Restoring Iphone 5 erased all my recent texts
After purchasing snow leopard to update my MacBook in order to sync my new Iphone 5 to my computer, it erased all my recent text message till June of last year. Can I recover my recent texts? Need to be able to read some of the recent texts i have sent and can't find them anywher.
If you have a recent backup of your phone, then you can restore to that backup.
If you don't have a recent backup, then there is no way to get those text back.

IPhone has just randomly erased all of my texts messages,can I get them back?Ask your question.
iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?
You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message. -

i am the first owner of my iphone i erase all data and i am trying to open the phone but its does the same thing like the first photo and i cant find my first apple id because i have deleted the email i used for it because i maked a new one please help
Why do you need to access your email? To reset the password?
If you're trying to change the password, you don't need to go to your email. If you know the answers to your security questions, you can reset it without using an email, as explained in the first section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. If you don't, you can contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password. -
IPhone 4 "erase all content and settings"
Okay first off, I would really appreciate some real and thoughtful answers. So my friend so me his iPhone 4 from Verizon Wireless. It still has service that he pays for (but I give him money each month to pay for it) I gave him money for the service for this month, but I want to wipe the service early because I found out that he was tracking my location and calling me out when I tell him I'm somewhere so I can't hang out (When I tell him the truth, that I have plans or just don't want to go he threatens to kill himself) I paid for the phone and want to keep it but I don't want him to keep tracking me as I plan to finally discontinue this exhausting friendship afterward and would like to not be tracked. He does have this still registered with his mom's apple id with track my iPhone from when he had the phone. I guess my real question is, does using the erase all content and settings make MY iPhone completely unavailable to him (Including content and location or even know if I decide to sell it) If this works, I plan on creating my own apple ID to set it up with and paying for my own Verizon Wireless account. Any REAL help that actually has information that I would want would help. If you need any clarification just put it in your question and check back for my Additional Details. Thank you(: what about a jailbreak or unlock? And are you sure it doesn't get rid of the Verizon because I just tried it and it says "No Service" where "Verizon Wireless" usually is
Boot into recovery mode, connect it to iTunes and restore

I owned an iPhone 4s a year ago before I unfortunately lost it. I have since then bought the iPhone 5 but had not plugged it in to my computer yet to download any music. I plugged in my iPhone today to my laptop and my iTunes store stated that it registered that it was a new iPhone and asked if I wanted to restore or update my new iPhone with the information that was backed up on my old one. I chose yes, that I did want to restore the old information in to my new iPhone. However, now that I did that, my new iPhone does not have any of the contacts, texts or pictures that I had already on my new iPhone.
I desperately want my information back that was lost on my new iPhone when I updated the phone. Is there any way to get those pictures and information back? I logged in to my iCloud account and it still did not help get my pictures, contacts or texts back.BarnsleyMif wrote:
I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from. -
please someone help me!
You need to check if a back up was made of your new phone when the content that has now gone missing was on their.
Also if you used iCloud you could check if there was a back up made on there and it should have pictures from camera roll if they were on there when the back up was made. Also you could check photostream if you used it and see if the photos are on there aswel.
hope this helps -
I purchase iTunes Match. When I applied it to my iphone5, it erased my music library. Even when I restored my backup, the library was not there. I still have all of the music on my ipad2. I thought that iTunes Match would allow me to put my library of music on the new MacBook I purchased last week. What did I do wrong and how do I get the music onto my MacBook and back onto my iphone?
For iTunes Match to work, your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer.

My iPhone 3GS deleted all of my text messages. How do I get them back?
I sent a picture to my friend and my phone went blank for a few seconds. I turned it off for about an hour and when I turned it back on all my messages were erased. Could someone please help me try to get them back onto my phone?
Restore your iPhone from the backup on your computer. Any messages received or sent since the last time you synced/backed up will not be recoverable.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How to move new app to my iPhone without erasing all the others
Hi, I bought a new app for my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer, assuming I could move it to my iPhone. Now it seems that the only way I can get it onto the iPhone is to sync it, but I'm getting the warning that if I sync, it will remove all my other apps, which I bought directly from the phone. I don't want to lose all those apps. I tried just sliding the app over. How can I get the app onto my iPhone while leaving the other apps as they are?
OK, thanks. I really didn't know that. However, I have solved the problem of how to get the app I just purchased onto my iPhone. It turns out that when you go to buy it again, on the iPhone, you get a message saying you have already purchased that item, and asking if you want to download it again. So, I am able to get that app on my iPhone without purchasing it again. Now I will go through the apps I got from my daughter and see if I want them and when I get that figured out, I will sync, which will erase the ones she gave me, and then I'll purchase the ones I really want. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to update my wifes iphone5 to her macbook. The macbook already has her old iphone4s information. I would like to set up a new id for her so that I can keep all of the information on her phone and get rid of the old stuff on her macbook now. Is there an easy way to do this now. I have an account on my laptop and dont sync with my macbook so it doesnt really matter to me with my iphone5, but i would like to start fresh with hers. It seems like every time I go to sync it i get a message that there is already an account under that user name. Can i keep the same user name and start fresh with what is on her 5.
Dear Jody..jone5
Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..

HT1212 will restoring my device erase all my photos?
i forgot my ipads passcode and i know it needs to restore itself but i just want to know this
Yes it will. When you restore it will totally erase the device. But if you backup, as recommended, you can restore from the backup and the photos in the camera roll will be restored. If you don't backup, and you haven't imported the photos to your computer, then the photos are gone.
