IPhone pictures turned into 'unknown data'

First of all, i suck at backups..
Since i updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5, i havent been able to acces my photo folder, about 5,2 gigs ~ 1700 pictures of of kids births and growing up etc..
Anyway to get the photos back ? useing a iPhone 4s now, so the '4' with the photos on it, is not being used, i cant go back to before os 5 ? and i'v tryed to regen my 4s from the 4's backup, but it has the same problem

Thanks for the advice.... Hopefully, Verizon will make good, after driving 50 miles one way to an Apple store, they wanted $149 and told me to wait three hours... can't believe after this product changed my entire environment to Mac's, Mac Book Pro's and even Time Capsule... Apple's customer service fell down when they are actually needed, and their product caused it... before the upgrade I had a fully functional phone. Real Disapointing. If Verizon can't help.... Hello Galaxy III... most ironic part is there were several people as frustrated as I in the store at the same time with similar issues.... maybe they should have tested this more?
Wish Time Capsule would let your restore an older version of iTUNES and then undo all of this...

How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore! And this was lucky that i was able to see it as pdf file - all other attachments i have recieved since using my new ip6 all turn into winmail.dat
this is really incovinient and frustrating for work. i cant believe i cannot just open a pdf file as a pdf file on my ip6 in the emails i recieve. I was on ip4 before this and never have anything like this happened.
Solution needed asap please.
Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

3G on iPhone 4 Turning into Circle Often After Updating To iOS 6

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed something similar to what I'm experiencing. I have an iPhone 4 with Verizon service and updated to the new iOS 6 on Saturday. The last 3 days I have noticed that my 3G has turned into the circle more than it normally does. I live in Nashville and while I sometimes run into times where I get the circle, it's usually only once in awhile and this time it's happened several times over the last 3 days in places I go every day and normally have no problem.
I have no idea if this is linked at all to updating to the new iOS 6 but figured it couldn't hurt to ask others' opinion.
Thanks!
Michelle

My suggestion:
Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
3.Sync your device again.
It probably will help you.
Good Luck

IPhone pictures not sorted by date in Albums

I installed the new OS update in my MackBook Air and now I am using the new Photos app. I enabled the iCloud Photo Library function. So far so good, after a while now all of my Albums show on my iPhone, but the pics are all over the place, they are not sorted by date (oldest one first, newest picture last). When I go into any of the albums all of my pictures are disorganized; however, when I go into the same album on the Photos app in my Mac; there are just fine, sorted by date.
I wonder if there is a fix for this problem.

I have a similar problem. All of the photos in my All Photos album are out of sync the same way on both my Mac and iPhone. The Photos tab that shows photos by moments appears correct. When I go to iCloud.com and look at the All Photos album all of my pictures are shown in the correct order.
I looks like part of the resorting my be a bug related to translating images that have now been tagged with the key word 'Photo Stream', but I'm just speculating.

Will iPhone 3G turn into iPod Touch?

I have been thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 4. I currently have a 3G. My question is will I still be able to use my 3G not in the capacity making calls but turning it into a glorified iPod Touch? Nothing is currently wrong with the phone, just think its time to upgrade?
My other question, has anyone tried this yet? I would like to know if it is worth the $199 upgrade.

You can use a no longer activated iPhone as an iPod Touch, but in order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the process. This does not involve re-activating the iPhone.
Is it worth AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone 4 which requires signing a new 2 year contract, I thought so or I would not have done it and I and continue to think so. There is a significant improvement with the iPhone 4 and the 3G.

Forwarded pictures turn into little squares with flashing question mark

Occasionally someone forwards me some email with supposed picture attachments but the pictures don't forward and are represented by little squares with flashing question marks.
Any idea what causes this?
(I use Mac mail and Safari).
-Louise

There are a few things that cause this, I've found.
Sometimes it's because the email includes images in a format that Mail doesn't like, but it can also be because the attached graphics had their names changed (or were deleted completely) by an outgoing- or incoming-mail virus scanner, or because the graphics weren't really included in the email, but were really just HTML links to images stored on a web site somewhere, and the site has gone down or moved the images.
You can usually tell which has happened by looking at the message's attachments. If there aren't any attachments, then either they've been deleted or stripped from the message, or the message points to dead Internet links.
If there are attached files, you can look at them to see if they have names that look funny (e.g., many virus programs add the word "DEFANGED" to file names), and might have been changed. Also see if they come up with the right icon (Picture icon saying JPEG, GIF, BMP, or PNG, usually). If they're just plain white generic file icons, then they might be something that your computer can't read.

IPhone 3G turns into iBrick after 2.2.1 firmware upgrade.

I've tried downgrading to 2.2, hard resetting and resetting my network settings, but I've still got no service. Is there a fix to this or is my iPhone bricked and in need of replacement?

Do a restore in iTunes but don't install your backup. If the restore works by itself without the backup, it's something corrupt in the backup. If it still doesn't work, I'd suggest a visit to ATT for a new SIM. If your account is setup properly and a new SIM doesn't correct the issue, the next step is a trip to the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

Picture turns into rainbow colored screen

I have a Storm 9550. When I take a picture, it captures it, shows up on the screen and when it finalizes it, it makes the picture totally unviewable. It is nothing but lines in rainbow colors. Anyone have any idea what this is all about or what I can do to get it to work again properly? Thank you.

How do I get my iPhone to stop turning on cellular data for apps on its own?

I have tried resetting on the iphone and resetting all settings. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only improvement is that my iphone stopped turning on cellular data for other apps but now, interestingly, it's turning on cellular data for all apple designed apps,e.g. Pages, App Store, Itunes Store, Facetime, Contacts, Calendar, Mail etc. Everytime I try to turn them off, it doesn't work. Please Help!!
P.S. My phone is running ios7.

Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.

Hi
When I email an attachment /any file format/ from my PC to my iPad2 the attached file turns into a .dat file
What to do?

An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
For instance if you have [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school.

Since ios 8, imessages are turning into texts. And the receiving person has an apple device. why?

Since ios 8, imessages on my iphone are turning into texts. and the recipients are using apple devices. Their reply messages come back in a new message, without the history. and often their address is an icloud one and not their phone number (which is where I sent it). Why?

As in the link when you send an iMessage your text bubble is blue. If it's sent SMS your text message is green. Both parties will receive the message or reply in a grey bubble. When you contact them ask them what colour their sent text messages bubble are.
As for group messages check your settings. MMS must be turned on; Settings > Messages. Send as SMS must also be turned on.

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

OK, here's the explanation. When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up. Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed. However, Windows computers cannot do this. They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.
