Touch ID data deleted after crash

Something strange happened to me yesterday: I tried to call my wife with my iPhone 5S via Facetime from a store to show her something. The call went through but it only worked for 1 sec and then my phone crashed (btw: what's up with that? never happened before iOS 7. pilot friends tell me that there iPads crash in the air - not very good, not very safe and most of all not very Unix/Apple/iOS-like... what gives?). Anyway, the phone restarted - took forever btw - and came up directly to my homescreen (weird too as it never asked for a password or anything), I called my wife and Facetime worked as planned.
A few minutes later (after the call), I took my phone out again and tried to unlock it with Touch ID. Nothing! Not one finger worked. So I entered my password and checked the security settings and low and behold ALL of my fingerprints (5 in total) were gone. Completely erased as if the phone was reset to factory default. But only Touch ID, everything else worked perfectly.
I re-entered my fingerprints and now everything is back to normal, but what the **** happened there?
Anyone else with similar behavior?
It's nothing major but I think Apple should know about this. And it should take care of those random total phone crashes. How on earth can the whole phone crash all of sudden and not just the app???

Just had a very similar thing happen on my 5S with 7.0.4 a few minutes ago. I was coming down from the mountains and had the phone in airplane mode since there's no service in the canyon. Coming out, I turned off airplane mode and the phone continued to show no service when I knew it should have it. Toggled airplane mode a few more times and it still showed no service. Restarted it finally and it came up with signal but all of my TouchID finger data was gone. Very bizzare - TouchID is supposed to be a hardware thing, why are these software problems wiping the data?

  • All data deleted after upgrade to iOS8

    I am deeply sad. All data has been deleted after upgrade to iOS8.
    What I did:
    1. Connect ipad to PC to transfer records from voice recorder.
    2. iTunes offered to upgrade system.
    3. I confirmed.
    4. Some unknown error occured in the end of upgrade process.
    5. When iPad started, iOS8 was there. All data disappeared.
    6. I am sad. All valued data I need is lost... (no backup has been done before upgrade).
    Pls advice is it possible to get data back.

    Yes. I did backup.
    But don't know how to get it.
    Actualy, all I need is 2 records from Recorder programm. Before upgrade I downloaded records from itunes; screen → http://joxi.ru/caQdVIwyTJDKAjTtsuk
    Now it is empty, no records.
    I see that backup of this programm data available in storage. But don't know how to get it from there; screen → http://joxi.ru/taUdVP3JTJAaYtIkBaI
    By the way iTunes tells me that backup copies available for today only → http://joxi.ru/7KUdVP3JTJBAXfQZjgI

  • Data deleted after turning emulator off

    Hi Everybody,
    I developed a MIDP app that (among other things) stores a username and password, so you don't have to type them every time. This code was working fantastic, but I think I had a problem with the emulator. Yesterday morning, the username and pass were stored in the mobile emulator (DefaultColorPhone), no matter if I turned the emulator on and off, they kept stored anyway. Yesterday afternoon, while I was storing the user name and password, the computer went off. And since that moment, the username and password are not stored any longer after I turn the mobile off. If I start and exit the app (withouth turning off the emulator), the data is stored properly, but after I turn it off, the data disapears (store.getNumRecords() returns zero). I believe something got damaged, but I don't know how to fix it. I already deleted de db and create it again, but nothing changed.
    If I try my app with the DefaultGrayPhone or QwertyDevice, it works ok, the data keeps stored after a turn the mobile off, like the DefaultColorPhone used to work.
    Do you have an idea on how to solve this?

    If I try my app with the DefaultGrayPhone or QwertyDevice, it works ok, the data keeps stored after a turn the mobile off, like the DefaultColorPhone used to work.Looks like you're using WTK - right? When I had problems like you describe, I typically cleaned up appdb folder.
    appdb folder is usually located in WTK installation directory. In some versions it could be placed somewhere in "user documents" directory.
    Typically, I simply removed "DefaultColorPhone" subfolder of appdb. To be on a safer side, you better make a backup copy of this folder prior to its deletion.

  • Data deleted after backup

    Please help!
    I've had my ical & palm set up so the data on my ical is changed after I sync the palm. This has been working fine until today. After my weekly backup happened my calendar retrieved the data from the backup and changed my calendar, i.e deleted all my new entries since the last backup. I then tried to sync with the palm, and the new entries on the palm were also deleted.
    How do I get backup to take the data from ical and ical to take data from my palm?

    Sound like you're using a PC
    Look at Article HT1414
    Also, these are the locations where back ups are stored on a computer:
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    Restore the file from recycle bin and then see if you can locate the 7/30 backup per the above windows locations.

  • PARTIAL CONTACTS DATA DELETED AFTER SYNCING

    After syncing iphone 3gs with PC, noticed a portion of my data in the notes field in my Contacts is missing. I tried to re-sync twice and data is still missing. This has never happened before. Please advise.

    If your using a Mac then the contacts are saved in Address Book. Depending on how you sync the contacts regardless of whether they are created on your iphone or computer should dissapear when deleted.
    From memory in Windows there is a Contacts folder in your My Computer folder so i guess they would be saved there.
    I had exactly this issue a couple of weeks back - around the time I upgraded to OS4.
    I sync using mobileme and I when I connected up my iphone to itunes I ended up with a ton of old contacts back on my phone - some of which I deleted months ago and were never on my iphone in the first place (but were on address book)!
    I also know for a fact that those deleted contacts were not present in Address Book at the time of the iphone duplication so it couldnt have been because they were on AB but not on my iphone - so I have spent a while going through all my contacts and deleting the duplicate contacts of those I used and completely deleting up to 3 of each contacts i no longer use and deleted months ago!

