Need to recover iPhone data after restore!

Can a program recover videos and pictures from an iPhone that has been restored to factory settings? I lost my iPhone data after restore. Some of them are very precious and I need them back. How could I get them back? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

If you lost all of your iPhone data after restore to factory settings, you can choose to restore the whole content by using iTunes, because there is no data on your iPhone now. If only part of the data is lost and you don't want to erase what you have now, you need a third-party tool to help. iTunes doesn't allow you to restore data selectively, after all.

You can use Wondershare Dr.Fone Mac or Wondershare Dr.Fone (Windows). The software can help to find out all your iTunes backup files automatically and extract the whole contents for you to preview, so that you can recover your iPhone data selectively from the backup, and keep your current data safe.

Download the free trial version below to have a try. Choose the right version for your computer.

You can preview the photos and videos in Camera Roll and Photo Stream categories, SMS contents in Messages and Message Attachments, etc. Select the one you'd like to preview, mark it and click "Recover" to save it on your Mac.

    Well, currently you can recover files like contacts, SMS, notes, calendars directly from your iPhone 4S. You can only recover photos from iTunes backup for your iPhone 4S. And plese make sure that you have downloaded the right version of Dr.Fone for iPhone 4S.

    You can try re-installing Dr.Fone on your computer.

    You can keep holding "Home" and "Power" button to reboot your iPad. To solve the program crash problem, you can try re-installing the program. If the problem still exists, please come to Wondershare support center for help.

    I copied the application to my desktop and opened it but it quits. I get the message about it: "Wondershare Dr.Fone quit unexpectedly." I really need help, since I set my iPhone 3 to factory settings because it was recovering from a backup, but nothing would change after it said it recovered.

    You can keep holding "Power" +"Hone" button to reboot your iPhone. And please make sure you have download the right Dr.Fone version for your iPhone. You do not have to enter DFU mode to do a direct data recovery of iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S actually.

    I guess your contacts are not lost. This just means that your iPhone system has not fully load the internal memory yet. Sometimes if you reboot your iPhone or wait for more time, your contacts will be back. If they are really lost, you can get Dr.Fone to scan your iPhone 4 for lost contacts too.

    Hi, my iphone 4 was really slow, so I decided to restart the phone, and after the restart all my contacts were gone. I decided to do use iTunes to do backup restore, but i realized too late that my last back up was 4 months ago, so I lost a lot of other data (picture, messages, etc). Is there anyway for me to be able to retrieve them?
