I recently had my new iPhone 3GS sent away and replaced for a new phone as parts went faulty in the previous. I have now had this phone for 2months and it wasn't until today I decided to put on music on my new iPhone. However, when I plugged my iPhone into the computer it automatically rebooted old data from the previous phone, into my new one... In the process I lost all new contacts an family holiday photos I have taken on this phone.Is it possible to get the data back and how would I do so?
While backing up my 3g IPhone it said that my "encryted local backup" info needed a password in order to be unlocked.I do not remember ever setting a password for this and so do not know the password.Are my contacts included in my "local back up"?Is ther any way to save 20 years of business contacts and transfer them to my new 3gs IPhone if i am not able to "unlock" them with a password off of my old 3g iPhone?

I got my iPhone this christmas and never registered on my computer until today.I have an iPod touch which is registered to the same computer which I keep all my music on.When I was setting up my phone on my computer when I lost EVERYTHING! I hit restore from Katie Hunt's Ipod touch, which I thought would only transfer my music over.But it transfered all the stuff on my iPod to my phone and earsed everything in my phone. I lost all my contacts, pictures, videos, notes, and ringtones. I really want all of my stuff back before I restored it.I called apple and they wanted to charge me 60 dollars since my free 90 days of tech support were up.The man told me to search the internet, for my problem because he said this has happened before but wouldnt tell me how to fix it.
I need to upgrade my late husband's iPhone iOS because some apps are no longer working with the iOS version.The last upgrade was done in 2010, to v4.1. My problem is that I do not want to risk losing anything on this iPhone, for sentimental reasons.I have transferred purchased items through iTunes to keep all the apps.Can someone please walk me through the steps required to make sure I lose no information presently on the iPhone when I upgrade? I want to make sure the text messages, photos (camera roll and albums) and contacts are intact.Calendar is not necessary. I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out but I'm really paranoid about losing anything this time.
While running a normal back-up and update on iTunes, I revieved an error message saying that my iPhone needed to be restored. All my iPhone information in ITunes is completely gone. My phone will not turn on and ITunes is giving me a message saying that my phone is in recovery mode. How can this happen while doing a simple back-up?
Over the last couple of months there have been some issues with 3rd party app developers uploading contact information, e.g.[URL]I've been a bit nervous about using my address book since then - as well as for contacts I use it as a database for all sorts of information,some of it highly confidential.are contacts now safe to use, or can 3rd party developers still get full access without my consent?
My old iPhone 4s got stolen but was backed up by iTunes. I bought a new one today and when it asked me if I wanted to restore information from another iPhone onto my new one, I accidently restored my brothers iPhone onto mine rather than mine. I was wondering if there is a way to undo this restoration and go back so that I can restore all of my old information onto my new phone instead of his?
My girlfriend thought her iPhone was stolen today, so she did a remote wipe so no one could steal her information off her phone. It ended up that she had just left her iPhone someplace and was able to get it back. Now that she's got the phone back, she's trying to restore it, but it looks like the iPhone was set to back up to iCloud, but never did because of an error (she had no idea she was getting), and it seems that since it was set up to back up to iCloud, the last iTunes backup was from before she got her iPhone 4s (so it's 5 months old). Is there anyway to pull information off of an iPhone after it's been remote wiped? I have a program for pulling information off of digital camera memory cards that have been formatted. Is there something like this for iPhones?

iPhone Spy Stick which can get your deleted personal information easily. The folks at BrickHouse Security have released a USB dongle that connects to an iPhone and downloads all of the information stored on the device, including deleted files.
I took my phone into apple today as it was broken, I was still under warrenty so knew i would be given a new handset so ensured i backed all my pictures and contacts on itunes. I have got home and spent all night trying to put everything back onto my new phone, but my pictures and contacts don't seem to be there. Instead it added all the pictures off my laptop and not from my previous handset I'm not bothered about my contacts but there are some pictures that i would be really upset to lose of my nephew.

I intend to sell my iPhone and would like to know how to disassociate it from my apple ID and also how to remove all personal information from the device before I transfer it to the new owner.Is resetting it to factory setting helpful? Also, is there a way to protect my privacy before sending the device to the lab for fixing? Or do I need to manually remove all email accounts and personal apps?
