New OS 3gs wiped out contacts now only operate in Emergency Call mode

HELP!!! I installed the new OS on my 3gs last night. This morning I noticed all contacts wiped out. So I tried to do a restore and now I'm getting error messages in iTunes and my phone will ONLY operate in Emergency call mode. I need help PLEASE!!
thanks!

Unfortunately that's where the problem started I keep getting and unknown error everytime I try to Sync up. This keeps happening after I did the restore in iTunes. I've turned off the phone, logged out of itunes and I keep getting the same error about error -9812

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

BB Tour: Emergency Call Mode Only

This morning I accidentally selected the the option to make an emergency call rather than unlocking my phone via password. I immediately terminated the call, but have been unable to make/receive calls, browse the web, send text or email etc. I tried powering the phone on and off, removing the battery, and turning my network connections on and off (tried all several times) and nothing has worked. My phone has been like this for 6 hours now. A review of the BB guide stated the emergency call mode would disable once I made an outbound non emergency call, but his obviously didn't work. The other portion of the guide said the phone normally resets after a few minutes. Any ideas?

Here is some additional information if you are still unable to use your device.
If your BlackBerry® device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback Mode.
This mode enables the operator to call you back or determine your approximate location. Emergency
Callback Mode is active for five minutes or is canceled when you make a non-emergency call.
***Since you have already tried to make a non-emergency call, and it is still not disabling the emergency mode, try calling your voicemail box (*86 send) and go as far as checking your messages. This should disable the Emergency Callback Mode.
I hope this information helps.

You can run the 10.8.5 combo and 10.8.5 supplemental installers, instead of going through the frequently wonky App Store:
OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)

Update to os 4.2 on iPhone 3G crashed phone; wiped out Contacts and more

Is there ANY way to get my 'Contacts' back without reconstructing from scratch? Updated to iOS 4.2 on my 3G and it completely wiped-out my Contacts; Uninstalled almost all Apps; Removed Photos and Songs. Had done back-up & Sync just before doing 4.2 upgrade. Tried another Sync after the 4.2 install and got Apps & Songs back. Tried a complete reset/restore and got Apps, Songs & Photos but NO Contacts. Even the back-up on my computer seems to have been erased. It did leave the Phone's 'Favorites' but just the numbers; no names or other information. Also tried 'Import contacts from SIM' - program seemed to run but I could not find any 'Contacts' info anywhere. Any help? Any ideas? Thanks, D.

hi, has any one got any answers to this problem as it has happened to me, is there any where else the phone back info is stored other than library/mobile sync.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

My contacts now only shows names and no other info

I'm having trouble with developing my contacts. And now, on my iMac, my contacts book only shows names and no othe info unless I press edit. Then I can see phone numbers, etc.
What am I doing wrong?

The Flash will not likely be able to load the file from your harddrive if it is on the server... hopefully your browser would prevent any online file from being able to access files on your harddrive.
You will know if the file is dynamically loaded or not if you physically placed the flv contents into the Flash files (manual) or you just provide the name of the file for the Flash file to load (dynamic).

Tried to sync to new itunes and now my phone is stuck in emergency call mod

Okay, Ive tried for hours and need help! I tried to update my 3G to the new itunes. Since then doing so, im getting an error message that reads "We cannot complete your iTunes store request. The network connection times out." I trouble shooted and followed all the prompts it said to fix the issue, have unplugged and restarted, and now the only thing the stupid phone does is give me the "emergency call" screen! I set it to factory settings before downloading the new software.. Haven't seen another screen for hours! I'm getting frustrated.. Any thoughts? Someone? Please!!!

You should try to put the phone into Recovery Mode so that iTunes can restore it.
1. First, make sure that your computer has an active internet connection (you can open the iTunes Music Store and make sure you can navigate around as a way to check your internet connection).
2. Turn the phone off (hold the top button until the slider appears, then drag the slider).
3. Hold down the Home (round) button while you connect the USB cable to the iPhone. The USB cable should be connected directly to a good USB port on your computer, not on a USB hub, monitor, or keyboard.
4. Continue to hold the Home button down until the Recovery Mode screen appears (it looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/mhsje5 )
5. When you see that screen, release the Home button.
iTunes should tell you that it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode and that you must restore it.
iTunes will probably give you the option to set it up as a new phone or restore it from a backup. Choose setting it up as a new phone.

only compatible SUM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM care that came with iPhone or visit a supported Carriers store to receive a replacement SIM card.

Cant enter my passcode.. allow me only to make emergency call.. can anyone help me?

cant open my iphone..allow me only to make an emergency call.. can someone help me please?

Connect the iPhone to iTunes and restore. You can try a reset first by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that doesn't work, then restore is the next option.

Wont sync music and now the new update has wiped out my 2,000 contacts!!!

