Lost all contacts & messages after updating to Bel...

Can anyone help please?? Nokia Ovi Suite said it was backing up before installing - in fact I couldn't load the new software without it. I can see the obscure backup file on my laptop. Have lost all my contacts and messages on my phone. Does anyone know how I can restore the backup file? Tried to synch thru Suite but it had same information as my phone - not the backup details, which seems completely pointless! Help please - thanks!

Have also lost all calendar entries - which I need!
Have you ever synchronized your phone's contacts, messages, calendar, photos, etc. with Nokia Suite before upgrading to Belle?
If you did, then you can have them back by synchronizing again. If you didn't then I'm sorry to tell you you've lost that info, but even in this scenario you have one last chance; that is by restoring the info previously backed up from your phone with Nokia Suite. Do not restore your apps, just restore contacts, calendar and messages if they are available.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!!!

  • HT1414 i lost my all contact no. after update the software, where can i restore it?

    i had lost all my contact info after update the software.

    You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer all along.  They should be in your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • I lost all my emails after update

    After updating to Maverick, Mac Mail doesn't show old messages anymore. They are still there, but when I open them, they're totally blank. I have 3 years of emails in my Macbook and I'm very disappointed. Any clue on how restore them?

    Resetting does not lose content so you must be talking about restoring it.
    I haven't had any problems with the iOS 6.0.1 update. Is that the update you are talking about?
    It's frustrating to encounter problems like this but don't fall into the, "if I had a problem everyone else must be having it too", trap.
    I'm a bit confused about what state you are currently in. Did you restore your iPad to Factory (just like new) using iTunes on your PC/Mac? If so, are you still having problems? If yes, you may have a hardware problem. Fixing this would be covered under warranty if your iPad is only 4 months old. Contact Apple support or visit an Apple store.

  • Lost all my photos after updating iOS8

    Hi,
    Before updating to the new iOS8 I backed up my phone to iCloud (including photos).
    After the update I have lost ALL of my photos. I tried to erase all content on my phone and start again, but still no luck.
    Any ideas on how to get my photos back?
    Thanks

    Your photos are still on your phone.  With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more.  The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
    The CR is replaced by the Collections mode.  The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.
    The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.
    More on how to find your photo in iOS 8 is described in this Apple document: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
    The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18).  In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.
    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

  • Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

    Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
    I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

    I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.

    Hey Tosin29188,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac?  Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
    Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Lost all my photos after updating from 2.14 to 3. Anyway to recover them?

    Have been using aperture 2.14 for years, love it! Uploaded about a months worth of photos last night and began editing as normal. Program kept crashing over and over so I began searching reason why and realized it could be because I just updated to Mavericks OSX. Read that Mavericks and older versions of aperture can be "buggy" and that I should upgrade aperture to 3.0. After the upgrade all photos after 2009 are gone. I have everything backed up except the months worth of photos I just uploaded last night and I already deleted from my camera. Anyway to recover them? I went to the root aperture library to see if they were still there just not being referenced and the file size changed right before my eyes! Please help

    Open the App Store, choose "Updates" from the bottom, then "Purchased".  You can re-download your purchased apps from there.
    Of course, before that, you had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign in with your Apple ID.

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • Lost all contacts and dial pad on iphone 3gs after update

    Hi, please can someone help, ive lost all contacts and the abillity to add , also my dial pad wont work, all after update , i cant even re ad contacts through my messages.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  For some reason, are you not using the device as designed?
    As for other issues... basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • I just updated to new software, this was my first mistake, at first contacts were not there and my pics, and it deleted all my messages, after alot of research i got all this back, but now cant text, getting error "sms box is full"

    i just updated to the new software, now im getting error when i send a txt "cannot receive in box is full" ive deleted alot and cant get this fixed, also when i first did the update i lost all contacts, pics and it deleted all txt conversations after several restores i did get all that back but cannot receive txt, any suggestions?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
