Lost EVERYTHING that was backed up...

My home button broke on my iPhone, so had to take it in to get fixed.
Well, they couldn't fix it, so they gave me a new one.
I had everything backed up on iTunes just in case.
I come home, plug it in & it gets about 75% done & freezes!
I exited iTunes in hopes of starting over.. Well, everything was lost & it said my backup was complete.
I had multiple games & apps on my phone that I paid for and/or worked my butt off to do stuff on & I've just lost everything.
Is there anyway to find all my backup sessions so I can fix this?

I lost everything at one point as well as my iTunes only seemed to 'backup' two apps.
Once I got the phone working I had to re-download every app I had. Once I had them again I checked some of them out and for whatever reason, every single app still had all the settings/scores etc that they had before I lost them.
Was pretty annoying having to find every single app again but once I had them all it was great to find out they were exactly as I had last used them. Hope it works the same for you.
Good luck

  • I changed the format to an external drive and lost everything that was on it.

    I changed the format on an external hard drive and lost everything that was on it. Is there a way to recover what was on it?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

  • If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

    If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

    It will only delete the backup from iCloud.  It won't delete anything from your phone.

  • Are there files of everything that was backed up from your phone on your mac?

    I finished a backup and then tried to update to iOS 8 then while iOS 8 was updating it said that it was backing up my phone which was reset so nothing was on it so at the same time I clicked restore backup and then the iOS 8 update got corrupted and I think my backup was corrupted from that too. Everything that I backed up should still be on my mac somewhere because that backup was already finished so where do I find this stuff? and is there a way I can transfer everything I lost back on my phone like that? (If I try to simply press restore backup on iTunes it basically just restores my iPhone as new because the backup is corrupted I guess)

  • HT1212 I followed the I have never synced with itunes directions, and I appear to have lost everything that was on my itouch.  Now what?

    This is the most frustrating site and instructions.  I got locked out of my iTouch and had to do a system restore.  I followed the directions for having never synced with itunes directions, as I inheireted this itouch from my dad and when I tryed to sync before it looked like I would wipe out everything on it, which I DID NOT want to do.  Now, after following the directions, I have wiped out everything that was on it, pictures, songs,...is there anyway to restore what was on the itouch?

    Looking at those directions I am not seeing the device in itunes.  Here is what I followed from:  iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode under if you have never synced your device with itunes.
    "Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device."
    From:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229504
    So I followed these directions and in step number 5 it was uploading (I believe) for about 30 minutes.  When that was over there was no other directions and the device was still locked.  So I repeated the steps.  This time it restored the device, but when I get on it, I lost all music and pictures, along with a few apps.  The apps are no big deal as they were free downloads, so I can redo those with no problems.  Trying to follow your directions above and clicking through the links, my main problem is that I have no devices showing in itunes.  I just down loaded it today, so it is the latest version.  So what now?

  • Friend gave me used iphone3-we used it for 6 mos -now when we synced it to PC, our used iphone now has the contents of our existing iPod - lost everything that was on our used iphone!!  How to get it all back (we only care about home videos/photos).  Help

    A friend gave us her used iphone.  We used it to take home videos and photos, and now that we synced it to our PC it has lost everything on it, and it has been replaced with the contents of our already existing iPod.  In other words, all our music, photos and apps that were on our existing itunes account (used with our IPOD) etc, have been put into this used iPhone.  Is there any way to get back all that stuff (mainly just want our home videos and photos back!!)  Where on earth are they?  Are they stored somewhere on my PC?  I feel so dumb for syncing it now, and very sad for having lost my precious videos of my kids.
    Thanks for helping!

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

    Yes, as Diavonex said to restore your iTunes or iCloud backup.

    If it does not work, you may try a 3rd easy iPhone recovery tool to get your pictures back.

  • How do I retrieve my lost data that was backed up on iTunes?

    My phone recently had a problem where it needed to be restored every few hours. So I backed up my data on itunes and just before my phone restored, it completely broke and only the itunes logo appeared on my phone. So I sent it to be fixed and when I brought it back home to try to restore from back up, it wouldn't work as it wasn't even an option when I right clicked my device on itunes.
    Is there any way to retrieve that data for free. I've lost over 1500 photos,all my contacts and much more.

    That's the main problem. There is no option to "restore from backup " for me because my phone broke during the process of restoring. I'm concerned about the fact that itunes has history of my back up but no way of recovering anything I backed up.

  • When I did the latest IOS i.0.3 update I lost all of my calendar entrees.  How can I recover everything that was on my calendar?

    When I updated my iPhone 4Sto IOS 7.0.3 I lost all of the events and appointments that were on my calendar.  HOw can I retrieve everything that was on my calendar?

    Same here. Besides the phone randomly crashing all the time I now also lost my calendar.
    I did a backup to iCloud and then updated the phone and I assumed it would get the data back from iCloud...
    Anybody hae a fix for this? Do I need to trigger a restore in iTunes? It seems that the calendar is still on iCloud but I fear that the empty calendar on the phone will wipe that.
    Really makes this device slowly unusable and not good advertising to upgrade the hardware....

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
