Please Help, Restored iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, Lost Photos, Messages and Whatsapp Chats

Hi There,
I hope someone can help me with this, the stuff I've lost is so important to me it's actually scary. I can't beleive this has happened.
I last synced my iPhone 4s on the 29th August, there's been nothing majorly important put on since then so I can cope with losing the stuff that was saved in the interim.
Anyway, over the last few days when I connected the phone to iTunes i got an error message saying iTunes can't recognise the iPhone. Restore the iPhone in order to rectify this. So i downloaded iOS 5.1.1.
Then Last night i did restore the phone and install the new iOS... The restore went ok, but when it came to sync the phone from my last sync on the 29/08/2012 it said the sync could not be saved to the phone??? The phone had the correct contacts, music etc...but no photos... The Camera Roll has disappeared, all my previous SMS/iMessages and my conversations in Whatapp, my call history, my reminders in my Calendar, my Stocks, the cities I've listed in my Weather App.... you get the idea!
So at this point I restored the phone again and the same thing happened, however when I got the error message saying that the sync couldn't be saved to the phone then I tried again, and it synced successfully, but I think it's to this new "version/state" of the phone... So now my most recent sync for the phone was on the 12th August and all the photos, messages etc were missing when it went through...
How can I get my original stuff back? There were hundreds of photos on there that are of huge importance and I'm gutted at the thought of losing them.
Any Help would be hugely appreciated guys. I'm at a dead end here...
Cheers,
Seány

Also, my email accounts no longer show up in my Mail App.

    Create a new AppleID on a different iOS device or on a computer. You will
    then be able to use that newly created AppleID on your iPhone.

  • I have updated my iPhone 4 for the first time in about a year. I had synced it so my photos should be safe but it's now telling me I have to restore. I'm worried I will lose my messages and whatsapp videos as I have a pc so these aren't saved elsewhere

    Restore from backup and everything will be exactly as it was when the backup was created.
    Restore as new and the device will be as if it just came out of the box.

  • Please Help - restore iphone from old backup

    Dear Applers,
    i got very complectated case,
    i use Apple iPhone 3G (3.1.3) & Mac Book Pro (iTunes 10)
    i took backup for my phone at 12 pm, at 5 pm i deleted my messages by accident and when i connected my mobile to the computer to get back my things the computer automaticilty synced my mobile and took a new backup at 5 pm.
    when i right click > restore, the computer show me that the last backup is at 5pm which is i dont want because it doesnt have my data, i want to be able to restore from the backup that i took earlier that day.
    i tried to go to Users/ Library / Application Support / Mobile Backup and i found that my old files still their beside the new files
    i tried to delete my new backup files from this directory so that way it take the backup before it. it didnt work .. it just deleted every thing
    i really dont know what to do i feel like my data is here but i cant access it
    Please Help,
    Thanks

    To be able to read the content of those files inside the backup folder, you'll have to use special software like "backup extractor"  http://supercrazyawesome.com/ for example. But don't use the original folder to test, copy it to another place on your HD and use this copy to try.
    Some files are not replaced when a backup is made, only files that changed in data are replaced, as far as I know.

  • IPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2 lost cellular service and TouchID

    Updated my iPhone 6 from iOS 8.0 to 8.0.2 and immediately I'd gotten the same issues which iOS 8.0.1 is having. Lost of cellular services and TouchID does not work.
    I have thus reinstall my phone back to IOS 8.0 and by the way, I'm situated in Singapore. Hopefully Apple can thoroughly QA the firmware for individual region before releasing worldwide.

    I have the exact same issue.  iOS downloaded the update for me and gave me the badge notification that it was ready for install.  I installed it at 1100 central time (I am in the US) on 26 Sep.  Will revert back to iOS 8 when I get to a computer with iTunes.

  • I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

  • HT4623 Please help me to update iOS 7.0.3

    Please help me to update iOS 7.0.3

    Read though the article you referenced to find out how to update to the latest iOS level (which is now iOS 7.0.4)
    See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. You can contact iTunes support via this page and ask them why the message is appearing : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I have been using GRAB to capture screen displays.  It has just stopped working since the last OSX Upgrade.  Can anyone, please help restore functionality?

    Thanks for that.  I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work.  Another  com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
    I now have the following files in Library
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist.lockfile

    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.plist.lockf ile
    What do you suggest I do now?
