TS2529 How to retrieve info from iPhone after an update deletes them

I just plugged an iPhone into iTunes for 1st time in over a year. Updated everything. Now my contacts, pics etc have gone. HELP

Restore the device from the backup created prior to the update.
FYI, never update a device or computer without first ensuring that a backup exists.
It is never a good idea to rely on a single device for storage of important things like pictures and contacts.
The iPhone is designed for the user to sync their contacts to a supported application on the comptuer, a cloud service, or an Exchange server.
The iPhone is not designed to be sole storage for photos/videos. Like with any digital camera, it is up to the user to copy these off to a computer regularly.
Going forward, use the device as designed and there will never be a concern about lost data.

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

How to retrieve info from a MacOs Standard floppy?

How can I retrieve information from a MacOs Standard formatted floppy disk on Snow Lion?
I have this collection of old floppy disks that were formatted as MacOs Standard format back in the days. They do hold some files which I'd like to backup on a backup drive.
But, Snow Lion does not read MacOs Standard formatted disks apparently.
So, does anyone know how to retrieve information from MacOs Standard formatted floppy disks?
Thank you!

This what I see in ML with my old SmartDisk VST (model# FDUSB-M) floppy drive:
Interesting observations:
1. I was able to add and remove files to the disk.
2. I was not able to erase the disk with Disk Utility. It returned an error.
3. Disk Utility did not offer the HFS+ format option, only FAT32 and ExFAT.
4. I could only find 1 floppy in my house so it could be partially defective.

How to clear open apps from Iphone after newest update

How do you close open apps after this newest update.

Thank You.....
Why they (apple) decided to change the way to close open apps WITHOUT letting us "other" users know (non iPhone 5 users, lol) is a mystery, but your information is correct. Thank you for saving my minutes

How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
1. InitialProposal Stage
2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
3. Rejection Stage
4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
5. Execution Stage
6. Completed Stage
Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1 if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you

How do you get pics back after you iPod deletes them?

I turned on my iPod today to show my cousin a photo I had taken of his baby. When it opened it said recovering photo library.. It had done that 1,000 times before so I didn't expect anything. After it finished I had 0 pics and 0 videos.. I know I didn't delete them because I hadn't even had my iPod it had been in my bag. I just really need to know because the pics that were on there were from the only time I got to see the baby before she had heart surgery. I cried for like 30 minutes because I have NO WAY of getting them back because my iPod wasn't backed up with iCloud and I had forgotten to put the pics on my computer. I just really need help. PLEASE HELP PLEASE!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The only thing left is a program like
Recover files from iPod Touch | Restore data iPod | iPod touch undelete, unformat
iPhone Recovery Stick - recover deleted text messages & more
However, no one has posted that they work and they cost money.
In the future, backup frequently.

I imported photos from iPhone and can't delete them

in iPhoto when I imported my photos into iphoto it gave me the option to delete the photos once imported. Now in Photos I no longer seem to have that option. In fact thee isn't even a trash can in iPhoto. How can I delete the photos from my iPhone that are already imported? I have 2 Gigs of photos and want to clear them off to make space, but I can't seem to find an option in Photos. What is going on?

Hmm, well I figured out how to get the option to delete photos on import back, you have to turn off iCloud Photo syncing. So to have iCloud Photo syncing on you can never delete photos from your phone? I thought the whole point of the iCloud Photo syncing was to keep all your photos online so you could access them where you wanted, but not have to take up space on your devices for your photos.
And now that I have figured this out I have to re-import my photos again and click the delete checkbox, but the best part is that it doesn't seem to work very well at all. It imported about half of the photos and not the other half, so I am having to import them again and then delete them.
Not only is this behavior not obvious, I really can't understand why the photos just stay on your iPhone if you have icloud sync on. I though the iCloud sync was to save space, not to keep them on your phone and in icloud. I just don't get what apple is trying to do here.

