Advanced Help Needed - Restoring iPhone data from Backup

Upon updating my iPhone 3G[S] from 3.1 to 3.1..2 I did a full restore, I made sure to backup the device before this. Post-update/restore I, accidentally, hit "Set up as new phone" therefore deleting my earlier backup, a backup I have been building on for over 2 years now. When realizing that iTunes had automatically deleted my backup, I quickly opened my file recovery program and got the whole backup folder restored to a separate drive. I moved the whole freshly-recovered back up folder to the correctly directory within iTunes appdata, right next to where my new/empty/useless backups where. Right clicking my device within iTunes and selecting "Restore from backup" my backup from earlier in the day was not listed. After further inspection of the backup folder that I had recovered I noticed that there was no Info.plist file. I went into the other/useless backup that iTunes had just made and brought the info.plist into my older backup folder, now in iTunes my older backup was listed, I selected it and attempted to restore to only receive an error half way through restore "(-32)" to be exact. I checked again and again with my recovery tools to see if the original info.plist file was deleted, it was not, I have no idea why it would be missing, but worse is that I have no idea how I can get iTunes to restore the backup without it, considering it doesn't even recognize it the backup as existing without it, is there way to create a custom info.plist so I could restore or force a restore outside of iTunes? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Backup c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If you copy these folders into a new computer in the same location (or the contents of a current long name folder into one of the long name folders in backup) you should be able to restore your old data.
Outside of that maybe track down the location of your outlook PST or address book database. support.microsoft.com probably has some tips.

  • Help needed to insert data from different database

    Hi ,
    I have a requirement where i need to fetch data from different database through database link .Depending on user request , the dblink needs to change and data from respective table from mentioned datbase has to be fetched and populated .Could i use execute immediate for this, would dblink work within execute immediate .If not , could pls let me know any other approach .

    What does "the dblink needs to change" mean?
    Are you trying to dynamically create database links at run-time? Or to point a query at one of a set of pre-established database links at run-time?
    Are you sure that you really need to get the data from the remote database in real time? Could you use materialized views/ Streams/ etc to move the data from the remote databases to the local database? That tends to be far more robust.

  • Lost internet connection while restoring iphone 4S from backup after iOS 6

    Hi everyone..
    I have just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday. It was iOS5.1.1 and was in jailbreak mode before the update.
    I did sync my iphone and did the 'Backup' as well before the update by using my latest iTunes via my laptop.
    The iOS6 update was successful.
    However, the 'Restore from backup' failed.. many times!! Everytime I tried to Restore from backup, i lost internet connection towards the end of the 'restore in progress'  process so it was never complete. I had to pull out the iphone cable or restart my pc every single time that happened. Because i cannot get an internet connection after that happened. I cannot connect to any wireless network, so I had to restart the pc!
    (the iPhone says 'Restore complete' as soon as I pulled out the cable. But phone stays as NEW phone, none of my backup data was restored).
    During the 'restore from backup' attempts (via iTunes 10.7 on laptop), I have tried:
    - Restoring to factory settings first and then restore from backup = tried many times and still failed.
    - Uninstalled Apple mobile device and iTunes and re-installed them = still failed.
    - Switched OFF the phone and hold the Home button while connecting to the laptop. Restored to factory settings, then tried to restore from backup = still failed!!
    - switching to different USB ports on my laptop including USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 = no luck, still failed.
    NOTES:
    -Laptop is on Windows 7 and have had NO such problems so far. I have been using iPhone since 3GS.
    -Internet connection is via wireless router, steady connection.
    -My 3GS was on jailbreak mode before. I bought iPhone 4S and successfully restored from my '3GS backup' without any problem.
    -iTunes 10.7 installed/updated.

    Nevermind.. I just found the solution to my problem.
    I copied the Backup folder into my mate's laptop and did the 'Restore from backup'.
    All is good now.. Only need to re-install my apps, soon after all will be back as per normal!

  • Help needed with loading data from ODS to cube

    Hi
    I am loading data from an ODS to a cube in QA. The update rules are active and definition seems right. I am getting the following error, in the update rules.
    "Error in the unit conversion. Error 110 occurred"
    Help.
    Thanks.

    Hi Chintai,
    You can see the record number where the error occured in the monitor (RSMO) for this data load > goto the details tab and open up the Processing area (+ sign). Try it out...
    Also about ignoring the error record and uploading the rest, this is done if you have set Error Handling in your InfoPackage (Update tab), but this would have to be done before the load starts, not after the error happens.
    Hope this helps...
    And since you thanked me twice, also please see here:-) https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/7201c12f-0701-0010-f2a6-de5f8ea81a9e [original link is broken]

  • Help needed in loading data from BW(200) to APO(100).

    Hi everybody,
    I am trying to load a master data from BW(200) to AP1(100) , this is what i did.
    1) created a InfoObject, with some fields (general-ebeln, Attributes- bukrs, werks,matnr).
    2) created and activated communication structure.
    3) Then went to BW(200) created data source(sbiw) and extracted datas from a particular info object, which had same fields and saved it, then went to RSA3 checked for data availability in data source , and it was available there too.
    4) Came back to AP1(100), in the source system tab, opened BW(200) and replicated the datas. I was able to see the Data source name which is created in BW(200).
    5) Create and activated the Transfer struct.
    6) created a info package, and loaded the data, but the monitor says " NOT YET COMPLEATED" , "CURRENTLY IN PROCESS". and it also shows "0 of 0 RECORDS".
    I want to know,
    1) Is there any mistake in what i have done above ?
    2) how long will it take to complete the process (i.e. the loading) ?.
    Please help me through this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ranjani.

