Restore the iPhone from your backup.

Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

HT4539 My 3g iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with itunes, put icloud for ipad and iphone but didnt allow to sync with computor as not very techy!Thought if messed up it wouldnt effect computor! Now Phone not responding to icloud to collect da

My iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with my computor.
I have an pad with most info on, but not keen to sync with that incase that data gets lost!
I joined icloud but cannot retreive from there as its not accepting my icloud account! Help!
If I sync phone with ipad is it likely to work safely to retrieve info as both are apple devices?.

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers. Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared. Now just a phone number. What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

I recently updated my iphone and lost all my media and contacts as my computer did not save them how do i get them back

i recently updated my iphone and lost all my media as my computer did not have enough memory to restore and an error occured. How do i get them back.

Media and contacts are NOT part of the iPhone backup. Media should already be in your iTunes library and contacts should be in whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to. Just re-sync them to the phone.

HT1766 Restore failed and lost all data :(

hey there,
i recently tried to update my iphone to the newest version of iOS. i plugged into itunes, on my pc, and let the show start. after the download occured, and the back up happened, i was instructed that itunes was not the most current version. so i uninstalled itunes and installed the new version, as, for some reason, it wasnt happening automatically. after the new version was installed, needless to say, the old back up wasnt there. so i couldnt restore the phone to its most current back up. the new version of itunes that i downloaded did not restore the phone with all of its contacts and pictures... however, all of the apps that ive downloaded seem to still be in my itunes. i tried restoring the system to the time right before i uninstialled the old itunes... didnt happen. whats strange to me is that the phone update didnt happen until the new itunes was installed. at that point my phone still had all of its contacts. i might have restored to factory settings any suggestions of how to restore an old backup?

There should be no need to uninstall iTunes to install a new version, that may be the underlying issue.
Contacts should be synced to a supported app or cloud service, simply sync them back to the device.
Pictures taken with the device should be on the computer, simply sync them back.
Do the backup files actually exist on the computer? If they do not, there is nothing to restore.
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\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Iphone 4 Lost all Data after updating

Hi there..
i got headache reading everywhere to find a solution to my problem, and didn't find any useful tips so far, i haven't slept for the past 24 hours because of this..
last day i did an update to my itunes to the latest version, and upgraded my iphone, while doing that my iphone got an error that it couldn't be updated and got stuck on recovery mode, and itunes asked me to do a restore to factory sitting, which i did, but in the last few seconds it just shows an error message that it cant update, and i get error 10, so i did what the manual said and tried using another computer which fortunately worked..
so i return to my first computer and tried to restore my backup files, and then i faced another problem, there was not enough space on my hard drive, i kept moving files away, deleting others and trying again, and every time i try, it takes up more space and i end up with few Kb on the drive.. i didn't know what to do, and got confused i think i click on back up instead of sync at some point, and when i realized that i hurried and unplugged the USP from the iphone, and in that moment a 3GB worth of data disappeared from my hard drive (i think it was the data the ituens kept creating while restoring back up) and a new back up worth 5mb was created on my back up folder..
now what i have on my iphone are my contact list, and my notes ..
what i don't have is 6 months worth of pictures and videos taken from the iphone, and my apps that are worth around $40 - $50
i read that iphone sync your data before doing a full restore, and i found 3 files on my back up folder one is 902 mb, secound 1.06GB and the third is 508 MB the first two dating today's date on 8:03 AM, the last one is also today on 6:33 AM which was the time i unplugged my USP from my iphone (i think)
i'v downloaded a program called "iPhone Backup Extractor" and saw that these folders contain all contacts, 300+ calender stuff and some messages (which i totally don't care for)but the photos and videos are marked None T_T
the question i'm asking is, how can i restore those lost pictures and videos, since they are very important to me, and how can i get my apps back?? i'v tried going to app store and downloading Whatsapp which i bought before, but now it asks me to pay again
i have some apps that is worth $5 and $10 each, i wouldn't mind paying for $.99 app again, but i can't pay more for an already paid app for that much yet again!!
by the way I have a windows Xp which i'm using, the restore worked on a windows 7 laptop
Plz help me, i'm starting to have a stomachache because all of this other than my headache T_T
Message was edited by: Hschi

so i was playing around seeing if i can get the apps back, and after going through the payment process it recognized that i'v bought this already, so i was able to download my stuff back.. (should have figured this out already, since it was an online transaction)
Still want to recover my camera roll, and i was wondering if chat logs could be recovered too, such as for the whatsapp???

HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

I updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes. Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

Lost all data when updating to iOS 7. Help would be appreciated.

I forgot to back up my iPhone before updating to iOS 7, and lost all data. Are there any methods for restoring the data without iCloud or iTunes?

When you do get your phone set back up - USE ICLOUD TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!

If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

HT4901 By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back?

By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back? The help info, HT4901, was the closest info from the Help pages but it assumed we were already on icloud and had simply disconnected our calendar from icloud. Actually, we were simply trying to synch our devices by signing up with icloud for the first time, so it seems our calendar never had a chance to get uploaded. In any case, how do you reconnect / re-access a calendar on icloud?

If your calendar does not appear on icloud.com it never uploaded to iCloud. If it is no longer on your computer you would have to restore it from a backup source such as Time Machine to restore it.
