Iphone restore after software update

I've just updated my Iphone 3gs with the new IOS6 software. It all downloaded fine until the download finished and the phone restarted..the phone then restarted on factory settings and has now just restored from backup. Does this mean I'll have lost all my messages and things off my phone? Bit worried

Virtually ALL of the people who experience data loss during the upgrade process have experienced it because of user error.
If you failed to backup all of your data before attempting a major iOS upgrade then that is just plain foolish.  Had you backed up all of your data as apple recommends, even if your phone blew up  during the upgrade process, you would have been able to retrieve all your data with a brand new phone.

  • Torch frozen on restore after software update

    I updated my software wirelessly last night through software updates on the device. It went through the download process fine, but as soon as it went to "restoring your data" it froze at 37% overall progress(if im remembering correctly) it said at the time Brio Calorie Tracker 0%. So after several hours of it not changing from that % i did a hard reset as recomended in these forums. when going through the restore process again it froze at 2% overall progress and again 0% progress on Brio Calorie Tracker. Repeated hard resets have given me the same result. Last night I let it sit overnight for 8 hours and it did not budge or change in any capacity, still 0% Brio calorie tracker and 2% overall restore progress. I'm at the end of my rope here and have no idea what to do now. I've also tried connecting to blackberry desktop software, including while doing hard resets and it won't let me. It will just say on the device screen that I cant access anything on the device while a restore is in progress.
    HELP please!

    Well, that's a little more than I wanted you to do, but it's still a good thing.    I was going to have you simply remove the application file for that calorie counter app, but now we'll have to do an OS reload.
    Just go through with the following instructions to reload the device software:
    Disconnect your device.
    Download the most current OS for your device, which you'll find in the link below.  It's a German website, but the download link is readily apparent.
    http://www.vodafone.de/business/blackberry-support​/blackberry-torch-9800_158961.html
    On your PC, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader. Delete the file at the bottom called vendor.xml.
    Connect your device.
    In that same folder as above, there's an executable file called Loader (has a little phone next to it). Double click on that and it will start loading your OS.
    Oh, I'd recommend you NOT reload that application again.

  • ISO 5 HELP RESTORING AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE iPHONE

    ive downloaded iso 5 and backed up my iphone 4 etc and while the update is on my phone, its taking me through the steps of 'location services' wifi networks' 'set up iphone' - 3 options - im trying to restore from itunes and nothing is happening, it just says on itunes 'backing up step 1 of 5' and goes super quick and nothing happens, also my photos, videos, apps etc are no longer visable on itunes. My phone is stuck with the connect to itunes logo while in itunes it recognises the phone, but the iphone is locked on that screen.
    Please help

    Try doing a hard reset of the phone.  Hold the power and home button in together until the apple logo comes on and then let go.  That should get you out of the 'connect to itunes' screen and back into the phone.  I suggest then trying to connect again.

  • All tabs blank for session restore after software update

    I just updated Firefox to the 34.0.5 version. After restarting, I did a restore previous session and what came up were the tabs but without any address info. They are all showing up as "New Tabs". Is there any way to get back my session with the tabs having the address data? Thank you.

    Is it in Recovery mode? Are you seeing a screen that looks like this:

    If so, sounds like something happened during the update, so all you can really do is restore.

  • N95 Restore after software update

    Hi, I've just updated my firmware on my N95 for the first time.
    Before doing so it gave me the warning that I should backup all the data on my phones memory as I would lose it, which I did.
    I then installed the new software, but when trying to restore my backup file, I came accross a problem. The restore gets to 68% everytime, but won't go any further. I even left it for 2 hours last night, but still no luck. So i've now lost all my contacts and texts! Has anyone else had a similar problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you had your contacts stored on the sim card,those should be still intact, do you have the latest verion of the pc suite? did you try to shut down your computer and restart it again and give pc suite a try again? those maybe some obvious things, and no i have no better ideas for you at this time sorry

  • Ipod won't restore after software update

    I was updating my daughter's iPod Touch last night with the new OS update. Everything downloaded smoothly, but when iTunes tried to restore her iPod, I got an error message that said there was a problem restoring the iPod. I have tried every single troubleshooting tip I could find and no luck. Is there anything that can be done without having to buy a new iPod? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Just some more information: I keep getting the "Connect to iTunes" screen on the iPod, and when I try to connect to iTunes, the iPod is not recognized at all. I have also tried the trick of holding in the Power and Home buttons at the same time; no luck.

    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Restoring contacts after software update

    After software update i accidently clicked something like "treat as new iphone" instead of "use existing settings". Now I can synch programs and music but my contacts are gone. Is there a possibility to restore them?

    Unless you have been syncing your contacts with an app on your computer (Outlook, Mail) or cloud (MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, Exchange) as you should have, the contacts are permanently gone.

  • TS1559 I have iPhone 4s, after i updated my software to 7.0.4 my wifi stopped working. The wifi icon at the top is gone. Its annoying that i have to us my data all the time. I've tried the network reset, it didn't work.

    I have iPhone 4s, after i updated my software to 7.0.4 my wifi stopped working. The wifi icon at the top is gone. Its annoying that i have to us my data all the time. I've tried the network reset, it didn't work. My phone works fine, just a lilttle bit slow before i upadated to 7.0.4. And now not only the wifi, the phone itself is slower than ever. I wish i didn't udgrade to iOs 7. There's too much problems. There's this one time that I can't send iMessage at all.

    Hi s.kouris,
    I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
    With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

    Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.
    Sorry,

    restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes

    And....that's your question? How to restore the apps? Sync your iPad with iTunes and the apps should be restored to your device. Or go to the purchased tab of the App Store and tap on Not on this iPad and download them again.
    Did you restore from a backup after you updated? Can you provide any information at all?

  • IPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

    iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

    Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
    To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
    1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
    2. go to  (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
    3. disable Voice Dial
    4. go back and disable Siri
    hope this could help you!!
