Lost everything while updating to iOs5

dont know what happened. everything is gone.

Try going to iphonbackupextractor.com
Download their application.
It searches out a previous backup stored on your computer.
You need to select a backup from prior to the iOS5 upgrade.
Then select the Expert mode and find the files you are looking for
Photos are in Medie folder / DCIM / 100APPLE when I tried it.
The freeware version only lets you extract 2 files at a fime. Register and buy the full version and you can probably extract all at the same time.
Good luck

Lost Everything after I downloaded iOS5

I just downloaded iOS5 on my iphone 4 and lost EVERYTHING!! I lost ALL my contacts, my apps, calendar, messages, pictures...EVERYTHING!!! I have tried to restore and everything I can think of dont know what to do. Someone help please! I had everything in my phone. I dont even know my doctors phone numbers or any appointments. I have NOTHING!!! how can I get back to before I updated?

If you contacts are limited to a group e-mail the following will restore to the all contact list:
Go to:
settings / mail, contacts, calanders /
Go into each mail account in to Contacts & make sure contacts option is OFF
by switching off the contacts in the mail accounts you original contacts list should be restored.

Connection lost problem while updating my Nokia As...

Dear All,
I face a connection lost problem while I am updating Nokia Asha 200 using Nokia Suite
I installed Nokia software too many times, and tried to repair it. Also, I used another USB cable, but the problem still happen
While it is installing the software, it suddenly stops and show connection lost to your phone.
When I try to restart and reconnect the USB cable, the problem still happen

Thanks in advance

Dear Farby
Thanks for your kind and quick reply.
please note that I tried again now, and when the messages for connection lost appears again, I waited for 5 minutes, and nothing happens
because it shows me to do steps, as follows :
1. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
2. restart your phone
3. reconnect the USB cable
4. Wait for the installation to continue.
and when I do these steps, the phone restarts in a test mode, all I see is a test mode message over its screen.
I believe that this is a fatal error which happens through the installation process and which leads to unsuccessful installation
I lost hope in updating the software of this phone, escaially I need to do so, because I face problems with these phone, which doing a hard reset even don't fix.
Thanks again, Farby ... for your help
Regards,

Lost everything after update!!!

heey, ive had my phone for about 10 months now and i decided to update it. i backed everything up on my PC and after it updated i had lost everything on my phone.
i found the backup finally but it wont let me open it.
I've re-added my contacts (most) and a fraction of my apps, but for some reason it doesnt have BLACKBERRY MAPS installed on it anymore.
i use it quite often as well, so any advice would be a great help.
Thanks before hand

You need to use Desktop Manager's restore feature and then use that backup file to restore to the device. What version of DM are you using?

Lost everything during update

while doing an update my phone dleted everything. is there anyway to get all my information back. my icloud or my backup plan on my computer will not work either.i have lost over 400 songs,900 pctures,and all my apps. is there anyway to retrieve all my information?

Media is never included in a backup, it should already be on the computer.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, a cloud service (like iCloud or Gmail), or an Exchange service. Have you failed to use the device as designed?
Apps should already be in the iTunes library on the computer or can be redownloaded from iTunes at any time.
Why are the backups not working? You've provided no details about what is actually happening.

Error while updating to iOS5 in backup section

Here is the warning message:
An error occured while backing up this iPhone (-43).
Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone
So does it mean that I will lose all my contacts, apps, notes, photo, song, and everything?

If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. If it's a different error then if you say what it is somebody might be able to help.

Error 1603 while updating from iOS5.0 to iOS5.1 on iPhone4

When restarted my computer and reconnects my iPhone, it now prompts saying that iPhone in recovery mode and I must restore before it can be used with iTunes. I am very sure there's 2 backup copies in my (default designated) computer folder, with one being dated 12Mar (the day of updating). I browsed the computer folder while waiting for the downloads in iTunes.
However the backup folder is now empty!! and I can't restore to any previous backup, and my phone cannot be turn on. The iTunes restore button asked if I wanted to restore to original factory settings. How could this happen?!! My Recycle bin has this item "iPhone3,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ipsw".
Please advise. How can I retreive my previous phone backup, or just return to iOS5.0.1 with its data prior to the 5.1?
Please help!! your kind assistance is muchly appreciated. thanks.

