IPhone :: No More Contacts On 4 After Failed Backup Via ITunes While Updating The Device From 4.1 To 5.1.1?
Jul 5, 2012
The iTunes data on the computer my iPhone was firstly connected and configurated with has been deleted. I was looking for an opportunity to update my iPhone to the newest iOS software (since it was on 5.0) without erasing all the data saved on my mobile. But that time I did not know that all data will be erased when upgrading a device a complete version (like from 3.0 to 4.0 or 4.0 to 5.0) and then it happened. Several hundred business contacts of mine has been erased and cannot be reset. All functions except the phone/message contacts are unimportant now. MOST IMPORTANT: I connected my iPhone with a new MacBook, updated iTunes to 10.6.3 (current version) and synced my mobile with it. Data will be erased if updating on an unknown computer (for iOS device) where no data which are on my iPhone are saved. Unfortunately, the instructions at iTunes Support were helpless because during the important backup for resetting all datas has been interrupted with the following window: Backup not possible , There are not enough space on the iPhone left to finish the backup.
It has never continued and since then all data has been erased. I would be incredibly glad if anybody could give me at least a tip to do something.
I have been having a problem syncing my iphone 4s with my desktop mac. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. I had no problems syncing before and this is the first time I am encountering this. Error message reads, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
I know there are other software that may help to retrive the data but it doesn't work with encrypted backup.Now i have the password, i have the encrypted backup (failed to recover in itunes).What can i do? is it possible to remove the password from the encrypted backup provided that i have the password?
Lion's iTunes won't backup/sync to the iMac (late 2009 model, batch 2010) nor iCloud the almost 4 year old iPhone 3G's Address Book because it only has iOS 4.2.1. [iPhone's are well built (even the battery's still doing great after almost 4 years]Should I upgrade to the iPhone 5 this year, how then will I get to transfer my Address Book from this iPhone 3G to the iPhone 5 if iTune's nor iCloud won't back or sync it up now?
How to see the contacts from the backed up contacts from my Iphone to itunes. i do not have iphone with me now. can i sync to android phones? or is there any way i can login to itunes and search the contacts?
I lost my phone and needed to get a replacement. When I did, I started the activation process, but never got prompted to restore from iCloud, just from my last backup in iTunes. I've run the restoration, and the backup was pretty out of date. Is there a way to restore the backup I'd set up in iCloud at this point?
I had assumed i would be able to save/backup/restore the most important info on my cell like my text messages, phone contacts and ALL my photos in my photostream thru iTunes and NOT have to shell out $3.99US + taxes to be able to do so! The App Store has only 1 free app (out of a whopping 5) which, of course, i cannot use on my 6.1.6 iOS..
How can i backup my messages and contacts? How do I add more options from where I backup email contacts etc etc OTHER than just Microsoft programs? i.e. From Chrome or FireFox.
How do I save and access ALL my 600 pics from my phone when only 56 are listed to be able to be saved on iTunes? Would I be completely delusional to hope there is an app or software that could do a cross-platform transfer of my stuff to an Android phone....??Â
My iPhone4 will not sync with my computer, giving me the message "iTunes could not backup the iPhone "xxx..." because the backup session failed." I have looked at article TS2529 and followed the steps. My iPhone will sync and backup with another computer with the same version of iTunes, so the problem must be with my computer or iTunes. I have previously synced and backed up fine with this computer, so I suspect there is an issue with corruption of iTunes data files. Should I re-install iTunes, or is there a way to delete the data for my phone that iTunes holds and try syncing again?
Every day I get this message at the top of the screen stating:
"CONTACTS BACKUP" - network connection failed.
When I click it to get rid, it appears again the next day ..... I've been into the Contacts Menu and looked at Import/Export and More/Settings but I don't really know what to cancel or untick.
This may be beyond the scope of this forum, but is there a relatively painless way to get the contacts out of iTunes into my Photon? The iPhone died and without it, I can't figure out how to get the contacts to sync. Is it possible to plug in an ipod to get it to work? I've tried different methods that I found online but have been largely unsuccessful.
My N95 8GB reboots at the final stage of backup during settings. I have reset to factory settings but no change. My PC uses Windows 7 and I have latest software on my phone and PC. I would appreciate help please.
I have updated my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1 and I can't restore my backup files because when I try to restore my backup iTunes shows that the backup is corrupted or not compatible with the iPhone
When setting up my new iPhone 4s, should I restore from icloud or itunes backup? Or set up as a new iPhone? The phone number is staying the same from my iPhone 4.
I tried updating to IOS4 just now with iphone 3g, however in the middle of installation it comes up with error below:
Please help, iphone is stuck now on connect to itunes, only each time i conect it says iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, so i click restore and it comes up with that error in the picture each time.
I have iphone4s with iOS5.1, tried to upgrade to 8.1 but forgot to take a backup. Upgrade failed and ask to do a factory resotre and the iphone only shows "connect to iTunes icon"!. How to take a backup in this case or cancel the upgrade. Â It is very important to backup contacts, msgs and notes.Â
I tried to update my iPhone 6 to the latest iOS 8.1.2 but it failed for some reason. Now my iPhone won't update, restore or reset to factory settings... it is stuck in restore mode with the iTunes logo and cable showing in the screen and even when i tried to connect it to my laptop it doesnt show up on the itunes ( itunes cant feel it ) ....
Since the last windows update from this week windows cant detect my nexus 5. I tried everything. It keeps showing up like "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" And i doesn't show up immediately when i plug in the phone. It takes like 10 seconds, then it shows that with a yellow triangle.
This past week, my phone "fell" and the screen broke beyond all repair. And I'm not talking about a crack...I'm talking about a huge crack as well blue lines being displayed whenever I hit the home button. Other than that, the phone still works. It charges, it syncs, it vibrates when I get calls or messages but I can't see anything on the screen. I know that I can still unlock though. I managed to backup my pictures directly onto my Mac using iPhoto. Besides my pictures and Calendar dates, there wasn't much that I cared for within the actual phone.Â
I went to my local phone service provider place and they told me that since my phone was a 4S and was covered for damage, I could send it to Apple in exchange for a new phone. I already contacted them and received my new 5C. Now, I'm not really worried about the pictures because they're already in my computer; I'm worried about all the Calendar dates that are in my broken 4S. Yes, I did do a backup AFTER it fell so I have a backup ready. But the thing is that I do not wish to sync this onto my new 5C just for the calendar dates. Â
I have an old iPod 4th Generation that I'm willing to use to restore with the backup of my 4S but I don't know how to do that. I was hoping that I could apply the backup of my 4S onto my iPod and then manually enter all the dates that I needed onto my 5C.
I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes.
I needed to update my phone to the 5.1 before I did I sync it so I could get everything back. Before I hit update I made sure it said last sync with the date and time. I proceed to update and go to sync it so I get all my info back and now I'm getting an error message saying backup is corrupt and can't restore or something along that line. I can restore it to an older backup but not the one I need. There are some very important stuff I am now missing because its an older backup
I bought a new iphone 4s and try to connect it to my laptop, device driver installation failed. Previously i was having one ipone 4s which i gave it to my brother and now try to add the photos from the itunes. but i couldn't able to connect with laptop or the itunes at all.
