Is there any way to restore an iPhone 4 from a previous backup?
I accidentally deleted all my contacts from my cloud settings, prior to backing it up on the computer. I hadn't realized it until I checked my phone again. Now the current backup has no contacts. Is there any way to restore my phone from a previous back up?
Thanks in advance guys!Every backup replaces the old one, unless you use one to back up from. So, if there are no more backups listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, or your last backup has been replaced in iCloud, your info is gone.
If you included the backup folder of your computer in your backup routine, you might be able to restore backups done on the computer, see this article:

my wife did a restore on our computer that lost my acct info i need to figure out how to access my info or restore my acct. not sure
Sorry, but I still don't understand what "account" you're referring to or what you're trying to recover. If you mean the iTunes Store, your husband should be able to just sign in using his normal user ID and password for the Store. If you mean the content purchased from the iTunes Store, with the exception of movies and audiobooks he should be able to just download it again:

If that's still not what you mean, you'll need to clarify further, or have your husband post and explain what the problem is.
Regards.
By the way, there is a forum for iTunes for Windows:

It's usually most effective if you post in the correct forum. Otherwise people can easily become confused, particularly when your explanation of the problem is, shall we say, less than complete. -
I have an iPhone with a completely shattered screen (the display wont even show up, just a black screen), the home button does not work. I have a passcode on the device, but I have not synced the device with my current PC (I got a new computer and don't have any of my syncs from my old computer). I recieved my replacement device today, and want to back up the iphone before I activate the new device - but I get prompted to put in my code on the phone before it will allow me to back it up. As the display is completely black and does not appear to respond to touch, and the home button is broken so I cannot put it in recovery mode... What do I do? If I took the phone in to my carrier's store, would they be able to override the passcode and put my information on my new device?

Sorry, no. Given the present state of your phone, your data is unrecoverable. -
HT4847 Is there any way to restore all my apps from Setting iCloud Manage Storage ?
i locked my ipod then i restart my ipod all over again, so i was wondering if i could restore all my apps that way?
if so, could anyone tell me how??
by the way its an ipod 5~No.
If you backed up your device to iCloud before restoring it, you can restore it from the backup when setting it up.
Otherwise you can just re-download all your apps from iCloud in the Purchased tab of the AppStore. -
any solutions please?
Yeah, I have to agree with RoamingGnome...this sounds like more of a Jailbreak issue, not an Apple issue. If you bought this phone from a legal distributor and just haven't upgraded your iOS since 3.1.2, I'd contact the place where you purchased it. If you Jailbroke or bought it Jailbroken to get it Unlocked to use with any carrier, my best solution would be to search the net. I'm pretty sure there is a current Jailbreak for up to iOS 5.1.1, but I'm not really up to date with that information. I do know that you can legally now purchase a factory unlock from Apple, but I'm not sure if that's only with new purchases or if you can buy an Unlock for an older phone.
My best solution would be to search your phone revision & iOS online and you should get what you're looking for. Sometimes you can even just search YouTube and they'll have a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to do whatever you might need to get up & running again.
It's pretty rough being without a cellphone, especially if it's your only communication device. Hopefully this at least pointed you in the proper direction. -
I updated to iOS.5 and all of my gamecenter friends and stats are gone. The gamecenter games have been wiped clean too. Is there any way to restore?
Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod? Have you looked in all your folders? Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.

I've just synched my new iPhone 4s and lost my videos and photos as I opted not to save them when prompted - is there any way to restore these files?
No. Not if you didn't have them backed up somewhere.

I have an iPhone 4. I unplugged my phone during an update and have lost all pictures, text messages and videos from the last year. Is there any way to restore from a certain date to recover them?

I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos when I synced with iTunes. Maybe I clicked the wrong button, but I just wanted to download the photos from my phone to my computer. Is there any way to restore my previous information?
Did you sync to itunes from a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
syncing to itunes doesn't just wipe out all your data.
If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup. -
is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support -
My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?
The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then. -

Hold switch does not keep on - is the switch broken?
Hi. My faithful 5th gen. iPod started to stand on its own - it didn't like to obey my wish for keeping hold switch on or off. It is on, all the time. So, is this a sign for independence or resignation? In other words, is the switch physically broken
