So I have the iPhone 4 and just updated iOS 8.1.2 on my phone using my computer, and now I can't find any pictures or messages from last Tuesday (1/6/15). How would I be able to get it all back?
I was trying to put more music on my phone, but iTunes said I had to update and restore my phone. The only reason why I update using my computer is because I use up too much space to update using wi-fi, and I'd rather not erase everything to be honest. I started around 5-ish on 1/12/15 and finished around 12-ish on 1/13/15. (I had to keep restarting my computer and phone to get the system update like the troubleshooting website suggested.)The last time I backed up my phone was about a week ago on 1/6/15. But now when I look at my text messages and pictures, everything ends at 1/6/15 as if I never used my phone since then. Honestly, it's really frustrating. I know that you have to back up your phone before updating and everything, but I just wanted to know if there was a way I can get all of my missing stuff back. Maybe I did something wrong?? I'm just hoping there's a way for me to get my pictures and messages back. I don't even really care about the update to be honest lol. Any suggestions would help!!
You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

QUESTIONS: I have an iphone 3gs.just updating to ios5. am at the stage where I chose to restore iphone via itunes. sync seems stuck at step 7 of 7: syncing artwork. Is this necessary and if not how do I get around it?
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

i have an iphone 4 just updated my iTunes and now i'm having troubles to sync my iPhone with iTunes... can anyone help me plz?
You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts anymore(the button edit doesn't exist anymore), is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?
That's exactly right. And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes). In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored. That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos. But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine! Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there. They will be safe there. -
i have ipod 4th gen, just updated ios 6, after all... i lost all of my photos, and i don't have any idea what to do to get my photos back, i have thousands photos at my ipod, pleeeaasseee... help me....
I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

I updated the software on my iphone 4 and now I can't find my pictures. Does anybody know where I can find them?
If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using. Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using. -
How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.
If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529 , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

I see my apps in itunes but not in my iphone, if just update ios, someone can help me?
I see my apps in itunes but not in my iphone, if just update ios, someone can help me?
When you go onto iTunes and you have plugged the device in it comes up at the top saying 'summary' 'info' etc if you press onto 'apps' does it show that they are ticked where it says sync apps? if not then tick it, sync it and hopefully that will help?
hope it does -

Meg81 error 214 indicates a download data validation error. This means that the update you downloaded became corrupted likely during the download process. I would recommend utilizing the suggestions listed in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html to attempt to improve the stability of your Internet connection.
You can also find information on how to review your download logs which may provide additional information regarding the failure of the download. -

I backed-up my iphone 3GS to my computer and now I can't find any of my music. I doesn't seem to be anywhere in itunes. Can anyone help me?
Backing up the iPhone to the computer won't transfer the music to it; to do that, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function. If you're looking for music already on the computer, search it for files with an extension of mp3, m4a, or m4p.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks
Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

I had to reinstall firefox and now i can't find any of my bookmarks.
i had to reinstall firefox because i had reset my computer and now i can't find any of my bookmarks. what do i do? i need most of those for college and i don't remember them. i have a windows 8.1 computer and i'm not super teck savvy. i need the answer in techno idiot terms. help!
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder named '''Old Firefox?'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.
