Use <strong>iExplorer</strong>. Its a fantastic application that allows access to pretty much everything on your iOS device. And even allows you to transfer and save in-application files to your computer. In other words, you can transfer saved game data across devices.
The trial, I believe, allows for up to 150MB to be transferred at a time, but don't quote me on it!
Hope this is what you were looking for. Its quite a helpful application!
Your iPhone backups are kept in "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" (you get there by going to the Go menu in the Finder and holding down the Option key and selecting Library).
You can restore that folder individually without restoring the rest of the computer by going to the Time Machine menu and selecting Enter Time Machine while looking at that folder. Go to the date that you said you had the contact and restore that single folder.
Then you should be able to use a program like iMazing, iExplorer, or iBackupBot to recover the individual contact from that backup.
The messages in their entirety are stored in iTunes backups. Apps like iExplorer allow you to browse the backups and read and selectively export messages that are in those backups.
Unfortunately you ran into a weird bug that happens sometimes while jailbreaking; you just have to restore and jailbreak again.
But before you do that, if you want to help out, here are a few steps that will provide debugging information that might be useful (I'll pass it on to the right people):
First, on your computer, install iExplorer, Phone Disk, or a similar application designed to access iOS device files over USB.
/Applications
? Are those missing apps also missing from this folder?/private/var/stash
?As someone who does this on a regular basis for his clients, your best bet is iExplorer. It's an app made specifically for that use: pulling data out of an iPhone. It works extremely well with music.
You can try it for free with a 50 song limitation. If you're lucky, the limitation might let you recover the two tracks you want without paying for the software.
It's super easy to use, but let me know if you need help as, like I said, I use it quite often.
Looks like by default you won't get access to the necessary file structure on a Mac.
However, I did find this free software that exposes the file system to the Mac Finder: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
There are two things I've used in the past with users who had similar problems (one disabled, one damaged too badly to input passcode):
http://www.easeus.com/mobile-tool/iphone-data-recovery-pro.html
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer
Edit: I should have mentioned, I have iExplorer on my computer, and I can get into my phone and copy pictures without entering my passcode at all. Now, my phone isn't disabled, but it IS locked. I expect it would work for you too, and if not EaseUs iOS recovery software will, but I think it's pricier.
There is a way to fool your iPhone into thinking that it is running a certain version of iOS; for example you can make it think that it is running 5.0 while it is actually running 4.2.1.
Link if you're interested, but be warned - many apps have the version restriction because of technical limitations of older firmware versions. You do not need to be jailbroken, but you will need software to access the iPhone's files (completely safe if you follow the tut). I recommend iExplorer.
iExplorer will give you access to contact lists, photos and all the stuff on a phone. If you look around there are prior versions that can be found for free, possibly one that will work for your system.
Before you hook the phone to your computer, launch iTunes and go to the preferences and in to the Devices pane and check the box that says "Prevent iTunes from automatically syncing iPhones, iPods and iPads" - that way the phone won't be wiped the millisecond you plug it in.
Check out iExplorer, it let's you manage files on an idevice manually without going through iTunes. Havent used it in a couple of years (thank Durante) but the site says it's updated.
You can use iExplorer. Even in the demo version I found out you can get them. Download the demo, install, then you will see either your phone plugged in or you can "Explore iTunes backups". Then under your phone, you click Voicemail and it will show you all of them. Under the demo you won't be able to "Export" them, but you can click and drag them off like this:
Click and drag any of the voicemails you want (I have the 5700 one highlighted below):
Then the file is an *.amr file but opens in quicktime just fine:
Hope that helps!
I found a really cool app for Mac and PC called iExplorer. (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/)
When you connect your iPhone, you can explore all the files within the ZR app. The radio mode for S2 and S3 is under zombiesrun.app -> Preload with the names "Z2-RA-1.zip" and "Z3-RA-1.zip", respectively.
Just unzip the files, and have access to the complete collection of audio files from Radio Mode during Season 2 and 3. :)
That is not a feature available in iTunes so you will need a 3rd party file explorer type program and will allow you to view and copy the files on your iPhone from your computer.