    Hi,
    I am surprised with your steps. In APO, you want to load data from a particular infoobject from BW. Why did you create a specific extractor in SBIW???
    You have just reinvented the wheel... It reminds me some people in the world ...
    Here is what you should do:
    - in BW, at the infosource level, you create a direct infosource based on the infoobject that you want to extract the data to APO (let's say 0MATERIAL)
    - in BW, at the infosource level, you right click on the infosource itself and you choose 'GENERATE EXPORT DATASOURCE. That will create the datasources for you (attributes, texts, hierarchies) depending on the infoobject settings. The names of these datasources will begin with a 8 for the datamart
    - in APO, you replicate the BW system. Now you find the datasources 80MATERIAL something
    - in APO, you create the transfer rules to your infosource and you can load
    Just give it a try
    Regards

  • Restore iphone 5 to factory settings and then restore my data from backup

    I have an iphone 5 running ios 7.0.6 which was installed over the air. I want to replace that over the air installation with a usb installed version. It appears that to do this I have to 'restore' my iphone back to factory condition which as I understand it will install the new ios, but also erase all of my data/apps/etc. If I make a backup of my phone prior to 'restoring' it, will I be able to then use my backup to restore all my stuff?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    I have done the backup and restore several times to an iPad and an iPhone. I have never had a failure. Make certain your device is fully charged before you start.
    I have done this to remove excessive "other" storage on the devices.

  • How do I get iTunes to allow me to restore iPhone files from backup?

    My iPhone 5 was previously backed up via iTunes to my laptop running OS 10.8.4.  However, the File | Devices | Restore option in iTunes is grayed out (AAARGH!).  Moreover, I cannot figure out where the backup file is stored on my laptop.  I need to pull back a video that was accidentally deleted.
    Any ideas?

    To restore from back up try the steps in the article below apart from the one you already tried:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Also to check for a back up you can do this two ways:
    - iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Device Backups
    Or
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • IMovie and iPhoto problem after restoring iPhone 5 from backup

    Isnt iMovie and iPhoto supposed to be free for iPhone 5 when we bought it?
    When i first tried my iphone, imovie and iphoto is there. i even tested it. then after yesterday i restore it from my backup on my Macbook Air, those 2 apps are gone. I dont know what went wrong.
    My previous phone is iPhone 4. So supposedly i restore it from the iphone 4 backup data. I doubt that would be the problem, isnt it?

    iMoive and iPhoto are not free apps. If you purchased them on your iPhone they should available to download again on your new iPhone.

  • Urgent help needed with reading data from Cube

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone tell me how to read a value from a record in the CUBE with a key (combination of fields).
    Please provide if you have any custome Function Module or piece of code.
    Any ideas are highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    aarthi

    Due to the nature of the cube design, that would be difficult, that's why there are API's, FMs, and MDX capabilities - to eliminate the need to navigate the physical structure.  Otherwise you would have to concern yourself with:
    - that there are two fact tables E and F that would need to be read.  The Factview could take of this one.
    - you would want to be able to read aggregates if they were available.
    - the fact table only as DIM IDs or SIDs (for line item dims) to identify the data, not characteristic values.  A Dim ID represents a specific combination of characteristic values.

  • Help needed in reading data from a Crystal Report

    I am trying to read data values from a saved crystal report. (groovy code snippet below)
    I open a new ReportClientDocument and set the RAS using the inprocConnectionString property.
    Then I get the rowsetController and set defaultNumOfBrowsingRecords, rowsetBatchSize and maxNumOfRecords all to 1000000
    Using the browseFieldValues method after that returns only 100 records. I want to get all.
               ReportClientDocument clientDocSaved;
           def pathout=rc.pathToSavedReports+rr.path;
         //****** BEGIN OPEN SAVED SNAPSHOT ************
         clientDocSaved = new ReportClientDocument();
         clientDocSaved.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);       
            // Open report
         println("Reading file in.")
         clientDocSaved.open(pathout, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
           def rowsetController = clientDocSaved.getRowsetController()
         rowsetController.setDefaultNumOfBrowsingRecords(1000000)
         rowsetController.setRowsetBatchSize(1000000)
         rowsetController.setMaxNumOfRecords(1000000)
         //setup metadata
         IRowsetMetaData rowsetMetaData = new RowsetMetaData()
         Fields fields =  clientDocSaved.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getResultFields()
         rowsetMetaData.setDataFields(fields)
         def values = rowsetController.browseFieldValues(fields.get(0), 1000000)
         values.each{value->
            println(value.displayText(new Locale("ENGLISH")))
    Before using the browseFieldValues method I was trying to use a rowsetCursor
                //get the rowset cursor to navigate through the results
                RowsetCursor rowsetCursor = clientDoc.getRowsetController().createCursor(null, rowsetMetaData)
                //navigate through the rowset and log the name and value
                rowsetCursor.moveTo(0)
                while(!rowsetCursor.isEOF()){
                     Record currentRecord = rowsetCursor.getCurrentRecord()
                     //println("current record number: " + rowsetCursor.getCurrentRecordNumber())
                     for(int i=0;i<fields.size();i++){
                          //println("Column - "+fields.get(i).getName())
                          if (currentRecord.size()>0){
                              println(currentRecord.getValue(i))
                     rowsetCursor.moveNext()
    the currentRecord was always an empty list and I did not get any data values at all.
    Am I missing something in using these approaches?
    I'm fairly new to using the Java SDK for CR. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • I backup up my iphone but didnt include password, and now want to restore new handset from backup and keep asking for password but has no idea what it is, pls help

    Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...

    You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone 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 do backups 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 will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.