I'm done. I gave this Canadian company two chances. I'm going back to an iPhone!!! No help with these forums. Anyone interested in a BB - run away!!!! We should be able to sue for lost productivity!!!

Really? "No" help from these forums? I see you have 3 posts but only one is viewable (this one) so that means you posted something the moderators (who don't work for BB) removed, possibly because the posts didn't adhere to the terms and conditions of the site.
2000 contacts disappeared? I've had my Z10 for over a year and have never lost a contact but, then, I make backups (for local contacs) and sync my contacts with Exchange at work and Outlook.com for personal.
If you'd like to ask a question and get help there are people here who like to help. if you just want to just rant then don't expect much help. While most here can sympathize with you on lost data, there are thousands of posts here with either how-to's on making backups or links to those same how-to's. All of Sdgardne's posts (and there are tens of thousands) have links to how to set up and maintain backups.
Good luck with the iPhone.

Syncing only Music - is it possible without wiping out contacts on iPhone?

I have my iPhone synced with my laptop at home but since we're allowed to use iTunes at work, my library at work has become much larger and I'd like to transfer my music here onto my iPhone but I'm worried it will wipe out my contacts. My apps are already synced with iTunes at work, and I tried syncing the music but a message pops up that says "this phone is synced with another computer. Are you sure you want to erase the contents and replace it with the contents of this iTunes library?" so I hit cancel because that message somewhat worries me. I do not have any videos or photos or podcasts on the phone so I'm not worried about that but if I lose the contacts I have no way of getting some of them back since I've entered some of them directly into the phone in the past few months. Help!!

Contacts are not affected by the erase. In fact, unlike music, you can sync contacts/calendars with multiple computers.

HT201210 Help needed re wiped out contacts, messages etc on my iPhone 3GS

Whilst updating software in iTunes I got an error message which instructed me to restore software. The message said all content would be wiped but that I could get this back later. Can you please tell me how to do this. I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried looking at the support pages but cannot find the answer.

I was able to get photos to show up on the camera roll that look like they are missing. Here's how (taken from another thread.)
1- Download Iphone Explorer (does not need to be a jailbroken device) http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
2.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
3.) launch iphone explorer
4.) backup and then delete the following files:
     /Media/PhotoData/MISC/Info.plist
     /Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite (or /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite)
     /Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite (or /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite)
5.) reboot your iphone
After you reboot your device, windows will prompt if you wan to open your iphone on windows explorer as usual. After you open it, your photos are going to be there, just like it was before update.

Update wiped out contacts, etc.

I recently updated my iPod touch and my contacts, pictures, and apps disappeared. How do I get them back?

I've had the same problem, which I posted at <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2529384> Earlier, I tried to retrieve the lost iPhone Calendar data by doing a "restore from backup" in iTunes. First, iTunes restored the data, causing a retrieved Calendar alert to show up onscreen after the phone did a restart. But then, iTunes began syncing the phone again (something I didn't want &, as far as I knew, hadn't set iTunes to do!). Sure enough, when the new sync was complete, the restored iPhone Calendar data had been wiped again.
After this, I checked the backup list in iTunes Preferences: Devices & saw 2 backups listed. Mousing over them, showed they both had the same date & time info, but I guessed the one on the bottom of the list was probably the older version I wanted to restore. So I turned off everything I could in the iTunes iPhone Info page, checked to be sure that MobileMe syncing was off on my computer, then tried the "restore from backup" again--being careful to choose the 2nd backup on the drop down menu that appeared. After the restore, I waited for the phone to restart & was surprised to see iTunes announce that it was starting to sync the phone. To prevent this, I clicked the Eject button next to the phone in iTunes, then ripped the phone out of the USB cradle. This triggered a spinning beachball in iTunes, but the phone was fine, my lost Calendar data was restored, & iTunes eventually got over its sudden ejection trauma.
I'd still like to update iCal on my computer with the restored iPhone Calendar info. But, frankly, at this point I'm afraid to try anymore syncing. I've had so much trouble with my formerly indispensable iPhone since I updated to iOS 4 that I reluctantly switched to another brand of smart phone & now simply want to transfer data from my iPhone to the new device.

While updateing iphone 3gs, lost internet connection. now only option is to restore in itunes. I just want to finish update!

I was updating my iphone 3gs. I lost internet connection when my went to restart (I forgot I was using hotspot). Now when I connect my phone to finish, the only option it gives me is to restore. I don't want to do this. I have disconnected and restarted phone and macbook pro. Software is up to date. What can I do?

If the only option is giving is to restore or has a connect to itunes logo - then that is the only option you have. You may need to put it in forced recovery mode in order to restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US
Once restored you can restore from a backup or sign into icloud in order to recover any contacts, etc that you had on the phone previously. If you are still missing contacts, which is usually one of the most important things on a phone than make sure you have added any and all email accounts you previously had on the phone.
