Updated to iOs5 lost everything! Help?
So I updated my phone to iOS5 and this is what happens. I lose everything. Cannot restore from backup, nothing. Heres the rundown :
This is the message I get when I plug it in
"iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “Gayla's iPhone”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?"
So I click "Continue Restore"
Then I get this "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-50)" 😠
Whenever I try to restore it from the back up from earlier, it says that it is not compatible and that I cannot use it, or that it is corrupt.
So I click Restore and of course it erases everything (there is nothing on it anyway because it already erased it all)
So we go through that process then I get this :
" The iphone could not be restored. An internal error occured." ( of course it did...)
The back up is on here, because whenever I go into prefference > Devices.. I can see the back up and its what I need but I cannot get it to my phone. How do I get it on there.
I have one idea but I don't know if it's the right one,
Restore it to the older/latest version of iOS that I had (not iOS5) and then restore it from the backup, THEN try to the update again.
Is that right or is there an easier way to do this? Really appreciate your help, as I have lost everything, text message, apps, contacts, pictures. And this is stuff that cannot be replaced.