Edit to add: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
I did a quick google search and found this program, looks like it should fit your needs.
Best I can get is the last album I posted here - http://imgur.com/a/jiLah
The cache of received pics disappeared unfortunately, I definitely received a few others on Friday.
Such a shame to see it go, I don't understand why the pictures don't cache very well. Obviously people could end up with a huge cache but there could be a clear all button.
Edit: Plugged my iPhone into my computer and looked through the Rando folder using iExplorer, these are the pics that are still on it! They just don't show up in the app (Also they didn't have the .jpg extension). These are a mix of sent and received and completely out of order it seems, sorry.
Iexplorer is another alternative option. It allows access to the file system of your iPad without jailbreaking. This will require you to learn the path to your music/media folders. If you do go through with it, PM me and I'll give you some of my useful shortcuts when I get home.
Here's how I modified my favorite iOS 4 icon theme (CUPS HD) to work on iOS 5:
Get into the device's filesystem. I used a SFTP client (Transmit), but you can use iFile, SSH, iExplorer, etc.
Go to /Library/Themes, go to your theme's folder, and go to Bundles. Then:
In "com.apple.mobilemail", rename "" to "". In "com.apple.mobileipod", rename "" to "". In "com.atebits.Tweetie2", rename "" to "".
And the Calendar icon looked weird, so I edited Info.plist until it looked right (it's just CSS).
For other apps, you can find updated icon names by going to their folder (in /Applications/ or /User/Applications/) and rummaging around inside.
For interface file name updates, browse through this thread for tips.
DFU mode is built into the device - sometimes the timing is tricky, but it's always available. Also yeah, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
There are also desktop applications like iExplorer and DiskAid for accessing the files on the device, but using them depends on the status of your device.
Try using the program iExplorer. I'm not sure how it handles locked devices, it might not let you at the important data like contacts and passwords, (security and all that) but you should be able to access things like photos and songs.
As far as the broken iPhone, what model is it? You can get a replacement digitizer and display relatively cheap from ebay and even some tools (the teeny-tiny screwdrivers are a godsend) and do it yourself. Thing is, you have nothing to lose as the device is already broken, so for the cost of a screen and digitizer.. give it a whirl! It's really not that hard. The repair directions for iPhones can be found here.
Before you plug in the phone, go into iTunes preferences and in Devices pane, check the ticky-box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically"
Then go get iExplorer which is Mac/PC compatible and you can handle the music files that way.
This would work only for SMS/MMS messages. It wouldn't include any iMessages, since those are just data use.
Anyway, iExplorer allows you to export all of your messages: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/features/export-iphone-messages-voicemail-contacts/
You could, of course, alter these records yourself, but you can also just show the timestamps directly from the Messages app by swiping to the left.
I would use this to copy the music from the iPod and import them directly into the new iTunes. No transferring of library's or anything like that. It is about $35 but it does a bunch of other stuff. I do not work for Macroplant.
iTunes will erase your iPod, but if you use iExplorer to import the music to your library, you can simply sync everything right back onto the iPod after it's erased.
I'm pretty sure you can't do what you want to do, at least not without expert knowledge.
You can, however, use software to extract everything that's on your iPad to your new computer and then resent it back with a fresh install.
I use iExplorer myself, but there are several other options.
I would solve this the hardware route, although I'm sure there is some way to do it digitally via the software. Plug the phone into a computer or device capable of recoding off the 3.5mm input, then play there voicemail from the phone and record it.
You could see if this still works with the most current iTunes. See this as well.
Use third party programs like:
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
Phone View for mac: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
I use imazing and phoneview, both are great software for pulling things off your phone.
I'd look into purchasing some software that can mount the iphone as a disk, and then doing a write/wipe (filling with zeros, then formatting, I can't remember what that procedure is called), before restoring them with an off-network, blank install PC that only has a copy of iTunes on it.
Upon some research, apparently the iphone stores everything in AES-256, and doing a factory restore wipes that key. I still would go for something a bit heavier though. Bear in mind that the kind of 35x wipe you may be used to doesn't really apply to semi-conductor based memory, you might have to seek another option.
