What can I do to recover data from my iPhone 4s? The phone fail to come on again after the installation of the new iOS8. The phone is locked and I didn't make any backup before the updating installation. Inside I have very important info.
I Have problems with my iPhone 4s after the installation of the new iOS8, the phone doesn't want to switch on again. I need to recover some important data that I have inside the phone.

There isn't anything you can do to recover contents from iPhone 4s if you cannot get the iPhone to startup. Connect it to a wall outlet so you have a solid power source, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears. If the iPhone still will not startup, the next options to try will automatically erase your iPhone all of its contents.
The next step is to do a restore via the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 but again note that this erases the iPhone.
Thank you Landry, it is really a good experience to solve problem of iPhone Data Recovery!

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.
So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
The above comes from here:

HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?
Hello!
I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) . How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mariabackup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.
Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know... -
How do I download data from my iphone 4 to a pc ??
Are you actually trying to download or sync? You need to try and explain a little better what it is you are trying to do with the phone for someone to help. What data or what are you trying to do.

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.
You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source. -
Update wiped my libraries and didn't make a backup file, what now?
Using window 7 64bit
Ever since I moved to windows 7 itunes has given me nothing but problems. if I plugged in my ipod or iphone or any other USB device while itunes was open, the PC would either BOSD or completely lock up so you can't move the mouse, ctrlaltdel or anything. Because of this, it already wiped my phone once at the stage where the phone is rebooted during the update, I was thankfully able to restore a backup after a lot of work (which included downgrading itunes. it still freezes if anything is plugged in while itunes is open, but it let me restore and update the phone).
Because of that, I refused to update itunes for months. Today, I made the mistake of updating this POS software and guess what? It not only wiped my libraries, but it didn't make a backup I could restore to before it upgraded.
On the up side, it no longer crashes my PC if I attach or remove my phone with itunes open! Yay! but seeing as there are no library backups and it won't let me sync the **** thing because it's set to another library so it will only wipe it, making me lose all my important contacts & notes and apps and everything else, there's really no point to use itunes now, is there? I don't care about music libraries at this point, it's a huge hassle to redo it all, but if I can't sync my phone without losing everything I might as well just get another phone that doesn't put me through this every few months.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to get my files off my phone/transfer from the phone to the PC instead of doing a full wipe? itunes has to be the worst software I've ever used, and as a product analyst it's my job to work with really buggy software all day.Ever since I moved to windows 7 itunes has given me nothing but problems. if I plugged in my ipod or iphone or any other USB device while itunes was open, the PC would either BOSD or completely lock up so you can't move the mouse, ctrlaltdel or anything.
Let's start with trying to clear that one up.
What make and model of PC do you have? If it's a custom/home-built PC, what make and model of motherboard do you have?
(I want to check to see if it's got either an nVidia chipset or an Intel 5-series chipset.) -
Trying to Recover Data From Old Backup Exec Tapes
I have been tasked with recovering data from an old Windows XP machine with an HP C1537A DDS3 tape drive. The machine used Backup Exec to create the tapes. In trying to recover the data I constantly get an error that says the data on the tape is inconsistent. I tried to run the HP analysis utility but it said the error log of the drive was full and it would be necessary to do a firmware load to clear it. I therefore loaded the lastest firmware.
I ran the HP analysis utilities using one of the tapes as a scratch tape (to write over):
Test 'DDS Drive Assessment Test' started on device 'HP C1537A' at address '6/0.0.0'
Please reload your media. Do you wish to continue?
|__ Analysis Results
||__ DDS Drive Assessment Test version V08.11.2006
||__ Device Analysis for DDS Drives
||__ Firmware rev 'L411' is up-to-date for 'C1537A' as of Wed May 25 19:00:00 2005.
||__ You appear to have used tapes not designed for this drive.
||__ Please use tapes that are compatible with your product.
||__ Unsupported tapes have been inserted 6 times.
||__ You appear to be using very old tapes not designed for this drive.
||__ Non-MRS tapes tapes have been inserted 3 times.
||__ There were 9 rules checked.
||__ Testing has completed and no problems were found.
The tape that was used in the analysis was a maxlell HS-4/125s DDS3 tape -- the same type that was used to create the backup tapes.
Why does the drive think I am using "very old tapes not designed for this drive"? The tapes were witten to by this drive.
What is a "Non-MRS" tape?
The end results appears to be that "no problems were found" but Backup Exec reports that the tapes have inconsistent data.
Any suggestions on how to make the tapes readable by Backup Exec would be appreciated.
I am using Backup Exec 9.1 Rev 4691. Please do not suggest using a later version as this is the latest version that (1) will run on a Windows XP Pro box and (2) that supports the tape drive.Saberman,
Have you tried the Enterprise/Business forum for this? I doubt anyone here on the consumer section will be able to help you with Tape Storage.
Here is the link to the Tape section of the forum.

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

Hi there this is my first question here!
I connected my external hard drive originally formatted on PC on my new Macbook. The first time I connected it I could see all my files but today I connected it and after I couldn't see any file nor even on my pc appears as NO NAME with a different name and nothing on it. I think was reformatted, any help to recover all my data?
It's really important stuff for meIf the Apple Store couldn't get files off of the drive, it is unlikely that you will be able to. If you have backups, those would be the best way to go. You could also try booting up the computer and holding down T to boot into Target Disk Mode. Plug the broken computer into another one with FireWire and see if it works to recover data from external hard drive. If you can see it, try booting up the broken computer while holding down Option. Choose Recovery HD from the menu, then choose to Reinstall OS X.
It is unlikely that this will work, because I'm pretty sure that the Apple Store would have tried this. You could try using expensive software to get files off the drive, but it would be risky and the results might not be any good.

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?
Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?
An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
Thanks in advance!Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
and
I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums... -
