Please help - iphone 5 has deleted everything on update..
Apologies if this has been posted before...i saw a couple of other posts with similar problems but mines slightly different
My girlfriend went to update her iphone 5 as normal. When she did this, it popped up with a screen showing the itunes logo and the charger wire connecting to it, basically asking to be connected to itunes.
So she plugged it into my macbook (she doesn't have her own) and it asked to restore it but then said everything (contacts, texts, pictures) etc would be put back on, so we went ahead with it.
After an hour of this processing and doing something a few times with no options for us to click anything apart from continue, my girlfriends phone is now as if new - no contats, no numbers, no texts, no photo's, no nothing.
She tried to log into her instagram account which one of the very few apps left on there and it said it needed an upgrade. So she tried to upgrade that and it shows my appleid (from my itunes/ macbook etc) so she can't download it.
On itunes the only back ups available are ones from the day when she bought it, so hence why they have been reset to having nothing on her phone.
Apologies for the long winded message, but any help any one can give will be great appreciated.
Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

Hi i have had my iphone 4 for 18 months i have plugged it into charge and left it as i usually do, there was a huge bang and a flash and the plug and phone flew across the room. th eplug had snapped in half and was black.
my phone is not responding to anything it just keeps on vibrating and is that hot i can not touch it. im with vodafone i rang them and they said try and put it outside to cool it down and switch it off.
funny answer considering i told him it had just blown up! im really worried and dont know what else to do or who to contact. can anyone help me? and will my phone be insured as i dont have insurance on my phone at all they wanted an extra £20.00 a months for insurance! i could buy a new phone for that!
please help any feedback is welcome. thanks
SamAs I see it, you have two options...
Buy a new phone.
Take your iP4 to Apple and see what they say but don't expect anything since it's out of warranty. -

is there anyway you can get onto her files and have a look at what has happened? Would really like some answers!
if not, Would like to speak to someone higher up that can.
As far as you know, I'm just some guy who buys and sells used tires just off the interstate so no, I can't "get onto her files." Since I'm my own boss, there is no one higher up than me either,
No one can do that other than she. That's what makes them her files. -

After updating to ISO6, my email sending get extremely slow or dispeard. on the botton line of mail page always indicate "sending # of 9", however I do not know where to check or delete these unsent items. Please help! It has consumed lots of data.
I use @me.com and @hotmail.comHi,
>>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
Ok, but on the other hands:
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table x (name char(10), name2 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into x values ('hello','hello');
1 row created.

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back?
Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes?
Thank you,
SusanHad you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.
You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
Hope that helps -

one of my friend updated her iPhone with my apple id and now her contacts are inside my iPhone , she has deleted my contact which has been i her contact , how can i bring back my contact ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone. -

How to free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have?
How can I free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have, which isn't much? And if I delete things off of my phone, am I going to ever get them back?
The easiest way is to connect to iTunes and update from there. Or, yes, you will have to delete a few of your largest programs, download & update to iOS7 and then re-download those programs you deleted.
