how do i recover lost data from iphone 4s after accidental restore?

If you have made regular iTunes backups or enabled automatic daily iCloud backups just restore the most recent one. If you don't have any backups your data are gone forever.

What is in (and can be recovered from) iCloud is not the issue here.

What is at issue here are the things that are contained in Backup of the iOS device. If the person has not backed up their device, then anything they are not already syncing with iCloud will be lost. Messages, for example. No backup - no Messages. If you are not using iCloud Photo Library, then your entire Camera Roll other photo albums. App & Game data - only on a backup. Device Settings - only on a backup.

So, the answer remains. If you do not have a backup, you will be able to fully recover all of the data on your device.

As with the ability to restore anything that is being sync'd to iCloud, you also will be able to re-download any purchases made from the iTunes & App Stores.

But all of the stuff in the middle up there will be gone.

This is a spammer. Who, interestingly, is riffing on KiltedTim's name.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought it was just some a-hole who was trying to tick KT off.....😀

He appears to be gone from the annals of ASC (except in my post).

That's something sensible people avoid doing.

Hi,

I have lost data, like, photos videos, voice recordings from this iPhone, 4S, can you guide me for recovery of data

Regads

Yes

No, it would have been YOU who stored all of your data. In one or all of the following ways:

1. By making backups of your device

2. By having iCloud turned on and syncing your Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, etc.

3. By importing your photos either to a photos app on a computer, or to iCloud Photo Library

If YOU have stored all of your data, then you can get it back.

Apple has no direct access to any of your stored data.

There's this thing called "personal responsibility".

Going to be hard, seems like you worked very hard to make sure you did not back up your data. 😁

What kind of data in particular did you lose?

Kiss the data goodbye - unless some of the lost data is content purchased from the iTunes store such as music, books, and apps.

really?

As long as you don’t disable the automatic sync option in iTunes, it will automatically generate a backup for your iOS device when you plug your device into your Mac or PC, and the backup file updates along with your every sync. So it is certainly sure and easy to restore iPhone from iTunes backup with Vibosoft iTunes data recovery. That is, you can recover your iPhone/iPad/iPod data from the recent iTunes backup whenever the data is missing.

If you have selected for iTunes to create and maintain the backup, the backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process regardless if automatic syncing is enabled when the iPhone is connected. Automatic syncing not being enabled does not prevent the backup from being updated as the first step when syncing.
