Restoring From An Older Backup Than The Most Recent One Occurred.

Hi,
Today I was backing up my iPod touch as per usual. I waited and waited (it took a fair while). When it finished I looked a the usage of the device and it had changed alot. I was very confused. I looked at my songs and they had all been wiped off. I went to restore the device to the latest backup but by the time I had done that the whole iPod had backed up again. This means I cannot find the backup before that.
My question is does it save older backups automatically anywhere?
Thanks,
Liam

Do you have a backup of your computer system from an earlier date?  If so you can replace the current backup file with the one from the earlier date and then restore that backup.  In Vista, your backup file is located in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup (substitute your login name for user)

  • Can I restore an older backup than the most recent one from iCloud

  • HT1766 Can I restore my iPhone from an older backup than the most recent?

    Ca. I restore my iPhone from a backup that is older than the most recent one?

    Hey Geigerfam4,
    The following info covers restoring from earlier backups:
    You can choose from up to three of the most recent backups associated with your iCloud account. Each backup shows the date and time the backup was created, as well as the name of the device that created the backup. Unless you want to restore an older backup, choose the most recent backup of the device you want to restore.

  • HT201269 how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent)

    how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent). I can get the restore from backup, but there is only the most recent one visi

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

    Is there any way to restore from an older backup on an iPhone 4S? I need the one from about an hour ago!

    If you have Time Machine and it ran after the backup you want and before the current backup you can restore it from the Time Machine backup.

  • Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

    I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
    After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
    Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

    Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
    No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
    Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
    N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

  • Can be done restore from an earlier backup if the backup was deleted?

    can be done restore from an earlier backup if the backup was deleted? restoring from backup is lost application

    No, you cannot restore from a deleted backup, because the backup is deleted. It therefore no longer exists.
    Just re-download the lost app from the AppStore.

  • I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

    I keep receiving Reset email password emails.
    The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening?? I am not requesting to reset my icloud email password.

    That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
    If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)

    I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is #14; last week's is #1. Any ideas how to correct this? The odd thing is that when you try to subscribe to the podcasts, they are listed in the proper order.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • HT1420 After updating to 11 for itunes and ios 7 for phone - I lost over 3500 songs from my itunes.  My ipod still has 4100 songs on it less the most recent ones I have purchased.  Can't my ipod be used to recreate the library in itunes?

    After updating itunes to 11.1 and phone to ios7, I lost more than 3500 songs from my library. My ipod has 4185 songs less the most recent I purchased.
    Is there no way an ipod can be used to restore the lost music?  Yes, some of it was from cds but were done a long time ago.  Obviously it was acceptable for me to compile this music then, now they want to say since it all wasn't purchased, I can't have what was already mine?  Plus I do not use nor want to use the cloud, but it keeps creeping up even though I don't want or use it.  HELP!

  • I have just backed up my iPhone5 but when I connected my new iPhone5s the back-up wasn't listed as an option to restore? Where can I find the most recent back-up?

    I've back-up the iPhone 5 several times now then connected the iPhone 5s but the back-up isn't listed. In fact the most recent back-up available is Nov 2013 but I've been backing up each fortnight.

    If the 5S is already active, you will not see the backup for another device. You will need to erase the 5S back to factory default, and when prompted during the setup, choose restore from backup instead of setup as new.

  • Need to Update Flashplayer but I have the most recent one.

    Hi. I will start by saying that I am computer illiterate, so I will need careful and patient help. Here is my issue: Whenever I try to play a video, You Tube or otherwise, I am told I need to update flashplayer. When I go to update it, I am told that I need to close windows messenger. According to my settings, messenger is disabled. Whenever i get rid of the messenger box, I am told that installation is incomplete.  Also, according to my settings, I have the most recent version of flashplayer installed, 10.1.102.64, the one for IE.
    On a totally unrelated note, what is the difference between Spyware and anti virus protection? I have McAffee.
    Will appreciate your help.

    Hi, Thanks for stating that you are not so experienced with computers. We don't have any way of knowing until we're told:-)
    I need your computer info, as XP, Vista, Win7? Also what version of the IE browser? If you don't know, go up to Help at the top of the IE and click on it, then About Internet Explorer.
    I'll post the info on Anti-Virus/Spyware next.
    Thanks,

  • How do you restore IPhone to a backup other than the most recent.  Phone crashed, restore didn't work.

    My iPhone 4 crashed and I did a restore, but instead it set it up as a new install.  So when I went to do a restore, I still lost all my contacts and apps.  Need help restoring using a precious backup.

    control + click(mac) or right click(windows) on the name of your iPhone on iTunes then select restore from back up
    _if you have multiple back up, it will give you option which back up to restore

  • HT201250 My macbook pro crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I restored from Time Machine backup all the files from my old hard drive onto my new one.

    Does it really back up the whole new drive or does it only back up what's been added? It seemed like it was doing the whole thing when I tried it. I stopped it. Don't want to use up all the space on my external. Is there something else I need to do or did I mess up by not doing the migrating thing? thanks!

    If you installed a new hard drive, it has nothing on it and yes TimeMachine is going to take forever to restore everything back.
    I guess you'll have to erase and start over again now.
    Too bad, you should have made bootable clones in addition to TimeMachine, they can restore in a hour or two depending upon content, they are also option key bootable.
    TimeMachine has to go through and calculate all the files it needs to bring forward, the files are strewn all over the drive. The read heads are moving all over the platters all the time from fast sectors to slow ones, not matching what's occuring on the internal drive.
    With a clone the files are defragmented and optimized, the drive reads one file, moves the heads a tiny bit and reads the next all the while transferring exactly to the internal drive, they are more in step with one another, thus it's much faster restoring from a clone than TM.

  • ITunes ask me to restore from a old backup all the time when I connect my iPhone5.

    Hi! My iTunes ask me to restore from a backup when I connect my new iPhone 5. I have done the backup process but it still ask me to do it. How do I get iTunes to understand that this is done?
    I connected my iPhone and restore it from a backup from my old iPhone 4. It worked well. But when i connect the iPhone to iTunes it ask all the time the same thing.
    1. this is a new iPhone bla bla or...
    2. restore from a old copy. (strange is that it says that this was done 1982 all the time?!?!).
    The MacBook Pro is new and I have the latest iTunes 11.0.1. (12)
    Glad for any help!!
    Best regards
    Pontus

    Maybe you should have connected as a new phone instead of trying to put an iPhone 4 backup on an iPhone 5.
    Try restoring it to factory setings and start again. If all your music and contact s are on the computer then you should be good to go.