I was going to recommend iShredder, but apparently apple have removed this and similar apps from their store in an attempt to (this si speculation from various sites) cover up a potential flaw in the design of the iPhone.
Meh. Mount the thing as a disk (properly, invest in something like http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/), write and wipe, then do a full restore. Should satisfy your needs.
Yes a backup will save your texts/iMessages but you will not be able to access them through iTunes. So if you back them up and then erase them on your phone, you still won't be able to read them unless you restore your phone from the old backup. There are programs that let you backup your texts to PDF or text files.
I use iExplorer
iExplorer - mounts your iOS device and lets you explore it almost like it was a USB drive.
This only allows you to bypass the iCloud lock that comes up after a restore. I don't think it will be too helpful in this situation I'm afraid.
You could try backing up the device with iTunes and looking through the backup files for any notes. This can be done with iExplorer IIRC.
Sorry for your loss :(
Save & Export iPhone Voicemail to Your Mac or PC - not my site, just found after a google search. I am sure there are other alternatives that let you browse a backup file.
Okay, so if this is the app, then I know exactly how you can get your passcode that you forgot.
If you download iExplorer. Then browse the backup and look for the app in Backup Explorer. There should be a bunch of folders. Look for a preferences.plist file and your 4 digit pin will be listed in the plist file. Sorry I couldn't be more descriptive. I will try it when I get back to my computer.
First:
Then:
Last:
You don't want to talk about DRM, the thing that is preventing you from being able to copy from your phone to another machine? Its the thing responsible.
> It goes back to DRM and apple assuming that youre stealing.
Because you likely are... if it is free music, it will take 5 minutes to download from wherever you got it at your friends place. Likely faster than a USB copy. People aren't stupid, so this is in place to stop people from easily sharing libraries.
> Also I still haven't found any solution to having my playlist on my new computer other than rebuilding it by hand.
Right click on the playlist, export playlist, choose format from M3U, txt, XML, plain text, or M3U8. Its a right click context menu, couldn't be simpler.
Have you actually googled a single issueyou are having, or just assumed you can't do it?
Yeah, there are a bunch of desktop applications like this! These seem decent: DiskAid, iExplorer, Phone Disk.
You can also use a SFTP desktop application like WinSCP, Cyberduck, or Transmit to access your device over SSH but with a GUI. I usually do that.
Sounds like you installed something really incompatible with iOS 5. :( Do you remember a list of the things you installed?
Basically try connecting to the device using iExplorer over USB and try to delete whatever you installed (probably from /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/).
[iFunBox](i-funbox.com)
Phone to PC (10 songs then 60 sec wait unless you buy it. Will definitely work if the above two don't.
I was able to add a coloscheme and change it with
:colorscheme name
Use http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ then you can access to runtime folder into Vim.app. There you have the folders of .vim/
So you can add plugins, colorschemes and syntax files. I have to test which works.
Also you can edit vimrc config file, so you can map a lot of things. It's very interesting.
I've also been searching for bluetooth keyboards for my iPhone4.
We should post our ios vimrc files for the best mappings and plugins.
Well, you could start up older iPods in disk mode, and just use it as a USB drive. Not sure if you can still do that with the Touch. Does a new drive show up in My Computer when you attach it, or can you only access it through iTunes?
Edit: A quick google revealed this link, which may work.
iPhone Explorer: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
It's free, doesn't require Jailbreaking or any other hacks, and it works with iOS 4 and the newly released iOS 5.
It allows you to browse your iPhone file system over USB. Navigate to the Media/PhotoData/Sync/100SYNCD
folder to access your photos.
I don't know if it works with ipads, but I've used sharepod to suck all the data off ipods and iphones before.
It's a windows program though, and you seem to be using OSX. Googling for an alternative came up with iexplorer, which I don't know if is any good or not.
Using iExplorer, you can generate a text file of all messages, or export a specific conversation. It costs past 30 days, but for a one-time backup it's great.
