Backup is missing plist files and cant access data.
Hi
I upgraded my iPhone4 to 5.1.1 but had some problems so I inshalles the OS from scratch. I then restored from the backup I did before upgrade but only the applications installed, no app data or photos.
I tried to restore again from the backup but it did not appear in the iTunes pick list. I can see the backup in the "mobilesync/backup" folder but the .plist files are missing.
Any suggestions on how to get the data back?
The backup file if 5gb in size so I know the pics etc are there, the new backup is only 428mb! - I have taken a copy of these and saved to a memory stick to have a clean copy of the files
I have tried iphone backup extractor but as the plist files are missing it does not work.
The worst thing about this is I have used a program called "everyday" and have taken a photo of my son since he was born in April 2011. I will try anything to recover these pics
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
