How to restore backed up data of another iPhone?
Please help me out. I connected my friend's iPhone to my iTunes and it offered to update the software on it. I decided to update as my friend had never than that before. And, now I am in trouble, cause all his data is gone. I mean all... before it was synchronizing it said that it was backing up the data ... does anyone know how to find this data? Because my iTunes has only the data for my iPhone ...
Thank you
Go to iTunes preferences. Is there a backup listed under the Devices tab for your friend's iPhone?
If so, your friend needs to restore his iPhone with iTunes from the backup for his iPhone.
When restoring, his iPhone will be erased and the firmware will be re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore the iPhone from an available backup - which is the default selection. If the backup for his iPhone is not selected, you can select it from the pop-up.
The backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos that were in the iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only.
If the backup for his iPhone is available and restored, do not sync his iPhone. He will need to sync his iPhone with the iTunes library on his computer to re-transfer his selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps.

Help, how to restore backed-up data from old 3GS to my new 3GS?
Hi I recently got a replacement phone, and when i synced it to iTunes, the prompt to restore my backed-up data came up. However when I tried to restore, it prompted me to update my new phone's software to 3.1 first.
So now, after updating my software, how do I restore the data from my old phone?
Coz the first prompt does not appear anymore.
Would appreciate your feedback, thanks!Upgrade to 3.1 first, do not sync or backup. After you upgrade, reconnect & select restore from previous backup & all your data will be put back on the new phone.
When you right click on your phone under devices in the right column, one of your choices will be restore from backup.

you have two options.
1. run Migration assistant on the new computer. It's in /Applications/Utilities. It lets you migrate your user data and applications from a TM backup. this is the best and the easiest option.
2. use TM in a browse mode to selectively restore what you want by hand. to do that control-click on TM in the dock and select 'browse other TM backups". it will let you browse your old TM backups and restore what you want where you want to.
Either way when you are done you should set up TM on the new computer again in TM system preferences. it will start a new backup sequence and you'll be able to access it normally. -
How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them in Time Machine backups.
I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders - Locate Missing Folders
Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

My ipod has received error code (9). I have tried to restore, but failed. Any idea how to restore back to original settings?
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud
How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage to my Ipad with different name but with software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back
I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps -
How to delete back up data in icloud?
How to delete back up data in iCloud?
From previous posts:
If you mean backed up in your iCloud backup, you can delete the backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, touch your backup and tap Delete Backup, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
If you mean data synced to your iCloud account like contacts and calendars, you can either delete if from your device or go to icloud.com on your computer and delete it there. -
I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive.Cant play any music as it "can't find" the library Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing. How to restore back to original state . I have tried re-installing - with no change
I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use. -

after installing ios7, my phone now is always in headphone mode, how to restore back to ringer mode
I did a search on "recovery mode loop"..you might take a look at the following threads to get some ideas...some mention is made of "USB conflicts"..not sure how valid that is.....they also mention doing a hard power down of the device...sounds like if you absolutely can't get it out of recovery mode, a trip to the Genius bar will be necessary...

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?
Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. -
How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?
How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.
What do you mean share?
It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this. Bump is one such app.
There is no functionality in iOS to do this. iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few. -
