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...

    I 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!

  • 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

  • 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,
    John

  • After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

    Hello!
    I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • App did not Restore Data after iOS 4 update on 3G

  • Keyboard is randomly unresponsive after latest Mavericks update. How to fix this?

    My keyboard is randomly unresponsive for a minute or two after the latest update. This happens a few times a day. Does anybody else experience this problem?
    I'm on a 2011 Macbook Air, using Mavericks.

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  • After latest Mavericks update my MacBook Pro will not boot up

    After using software update, I believe it said it was a security update. My laptop will not progress past a screen that says " Setting up your Mac...".  I have tried holding down the power to restart but it always stops at the same place. I am using a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009) running mavericks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 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.

  • Lost data after restore

    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....