How to retrieve songs from iphone

My harddrive crashed and I installed a new one. When I installed Itunes it will not let me import the music that is saved thru itunes in my phone. How do I get the songs from my Iphone to my Itunes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since you gave the CDs away, you should delete all the songs from those CDs because you no longer hold a license for those songs. You are violating the copyright license.

How to retrieve info from a XP.diskimage file

I'm running XP on a SunPVI II card on a SunBlade 1500. One of the Windows system files is corrupt and I can't boot into Windows. I no longer trust this configuration so I'd like to either retrieve my files from the XP.diskimage od copy it to a PC and get the information that way.
So ar I'm having no luck finding ANY usable information regarding this problem but I'm really hoping someone here can help out.
Thanks in advance for any and all help

Another thing you can do is use dd to create an image of your driveSunPCI appears to keep it's own 1024 byte header at the start of the disk image, so this needs to be removed if the disk image is to be read on a PC.
e.g. the following copied a SunPCI III diskimage on a SunBlade 2000 to a USB SD card, which was readable when plugged into a PC:
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# dd if=2K.diskimage of=/tmp/2K.diskimage bs=1024 skip=1
3405780+0 records in

HELP - how to get photos from iphone after Telstra wiped it

Hi
I am asking this question on behalf of my sister. She had her second child last week and her husband took heaps of photos on his iphone from the birth and the first couple days in hospital, I'm not sure what model his iphone is but he only got it in the last couple months. On the weekend him and a mate mixed their phones up, his friend kept putting his pin code into my brother inlaws phone and by the time he reaised it wasn't his phone he had locked it up somehow (I don't have an iphone so I'm not sure about all of this!) They took it into the Telstra shop and they got the phone working again, but in the meantime it wiped all his contacts/photos etc that were stored on the phone. My sister was very upset as now they don't have any photos from when Charlie was born. The girl at the Telstra shop said they are gone forever and there is no way to get them back but I am hoping there is somehow - can anyone help us?
Thanks
Jade

Sounds like the girl at Telstra did a restore of the phone and then wipe out all the data on your bro-in-law phone.
Data could've been saved if your bro-in-law would've synced his phone to the computer he normally syncs too.
By doing the restore there is no way to get the data back from the phone. Sorry.

How can i re-import pics and videos from my iPhone after i have deleted them on my PC?

I imported all of my pictures and videos on to my PC into a folder. I accidently deleted the folder. So when i try to import everything again, it says iPhone has no new pictures or videos to import. How can I import everything again?
(I imported everything by right-clicking the iphone on 'My Computer' and clicking 'import pictures and videos').

To import photos on iPhone to computer, you can try these ways:
1. You can use iTunes to transfer the photos on iPhone to your computer. Install the latest iTunes and connect iPhone to the computer. Then, you'll see your device on the "Computer (disk)" list , click it, you can see all your pictures on the iPad and you can copy it to the PC.
2. If you have enable iCloud, you can see and copy/transfer the photos you took in the last 30 days on Windows iCloud panel which you have installed on your computer. However, there is an shortcoming that you can not import all photos.
3. Use a third-party tool.
Really hope one of them can help you. If you need more details, please let me know.

How to recover contacts from Iphone after reset without backup?

Hey guys.
Bad timing, bad luck and an annoying situation. My computer had a meltdown so all my data was wiped. Then my phone was on a continual boot logo with the apple screen. The computer is back, the iphone is back with new software. I have lost everything on the phone when it was reinstalling the software.
Is there a way of getting into the harddrive of the phone, getting the data (Really want contacts) and undeleting them? Hope it is possible but googling has left me with little hope
Cheers
Tom

I thought as much. I won't go into details but the hard drive with backup wasn't looked after by a friend and I haven't had time to buy another one yet. Such is life.
Dont even ask me why didn't I have backup of the hard drive or my head might explode!

I can't get my iphone to let me connect to itunes. It keeps teling me can not connnect to itunes. This is after I just updated it to the new 6.0

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
