Funny. The problem with my old iPhone was a broken internal switch. The phone would turn on and off, but nothing could be accessed. According to the good folks at the Apple store the diagnostic code was a bad internal switch, or something like that. It cold not be repaired. Perhaps I should have sent nospam to argue with them.

nospam
the phone may not have been usable as a phone, but the *data* on it was not lost. it's still there.

PeterN
The data may have been there, but it could not be accessed. It would not sync with any computer. It could not be read by any computer. Not even at the Apple store.

nospam
your story keeps changing.

it won't sync with anything other than the computer to which it was first synced. once again, you don't know what you're talking about.

however, the data was there.

not only that, but a 'broken internal switch' isn't going to cause a sync failure.

the switches do *not* matter.

the apple store staff wanted to fix the phone so you could use it as a phone. that's to be expected.

PeterN
The folks in th Apple store disagree with you.

nospam
no. their job is to fix stuff, not recover them.

if you want data recovery, try <http://www.drivesavers.com/>.

Once more yu have no idea WTF you are talking about.

nospam
i know *far* more about ios devices that you ever will.

And you selectively take comments out of context. But it doesn't matter. We all know what you are, and act accordingly.

nospam
nothing was removed. you are wrong again.

PeterN
And just where did I used the word "removed." Do learn to read.

nospam
you said "selectively take comments out of context".

the entire post was quoted (again) and nothing was removed at all, therefore nothing could be taken out of context.

do learn to read.

PeterN
Do look up what the phrase: "taken out of context,: means. You will quickly see that it does not mean anything was removed.
