I have never backed up my phone (stupid, I know) and just upgraded to iOS 7. Unfortunately something went wrong and it reset everything. It gave me options to set up as new phone or a previous back up. The last back up I did was from my old phone 2 years ago! Is there a program out there that can help restore my old photos/info?

The activation servers were overwhelmed presumably by the volume of activity on launch day. Now activation fails for a different reason - Apple is no longer signing iOS 6 software during the restore process.
Once you get your OS activated either through iTunes or over the air, you will be able to load your backup as you had planned.
Apple would surely make it easier on a segment of its customer base if the service status page were kept updated thusly….
But if you have a apple ID you can get apps back by simply downloading them on device with no extra fee

Best Answer
No. If your iPhone have been wiped all data is lost. I just wondered why the last backup is 2 years old because before the iOS upgrade a backup should have been made.
You should consider using iCloud so regular backups of some data (contacts, calendar, notes, photos, App data) will be made without your interaction.
