iPhone 4 "device not registered" ... need help for backing up some app data


OK ... this is gonna be a long one. I have a iPhone 4 and I installed the iOS 5 Beta a couple of months ago. Last night when i reached for it to make a call ... I had to choose between disabling/enabling notifications ... and a few steps later ... I got a message:

"This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program. ##br####br## If you are a member of the Program, please register your device in the http://developer.apple.com/iphone/."

I plugged it into my Mac and I got an error that the software on the phone has expired and needs to be updated then while in itunes if i try to look for updates if tells me that there are no available updates and if i try to sync or back-up i get it tells me that a session cannot be started.

I could solve all of this with a restore (i guess) ... but I have some very important pictures taken with the camera+ app ... so they are not in the album (yet) ...

What can I do ?? I tried looking for file managers to get into the hone ... but I cannot get those pictures (being in a app) ...

Any ideas would be appreciated ... I'm desperate...


Solution

  • Same thing just heppened to me. I had to put my iPad in DFU mode and reset it with iTunes.

    Some applications lost their data, some didn't. Don't know about Camera+ cause I don't have it installed.

    By the way, pictures in the camera roll were not deleted. Videos were.