  • Data recovery after crash disk

    Hello again,
    Last week I posted a question concerning the error message folowing the Hardware test.
    It was bad sign and I had to take my computer to the Apple service.
    The intern disk had to be replaced and they told me that they can't recover the date ( not in theyr shop)
    How works the data recovery once the disk is out of the computer ? Is there necessarily a "white room" process wich is very expensive ?
    Sorry for this, certainly, stupid question, but I'm not very good in computers ...
    Thank you again for your answers !
    Cheers
    Carmen

    Thank's for your answer.
    I know it is more than recomended to backup constantly.
    I did so until last february so all my data isn't lost, but for 4 month my external drive was turn off ( can't remember why I did this ) and just before the crash I started a backup wich didn't work ( or rather turned for at least 12 hours but , aparantly didn't save anything, if this is possible...)
    The question was , is there any way to rescue something without going bankrupt

  • Controller Assignments Deleted After Crash

    I know this topic was brushed on briefly in a previous thread a while back, but I haven't found any real working solutions to the issue.
    I have spent lots of time and labor programming complex assignments for multiple controllers in expert view of the controller assignments window for the various soft synths i use. And then they just get deleted if Logic crashes with no way of recalling them. This is extremely frustrating.
    I need these assignments to be permanently saved for the music I make.
    I know that backing up the library file described in the Control Surfaces Manual does nothing. I just can't believe there hasn't been a solution/bug fix to this issue. This can be a major issue for a lot of people.
    Any ideas?

    I've been bitten by this bug many times myself, so I've learned to keep a clean copy of the control surface prefs file on hand so I can just drag it back into place in case of a crash - takes a matter of seconds to be back up and running.
    Here's what you do. Set everything up the way you want, then quit Logic. Then create a copy of the control surface pref file and keep it somewhere safe. Next time Logic crashes, drag the copy (actually a copy of the copy!) back into your Prefs folder and you'll be good to go.
    The file you're looking for is called "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and it's in your [user] > Library > Preferences folder.
    Hope that helps!

  • How to undelete the data, deleted after revert to single disc

    There was just one drive in the media hub nmh405, so i have pressed revert to single disc without back up data before and  lost all data!
    Is there some options to restore the data?

    Hi zzitmanis,
    Too bad to hear that.
    Unfortunately, once you revert the disk to single disk mode, it will delete all the files in the drive because it will definitely reformat the drive. 

  • Data deleted after changing ID names

    Hi,
    I have been having some issues with replacing ID's. Basically, we will sometimes created a temp ID for forecasting, and then replace it with a permanent one when ID has been created in SAP.
    So the issue is that, sometimes, not always, when I am replacing an ID, and after I validate and process the dimension, all the data associated with that ID will be lost. So basically, I process first without a full process and wait for the new IDs to replace the old IDs on the spreadsheet, then I perform a full process.
    I have also, only performed a full process and the issue was still present. Again, this seems to be sporadic and I am not sure what I am doing to cause this.
    When changing the ID name, I am putting the new ID in the "New ID" property.
    Also, we are on BPC 5.1
    Thank you

    Dear Chris,
    You're right, I was have the same issue. When you put the new ID on property "NEW ID", the data will be transfer into the new ID and will be clear in the old ID.
    Thanks,
    Wandi Sutandi

  • Data deleted after software upgrade

    Help!  I connected my iphone 3 into itunes and accepted the software upgrade on offer.  I now have lost ALL data incuding precious photos.  Don't care about message threads or settings, but I do care about photos.  I have imported my contacts back in from my SIM card but am at a loss as to how this happened when I just selected the standard prompts to update software.  I am using another PC as my regular PC is not working, so cannot get photos off that from my last syncing.  Thanks

    Well, some info:
    Apple assumes that all photos in the Photo Library you also have on your computer and thus it's no problem if the sync/update process deletes them, because you can re-sync them from your computer just like you did in the first place. This is true of all photos, video, music, which Apple calls "media". The iPhone is NOT a backup.
    Syncing with a new computer offers a warning that it is going to delete all media from the phone and replace it with media from the new computer, at which point you should have canceled. You are only allowed to sync media from one computer at a time.
    Syncing with a new computer should have backed up your phone first, and that would include the photos in the Camera Roll, that you took with the phone; but NOT the photos in the Photo Library, that you synced to the phone. The backup should also include data saved within apps. So you might be able to Restore from Backup to get some stuff back, or use a third-party utility to pull your Camera Roll photos from the backup file on the computer. Assuming iTunes backed up first.
    Failing that, I don't think I've heard of any way to undo loss of media due to syncing with a new computer. You might ask google.

  • Data Error in the Query/Report after selective data deletion for infocube

    Hi Experts,
    Please advise what i was missing and what went wrong...
    I got a Query (Forecast) on a Multicube...which is based on 2 Infocubes with Aggregates...
    As i identified some data discrepency..yesteraday i performed selective data deleation on one of the Infocube
    and executed report yesteraday and the results in the query are correct...
    When today i executed the same report i am getting different results..
    When i compared the results of the report with that of data in cube they are not matching
    The report is not displaying the data in cube..for some rows it is displaying the data in the cube but for some rows it is just displaying same as the above row
    there is no data loaded into info cube after selective deleation
    Do i need to perform request compression and fill the aggregated after selective deleation
    Please advise what went wrong

    Hi Venkat,
    No i haven't done anything on aggregates before or after selective delete
    As there is not data load after the selective delete according to SAP Manual we don't need to perform any thing on aggregates...as selective data deletion on cube will delete data from aggregates as well
    Please update how to identify error

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.
