Back Up/Restore issues -

I recently updated my Iphone 4 to the most recent IOs 6.1 in ITunes. I backed up my data but I cannot find my Back up when it was time to Restore.
Can someone tell me what to do or where to go? All my data, pictures, contacts, etc. are gone..... Please help.

Any available backup, done through iTunes, will be listed here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

Back up & restore issue after updating to 4.3

Before updating my SP from 4.1 to JB 4.3 I made a backup using tool "Back up & restore" on SD card. But now after updating to JB 4.3 I'm unable to restore that backup. It says "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file".Is there any way resolve this? I need to restore my old Contacts, I don't care about rest of the data.

It's unvelibable!If Sony provides a Backup & Restore tool, it is intended to do exactly as expected: backups that can be restored.
I made backups to be sure all my valueable data is not lost.Now my mobile has been stolen :-(Don't worry, I think, I have a backup of all important data.Nooo!! Say Sony's tool: you have a different version of Android now, so you CAN NOT restore any data.And say: updates the old phone (the stolen one), and make a NEW backup. Ok, it is not admisible! You must provide a tool that can restore data without (impossible) conditions. This is not a tool, this is a secure way of throw away all of your important data!! I'm very angry! This contacts are not my friends, are business contacts and I'm loosing money because of that >:-(

IOS 5 issues, back up restore password.

I never created a back up restore password but itunes is asking me for one. I can't back up my ipod unless I figure this out. I've lost al my pics and videos. Please help if you can.

No, if you can't remember the password then you won't be able to restore to that backup - there wouldn't be much use in having password protected backups if the password could be bypassed

Recovering new photos deleted during back up restore

So I have a problem, and it's someone elses phone.
I done a back up on the phone in September as my friend was sending her iPhone 4 to be updated, there was a software issue.
We only got round to getting together to put the back up back on the phone now and she had since taken photos etc. I dont the back up restore and now all the photos, text messages and whatever else that took place since the back up have dissappeared! Please help!

Maybe here. It is not cheap.

Restoring Issue on Ipod

Hello everyone
Recently i've been having problems with my ipod nano. I would be listening to music and all of a sudden my ipod would reset on me and eventually display a "Use Itunes to Restore" message or it would display the message right away. I was wondering if this was a software or hardware issue or could possibly be a song that's making my ipod do this because after i restore it i would grab my backup songs off my desktop and place it back on.
So far i've had to restore my ipod about 5 times now and its only been about 2 weeks, i've been getting pretty sick of always having to restore it. I've restore it on my PC 3 times, the 4th i did it on a different USB port. The 5th time was this afternoon and i did it on my laptop to see if it was probably because of my desktop. Nothing has really happened yet but i think things will start acting up after 2-3 days. If it happens again i planned on doing it on my sister's Mac to see if it can resolve the issue.
I'm just hoping it isn't hardware issue because my warrenty for my ipod has been expired for a long time now and I don't really want to go out and buy another ipod or MP3 player.
Thanks for your time, but i hope you guys can help me out

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Tivoli/TSAFS.NLM Restore issue

I am trying to restore a server using Tivoli and Storserver on the front end. I keep getting errors( server detecting system error). Storserver/Tivoli said this is a TSAFS.NLM error. I see a Novell TID dated Oct/05 that eludes to this problem( 10099433). The fix does not work. Tivoli is suggesting that this is a known issue with Novell and a fixed TSAFS.NLM should fix the problem. Our current date/version TSAFS.NLM is Aug 14, 2007/6.52.08.
Do we need to update/ back rev this NLM, or is there a specific fix?
Thank you,
Pete

So it seems to me likely that TID does not in fact relate to your problem at all.
Also you say the fix in teh TID did not work. What exactly from the TID did you do?
START:
Here is an update of what we did that helped much, but we are still getting errors. This was my e-mail to Novell support:
This is in regards to our Tivoli/Storserve restore issues....
We did as you said as to TID 10089094 and TID 1009433 reloading the NLM
TSAFS with the switch:
/NoConvertUnmappableChrs
This DID help as we were able to restore much more with fewer errors. But we are still getting the errors I explained to you in the original call on many
files.
I ran a restore against two known files that give us these errors from
the original backup dated March 27. I have attached the DEBUG TSAFS log
as per TID 10097645.
END of e-mail to Novell support...But they have escalated to next level as we are still getting SOME errors of the same....I will update this thread as I get more...
NOTE: Intrestingly, we had to restore a second server. Using this switch from the start, we did NOT get any errors...
Stand by/

G5 dual 2ghz. Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard. Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue. What's happening?

I keep seeing people ask and the advice to replace if it has been unplugged, but really have nothing to confirm that from my experiences.
My experience is that a weak or dead battery can cause much more than date and time issues.
I have seen it time and time again.
Deal with used machines and you will quickly learn....
I'll give no "recipe" or set list of symptoms, but the range of irregularities that can occur make it a quick and easy first line of troubleshooting, especially when the machine has been off the mains for a few months.
Why fight mysterious maladies and troubleshoot with the knowledge that the PRAM battery is beyond it's useful life.
Maybe they recharge?
Not likely. They are chemically nasty, disposable, one way discharge batteries.
They aren't Lithium-ion batteries

thanks!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option?

How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?

Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

That usually means that there is something wrong with the backup and it cannot be used. You can try restoring the backup again, but if you continue to get the same message all you can do is restore to a different backup, if you have one.

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
