IPhone :: Keep App Folders Intact When Restore The 4S?
Mar 18, 2012
I have over 1000 apps. I have them neatly packaged in folders of 12 on my iPhone 4S. When I do a restore (which it seems I have to do, as per Apple Support, three times so far in order to resolve my problems). Each time I do, I lose my folders so that I have to go back and "package" my "1000 plus" apps all over again. Is there any way I can restore the iPhone 4S so that my folders of 12 apps each remain intact?
I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1, Windows Ultimate 64 bit
I have thousands of messages (SMS, Bluetooth, etc.) sorted and stored in a folder tree in "My folders" on my E71-1 (somewhat like Outlook).I tried exporting as CSV file (using Best MessageStorer), but then I could not figure out how to import the messages in the CSV file (Noki Gems crashes). In addition, only text and html are exported leaving out all the Bluetooth messages! Is there a way to backup and restore these (like Outlook)?
A few photos each day will suddenly slowly disappear. The photo's thumbnail remains intact, but the photo itself will just show a partial block of the image with the rest just gray, or odd lines. It began with photos on the internal storage, so I moved them to the external sd card, and it happens there as well. I've tried other gallery apps and sending them to the computer, but it appears they are permanently corrupted. (Other than the easy response of factory reset)
Basically on E72, I had messages in inbox, my folders and sent section. Once I restarted phone and then phone froze. I felt the problem was due to Vlingo application, because I pressed home button to see which applications were open that were casuing the freezing. So I restarted the phone and all messages were deleted. However my messages were saved as a backup on another memory card. So I only lost a couple of texts. But the same, exactly same problem happened yesterday. Now all texts on both memory cards have been deleted. I have now disabled vlingo to open on start up.
1. The only backup I have now is a pc suite backup of texts, as an .nbu file which I can restore using pc suite or ovi suite. However after I restore, the messaging application does not open and I have to restart phone. Also the texts inside "my folder" do not appear, only in my inbox and sent. Is there any way, of getting all the texts to appear including my folder texts?
2. Obviously the above solution doesnt give me all my texts back, so is there any chance of restoring the texts, from the memory cards even though it doesnt work when I insert it inside the E72. Im hoping by restoring old data inside the memory card by opening it on the laptop or something?
3. I heard, that texts do not get deleted at all, but just blocked, so anyone know if I can unblock them?
4. Or can my network provider send me texts, that I have recieved and sent over last couple of months.
I switched iphones today with a friend of mine. I made sure that I had backed up everything to my computer AND iCloud before doing the trade. Did it, everything set up fine. Restored through iTunes and then turned on. I still had my email, texts, call logs, contacts and notes. But all my apps and songs are gone. How do i get them back?
I'm planning to restore my iPhone while updating to iOS 4 since I've bee using the same old backup for 3 years or so now, installed a bunch of thing etc... so I want to start from scratch.
The only thing I don't want to lose are my SMS.I also don't want to jailbreak my iPhone. What are the solution to backup only my SMS (so not regular iTunes backup) and then restore that only to my freshly installed iOS4?
I inadvertently backed up my iPod Touch 3G which ended up being a blessing because it actually died due to water damage. When I get my new iP4 I want to restore from that iPod Touch backup because it has many apps I use for studying including the settings which I definitely need. Is there a way to restore just the apps? How would/could I restore at least the one app with data that I really need?
I finally updated my iPhone to 5.1. I waited so long because of the fiasco updating my iPod Touch when 5.0 first came out. I thought it worked, I was pleased Apple worked out the bugs. Lo and behold, all of my apps and folders disappeared before my eyes. No problem I thought, I did a back up. Restore from back up. Fifteen minutes later, it looks exactly the same. Isn't a backup supposed to be of everything on the system so that if something goes wrong, you just revert back to the back up and either try again or wait for the process to be fixed? Seriously, get your stuff together.
if I restore factory setting to my iPhone, is it still possible to restore the backup from itune/ icloud to get the purchased apps and other informations?
I cant get my iphone to turn on, I tried to restore it and it told me they couldn't restore it, is it junk or is there something that can get it to work?
I have been using my iPhone 4 as an iPod for a while because I'm waiting for AT&T to unlock it. I wanted to restore my phone to backup in my computer, but the restore button only restored my phone to factory settings, and it now tells me to activate the phone but I don't have the original SIM. Is there a way to restore to backup without activating the phone?
Is there any way to add folders to mail on my Iphone. I need to be able to keep some of my mail for awhile and it seem that I end up accidently deleting it or it disappears from my phone. I would like to move the mail I need to keep to a different folder so that this doesn't happen
Can you download photo's onto your computer that have been taken on a holiday for instance, and they have been catagorised into a sub-folder on the iPhone?
The photo's are only on the phone, and not on the computer as of yet, and i only want to download the sub folder.
Do we know how iPhone OS 4 will handle apps that are lumped into folders and have badge icons (via push notifications or otherwise)?I'm hoping there will be an option for the folder to have its own badge icon that sums all the badge icons in the folder. It would be nice to lump applications that get badge notifications into one folder. This would at least provide some form of notification management until Apple solves the problem. Granted this won't work for applications that use the badge icons for things like temperature.
Just curious, what auto-name titles for folders have you guys found? Im talking about the name apple makes automatically, not one you change it to. So far I have found:
I have three accounts and it always seems to default to one of my lesser used accounts. I have deleted and re-created all accounts making the primary account first but no such luck.
Is there a way to show email from all my differnt folders in one main folder. I use exchange and have rules on my computer that based on who its from it goes to a certain folder. When I view my email on iphone I have to go to each folder individually. Anyway to see all unread mail in one folder?
Is there any way for me to organize my email into folders? Right now my mail is simply listed newest first and is very unorganized making it difficult to use. If I could set up folders that I could put mail in, that would be perfect.
I have 2 folders in my pictures that need to be deleted. I have tried everything aside from resetting the phone to factory settings.Itunes doesn't even show the folders so I can't uncheck them The phone doesn't give me the option to delete the folders either Is there anything else I can try - even tried the importing pictures and deleting and those 2 folders don't show up?
