After I updated to iOS 5 yesterday, I realized I lost all of my Voicemails on my iPhone 4.
First I thought and hoped that my iTunes would perhaps have these stored – but I was mistaken.
Then I thought and hoped that maybe iCloud had them now – but I was mistaken.
Last I thought and hoped that maybe, just maybe, my last BackUp before I updated would be the solution once restored – but I was mistaken.
Not wanting to lose some funny and hilarious and even nostalgic recordings, but not knowing what to do next, I started searching the web.
After a while I got lucky and stumbled upon this little article which helped a lot, mainly by providing me with this very useful app, which I can highly recommend!
After downloading, it was pretty self-explanatory, but here is nonetheless what I did:
- Downloaded the App
- Clicked on the Button “Read Backups” (which lo and behold held 4 BackUps I didn’t know existed)
- Scrolled all the way down to “iOS Files” and clicked “Extract”
- Picked a Destination Folder
- Found my Voicemails in $myFolder/Library/Voicemails and a lot of other useful files, including photos and such
Well, I am happy now, I got everything I needed.
Hope this helps you too!
Cheers,
