Is it possible to recover lost data from an iPhone 4 iOS 5

Hello, I recently upgraded my iphone from iOS 4.2 to 5.0, and in the process of restoring my iphone, my photos and some other settings (some email accounts and phone number "favorites") were not restored. I'm very upset about the pictures....I've lost about 7 months worth.
Before I performed the upgrade, I backed up my iphone, however it appears that the backup did not backup my pictures, as I used some third party software to see if there were pics in the back-up which there was not.
I don't sync my pics with iphoto, because I have previously restored my camera roll from a backup several times in the past, with no issues. What are my options to find all these lost pics?
PS - I use a Mac to sync (but I also have a PC).
1) Is there a way to go back to older version of my back-up file? Like from a couple days ago? It looks like itunes only stores a couple backup files. Do you think I could find older/deleted/overwritten versions with file recovery software?
2) Is there any file recovery software that can look on the iphone's hard disk for these "deleted" picture files? In the past, I've used file rescue software on an SD card to retrieve deleted pics, and it works flawlessly.
Any help is appreciated!!

MCPaulyB,
Have you found a solution to your problem? I, too, lost files during the upgrade to iOS 5.0. My files in Pages, Numbers and Keynote disappeared although the update said they'll be saved in iCloud. They simply vanished after the update.

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Recovering lost data from a very old backup (disaster recovery)

Hi all,
I am trying to restore and recover data from an old DAT-72 cassette. All I know is the date when the backup was taken, that is back in November 2006. I do not know the DBID or anything else except for the date.
To recover this, I bought an internal SCSI HP c7438a DAT-72 tape drive on eBay and installed it on a machine running Windows 2003 Server SP2. I made a fresh Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition installation. HP tape drivers have been installed and Windows sees the tape drive without problem. To act as a Media Manager, I have installed Oracle Secure Backup. Oracle Secure Backup sees the HP tape drive without problems as well.
I have to admit my information about Oracle is not very in-depth. I read quite a lot of documents, but the more I read the more confused I become. The closest thing I can find to my situation is the following guide about disaster recovery:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007948
I tried the suggestions in this document without success (details below).
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to retrieve data without knowing the DBID?
2. If not, is it possible to figure out the DBID from the tape? I tried to use dd in cygwin, also booted with Knoppix/Debian and Ubuntu CDs to dump the contents of the tape with dd but all of them failed to see the tape device. If there is any way to dump the raw contents of the tape on Windows, I would also welcome input.
3. Is there any way at all to recover this data from the tape given all the unknowns?
Thanks very much in advance,

Hi 845725,
If the backups were created with OSB might be you can query the tape with obtool.
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htmTo list pieces you could use <lspiece> within obtool.
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htm#BHBBIFFEIf this works you should be able to identify the controlfile autobackup if it has the standard naming < c-dbid-date-xx > and you than know the DBID or you are able to restore a controlfile from a backup piece in the output list.
Might be you have to install 9i or 10g rdbms software as 11g was released a year later in 2007.
Anyway goodluck.
Regards,
Tycho

Can I recover lost data from my calendar?

I have an iPhone 4S and had been using the calendar. When I recently purchased an iPad2 Wi-Fi, i lost years worth of data from my calendar when I attempted to sync the two using iCloud. The data is not on either the iPhone or iPad and I'm wondering if there is any way I can recover this?

Check iTunes via sync to see if you have a previous backup of your iPhone that you know contained the calendar data. You can restore your iPad from an iPhone backup. Just do it in iTunes on your computer.

Can i recover lost data from encrypted drive by Bitlocker

Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7.
few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
my 300 gb of data lost. and nothing saved
i remember unlock password.
how can i recover my data ??? i need my data
i tried drive recovering tools (advanced EFS data recovery, easeus . . ,) . but . . . it's encrypted and formatted drive.
can i undo quick format and decrypt ???
sorry my english is not good.
someone help me please.