There are a few applications out there that will allow you to see the files on the back end through your PC. I can't remember which one I used, I think iExplorer, but I used it to back up some game data for some games I was uninstalling. I didn't try to delete anything from there, but maybe give it a shot?
I don't have iExplorer (or iOS 8.3 for that matter) so I can't confirm whether it works or not. However according to the release notes it is compatible with iOS 8.3 :)
I would look at iExplorer. It's a pretty good program to get into your iOS device and do backups, clear cache and even import things without having to go through iTunes. It's easier to use than iTunes and faster in some cases.
You can go in there and in the new version can analyze where your space is going to. Most of it is failed garbage collection by the OS. You can just clear up the cache and it will open up that space.
You absolutely should make a full backup via iTunes as soon as possible in case the phone's condition worsens! However, you are not going to to be able to do what you want via an iTunes backup. iTunes backups are designed to provide a backup copy of an iOS device's content in order to restore it to the same iOS device, or to a new iOS device for the same user. It does that very admirably, and it should also sync things stored in iTunes like music and audiobooks so long as it has been authorized with the same Apple ID as the phone. It was originally a media management program after all.
I'm assuming you have a PC, as if you had a Mac things like iPhoto and iMessage would have already been available to sync the data with the phone (if it had been connected). On my work PC I use the free Google Picasa software to remove and manage photos from my iPhone. It sees the iPhone as a digital camera, and can import its photos to the PC's My Photos folder for the user. It then creates sub folders for them based on the date taken. This could solve your picture problems.
For everything else, a third party software solution may be needed. iExplorer is one such option that should allow you to access data on both the phone and backup copy you make via iTunes in case that should be necessary. The downside of these third party software solutions is that they are not free, but iExplorer at least has a free trial:
You should have an line out port on your phone, right? For headsets? Plug that into the line in on your computer(probably in the back), and use whatever system software you have to start recording from line in. Then play the message.
You'll need an extension jack cord, probably 3.5 mm, with a "male" plug on each end. You can quite likely borrow one from a friend, or buy one at a dollar store. ebay and amazon have it as well. It looks like this:
http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_160510_1.jpg
You can also get a male to female extension; don't, it won't be useful for this.
For windows, if I recall, you should have "recorder" at the basics or something? OSX will have something similar. In a pinch there are lots of free software packages that can do it, such as vlc if I recall.
Basically, search for tutorials: "windows record line in" or "osx record line in" or "record audio in". Other than the cord(which you might have), you shouldn't have to spend any money at all.
Actually I just found an easier way. I think. http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/tutorials/how-to-access-voicemail-on-iphone
Don't forget to make a second copy of the mp3 when you get it. Perhaps email it to yourself, or throw it in dropbox if you use that.
Best of luck to you. Preserving your memories this way is a great thing to do.
Before you do anything, go into the iTunes preferences and in the Devices pane, check the box that says Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically
Now you can go and get either iBrowse (which is free and involves a bit of filesystem gymnastics) or iExplorer which costs about 40 bucks.
To use the iBrowse, you simply connect the iPod to your computer (which now should NOT cause iTunes to launch if you set it's preferences correctly), and run the program. When the window opens, you'll have access to the filesystem, and you work down to the iTunes_Control folder. Inside that you keep digging until you hit a bunch of folders that will be named F00, F01, F02.. etc. Inside those are the actual songfiles, but they will have four letter or number filenames - that is the shorthand naming convention used by iOS. The files still do have the ID3 tags with them, so you copy all of those 'Fxx' folders into a folder you've made on your desktop, and once done, you can transfer them to your dad's computer and just drop them into the iTunes library that his iPhone is synced to. The song info - album, artist and all the rest should show on the songs as long as when the music was ripped, your iTunes did the CDDB thing and got the info.
One option is to use a program like the one linked below to recurse through the various directories of your ipad, looking for the large file that matches what should've been deleted. http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
(a similar program: http://ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ )
Another option is to make a backup (local or iCloud), then restore from the backup. I can't say with confidence whether that'll work or just retain the file inside the backup, and there might also be intermediate options between these two. But the top option has worked for me in the past for very similar problems.
