Just synced and updated my iphone 5 in itunes and my old imessages are showing but recent ones gone?

Hiya,
Was having some problem with my phone provider EE and was told to sync my iphone to itunes and reinstall it and that should fix the probem. I have done this and for some reason my recent imessages and whatsapp messages have gone but loads of my old ones from my old phone has come onto it..
Im sure there is logically explanation for this?? I am sorry but I am fairly new to apple products
thanks

It depends on the iCloud backup you restored the device with if you used one.
You may have selected an old backup from your old phone instead of a backup for your current one. iOS devices allow you to restore different devices with different backups.

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

HT4623 I have just tried to update my Iphone 5 and its jow stuck with the iTunes plug in sign, what do I do nomw?

I have just tried to update my iPhone 5 adn its stuck with iTunes plug in sign, I have always used my I CLOUD.
Please someone help, Im lost without my phone!!

Do this.
Turn your phone off: When you get to that itunes plug in sign, press and hold the power and home button until your screen goes black, and release those buttons when it goes black. ( make sure your phone is not plugged in your pc yet).
Now your phone is off.
Next do this: Press and hold power+home button for exactly 10 seconds, after 10 seconds pass, release the power button but keep holding your home button for exactly 13 seconds.
Now plug in your usb cord to your pc and then to iphone, and open up itunes. Itunes should say that there is a device in recovery mod discovered , and simply press RESTORE. Your iphone will restore and you'll be able to use your phone.
Reply with results or questions.
Hope I helped.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

It all depends on the definition of "factory unlocked". If the phone was purchased directly from Apple and the receipt says "Unlocked" then updating or restoring it will leave it unlocked (Apple never uses the term "factory unlocked" as there is no such thing; phones are unlocked at activation time). Similarly, if it had been locked to a carrier and the carrier authorized it to be unlocked, and you went through the unlocking steps they provided, it is permanently unlocked.
Unfortunately, a lot of the phones sold as "factory unlocked" were actually unlocked by hacking in the "factory" in the basement of some shop somewhere. These phones at best will become locked to the original carrier if restored, and in the worst case will be permanently disabled if restored.
