When I plug my phone in earlier it said new software update, so I downloaded it and everything is fine apart from the fact it's wiped all my contacts, tried restoring it but nothing!
Any ideas?
Cheers Rich

 

you synced the iphone first to back up everything before doing the update, yes? if not then theres your problem.

I think thats how it works anyway? ive not tried installing any new software yet, im still on 3.1.3 for now

 

my advice is stay on 3.1.3, ios4 has stuffed my iphone aswell!

no 3g or gps signal

tip fucking top!

 

ye i've tried backing it up but it doesn't restore the contacts

ive tried restoring too, but again it doesnt work, i presume due to the fact the backup is for the old firmware, and the phone is on the new ios4 firmware! great!

 

Must be a ploy to get us all to upgrade to the iPhone 4 tomorrow

 

Mine deleted several apps and still not on 4

 

Are you all on 3G or 3GS phones?

I upgraded my 3GS the other night and it works fine, all contacts there, all apps there, everything works as it should other than any photos I have put on the phone myself needing reloading due to pixelating slightly, but as said, reloading cured them.

I know the people with the 3G ones have had trouble as it appears the OS4 does not seem compatible.

 

3GS

 

iphones are sh1t end of story.

nothing bad a bad signal and a big bill.

 

what is the average time for this download?????

cheers andy

 

16GB 3GS

 

yea mate

 

took a couple of hours for me, think it's around 368MB.

No probs here so far, touch wood.

 

mine keeps coming up with some timed out network msg?????

does anyone no wot this means???

 

so buy yourself out of the contract, sell the phone and stop whinging, end off

 

for all those who have had problems can you not reload OS3x then resync in itunes after, this at least might give you your contacts back and a usable phone.

I was gonna DL os4 tonight for mine but wont bother just yet.

 

Did you just have contacts in phone? I keep mine in outlook, sync outlook with itunes and sync phone with i tunes so it doesnt matter if i tunes fucks up, which it did when i uploaded OS4, however it all works perfectly and i just resynced itunes with outlook and contacts are back

 

im on a 32GB 3GS

cant seem to get 3.1.3 back onto the phone, the mac wont seem to accept it

 

Upgraded my 16GB 3GS tonight and its spot on, no problems at all.

 

You could try and import contacts from your sim card,it's in the settings menu somewhere on the phone,will try and dig it out and get back to you.

 

Right,settings,mail,contacts,calenders,scroll right down and it's there,import sim contacts,should have most of your numbers on there.