First thing, if you have music on your iPod that isn't in the computer library you sync to, do NOT plug in the device.. It will not take songs out of the iPod and put them into your iTunes library. It will delete them.
That behavior is a hold-over from the DRM stuff that the recording industry demanded Apple had to build in before the labels would allow their music to be sold in the Music Store. Even though the DRM is gone, the iOS still acts this way - also a good way to prevent content being downloaded out of your device if it is stolen, so there's that.
FIRST, go into the iTunes preferences and to the Devices pane and check the box marked "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" Now you can plug in your iThing and it won't launch iTunes and sync and wipe it out.
Then go and get iExplorer and use that to move music files off and on to the device. It works super easy and the company has great support if you have a problem.
Oh no..
Have had the disappearing music library problem before and it involved a complete purge of my library and a reset.
The thing is, your iTunes music library itself is the backup, the rest of it is the apps and your contact lists and internet stuff.
I take it that there were songs you got from the Music Store as well as from your CD's? You should be able to re-download the music you already purchased, but for safe keeping, use the computer and try to rebuild the content and then for the love of all that is holy, get the music library itself backed up onto a big flash memory stick or an external storage drive.
(or even, if you have the space, just dupe the music to a different folder you make - like in the Documents, so it's out of the default location and less likely to be borked by either iTunes or iOS on the iPod)
I'm not sure of this, but I think Apple only holds download data for 18 months, then it's up to you to manage your purchased content.
On a lark, you can try using the iExplorer app and see if the music is still hidden on your iPod, but after a sync that blows out the library, it's not likely.
:(
Not sure about anything like an iPhone emulator, however, there are third party software solutions that allow you to browse the iTunes backups and extract content. Two that come to mind are Wondershare:
http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/how-to-view-itunes-backup.html
and iExplorer:
Try the method in this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq_TBimgE0I
You can also get the iOS version from a desktop file browser program like iFunBox (http://www.i-funbox.com/) or iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/)
No.
All the iThings only sync to one computer at a time. Right now, it's mom's computer.
As she's purchased songs on the Music Store, means she can get them again (within 18 months, if I recall, is the amount of time Apple holds purchase data) so if she wants to sync with your computer, it will mean a complete refresh of her device, then you can load in the songs off of your computer and she can get her songs again out of the Cloud.
there's also the iExplorer route that is a nifty app and is built to move iThing contents to new machines..
Sorry man, haha! In that case I think iExplorer has an option to mount the iPhone as a disk in Explorer. Never tried it though. http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/features/mount-iphone-disk-mode-file-folder-access/
iBackupBot will let you grab an item from your backup.
http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
iExplorer will allow you to place that item onto your iOS device.
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
I've done "selective restores" like this to grab just a specific app's data to copy to a new device.
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
Install that and plug in the phone that has the game. Navigate to the game folder and inside save the documents folder to your desktop. Now install the game from the AppStore on your new phone and plug it into the computer. Transfer the documents folder and you should see your game data on your new device.
so iTunes itself won't let you transfer non iTunes purchases off an iOS device. It prevents you from loading your friends library or your library and swapping huge collections of music. There's a lot of free and paid for third party programs that may let you recover the music but I can tell you that a lot of the time the tagging and other labeling is fucked up
A program like iExplorer would be your best bet http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
Source:Did iOS tech support or two years. Dealt with problem before.
If you have any backups at all, try accessing them with iExplorer. I lost photos of my dad with Gordie Howe, but when I used iExplorer I could access some of my old backups on my computer and iCloud that were saved and was able to bring them back and download them.
I've been using iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) for as long as I've remembered and it works swiftly and without a hitch. Worked with transferring media from iPod/iPhone to iTunes. This is especially useful if you got a new computer/iTunes installation and you wish to sync new songs to your device along with the songs already on it.
You can use iExplorer, it works really well, but the problem is it costs like 30 bucks which is pretty steep if you're only gonna use it the one time. It has a free version that you could try and who knows maybe it'll suffice.
The Mac + iPhone combo actually makes solving this problem pretty hard because of the way macs handle iDevices - it's not handled like a normal usb device. If you have a Windows machine there are a bunch of free options that you could try.
Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If that doesn't work: Try this application http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/musicrescue/ I believe it does photos as well. If not, try http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ I'm not sure if the second option transfers photos in the free version.
VLC the app works great for this
It will play almost all video types including mkv
Just use Iexplorer to navigate to the app folder and drop them in there.
Iexplorer : http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
VLC app: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/vlc-for-ios/id650377962?mt=8
Like akachela said, be sure to sync your notes to some cloud service as soon as possible. Doing so will prevent this from happening to you again in the future.
As far as recovering notes without restoring goes, I have used iExplorer to view backups of my phone and restore things that I overlooked during the backup process. The app isn't free but it has saved me a few times in the past.
Have you ever backed up the iPhone to iTunes? (Does iTunes list a backup for it on the Devices tab in iTunes Preferences?)
If so, you can use something like iExplorer.
If the messages were sent as SMS (not iMessage), your carrier may still have a copy of them on their SMSC (SMS server); you would need to subpoena them for whatever they have stored.
The latest version of iExplorer lets you mount your iPhone as a disk. Download the latest version of iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) and mount your iPhone. Browse to the trash folder, copy the applications folder to your desktop, and browse back to the /var folder. Copy the applications folder back.
O.K., here's how to get this map from your device to your computer.
First, download iExplorer from this site: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
Then, connect your iDevice to your computer.
In the menu on the left hand side, navigate to Apps > Minecraft
Once in Minecraft, navigate through Documents > Games > Com.mojang > Minecraft Worlds
You should see the name of your world here
Right cick (or on a mac, control+click) and copy file. Paste it on your desktop.
You can now use any file upload site to upload your world.
Hope I helped!
Edit: changed "Left click" to "Right click"
Use a software called iExplorer.
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
W61GK-PY9PT-MWL26-FPP59-HRUAE
Hopefully that code will work but if not, just try searching from youtube. You can use the codes multiple times but they do expire. When I tried it activated on my first code which was in a couple of weeks old youtube video.
It's a really great software but it's also pretty expensive if you are only going to use it once (file transfer tool) and that's why I'am advising you to use a used code and not buy a new one (35$).
iExplorer sounds like the program you're looking for. It's free to download and it enables you to take everything off of your ipod and puts it onto your computer. :)
You shouldn't have to do that, but if you really want to give it a go, you can use a program such as <strong>iExplorer</strong> to manually delete an app's cache.
Look for the apps cache in its /Library/Caches folder.
For example: http://i.imgur.com/74dr1zQ.png
1) Force-close the program.
2) Delete everything under Caches.
3) Re-open program.
iExplorer can do that. It allows you (among other things) to export SMS conversations and as txt, csv or pdf files.
I especially like the pdf version which look nice (with contact pictures and bubbles).
Unfortunately, I don't know how to use the YouCapture app and don't know its expected behavior.
As another option, you can download iExplorer to your PC and use it to navigate your iPhone's files. Be careful not to delete anything important.
iFunBox, iExplorer- there are plenty of options. Most of them are free.
I tend to use Documents' Network Drive functionality- just type the URL of the phone's server into any browser's address bar, and you've got drag-and-drop transfer without any need for a cable. There are options that let you mount it in Explorer/Finder/whatever, as well.
From there, you can do whatever you like with the files. Tends to be more reliable than MTP, as well.
Back up your contacts by writing them down first.
I think iExplorer might work in this circumstance but I have yet to try it.
Apps would be synched with your ID, in your purchase history. They're here on my iOS6 device, in the store, under "Updates" (up the top) at Purchases.
Music: get that onto your new PC with Sharepod.
It's tough to recover data from a device in a boot loop like that. You can try with a desktop application like iExplorer that works over USB.
After you give up on that, just put your device into DFU mode, which will let you restore it with iTunes.
Ok. Didn't really want to use these to teach you since I'm personally not a fan of them. But you can use iFunBox or iExplorer. Both are painless to learn how to use, just download, install, and run. No need to download anything from cydia, just plug your iDevice in and it'll work.
