Lost all photos and apps on update

I have a 3GS and have just done the ISO5 update and have now lost all my photos and applications.  Prior to doing the update I backed up but during the update the phone synched again to the new settings, extremely upset.  Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, try all possible to get any backup if you did, such as Google address books, iTunes backup files, or iCloud backup.
If you really don't have any backup, don't worry, you can use some third-party iPhone data recovery software to get your photos, messages and contacts back!

  • Synched Ipod lost all photos and apps.

    I synced my ipod to my computer for the first time. I downloaded itunes on my computer. I connected my ipod and was told to download latest software for ipod. After downloading, I got message that download failed. Had to unplug and reconnect ipod to computer. Set up as new connection and new ipod name. All photos and apps are gone. Where did the apps and photos get downloaded to?? How do I get back to original ipod name I had before I unplugged and re-plugged in and gave new name. Apps and photo's no where to be found in Itunes on my computer.

    You should have backed up to iCloud and restore backup after the sync or update.

  • Lost all contacts AND apps after updating my 3G to 4.0

    I lost everything with the exception of my Safari bookmarks and my photos in my photo album. Have tried restoring from several back ups but nothing. Any other PC users with a 3G have this issue? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. - Duane

    I have actually more than once but to no avail. No one else who is synced to a PC has seemed to lose both and still not get them back after trying from various restore points from what I can tell. Thanks though!

  • I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new.  I pressed old and lost  recent photos and apps.  what can i do to undo this mess

    An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes.  In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps.  Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
    Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

  • Lost all photos after a software update

    I really hope someone can help here as I'm pretty desperate!
    My iMac, running OS 10.4.11 recently offered a software upgrade on-line to iPhoto, to iPhoto 8 (7.14)
    I accepted and when I tried to launch it next it said it couldn't show any photos and quoted that it needed to update the thumbnails. I accepted that it should do so. Nothing seemed to happen and no pictures showed after the supposed re-build stopped.
    On quitting and re-launching I found to my horror that it had lost all photos, events, folders etc. meaning I'd lost over 400 pictures of our 3 year olds.
    I searched for advice and have tried some remedies to library failures posted here but to no avail. All I could do was copy in pictures from my hard disc back-up folder and my iDisk but these stop at July 2008. I'm gutted, my wife will kill me so what on earth can I do?
    Plus, to Apple - thanks! How the **** can this happen?

    There's no reason to panic. Simply you have a damaged database file.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

  • Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

    Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
    Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
    Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
    Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
    HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • After system restore to back up have lost texts, photos and app data

    Speakers not working on iphone all of a sudden and volume switches not working (just the volume comes up but no bars at the bottom).  So did system restore and more problems.
    After I did this restore (to my backup done today) to my iphone 4s, I now have no text messages on my phone, no photos and no data on my nike running app (6months of records of runs).  Have searched through these forums and still stuck.
    I think I'm going to have to take my iphone somewhere for the speaker issue, but have no idea where as optus sent it out to me directly via mai l(Adelaide, Australia).  
    In the meantime, I really want my texts, photos and app data back on my phone.
    any help HUGELY appreciated..

    thanks for your reply.  I am trying the restore again now.
    But no, I still have no sound, so it was all for naught.  Its fine if I have headphones in, and fine if its in a dock or connected to bluetooth, the phone also rings and I can hear people on the phone:  the only sound that doesnt work is music playing through the speaker, and video.  Also when I press the volume up and down buttons, nothing works.  I suspect there is something wrong with the docking connection as far as I can see from other peoples questions on here.
    But the loss of texts and app data is just the icing on the cake

  • Updated and back uped phone last night and now have lost all photos and aps.  What happened

    backed up phone last night and lost all aps, contacts, and photos.  What happened

    The phone was not restored from the backup.
    Frankly, unless the user actually copies the pictures off the device to the computer, there is no guarantee they will return.  They should return when restored from backup, but it's not a risk that most intelligent people are willing to take if the photos are considered valuable.
    Apps may not be syncing due to the "Sync Apps" option being deselected.

  • Lost all my paid apps after updating to iOS4!  Apps not in backup!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch (3 gen) from some OS 3.xxx to iOS4. After 1-2 hours, I got an error message saying that the backup failed. I looked on my iPod touch and saw that all of my apps were deleted except 4 random ones. Thinking that my apps were safe in my backup, I checked in iTunes. My free apps were still there but my 2 paid apps were gone! They were Doodle Jump and Ninja Fruit. Although it's only $2 dollars - I lost my money! Will Apple give my 2 paid apps or money back? I had all my updates done so my apps were iOS4 OK.
    One little note. My iPod touch was jailbroken which makes me worried. All I got from Cydia was Pokemon and Themes. Did this contribute to the problem? Yet, a lot of people jailbreak and don't have a problem. But, I am certain that I paid for those 2 apps. I even got physical invoices in the mail.

    "What if all my data is actually lost?"
    What data? Your contacts, calendars, etc should be synced to your computer, you can just sync it right back.
    " What if Apple bills me again?"
    For the apps? I gave you a link to Apple's instructions on how to download apps again for free. Follow them.
    " I'm afraid to click "OK". =("
    Don't know how to help you there.
    "I also don't have any music either. "
    Your music should be on your computer as well ( in itunes). That is how you got on the ipod in the first place, is it not? Just sync it back to the ipod
    " Is the iOS4 update supposed to restore your ipod to initial settings?"
    It does not normally do that ( at least in my experience), but you should always make sure that everything is copied to your computer and backed up before you install an update or do a restore.

  • HT1766 lost my photos and videos during update

    Never backed up and synced my ipad mini. went to update to the ios 6 and lost all my photos and videos. any way of getting it back?

    If you mean photos and videos that you took with the iPad itself, no. You can't recover them without a backup. That is where the photos and videos from the camera roll are stored - in the backup.
