iOS5 Upgrade Screwup

[chouglez]

Hi TPle,

While upgrading my better half's iPhone to iOS5 something did not go very well and I have somhow lost all the pictures :shake:

I am getting error # -50

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error 50: This error (and error -50) are timeout errors. Follow the steps for errors 13 or 14 above.

Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:

Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the above error messages ar ironically very cryptic although coming from Apple.

Can anyone help me with getting me back the pictures.

Many thanks

Many thank. I tried many things from the link but no joy. An iPhone having some sort of hard disk should have these photos somewhere within it which should be able to salvage?

Hard disc in an iPhone? Were they backed up to iCloud?

Did you try the iExplorer route?

Presumably you can just add them back to the phone from the computer you backed them up to before upgrading the OS? :shrug:

Obviously it has storage inside...flash rather than spinning platters, but still...

Anyway, I would restore your iPhone from your last backup before the upgrade, hopefully you'll be able to rescue the photos.
