Recover contacts and pictures

I cannot get my phone to turn on. I need and want to recover my contacts and pictures from the phone. Is there anyway to do this?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Without the ability to power it up, no...well, not without spending lots of money on some recovery service that may or may not exist. Unless the information is on a Media Card, in which case you can remove it and use a PC card reader adapter to get those things (as long as you didn't have encryption active, of course).
So maybe instead we need to focus on getting your BB running again...please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

  • HT201272 i backed up my phone and lost my contacts and pictures. can i recover them?

    I backed up my phone and i lost my contacts and pictures. can they be recovered?

    You should be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  They should be in Outlook or whatever program you chose to sync your contacts.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    If you failed to do this, then it is all likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

    Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

  • Trying to download my pictures from vacation and my phone automatically reset to origional setting and I lost all my contacts and pictures.  Is there any way to restore my phone back to today's date.

    I just lost all my contacts and pictures from vacation trying to download them to my computer because my phone reset to my origional sitting.  Is there a way to reset my phone back to today date or recover my pictures?

    In short. No, you cannot unsync.  If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up. 
    Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there.  Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

  • Can I reset my iPhone to a different iTunes account without losing my contacts and pictures?  If so how?

    I am trying to Change my iTunes account can I do this without losing all my contacts and pictures?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

  • I lost my contacts and pictures when I synced up with my itunes account and it synced to my old apple id how do i get them back?

    I had contacts and pictures on my new iphone 4 from my old android. I went to sync my music and itunes account and it asked if I wanted to restore. I thought that it meant the music so i said yes. I lost all of my contacts and pictures and it set everything up from the old iphone/apple id that i used to have onto my phone. How do I get the pictures and contacts back?

    It also asked if I wanted to update my software and it did that too

  • When trying to photostream from iPhone 4 to iPad 2 I lost contacts and Pictures??

    I was trying to send photos from my iPhone 4 to iPad 2 and must of had done something wrong because all my contacts were lost and more importantly for me are pictures ( they were too deleted.) I tryed to back up but all I was able to get back were the contacts and pictures from 4 months ago when I synced in my iPhone to the computer. Is there a way to get back the contacts and pictures ????
    Please help !!

    Check with Sitecomm to be sure that the router is Bonjour compatible.

  • Nano and contacts and pictures

    hello,
    q.1 - i put the contacts on my nano - thourgh outlook - but now i want to delete a contact or two and don't know how.
    q.2 - ias stated i put contacts and pictures in my nano, but i can't see the "folder" when openning itunes (i guess it can't be seen threw it.
    q.3 - the instructions on this site say you can drag contacts and pictures but i don't kow how.
    thanx

    You need to remove them from the folder you are updating pictures from.
    If you want to stop updating all pictures, connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences when it appears in iTunes. Click the iPod tab. Click the photos tab under that. Uncheck synrhonize photos from. Click OK.
    I have my photo library organized on my computer, and didn't want to change it for the iPod. So, I created a folder called "iPod Pics." Under the photo preferences for the iPod, I told iTunes to sync from there. I just put in and remove photos that I want for my iPod there. This way, I don't need to edit the My Pictures folder just for my iPod.

  • How would I get my contacts and pictures onto my iPad air?

    I have tried to get my contacts and pictures on my iPad but that is not working and I can not purchase any music at all. Thank you

    Hi Skydiver119.
    Yes, I sync my music to my PC on iTunes.  Your instructions are exactly what I've read you are suppose to do but when I go to the info tab, there isn't a choice to sync from outlook.
    Under Sync Contacts it says;
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.  Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    Thanks again Skydiver119 for your help.
    If I don't hear anything else, I will try to export my contacts and email them to myself but I would think I would have to enter them manually that way, but I don't know.

    Please define "unlocked iphone 4". It is not clear what, exactly, you did or how it would have affected anything.
