IPhone :: Get Photos / Data Off 3gs Before Restoring?
Mar 23, 2012
How do I save photos before restoring Iphone 3gs? Phone crashed, wants me to restore via i tunes. I have no backup so believe restore process will delete all my photos. I promise to back up in future.
Info:iPhone 3GS, iOS 3.1.3, believe operating system is 3...
I bought a new iPhone4S. I took around 1.000 pictures with it right off the box. When I went on syncing it for the first time I restored the data from my old iPhone3G instead of creating a 'new phone' and now it doesn't show any of the new pictures I took on the iPhone4S.
Can that be reversed so the new photos are recovered?
I just changed my old iPhone 4 to iPhone 4s. I made back up regularly so I had no problems in retrieving my contacts and applications but I can't restore my photos/videos. I don't think I made the back up for this because I don't know how. I did transfer the photos/videos manually to my computer (without using iTunes) but I don't know how to restore them to my new iPhone. I've searched for this topic and found several discussions but I don't think I understand. Someone said that I should look under 'Device' and see what's there. When I connect my iPhone to my PC and iTunes comes up, on the left window under 'Device' there are 'Music', 'Movies', and 'TV Shows', but no 'Photos'.
I don't lost my photos, they're there in my computer, in a folder that I created for the back up. It's just I don't know how to send them back.

I had not backed up my phone in several years and was unfamiliar with the process. I opened Itunes and connected my iphone. I hit restore phone instead of backup. Not smart.

My iPhone 4 shipped, yay! This is my first iPhone upgrade and have never needed to restore the backup from my 3g to a new phone. So my question is. I have my new IP4 shipping to my house but I sync with iTunes on my work computer.
Can I activate my new IP4 on iTunes on my home PC in the evening when I get home to my shiny new phone and then restore all my settings, data and apps from my work PC iTunes the next morning at work? Or do I need to just wait until I get to work to activate the new phone?

How do I restore my password keeper data from a backup. The backup shows data being stored but it is greyed out not allowing me to restore it to my BlackBerry Storm2 9550. I recently wiped my phone rejoined my new enterprize server and now tried to restore all my data. Contacts, messages, etc all restored, but I did not get my password keeper data. Why would it back it up if I can't restore it? Even if I could read the data in the backup
Now trying to use Blackberry Protect to restore my contacts list and then want to restore Applictions I had paid for. Any idea how to do this? The BB Protect 'help' says select RESTORE DATA but I cannot see this option, only the option to backup or achive. I suspect this maybe to do with the two different PINS for my device but dont know how to tell it that I have same number, same SIM but different BB i.d.

I updated the firmware of my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 yesterday. After the update, I noticed that I have lost all of my contacts on the phone, so I plugged it back in to the computer and went with "Restore from backup", which was dated just a few hours prior to updating the firmware.
After it finished restoring, my contacts were all back but half of my apps are missing. I tried redownloading from the App Store as well as syncing from the computer, but the data (game saves, etc) are still missing. How do I get them back?

Is restoring data easy after updating to Belle from Anna?Ideas for restoration strategies? Former Psion 3a-5-5mx & Psion netbook (Symbian) user who had an E63, E71Now an E7 casualty remembering the 8 replacement Nokia Orange (or was that Lemon?) 2140's I had in 1996.
Verizon Samsung S5 with Kit Kat and want to update to the latest Lollipop. The question is about restoring all the apps and data after a factory reset after the upgrade.
1. I have moved a lot of programs to the SD card- do I need to move them back to Device Memory? 2. If I sign in with my Google account after the Factory Reset after the OS upgrade, will all the apps automatically be restored/installed? 3. I have the Google backup set automatically and restore automatically- will the data and settings be restored as the apps are restored once I log into my Google account? 4. What about all my internet email accounts (Comcast, GMail, etc.)- will they automatically be restored for the messages that are on the S5 and automatically connected to the accounts or do I have to reset these up again? 5. The S5 is also my work email, which is an Exchange Server- will the Factory Reset mean that my IT dept. needs to reestablish the connection between the S5 and the Exchange Server or will that happen automatically (if emails are part of the automatic restore?) 6. I have Keis 3 installed on my computer- should I use this as a backup and restore instead of relying on the automatic Google backup and restore?

I have just transferred data to an SD card -which I have done before with no problems- only this time it decided to move most of my apps which I have had to re install as I couldnt access them and it has moved photos which I now cannot find.
How do I find the photos as they are not in my album? Or has it wiped them completely? If i hadnt just uploaded them to facebook I would have lost them.
The icons for messenger, ebay and instagram are now not the actual icons and are just file icon. Its made a complete mess of my everything on my phone and I need the photos as i use many of them as visuals for business. How can I find where they are stored and can i transfer them back to internal storage from the sd card?
