Software update deleted close to EVRYTHING from phone?

I installed the recent update on Sunday, and when my phone rebooted i noticed my lock screen was different. Upon unlocking my phone i saw that all of my screens were blank - no clock, no widgets, no apps...nothing. I immediately go to my messages inbox and see the same...nothing. Close to panic mode, i check my contacts...nothing. I ran the backup assistant to retrieve contacts, but even then not all came through for me. I had several VERY important "locked" messages that were also deleted and cannot be restored. Even my saved voicemails are gone. The even stranger part is that the majority of my downloaded aps. survived, but have been acting funny ever since. All of my settings are gone too, and I am having to start at square one for just about everything!
I know that this info is gone and never coming back, but what caused this to happen? Im fearful of relying on my phone to do what it is SUPPOSED to do in case this happens again. Several hours have been wasted already trying to gather the info needed from my messages & voicemails from people, i can not afford to keep a phone that doesnt work the way it was promised and the reason why i purchased in the first place, nor can i sit around crossing my fingers that this doesnt happen again. Any ideas or input to how this happened and how I can prevent it from happening again?

I also recently lost ALL my contacts and ALL of my messages!!!  I have ran back up assistant numerous time and it downloaded only half of the T's, V's, W's and Z contacts I had.  I go to the Backup Assistant website and it show I have 329 contacts and that they all have been synced to my phone.  I spent 25 minutes on the phone with Tech support only for him to put me on hold ALOT and tell me he has no idea what to do to fix it!!!  I am so frustrated!!!!!!  Any and ALL help will be tried and appreciated!!!  Soon.......

  • Iphone software update deleted my playlists on the phone and itunes

    When i installed the latest update to the iphone 3gs all of my playlists were wiped out. is there way to recover them? when i synched my phone with itunes it deleted the playlists there as well. i do have an ipod with the playlists still in tact.

    I had a very similar issue. Bought the 3G and tried to sync it with my Outlook (2002) and it deleted about 3 dozen calendar events. It seemed to be specifically recurring events, and I think they all had reminders. Not sure though - recreated them all, so let's see what happens.

  • I have lost my photos, safari and camera.  My grandson somehow delete camera and safari from phone and when I restored the photo's disappeared.  Can anyone help me?

    My grandson deleted Safari and camera from my iphone.  When trying to restore the icons it deleted all my photos from phone.  On top of this the computer I always used crashed and unable to recover them from there.  I think I might have saved the them on the icloud but have no clue how to restore from there.  Please some one help me!

    You can't delete Safari and Camera - the most you can do is to move the icons to a differents screen.
    If you have a backup of your iPhone, you can do a Restore from Backup. If you didn't have a backup, I'm afraid they're gone.
    For the future:
    Alway always always keep a backup, on iTunes (my prefernce) or in iCloud (more convenient for some). There is always a risk to anything that's only on the ihone

  • E71 How to delete e-mail headers from phone (IMAP ...

    I use IMAP e-mail, so all none deleted e-mails stay on the server and are accessable from anywhere.
    I have realised that I can't delete e-mail headers from the phone (I only want the last 7 days or so) . The delete options are: delete from Server and Phone, delete from phone - header remains.
    This means that I am building a huge list of headers and will be useing memory.
    Anyone found a way around this?
    Many thanks. Peter

    Nokia email client is not supported for my device (7610).
    Also, it seems, there is no way to delete the headers selectively. Normally, when you want to handle the emails through your mobile device, you want to keep only important ones and delete the rest. So, possibly, Nokia can consider this for the future updates of the software, where user can delete the headers selectively to keep the inbox uncluttered and only as per the requirement.

  • After running software update, iChat closes in error

    Hello!
    I just ran software update and iChat is now 4.0.5. However, the buddy list doesn't show and it does not log me into AIM. So, I opened Preferences and if I click on any tab except for Accounts, the program keeps running. But, if I click on accounts, iChat closes and wants to send an error report to Apple. Any ideas?

    Is Internet Sharing On in System Preferences > Sharing ?
    Some people are reporting that this seems to have reset itself.

  • After software update I can't drag from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    After software update I can't drag  songs from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!

  • Software Update 1.13.604 bricked my phone

    I took the new software update on Saturday the 24th, and have regretted it ever since.  My droid X is rebooting every 10 minutes or so and will eventually get to the point where it will shut off and I have to remove the battery just to power it on again.
    Yes, I've turned it off and on again.  Yes, I've done a factory reset, but the reset still leaves the broken software on the phone.  When I was activating the phone again the phone reset on me .  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?  Is it worth trying to get a new droid?  Can I activate my old LG Envy in the meantime?  Should I just go get an iphone?

    Yes, you can go back to your old phone.  Yes, it is worth the trouble to get a new one.  Yes, if you are impatient you should go to the iPhone.

  • Software Update Scan: Failed to populate from CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig instance, error 0x80004005

    Hey Guys,
    has anyone ever seen this error when scanning for Software Updates (scanagent.log)? It is happening on a remote management point/SUP which should get the updates from itself. Mpcontrol.log/wsusctrl.log are looking good and Package Distribution is working
    fine. Just the Software Updates do not work.
    The Windowsupdate.log is showing some errors too: WARNING: PTError: 0x80248014/WARNING: Initialization failed for Protocol Talker Context: 0x80248014 The other logs are looking good so far.
    We are already on SP1 but i think the error was there before. I just missed to check this before i upgraded. 
    What i already did:
    - reinstalled SCCM Client
    - repair WMI
    - reinstall SUP/MP role
    - reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0
    So any help is really appreciated.
    best regards
    Philipp

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • Leopard Software Update 1.3 stops iMac from sleeping

    I just applied the latest software update to Leopard (1.3) which is supposed to fix some freezing problems on 20 and 24 inch iMacs. I never had a freezing problem, but since applying this update, the sleep display feature does not work any more. Any attempt to sleep the Mac causes the hardware to sleep, but the monitor doesn't turn off. Whether I try using a hot spot to sleep the display or I go to the Apple menu and select sleep, the display refuses to turn off. (Interestingly, the OS is asleep, because the time in the upper right-hand corner does not change until I move the mouse and cause the computer to wake up).
    Has anyone else been experiencing this behavior? Is it possible to uninstall a software update? I think I might want to do this until Apple resolves this bug...

    I am having a similar problem. No matter what setting I have set up in system preferences, the display will go to screensaver and the hard drive shuts down afterwards. In tiger I would have the display go to sleep but keep the hard drive/computer still on. It is hard to overlook Leopards bugs.....

  • HT4623 The software update option is not on my phone.  It just goes from "about" to "usage".  I have an iPhone 3G.  Every time I try to update it on iTunes, nothing changes.  I have version 4.2.1, no matter what I do.  Any suggestions?

    I have an iPhone 3G, and cannot update my iOS.  In the General tab, "Upadate Software" is not even there.  It just goes from "About" to "Usage".  When I try to update on iTunes, it always remains the same.  iOS 4.2.1.  Any suggestions?  (My PC uses Windows XP).   Also, my WiFi has completely quit working.  Works fine on the other iPhones in the house, as well as the XBox 360, so I am sure it's my phone.  I tried everything I could think of, including restoring the iphone to factory settings & then updating, but no luck.  Thank you! for any help you can give!  I plan to get an iPhone 5, but wasn't ready to do it quite yet.  Hopefully my phone can be rescued until I'm ready.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.
