Can you get an earlier iCloud backup ie the one before the most recent

I restored my iPhone 4S from iTunes forgot to backup before.  I want to know if it is possible to restore my phone from an earlier iCloud backup as the last iCloud backup is now from after I restored it.  I didn't realise my error before it was to late!

Yes, it's possible, as long as there really is such a backup in icloud.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • Can I restore an earlier iCloud backup with only one visible?

    I had to restore my iPhone 3GS because attempting to transfer purchases from it somehow made it unreadable by any program. When I tried to Restore it, the Restore failed, and the phone told me to try Restoring again. However, while it was deciding that it had failed to Restore itself, the defective phone backed itself up over my saved iCloud backup (it backed up again before I shut off auto-backup, because for some reason, I couldn't access Settings until it finished mis-installing the Apps in queu).
    I couldn't back the phone up on my new computer since the transfer never completed and iTunes crashed due to that failure. All the data that had been successfully transferred from my phone to my computer before the Transfer failed was gone when I got iTunes up again. Now I only have an iCloud backup with the failed Restore, missing a lot of my products, data, and functionality. How do I restore the original backup that wasn't screwed up?

    I didn't have a Choose Backup option. In fact, when I attempted to Restore following this suggestion, my phone just immediately started the Restore process (from my computer, which had no backup saved to it, and it gave and continues to give no option to permit Restoration from iCloud) and ended up removing all data, apps, and accounts on my phone.
    Now I have nothing.
    My single iCloud backup appears to still exist, but it's useless because I can't do anything with it except delete it...and it's from after my phone crashed anyway, so it's not fully functional. But it would be better than what I have now, if I could actually get to it.

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • Can you get Time Machine to backup to a disk image?

    I just bought an OWC external enclosure that holds two SATA drives. I upgraded my internal (main) HD to a 1TB drive, and then put my old internal 500 gig (main) HD and my old internal 500 gig (time machine) HD into the external enclosure.
    So I'm good, with an external time machine raid array, that I can take off site.
    But, I really wanted to encrypt the data, so as if someone broke into my car and stole my offsite backup, not have my data.
    I thought about creating a 1TB (well, 930 gigs) encrypted image in disk utility on the external, mounting it, and choosing that for time machine. When I leave, shutdown would dismount the image, then turn off drive, unplug and leave.
    But time machine won't allow me to choose the image.
    I read about a terminal hack for backing up to unsupported network volumes....I tired that just for kicks, didn't work.
    Is there any way to get time machine to allow me to choose a mounted disk image as my backup volume?
    Thanks!

    Likewise, I'm interested in the same question, but for a different reason: backing up to a NAS. Since a disk image gives you a nice virtual HFS+ partition, it seems a lot less suicidal than trying to shoehorn a Time Machine backup into whatever the NAS's native filesystem happens to be.
    In theory it should be possible, since nested disk images (even mixing sparsebundle and plain old DMG) work just fine normally. And having your data in a nice monolithic DMG file would make it easier to copy and move the TM backups -- not to mention, you cap the max size and do encryption easily, as you described.
    But it's almost impossible to find this information on the Web -- Googling for this topic results in a bunch of noise about Time Machine's sparsebundle images. I managed to find one similar thread:
    http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=91297
    But that thread, like this thread, so far doesn't have any solution.
    I'm going to try to copy an existing TM backup to the disk image and see if that works. Will post again later, and hope that someone might have a solution someday.
    Incidentally, if all you want is encryption, apparently you can get an encrypted TM backup by manually creating the sparsebundle file and turning on encryption. See the parent thread to this comment:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=98733
    Anyway, let's hope someone might have a time-machine-inside-a-disk-image solution someday...

  • Can you set up seperate Icloud accounts up under One apple ID?

    Can I backup different devices to different Icloud under one apple account?
    For example my computer and phone to one and my son's phone and ipad to another without creating separate apple ids.
    Thanks

    You don't sync devices through devices. You sync through iCloud or iTunes. If he has his own Apple/iCloud ID then he would be syncing through iCloud with that ID. On iTunes, he can use the same iTunes library as long as his ID has been authorized on the computer iTunes is running on.
    Can you explain a little more about what information you are looking for?

  • Is there a way to restore your iPad from the one before the last backup, or every backup erases the previous one?

    After 5 days, I have just received a replacement iPad.
    Because I was in a hurry and without a adequate connection, I first restored it from the computer to get the apps and everything, intent with later restoring it from the cloud, where the latest backup was done.
    When I tried to restore it from the cloud, I could not find the backup from 5 days ago but only the one done today.
    Does one backup erases all previous ones? Is that information lost? If not, how can I retrieve it?
    Thanks.

    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • If my battery life is getting lower  and lower, can I get my iPod replaced with a new one with the guaranty?

    Bought my iPod 10months ago, now the battery life is really bad!!! I need to know if I can get it replaced with the guaranty! Thanks :)

    I'd make an appointment at your local apple store, have them check it out and see what they say. If they determine that it's a manufacturer's defect then they may replace it.
    In case they do, I'd do a full sync and backup before you take it in.
