Recovering Lost Data Without an iPhone Backup
I'm sure you've heard of an iPhone before. I'm also pretty sure that you are currently reading this article from an iPhone or some other Apple device. If this is true, then you will pretty much already know how important it is to take regular backups of your iPhone. Your iPhone will have a lot of important information of yours stored on it and if you were to suddenly lose all of that information just because your phone stopped working for some reason, your life will become a lot more difficult than it already is wouldn't it? Today's generation uses their smart phone for almost everything. Some people even maintain their bank details and records on their smart phone. So if you were to somehow lose your iPhone data, you could be stuck with a major problem on your hands. That's why it is very important for any iPhone user to regularly backup their phone. This way, even if the data is wiped from the memory of the phone, you will always have a backup stored safely on your computer from where you can recover all your data including your messages, call history, pictures, videos, music, etc.
If the data on your iPhone has been corrupted, you will receive messages like "Unknown error (6)", "Please connect to iTunes," etc. These messages pretty much mean that you will need to reinstall your iOS. At this point of time, you could even restore all your saved data from a backup iPhone you might have created before. But if you haven't made a backup before this happens, say bye bye to all your precious information. There is no way in which you can get it back.
There are many reasons why an iPhone's data might get corrupted. The most common reasons include being dropped on the ground or into water, a virus, etc. In such situations, if you want to recover your precious data, you will need to have a backup available from where the iPhone can recover it. If you find the whole recovery process to be a bit too complicated, there are many softwares out there that can help you out with it as well. But even these softwares will not be of much use to you unless you have a backup of the data which you want to recover.
Lastly, no matter what you do, don't think that whenever you sync your iPhone with your computer that all your data is being stored. This is the most common mistake that most iPhone users make and if you believe that all your data is safe just because your synced your iPhone with your computer then you are wrong. Backing up your iPhone is completely different from syncing it. There is a separate option for backing up data in iTunes. So don't waste any more time and take a backup of your iPhone right now. After all, you never know when your data might get corrupted.