I have figured out. My bad. I searched at the wrong backup folder. Anyway, I just proceed with the restore and then when it completes, it will prompt to restore to previous backup. Apology for the inconvenience. Thanks all.

Lost photos while updating to iOS 5

First I updated itunes to 10.5, and then I downloaded and installed iOS5 on my iphone 4. Nothing was automatically synced before iOS5 installation, but itunes showed that it was backing up data. After installation, when itunes restored the backup, I realized that I'd lost all my photos, videos and some contacts. Is there any way I can get them back?

First things first, go to Settings > General > About. Look at photos. If it reads how many you originally had, they should be on your iPhone, just not showing up in the Photos app. This happened to me, it confused me very much, how could my Settings read that I had nearly 530 photos, but only about 150 actually show up? They were even in this tab called events, which disappeared when I did these two steps, which seem to have resolved my problem:
1) Sign into iCloud and turn on photo stream.
2) Power cycle the iPhone. (I think this is the step that actually resolved my problem)
Like I said above, I think step 2 is what actually resolved my problem, as with many iDevices, a simple power cycle seems to resolve many issues. From what I have read online, it seems that when iTunes restores your iPhone after the iOS5 update, it relocates your photos to a different folder, which will be found after a power cycle. Once your phone powers back on, go into the Photos app and check for your photos, they should be there and in the original order they were in before the update! I hope this helps you, good luck!

My phone got stuck while updating to IOS5/Restoring

I was trying to update my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software. I think I synched & moved everything to the library successfully. I'm not sure - I've never done it before. Then when there was the next dialog option on my screen, it asked if I wanted to do one thing or cancel. I cancelled. Obviously this was the wrong thing to do. The next thing I've had to do is "restore" my phone. I've been trying to do this since 10:30 central (before daylight time change) last night. It is stuck - nothing will change on the phone or on iTunes. I know I don't have a lot of details. I didn't expect any problems and I'm not familiar with the process otherwise I would have paid more attention to the prompts and the details. Of course, I tried this on a weekend and support is closed & I am stuck without my phone. Can somebody PLEASE help me? Thanks!!!
UPDATE: When I just unplugged my phone the error message says phone could not be restore due to unknown error (14)

While updating to IOS5.0.1, the itunes did not recognize the IPAD and stopped working

I was updating my IPAD, after backing the IPAD content, the iTune wrote a message "Preparing IPAD for update" and stuck for a while and I got
a message on my computer USB device not recognized and stuck. I tried many time on different computer with different genuine Apple cables
but failed. And I got this picture above. Is there a solution, and I read couple of similar complaints?

I did not get any reply but I am working on the problem, so this may help, so read this first:
Go to Device Manager and you have a listing of all your hardware components
Plug in your iPhone. Now you will see 2 listings that say something like "Apple Recovery" Mode in YELLOW, right-click, then click "uninstall", you need to do this to both, they should disappear now.
Next, you will expand the "Universal Serial Bus Adapters" at the bottom, which will give you a long listing, and look for the USB related devices. Look for "USB Composite Device" in this listing.
This is the tricky part because everybody is going to have different hardware from different manufacturers and the listing is going to be called something different but if you can figure out which are your USB ports then you are in business!
You will see 2 "USB Composite Device" choose the first one and right-click the "USB Composite Device" and click "Update Driver" Choose " Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next on the next screen choose "Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install" and click Next and you will see 2 drivers listed and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) "and install. If you don't see 2 drivers listed then CANCEL and choose the second "USB Composite Device" and follow the above instructions and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) " to install. It should work now perfectly.
Let me know if it works for you. Thanks!;)
But I found the iboot driver,you get it like that:
Select the USB Composite device and update the driver manually, use the "Have Disk" Button and browse to the \Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers, and select the iboot version
It worked and IPAD is connected
I am still working on it wish me luck

Lost photos while updating os

I have an iphone 3G and updated the operating system to ios 6.1.3 through the itune site. I lost all of my photos and did not have icloud with the old os. Is there a way to retrieve the old photos?

Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported to the computer just like any digital camera. If you performed a backup prior to the update, you should be able to restore to that backup, and the photos should be there. If you did not do a backup prior to the update, the photos are gone.
