniel

    Iphone is not a storage device. This pics that are synced to iphone are optimized for viewing on iphone and are of lower quality than the original.
    You should always back-up important info on an external source (external Hard drive for example).
    You can e-mail them to yourself, one at a time. They will not be of original quality.

  • Corrupted backup.  Unable to recover photos, texts, app data, etc.

    I recently updated to iTunes 10.5.  Prior to doing this I backed up my iPhone 4 but it said the backup was corrupt.  I figured that I could still proceed since I backed up a few days ago.  However, I was wrong.  When I tried to restore my phone after the update it said the restore points were not found.  I was forced to set up my phone as a new device.  Is there any way to restore photos and other data that was on my phone prior to the update or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hi avalo995,
    There is no way to remove all data bar the app data when restoring the official iPhone & iOS, if this data is stored then it is held in the backup file and restoring from the backup file will return all the data onto the phone.
    As for the text messages, you can take screenshots of the texts (via holding home button and then clicking the sleep/wake button) and export them off the iPhone onto a computer where they can be synced back as pictures in the future.
    The backup file can be moved from one system to another by copying it from the original backup location and pasting it into the correct location on the other computer. The backup file location can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Hope it helps.

  • IPhone Backup Corrupt

    Hey guys,
    I am having a backup/restore NIGHTMARE right now.
    I have a 16gb iPhone 4s and the original backup was done in iTunes10 on Windows Vista. Since then I have updated to iTunes 11 hoping that would help. Here is what I have done so far step by step.
    1) My16gb iphone gives me about 13.5gb of usable space. Of that 13.5gb of space 6gb was taken up by "other" so I began my mission to reduce the amount of content "other" took up on my phone.
    2) The forums told me that cache and other unneeded files were contained within the "other" section and that I should do a backup and restore to reduce this. (this sounds really stupid to me now but seemed like it was worth a try at the time)
    3) At 1:40am I noticed my last backup was 2 hrs old. (I constantly sync my phone to my computer via itunes & have no icloud backups). So I backed up again using the "Sync" button in iTunes before using the "Update & Restore" function in a version of iTunes 10.
    4) After my phone updated my iOS and took 45min going through the "Restore" portion of the process, it counted down to the last seconds and then gave the message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "WesHype's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
    5) I thought the next best thing would be restoring from that backup that was made at 11:30pm however it was not on the drop down list. I checked in "Edit/ Preferences / Devices" however the only back ups that were their was a year old backup of my old iphone, a 6month old backup of my ipod and a backup named "WesHype's iPhone - Jul 21, 2013, 2:06 AM" Now 2:06 is the time that I tried to restore the phone and despite the name, in the right column it says the backup is from 1:40am. This is obviously a copy of the corrupt backup.
    6) I tried to restore this backup several times and even upgraded my iTunes to the newest version. Each time restored a new backup appeared with an updated time/date after "WesHype's iPhone" however it was just a copy of the same. Apparently all previous backups have been overwritten.
    7) I began ripping through the files located in "/ Users / WesHype / App Data / Roaming / Apple Computers / MobileSync / Backup" in the "Library" folder there is a folder called "SMS" which seems to contain a lot of the pictures I have sent and received.
    I am convinced it is only a small portion of this backup that is "corrupt" I have experimented with several tools that allow me to view my files but want me to pay to extract them. The problem is although pictures and videos would be nice to retrieve the MAIN thing I need is all my txt messages imported back into the phone the way it was before.(not to a cvs or other txt document like the programs are trying to sell me)
    Im in sales. I have tons of customers with whom my relationship depends on my ability to pull up our previous conversations. My contacts were sync'd to outlook so these text messages are the ONLY thing of extreme importance to me. Is there anyway I can retrieve these text conversations from these 12,000+ random files in the backup folder and import them back into my device? Or ideally repair the whole backup somehow?
    Thanks,
    Wes

    Wes,
    First thing I'd like to suggest: Edit your post so that your personal informationin the screenshots isn't showing (like your Serial # & IMEI #).  Just for your protection.
    Secondly, I don't know of any official way to do what you're suggesting.  You mentioned some thrid-party apps that will convert them to text files.  You might have to bite the bullet and get them recovered that way, and then just forward them to yourself via email.  That way, you can still access them for customers.
    Hopefully, someone else has a better solution for you, but I can't think of anything.

  • Iphone disabled, I need to recover photos!

