Lost data after a phone update?
Hi all,
I have a Nokia N95 and ran an update on my phone- I was careful to back-up all my data using PC Suite before updating. After the update i had gone back to the factory settings and had absolutely none of my data on their at all.
So i went back to Nokia PC Suite and the Content Copier to reload my data- but..... it cant find my save data!
I have used the restore option and asked it find the data itself which it cant- and have tried searching the location it states it would have been saved in- but once again nothing!!
I states and confirms the data was saved yesterday so it must be their somewhere!
Can anyone please help because at the moment i have no contacts, picture, etc!!
Any help would be gratefully appreciated- many thanks
Lewys

Lost data after os mavericks update?
just updated to osx mavericks and lost all the data and apps on the system. How do i restore these apps and lost data?
From the backup you made before installing Mavericks. Did you make a Time Machine backup or make a bootable clone of your system?
Cheers

Iphone 3G Recover Lost Data After iOS 4 Update
I am able to manage my iphone to go back previous backup and restore all calendar - contacts - Lockbox Pro Passwords etc...(data stored for all applications)
First I would like to mention that you should have Windows 7 or maybe you can use Windows XP restore function.
For Win 7:
C:\Users\"Your User Name Folder"\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
Find the file Named Backup
Then right click the folder and go to properties and form the upper tabs choose "Previous Versions" (Copy the original Backup folder to your desktop for maybe future need.)
Then from the bottom choose "Restore"
Please note that Itunes should be closed that time and you must have a back up for some time ago.
After that you can use the usual Restore function of Iphone from Itunes.
When restoring choose the correct backup file by checking from the date of its creation.
When it is complete you will have all your previous data in your iphone.
Hope This Helps...
Message was edited by: waadaaI was able to fix the issue. I had to manually put the phone in restore mode by holding the power button and the home button until the power turned off while the phone was still plugged into the computer, then when the phone turned off continue holding the home button until you hear the computer recognize the device. Then navigate to the back up folder that is described earlier and cut out all of the back up folders and paste them on your desktop. Then iTunes said that a device was recognized in restore mode or something like that and you click yes to restore. After this happen the iPhone will go through the processes of restoring the phone. When it finishes it will start like a brand new device and it will be updated to the OS4.0. You will then need to go through the tabs at the top of the iPhone sync window and re check all of the items that you want synced to your phone. The only data that was totally lost was my pictures, but after the iPhone finishes reloading, you may be able to go back to the desktop and cut the backup folders and paste them back into the backup folder and restore your phone from a previous back up and you may still be able to recover those photos. This worked for me so I hope it works for all of you as well. Thanks!

Is there any way to save my data after i have updated my phone and backed it up first
Is there any way to retrive or save my data after updating my phone and its locked, asking to restore to original settings in itunes.
If there is a passcode on your iPhone, which you don't know, there is no way around it. You'll have to restore factory settings. The passport is meant to protect sensitive data, and that is, what it does.

Restore lost data after update, frozen on apple logo
Hi All,
I need help! I decided to finally update to the latest 8.1.3 (guessing that is what it was). Everything seemed fine until it re-started and it froze on the apple logo. No matter how long I pressed on the home and on/off button, no change! Then I decided to reset it and I figured I could just restore data from iCloud. Well, it turns out the last back up was from mid last year and now I've lost so many images, data, texts, etc. I am devastated and don't know how else to recover the lost data. I am kicking myself for ignoring all the back up prompts...do not ignore, sh*t happens. If anyone has any input, I will be so grateful!!JJust hold both buttons till it restarts. Humming you may of lost it. But if you been syncing you just resign in.

LOST EVERYTHING AFTER 2.0 UPDATE
Fellow iPhoners
Recently I upgraded to the 2.0 update which went through smoothly, it restored my iphone with my up to date contacts and other information. I got the apps. store and downloaded a couple apps. and everthing was fine. Well the next day I noticed that none of my music or videos had synced to my phone so I jumped back on and proceeded to sync my media. Well after the sync it down graded my contact list and all information from back in October.
(note: I called apple and the guy pretty much didn't help me and said the information is gone.)
thanks,
JohnI lost my photos and my books after 4.3 update. As I opened Books I saw my list evaporate. After reading another thread on this site I rebooted and got my photos back but not my books. Help.