So pick whichever one you like, and navigate to the theme folder. In iFunBox that's Raw File System > var > stash > Themes.xxxxx > Jaku Core.theme > Bundles. In iExplorer, Root > var > etc.
Create a new folder with the appropriate bundle name you found using AppInfo. Then put the icon that you downloaded into that folder, also with the appropriate name.
Respring and the change should take effect.
Two caveats:
If your friend downloaded any of the music from iTunes, your computer will need to be "authorized" to play it.
As I hinted at copying music is illegal. Why not support the artists you like by buying their songs legitimately?
^(Yes, record companies are draconian and we live in a Bay of Pirates but I don't know if I actually would download a car if I were given the option.)

Just copy everything under Media/iTunes_Control
File structure doesn't make much sense (it' a hash table), but as long as the files are tagged, iTunes will sort them into proper folders on import.
That's pretty strange. If you have photos on the device, they should show up in iPhoto.
If you have another user account on that computer, try opening iPhoto under that account with the iPod connected. You can also try creating a new iPhoto Library by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto. Perhaps one of those methods will work around whatever issue is giving you problems.
There are programs which will allow you to view the contents of your iPod. You might see if iExplorer can help you backup those pictures. I haven't used it but it looks pretty nice.
Most likely not, your average thief is interested in the value of the device and not the data on it. However, there are applications that let you access the files on an iphone ( this ), although I am not sure how much interaction is required with itunes or the actual device.
Unless someone is stealing your phone specifically for your data I would imagine that you would be fine. Plus you can always remotely wipe your phone from icloud if it gets stolen.
If neither of those work for your iPhone, I know you can get the music off with iExplorer, it's just not as friendly. If your iPod requires disk mode, here are instructions to do it.
I don't know of any way to do this wirelessly or without buying some kind of app like Phone Disk. The free iExplorer app won't do it. I'm not even sure if it could be scripted/automated. If you're up to experimenting and spending $20 if it works (once the demo expires), post back. ;)
You probably installed an extension that is really incompatible with iOS 5. Try connecting to your device over USB using something like iExplorer, DiskAid, or Phone Disk and deleting suspected incompatible extensions from /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/ and then rebooting.
If you happen to have installed anything from a pirate source, I'd try removing those extensions first, since pirate sources tend to not have very good quality control, with out-of-date extensions etc. Let us know if something from a default source was causing the problem, or just email the developer to let them know.
Use Iexplorer (former Iphone explore): You can use this to navigate the iphone.

Also, there is key combination you must hit when connecting an i-device. This forces itunes not to sync when an i-device is connected to the mac (despite the settings on the Iphone), but I cannot remember the key combination. I thought its was ALT-Apple, but I am not 100% sure.
You installed something (probably a tweak) that isn't compatible with iOS 5. You need to delete it over SSH or a desktop application like http://www.digidna.net/products/diskaid or http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ - and then your phone should be back to normal.
Apple was required to do this to appease the music industry. There are ways to get your content off of the iPod/iPhone but they require 3rd party software. I use PhoneView, which is Mac-only so doesn't really help you. Hopefully someone will chime in with some software that works with Windows. A quick search turns up iExplorer.

The save files are usually small, and I've not had any issues yet in transferring them from one device to another. Use IExplorer to back up your game saves to your computer, then just pop them into the appropriate folder after you've wiped/reinstalled.
iExplorer works pretty well on a working iPhone, don't know what it would do on a part-restored one.
A word of caution: after I used it to delete some in-app content (cached VLC videos that wouldn't go any other way), my next Sync caused iTunes to blank my phone and reload everything. I think this would be less of a problem for you in your situation...
There is a free utility called iPhone Explorer that let's you browse and download files from an iOS device: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
You browse over USB, and it doesn't require Jailbreaking or any other hacks. And (shockingly) it works on a locked device. You could see if the document is in the /Apps/Numbers/Documents
folder.
Otherwise, restoring the device will reset its password, so typically you can backup your device, restore it, then restore the backup and good to go again. I'm surprised the school isn't doing that for you.
