IPhone :: Upgrade 3.1.2 To 5.1.1 Lost All Messages And Notes
Jun 1, 2012
I just upgraded an iphone 3gs from 3.1.2 to 5.1.1 and it properly updated the firmware then at the end tried to restore the data. While restoring it kept prompting me for a password which I don't have any setup so I pressed cancel and it started synchronizing but my messages and notes are not showing up! I'm particularly concerned because I checked the size of the backup and it's like 200 mb! that seems very small.Is there a way I can fix this so it sync back everything properly and otherwise how can I restore to my previous backup with the previous firmware?
I am new to iPhone but gather others have had issues in the past? Some of my notes got deleted - can I get them back and more importantly, how do I avoid this happening again?
I recently changed phone providers and at the same time upgraded from an Iphone 3 old provider to an Iphone 4 with the new provider. Same phone number- I had it trasnferred..
But 1- all my text messages are gone and 2 all my whats app chats are gone.
And yes, I backed up and synced my phone on Itunes before swapping.How can I get it back?
Since 4 days ago, suddenly I've missed almost all my notes, most of them, very important to me, maybe it happened after an Office for Mac actualization, particularly, an Outlook actualization.
I recently tried to backup my phone and many of my notes have been lost. The backup contains note from 2 years ago, notes from 6 months ago, as well as notes from 4 days ago, however most in between are lost. One in particular was created 1 year ago and has been updated periodically over the year but it is not in the backup even as a previous version. I have tried multiple 3rd party softwares aimed toward recovering deleted notes NOT in a backup, however nothing is recognizing any outside those that were backed up. Do I have any options to recover? One note in particular was VERY important to me.
I went to the Info Tab on iTunes and lost all my notes by syncing from laptop to iPhone! How do I get them back? I have some really important information there.
I lost important notes while syncing my iPhone on my MacBook Pro. I have synced before, and know that the notes on my phone migrate to the MacBook Pro. If I want them back on the phone, I had to drag them back to the phone. So I synced notes and there was an option as to whether to keep or delete notes that were synced; I am quite sure that I chose, "keep." Now, I am unable to find those valuable notes on either device. Ouch. Can you help? Is there a backup type of place to recover them?
Today I lost contacts, notes and reminders on my iPhone. I checked on my iCloud account and everything is there, then I checked iCloud settings on my iPhone and all options are off except for Find My iPhone. I did not turn on everything because I am worried that I could lose information on iCloud. How can I restore my contacts, notes and reminders to my iPhone from my iCloud account?
I had the same Notes on both my iPad and my iPhone. Some made on the iPad and some made on the iPhone. Now adter syncing in iTunes I seem to have lost all my iPad made notes on my iPhone. I still have both sets of Notes on my iPad.Also I added my MobileMe email address to the list of my email addresses I have in Mail on my iMac. My MobileMe emails were then sent to my iMac including all my notes backup both from my iPad and iPhone.So my Notes are not deleted or lost, just none of my iPad notes are now on my iPhone.Read the support BB's are now VERY confused what to do to restore my iPad Notes on my iPhone.On iPhone, I only seem to have: All Notes / On My iPhone / my MobileMe email address While on my iPad, I have: All Notes / From my Mac / my MobileMe email address My iPhone is 3GS. My iPad is a 2, both running the very latest iOS. Sync almost daily, never had this problem Think it occured when I added MobilMe to Mail on my iMac, but don't know for sure!
I lost my phone last night, although I tracked it on iCloud to my residence...though having turned the house upside down, I still can't find it. Therefore, I need to know whether I can rescue everything including notes and messages and have them on my Mac (MacBook Pro). The iPhone had iCloud on and synced notes and messages, but I can't seem to find it on the online iCloud server (if such a thing even exists). Does anyone know how to access this on the Mac?
After upgrading using PC Compantion (which was not an upgrade to Android 2.1) and restoring my backup I lost all my notes made with the notes application. Is there any way on retrieving back my valuble notes?
So I dropped my iphone 3gs in a lake and it wouldn't turn on for about three months so now that it has turned on I can't remember the passcode on it, I know you can restore it but I don't really want to do that as I have pictures and notes and messages I want to keep, is there anything I can do?? or is there anyway i can access my pictures and my notes and messages?
So, I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 7.1.2 and I have had this exact phone for a few months since I had it replaced by Apple. I have found a fault in the system: If I type too quickly in the Messages or Notes apps, they suddenly crash and completely delete whatever was being written. I now have to type extremely slowly in order to stop my phone from completely crashing.Â
I have read the official support page which told me to first make a backup from phone memory to memory card, take out the memory card, and THEN make the firmware update, put the memory card back in, and restore memory from card. I did all this and now all my business notes and all my business contacts are gone. Were they not stored in the 'phone memory'? Or did the website fail to say that notes and contacts will NOT be saved from phone memory to memory card when one performs the backup? And no, I don't use Windows, so I cannot synchronise contacts and notes and calendar. I have always made a backup from phone memory to card. Did I just find out that the people at Nokia are just a couple of mumbling amateurs who tell their clients to 'make a backup of the phone memory to memory card' and then fail to mention that some things are NOT backed up in this process? Suffice to say that I am very, very, extremely angry at Nokia now.
Under the previous OS version 4.6 , under MENU - APPLICATIONS - NOTES, I have a few text notes saved on my Bold 9000. After downloading and installing the new OS version 5, I seem to have lost all my Notes. Have I lost them all permanently, or are they located elsewhere I have not seen?
A friend have two iphones, a 4 and 4s. She has tried to transfure the data from the 4 to 4s using itunes, and this has been mostly sucessful. However, some of the text messages and notes have not been synced? Also, when i try and sync her 4 in its entirety, i.e not just notes and contacts, but music and movies aswell, it says it has been synced with another itunes library and do i want to erase the data.
Weird problem here, my Notes application cannot find the notes I've written, it's like they were auto-deleted. The first time it happened I thought maybe I exited without pressing done, thinking maybe that saves it. But it's happened to me several times. I write a note, press done, exit out of the program. Open up the program and the note is still there, but after a day or 2 it's just completely gone. I'm not even syncing it or anything. This is on a ip4 with 4.02 and no JB.
My iPhone syncs with my gmail contacts, but they were all lost during upgrade. In the gmail account settings, it no longer allows me to select contacts for syncing. Has anyone else experienced this?
I upgraded my iphone 4 to the 5.1 software yesterday evening. Following upgrade my calendar, notes and bookmarks were still there but many apps missing, all music gone and most crucially most of my contacts have disappeared although I still have lots of text messages (numbers appearing rather than name) and emails. I have contacts only where their name begins with an A !All backups have disappeared too. I connected to an old laptop and managed to retrieve apps and the music which I had syned from that laptop previously but still no sign of the contacts.
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1, problems following upgrade
Just upgraded wife's iPhone 3gs to latest IOS(5.1). After completion everything was good except all of her contacts were gone. I tried re-synching and nothing. I tried restoring and, I thought it had made a backup before the upgrade, but all backup copies were after the upgrade.
My iPhone 4s lost its bluetooth after upgrade, genius bar can't help?
Went into store and saw "genius" who spent an hour unable to fix problem. Changed phone (battery was getting hot) but no help.
looked at his Iphone 4s to sync it with mine but he could not tether his either. The upgrade has fixed some problem but knocked out bluetooth which can not connect to any of my equipment. Ipad, Iphone or coil for hearing aids.
