Lost all data when updating to iOS 7. Help would be appreciated.

I forgot to back up my iPhone before updating to iOS 7, and lost all data. Are there any methods for restoring the data without iCloud or iTunes?

When you do get your phone set back up - USE ICLOUD TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!

Lost all data when updating iPod Touch

I've managed to update my iPod software and after it was updated, all the music files disappear except for the apps. I did the restore option and it erase ALL of data inside which irritates me greatly. Now, the music and the apps are gone. I want to know how to restore all the music and apps that I have before the update. i noticed that when I update the software, it ask me to backup and so I did. However, I cannot seem to know how to execute this kind of backup.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if that will work, iTunes have already exported my music library and the music contained inside the iPod isn't located inside this computer. So it should means that iTunes will sync the music library, not from the lost data. This situation stands at updating my iPod this morning and it eradicated all the previous music data it have inside, I've tried to restore from backup but only able to restore on two time periods.

IPod touch 4th generation lost all data after updating to iOS 5.0

I recently updated my iPod touch 4th generation from iOS 4.3 to iOS 5.0. However, when I went to access my iPod touch, all the app data was gone. My spending app was blank, my game stats were gone, and everything was lost.

Try to restore from the latest backup taken before the update.
Apps can be downloaded again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 :(

I didn't back up and have lost all my data when updating to iOS 7 I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way at all i can recover the data?! Help pls!!!

Actually, if you have never backed up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud manually, there are still possibilities that iTunes or iCloud has backed up your iPhone automatically: every time you sync the iPhone with iTunes, iTunes will back up your iPhone automatically; if your iCloud backup was enabled, every time your iPhone is connected with Wifi and a power source with screen-locked, iCloud will create a backup automatically. If you find the backups, but the backups are not up to date, and you don’t want to lose the data generated after the backups, you can extract the lost data from the backups using the iPhone backup extractor.
In addition, you can also try to use the iPhone data recovery software to scan and recover the data on your iPhone directly even if you have no backups of your iPhone.

I lost all my data when updating to iOS 7.0.6

Hi, umm i was updating my phone to the recent software the ios7.0.6 is it? well anyways i havent backed up my phone for almost a year now, and when i updated it, it told me to restore it, and i dont want to do that but I had no choice because i cant use my phone until i connected to the itunes to 'Restore', is there any ways that i can change it back to the previous one? i really have important things in there and really need it .
Last time i lost my data, i was so devastated, now im experiencing it again... can anyone help me? Apple team can you help me? or any computer geniuses, im no computer whizz so please help me, Im now desperate that i had to join this Apple support community....

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
In other words, after your first experience with data loss, there is no logical reason you should have been neglecting to backup your data regularly. iCloud backups are free and can be set to backup automatically. iTunes backups are also free.
I'm sorry you lost your data, but this falls solely and squarely on your shoulders.

Lost all signal after updating to IOS 7.1

I have an iphone 4s and Tesco sim. No previous problems at all and had kept the phone updated, until about 5 days ago when I updated to IOS 7.1, since when I have lost all my network coverage. It constantly shows 'Searching' or sometimes 'No Service'. I can't make or receive any calls or SMS which is hugely frustrating - though the rest of the phone is working fine and I can still imessage using the internet. It's not a problem with the provider (I have a work phone on the same network which is working fine) and it isn't the sim card, which I had changed incase that was the problem. I've tried all the tips I can see on here - putting flight mode on, turning phone on/off, turning 3g on/off, turning automatic carrier on/off, reset network setting, even did a factory reset today - all to no avail.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Seems very unfair that I should lose the basic use of my phone for updating?

Lost All Songs When Updating

My daughter lost all her songs on her i-pod. She just got a new laptop and when she hooked up her I-pod for the first time, it asked, "Would you like to update and make this your computer for the I-pod?" or words to that effect. She said yes and it wiped all the songs off her i-pod. The old computer with the original downloads is gone (it was a loaner) and the hard drive wiped clean. Anyway to retrieve her songs? Help is much appreciated

Sorry, but if she synchronized her iPod to an empty iTunes library, the tracks on her iPod are probably gone. She can try a Windows file recovery utility - some claim to work with iPods, though I can't make a specific recommendation - and see if it can recover the tracks, but not having used any I don't know how well it will work. Otherwise, she'll have to reimport your CDs and restore her purchased tracks from her backup (she did make a backup, didn't she? I hope so).
For future reference, synchronization between iTunes and an iPod is one way only, from iTunes to the iPod. So if you're connecting your iPod to a new, blank copy of iTunes, you cannot let it synchronize automatically or it will delete all the tracks from the iPod. To connect an iPod with tracks to a blank copy of iTunes, you need to turn off automatic synchronization. There are instructions in other threads here on how to keep an iPod from synching automatically on connection, and on how to transfer tracks from an iPod back to iTunes.
I know this doesn't help the situation now, but just in case the issue ever arises in the future, she'll know more about what to do.