BitLocker is not the cause of failed to recover files.
Format a drive will clear all data saved on the hard disk. Thus recovery formatted data will be a hard disk based technology but not related to operation system. There is no build-in data recovery feature in Windows operations. So we will needto use third party recovery tool or contact third party data recovery company for current issue.
As recovery missing data service will be expensive, we can also check emails and contact friends to see if that can help get a part of files back especially for photos, documents etc.

How to recover lost data from a mac that was erased and locked using findmyiphone app

Hi,
My macbook pro was locked and erased using find my iphone app then it was recovered. I entered my pin and unlocked it. I then have the option to reinstall the OS on a new hard drive or my old one (which is blocked).
What do I do if i want to recover all of my old data?

Alas the answer is : NO
If you have an external HD, you may try tun run a recovery tool instlled on this external device searching for keystring "index.xml"
With a bit of luck, it will retrieve an old copy of your document.
I hope that this time you will understand that working the way you did is playing with matches.
Whe you work on a document already saved once, duplicate the document before opening it and check that both copies are OK.
This way you will have at least a copy containg the datas from the 25 first day.
During the working session, don't save with the name of the opened doc, save vert ten minutes with different names.
Doing that you will recover at least the copy which you opened.

Is it possible to restore lost data from an app that was deleted then reinstalled?

I had a problem switching the accounts on ITunes and accidentally deleted an App, all of its data was deleted and when I repurchased the app(free app) I cannot access the games account. Their support won't let me solve it. Can I restore the lost data?

Ah. That is a pity, my last backup on Itunes was 2012, the app i only recently got.

Is it possible to recover deleted texts from an iPhone?

Does anyone know if it's possible to recover deleted text messages on an iPhone (4S)?

Checking up on him, huh? aha. I hated when my parents did that when I was little, but that's besides the point.. Anyways, there is no way to get the messages back. iMessages aren't stored on iCloud like data is. However, with that said, if there is more than one Apple device logged in with the same Apple ID, then any messages that he sends and receives, will show up on the other Device. For instance, I have my iPhone 5S and an iPad mini; because the accounts on both of them are the same, I can send and receieve the same messages from them with either device.

Recovering lost data from a table

Hi experts,
We have lost some information from EQUI table because of a programming error of a developer, when deleting by mistake some registers with the work area. Is there any way to recover this information without recovering the last security copy??
Maybe from some modification log or something. "log data changes" checkbox is not checked on se11 technical options.
Thank you very much!
Artur

Hi,
reviewers pointed alread to a db backup and restore of the table in question.
Depends much on what DB vendor and version you have.
if you running on Oracle it maybe possible to SELECT on the table with the TIMESTAMP option.
i.e. you want to have the values 5 minutes ago before someone changed and commited
the change:
select * yourtable as of timestamp sysdate - 5/24/60
where .... " you may have some criteria to filter on the rows in question
But if your data is already out of the UNDO retention time you have to choose the hrad way
of physical restore of the table .
bye

Is it possible to recover limited data from the Calendar/Date Book?

During a recent sync, my Blackberry 8330 deleted certain old calendar data (everything that wasn't a repeating event). Is there a way I can recover these old calendar entries without restoring a complete backup that would erase more recent entries? [I have reset the synchronization and configured it correctly going forward, but I really need some of the old calendar data]

hmmm... if you must, AND if you have a recent backup of the BB, you can use ABC Amber Converter to MERGE two IPD backup files from your PC.

Can I recover lost data from my hard disk?

I went to Software Update and downloaded all necessary files. When I finished the message said that it couldn't load the Java update. I restarted the computer, the apple showed in the middle of the screen and then it went to a circle with a bar through it, a bit like a no smoking sign. I restarted again but still nothing. I sent it off to the computer tech and he reloaded the original disks but all my photos and documents are gone. Can something be done to recover the files? Nothing shows up in Finder..

Hi,
*"I sent it off to the computer tech and he reloaded the original disks but all my photos and documents are gone."*
If the tech erased and reinstalled the Mac OS X, then those files are gone. But if an Archive and Install was done, then there should be a "Previous System folder" and your files might be there but no guarantees. *You need to contact the repair tech and find out exactly what was done*.
From now on, back your files up so you can avoid this happening in the future.
