Is there ANY way to recover a backup done during sync?

I synced my phone on July 22. Tonight I finally decided to set aside time to update to iOS 5.1.1 (from 4. something). It backed up FIRST, but after the update, all of my contacts, all of my photos...everything is gone. And the most recent backup available before that is May of LAST YEAR. Which means that not only did the update kill my contacts, notes, etc (a lot has happened in the last year) it destroyed every single picture of my new baby and a lot of other very special photos. I am beside myself right now.
There has to be a way to restore from one of the countless syncs I've done between last May and tonight. Please. Someone tell me I haven't just lost my new baby's first two months of photos.
basic info: I'm running windows vista, iphone 3GS 8g

Ok now to answer my own question in a way, and I hope this helps others...but I found out that if you have your notes synced to your email account, all your notes save in a folder within your email account. They all save under the folder called "notes." And I found all my notes there, even ones I had purposefully deleted a long time ago. So before you go reset or whatever to your iphone, just check through your email account first!

HT1414 Is there any way to recover the backup of your iPhone after restoring to factory settings?

I restored my iPhone4 to factoring settings without realizing it. I need some of the things that were on my last backup before i restored it. I was wondering if there was any way to reverse this.

With an iTunes back up you can find if you have one by following the steps below if you have a PC/Mac.
Windows:
Edit>Preferences>Devices
Mac:
iTunes>Preferences>Devices
With iCloud follow the steps below.
1. Go to Settings>iCloud
2. Sign In
3. Tap Storage & Back up
4. Manage Storage
This will show back ups made on iCloud.
If you have a back in iTunes or iCloud restore from that back up and see whatdatat comes back on the phone.
Hope this helps

Is there any way to recover this backup?

I synched my iphone just before restoring it and I think it layered over the last sync with the empty, restored iphone. Now when I try to restore it from a backup the most recent is completely blank.

Yes but older versions are several months old and critical data and information is lost... How is it possible that the backup was layered over with nothing? Surely the information must still be there.

A better way is to select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desk top folder, right click on it and burn to disk

Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?

Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?

Would the backup be password protected? I don't know ... After you restore from a back-up, and if you have passwords set up, would the newly restored iPad require a password or would it be "live" for 5 minute or however long the iPad was set to wait to require a password? Maybe wiser heads can advise...

I accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from icloud?

You have to start by erasing the phone so if there's any newer data on it that is not contained in your last backup, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Then sign into your iCloud account and choose your backup to restore from.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish.

Is there any way to recover old text messages after update

When i updated my new iPhone OS to the new system, i had to end up doing a restore. This wiped out all my info and while i have a backup on the computer. I can seem to find a way to recover old text messages via the iMessage platform. Is there any way to recover some of those old conversations? Some have sentimental value to them.

I just need the last month of texts and I had not backed up for several months.

Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

I've not failed to do that. The contact list on my Mac is from my phone, not my wifes phone (which is the troublesome one). I restored it to last backup and it is back but I am not certain the problem will be fixed. Time will tell. My question is how to get her phones contact list back post reset...just the contact list.

Your music will only be where you put it.
Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one?

Is there any way to recover accidentally deleted photos?

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 running on Windows 7 PC.
After importing a group of photos including JPG and RAW files from a memory card (which was later reformatted), I noticed that the photos ended up in a folder on the wrong external drive. I tried to move them to another folder on the main drive using Lightroom and somehow deleted the original files. I can still see them in a Collection, but they cannot be edited or Developed as the underlying file cannot be found. Is there any way to recover these photos? Willing to listen to all suggestions. Thanks for your input.

Find an "undelete utility" (one such utility is called Recuva, but I have never used it) and see if it can recover your RAW photos. If you are going to do this, do not perform any other tasks on your computer except to find, download, install and run this undelete utility. If possible, download and install on a different drive than the photos were on. You can also try this undelete utility on your camera card.
While I'm at it, you might want to develop and implement a backup strategy, in which you don't delete from the camera card until you have TWO (or more) copies of your photos, on TWO (or more) different physical disks. And don't forget to back up your catalog file regularly and automatically.

I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it? My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

Help! I have deleted my iphoto library. Is there any way to recover it? It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post: Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.