    My OLD iPhone was disabled by my daughter and I don't have a backup for our photos! How do I recover them or is all hope lost?
    Our new iPhones are fine, my wife didn't realize I still had to pull photos off of my old one before she let my daughter play with it. I am definitely not a criminal, so don't bother suggesting thievery. I would like to recover several family photos and I wanted to know if there was any hope before restoring the phone!

    This old iPhone has never been synced with iTunes or was not synced with iTunes since all photos were captured by the iPhone?
    If not and the iPhone has been permanently disabled after trying to enter the passcode incorrect too many times, you will not be able to import the photos from the Camera Roll nor back up the iPhone with iTunes before having to restore the iPhone. This is a security measure that can't be bypassed regardless if you are not a criminal. If there were a way to bypass this, there wouldn't be much reason to include the option to begin with.

  • Iphone backup corrupt!!How do i fix this???

    My iPhone 4 would not back up when i plugged it in to my itunes today because it said it was corrupt or not compatible for my iphone. It says to delete the backup but i dont want my phone to lose all of its contents. Anybody know whats wrong??

    If you backup regularly, you could simply revert to the next most recent backup. If you look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices, you will find all the backups of your phone stored on your system. You can choose anyone of them to restore from from the drop down menu on the restore screen in iTunes.  Good luck.

  • IPhone 5 I want to send photos as attachments NOT as embedded images

    Until recently, when I sent a photo from my phone (using the share icon) via email, it would come through as an attachment,  This was great, because then I could do what I wanted with the attachment.  Now, since a day or so ago, all the photos I send show up as embedded images (the image is in the body of the email).
    iPhone 5
    I have not updated to 6.1.4
    I have not added any new apps.
    I have rebooted the device.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    After some testing:
    -Embeded images show up when looking at your inbox listing, no paper click icon next to title
    -Image can be seen within email
    -Image cannot be saved
    -Happens when email is sent by any apple device from a Microsoft based server (Hotmail, Live, etc) and iCloud.
    -Noticed by reading off a PC or web based inteface.
    Does not happen if:
    -Sent by GMAIL server
    -Red by another apple device
    -Can be saved.
    Tried all this with help of another MAC user who has GMAIL and iCloud capabalities. iphone5 and 4 and 3
    So
    Anybody using GMAIL as a primairy email server won't see this and cannot be a setting as this is happening to anybody not using GMAIL and includes iCLoud users. GMAIL must handle the file differently but any servers used will present symptoms of NOT having a paper clip icon next to title to show you have an attached file .jpg. It will show a paper clip for any other file extensions though.
    Again I went through all my settings on all 3 devices I own, iphone, ipad and Macbook Air and there is nothing to change!

  • IPhone backup corrupt, how do I get all my apps back?

    I used iTunes to upgrade my 3Gs from 4.0 to 4.01 today. As usual, iTunes made a backup first of my iPhone. The backup time was at 4:25pm.
    After the OS upgrade, iTunes attempted to restore my previous backup but then came up with a message like this:
    itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed
    So my iPhone is at version 4.01 and its like a clean install with only default apps and all my settings are gone. Great.
    In iTunes I CAN see all of my apps in there. So I sync'ed my iPhone. First of all, this DELETED the backup I did at 4:25pm and replaced with a backup of my current setup (default apps, no settings). Fantastic. Now all my settings are gone for good. And the sync did NOT move my apps from iTunes onto my phone.
    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone? They are clearly in iTunes. They all are listed as having me purchased them. Isn't there a way to Sync them to my phone? Sync'ing doesn't do it.
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    HELP PLEASE. Stupid iTunes is a piece of garbage.

    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone?
    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Apps tab across the top.
    Tick the Apps you want onto the iPhone then right click the iPhone name - Sync device.\
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    If you have already purchased it, when you click Buy, it will tell you that you have purchased it and ask if you want to download it again for free.
    I suggest you quit using it and save yourself all the aggravation of using garbage.

  • Can see iphone backup I want in preferences but can't back up from it in itunes

    I had my iphone4 stolen at the weekend and am trying to restore my old iphone3G to my most recent previous backup.
    I can see the backup (from April) in itunes preferences, under devices, but it does not show up as a possible backup to restore from in itunes.
    I know it's there but I can't access it, the only possible backup that showed to restore from was from 2010, or the one that happened automatically when I plugged my 3G in today.
    How do I enable the backup from April this year to be used to restore from in the iphone screen in itunes?
    I've done many searches and lots of people seem to have had the same problem, but haven't seen anyone solve it yet.
    It's driving me round the bend as I'm sure there is a solution.
    Please help!!!

    You cannot retore a newer IOS backup to an older iPhone. The opposite is okay.