I recently bought two 9300s from BestBuy. I'm getting data charges that the rep at Koodo says are related to the phone updating itself. I don't have a data plan (only used for messaging and as a phone) so these charges stand out. Some of the charges are at 5AM or at other times when I know the phones are not being used. All data charges are identified simply as RIM. I have a couple of questions:
Re: the charges in the middle of the night. I'm at home - the phone is connected to WiFi. Why would I incur data charges.
Is there a way to tell the phone not to update that will not affect messaging (text & picture) or the phone? Because I'm not using any higher end abilities of the phone I don't really care if it updates.
Is there a way to tell the phone to only update using WiFi? Since some of these charges are from when the phone is connected to WiFi I'm not sure how effective this might be.
Any help would be appreciated. After a month's worth of the BlackBerry/Koodo experience and am somewhat disenchanted.
ThanksI recently had my Motorola 4G Droid replaced after it was damaged. After activating the new phone, I received a message about a software update that said, "Your RAZR has been updated with Android 4.0 software". After the update I lost all my emails and contacts that had just been synced to my new phone the day before. I am not a techy by any stretch of the imagination, and have had at least five Verizon Wireless devices over the years, and want to know why the software cannot be update before the device is activated? I had to go to a Verizon Wireless franchise/dealer (Millennium Communications, 1660 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, Pa. 19031) where Bob was of great assistance in getting my emails and contacts restored. It took Bob 45 minutes to do this and he is very conversant with all the Verizon Wireless devices and services. It would have taken incalculably longer for me to to resolve the issue. During the time Bob was assisting me as a "good neighbor" he was unable to make sales during that period and I was unable to fulfill multiple business contacts I had scheduled for that day.
This entire charade seems so unnecessary: Why have a practice that updates software after a device has been activated, only to have all recently transferred emails and contacts erased? This is the antithesis of good customer PR/Service/Customer Support in my opinion. Shame on Verizon Wireless for putting me and Bob through this.

Tried to download (sync) my pics and videos to my PC. Itunes advised me that my phone and itunes had an update available and I could update both which is what I did. At the very end I was advised the update could not complete and my phone locked up (picture of charge wire and itunes logo on my phone). I could not turn the phone off and was advised by itunes that I had to restore the phone, this was my only option. I chose restore which put everything from my last sync back on my phone and deleted everything that I was trying to sync (pics, videos, songs, apps...etc.). How do I go about restoring or finding all of the lost data?

How to restore lost data after accidentally syncing iPhone to new computer?
So, I've been reading around the forum on the correct stepst to syncing an iPhone to a new computer in order to keep all data. Unfortunately, I only saw these discussions AFTER automatically syncing my iPhone with my new computer. So all my phone contents and settings are gone and only my apps remain, because they're still on my iTunes. My question is: is there are painless way where I can restore all my lost data (e.g. contacts, phone setting, VPNs, camera roll photos, messages, etc.) onto my phone again?
lucky you have something left. in my case, i lost my first iphone so i bought a new one and im trying to register for online support and syncing it i just lost all the data in the new phone... all i have is this emergency call on the screen...please help....

I lost artwork after the latest update?
After the latest update I lost most of my artwork but oddly not all of it. I am now trying to fix the issue and have run into a roadblock: the artwork won't take. I've tried several different approaches to adding the artwork but none of them are showing up on my iPad, though it looks like they are there on my iMac. I manually manage my music so I can't sync the stuff. When I tried deleting an album and replacing it my iTunes freaked out ("preparing to update" and a swirly mouse pointer is all I get.)
How do I fix this issue?
I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to having the artwork boxes filled so this is driving me a bit crazy... ugh.Okay. You've mentioned an iPad and an iMac and iTunes. So what brings you to the iBook Discussions?
When posting in one of those other discussion areas, it may be helpful to include which version the OS and iTunes you're running on the Mac you're using to sync the iPad. -
Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked - after the phone update
I have the following error "
Error 1 Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284. 0 0
I'm pretty sure it happened after the last update. I was able to use my phone as a dev one before
and my account shows it as a registered device.
The OS version is 7.10.8107.79.
The steps that I tired
-Registered again my phone with the registration tool
-Check the issue with Zune auto-launcher (zune isn't syncing and the phone is connected)
-Close and start everything again
Other possible issues
- Do I have to have sdk 7.1 to deploy?
- Do I have to wait 24h for registration?You should be using SDK 7.1 anyway, so install that.
After the update, the phone may have locked itself. This may not be reflected in your AppHub account though. Using the Developer Registration Tool, register the device, unregister it, then register it again. -