Iphone 4 Lost all Data after updating

Hi there..
i got headache reading everywhere to find a solution to my problem, and didn't find any useful tips so far, i haven't slept for the past 24 hours because of this..
last day i did an update to my itunes to the latest version, and upgraded my iphone, while doing that my iphone got an error that it couldn't be updated and got stuck on recovery mode, and itunes asked me to do a restore to factory sitting, which i did, but in the last few seconds it just shows an error message that it cant update, and i get error 10, so i did what the manual said and tried using another computer which fortunately worked..
so i return to my first computer and tried to restore my backup files, and then i faced another problem, there was not enough space on my hard drive, i kept moving files away, deleting others and trying again, and every time i try, it takes up more space and i end up with few Kb on the drive.. i didn't know what to do, and got confused i think i click on back up instead of sync at some point, and when i realized that i hurried and unplugged the USP from the iphone, and in that moment a 3GB worth of data disappeared from my hard drive (i think it was the data the ituens kept creating while restoring back up) and a new back up worth 5mb was created on my back up folder..
now what i have on my iphone are my contact list, and my notes ..
what i don't have is 6 months worth of pictures and videos taken from the iphone, and my apps that are worth around $40 - $50
i read that iphone sync your data before doing a full restore, and i found 3 files on my back up folder one is 902 mb, secound 1.06GB and the third is 508 MB the first two dating today's date on 8:03 AM, the last one is also today on 6:33 AM which was the time i unplugged my USP from my iphone (i think)
i'v downloaded a program called "iPhone Backup Extractor" and saw that these folders contain all contacts, 300+ calender stuff and some messages (which i totally don't care for)but the photos and videos are marked None T_T
the question i'm asking is, how can i restore those lost pictures and videos, since they are very important to me, and how can i get my apps back?? i'v tried going to app store and downloading Whatsapp which i bought before, but now it asks me to pay again
i have some apps that is worth $5 and $10 each, i wouldn't mind paying for $.99 app again, but i can't pay more for an already paid app for that much yet again!!
by the way I have a windows Xp which i'm using, the restore worked on a windows 7 laptop
Plz help me, i'm starting to have a stomachache because all of this other than my headache T_T
Message was edited by: Hschi

so i was playing around seeing if i can get the apps back, and after going through the payment process it recognized that i'v bought this already, so i was able to download my stuff back.. (should have figured this out already, since it was an online transaction)
Still want to recover my camera roll, and i was wondering if chat logs could be recovered too, such as for the whatsapp???

Lost all contacts when updating software

Hey I just updated to v4.6 on my Bold and now I can't find any of my contacts...calendar and outlook info still there but all of my contacts were lost...HELP!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome!
Depending on how you did the update, it may have created, on your PC, a backup file. If you did the update via USB tether on your PC (e.g., not OTA), then search your hard drive for a file with an ipd extension (*.ipd). Inspect the results (date/time of the file) and then choose one to use in the restore. Then, launch the DTM software and conduct a selective restore:

Lost all apps when updating to OS4

Hi,
I updated to OS 4 yesterday and my backup failed. I stil proceeded with the update and the result was that I lost everything on the phone. When i tried resetting to a previous backup I still dont get my apps back. What should I do? I had 4 "pages" of apps, some of them really expensive. Please help me.

Itunes content is NOT included in your iphone backup. Itunes content is stored in your itunes library, so just sync to restore your itunes content. After you restore your from either from backup or as new, you must sync to restore your itunes content which is selected under the various tabs in itunes.

Lost my photos when updating to iOS 5

I did the update last night with apparently no problems, untill I checked the result of the backup copy of my iphone that iTunes was supposed to do during the update. Only then I realised that about one hundred of the photos I had on my iPhone had dissappeared! I tried to reinstall the backup copy and got an error message.... and I still can't recover my photos.
Has anyone experienced something like that? What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help guys!

I lost mine also. Stupidly did not back them up before doing the upload since my iPad went beautifully and only lost two apps that I was able to redownload. I dont even have the bckup that the download created. Can't find that anywhere on the computer. Looked in the directories of my phone and no luck. Wish there was some way to get back those pictures and videos of my two year old. Only two months are missing.
I also lost text messages. But, all apps are still there. Used the backup for the work iPad and it put on every single app I have!

Lost all contacts after updating to ios 8.2

I updated my phone to the new ios 8.2 and after installing the update my contacts were gone. I didn't have them backed up to icloud. How do I get them back?

If you did a clean install then you have to manually import contacts from the sim. Try this guide to import sim contacts easily on ios 8.
OR
Try going into settings ---> Mail,Contacts,Calendars ---> Import SIM Contacts.

Lost all calenders when updating software

Hi,
Being an utter simpleton I managed to lose all my info from ical when I had a problem with another peice of software.
I had to bin my libary and with it all my preferences. I have salvaged some info from the old libary but can't work out where all my ical info is? If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

Cia363,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Calendars will be stored in the Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources Folder. This folder contains as many sub folders as you have calendars. The sub folders will be named with obtuse names like 4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar. Inside each one of the sub folders will be a file named corestorage.ics which can be imported.
The full path name for each calendar (source) will be Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar/corestorage. ics
If you had several calendars, you will have a corestorage.ics file for each calendar.
Good Luck.
;~)
