Back-up and restore issues on iphone 4

Long story short, last week my iphone 4 stopped working and I got a new one (same exact model). However, the cloud settings for some reason would not import meaning none of my contacts, apps etc could be transferred, so I basically had to start afresh. However, today I plugged my iphone into my laptop and was given the option to restore from backup or set up as new iphone. I chose to restore from backup and was able to restore my setting to the last time I updated which was in October which I did. However, the restore seemed to "erase" everything I did since last week (before the restore). Is there anything I can do to recover my imessages and photos from the time between the October update and today? Specifically since I got my new phone last week? thank you

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm actually not sure if I backed up or not because there are photos i took yesterday which show up in my icloud on my laptop. but newer imessages are not appearing.

HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..

How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..

I am guessing you are talking about an encryption password that you placed on the backup you put into iTunes on your computer.
If so, you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup. You will need to recall that password, or you cannot access the backup.

In performing a backup and restore today Ive lost all my contacts, notes, message history etc, can anyone help in trying to restore an older backup?

Not sure if this is part of the problem or not?

Backing up and restoring X2 iphones - having conflict issues

Hi,
My wife and I have been using the 3gs for 2 years and have now upgraded ;-) I pluged mine into itunes and backed it up, then pluged in my new one and restored and it all works fine.
However when I tried to backup my wifes phone and then restored - it just restored as mine again, so we had 2 new phones with all my details on it!!
So I restored to factory setting on the iphone 4s
I have tried uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling but it still has my phones info on it.
Please can you tell me how to back up and restore my wire iphone and for it not to keep using my phones details ??
Thanks Chris.

As long as you are NOT running a production application on Oracle's Hosted site.. You can't really run a scheduler job, since it would usually export stuff to your local server, but you don't have access to that on Oracle's site.. Unless you just want to build a form to output data from your tables, that would push the data down to your workstation, there is no other rel means.. Other hosting companies will allow you to use Sql Developer and such, but then again you are paying to use their site..
Thank you,

Having trouble sync'ing. Receiving Overcapacity error on my 64GB iPhone 5. Backed up and restored but still having sync issues.

I have an iPHone 5 64GB with iTunes 11 installed on an 2 yr old HP laptop running Windows 7. I am having sync'ing issues. I am receiving an overcapacity error I have not seen before even though I can manually remove audiobooks I have previously loaded to get the overcapacity down below the available 64GB limit. I have removed most of them now and can get the sync to begin. Not sure if it will actually complete. But now I do not have but a relatively few audio books loaded. I have backed up and restored to see it that helps but am still getting the same overcapacity error. Seems whatever I had included was doubled in an "other" category. Also, in the recent upgrade to iTunes, it takes forever to sync when I change content. Sync'ing takes a lot longer than before. Has anyone else experienced similar performance issues.

Lawrence Finch has previously provided the following helpful info...
"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages (*** this can take up a lot of space)
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
If you have a lot of text messages stored, that can make "Other" very large. Another problem area is corrupted files. When app and data files become corrupted, they may end up in "Other". To fix that, perform a restore from a recent backup. That prevents corrupt files from showing up.

I generally back up and restore my iphone every week... and this time i backed it up..and i can see that backup time and file size.. now.. when i try to restore my iphone.. i select the back up and now it is taking forever to restore. help me

but earlier i din need to do any of it.!!! it worked really fine .!!!
please help me..!!! i got some important details in this back up.... please help me.!!!

Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up. What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud. Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

HT201269 Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored, perfect. New phone is connected to our wireless but is still giving me the "no service" in the upper left corner. Help????

Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored smoothly. Still getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner of new phone. Help?.....

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

HT1414 How do I get recent pictures back if I restored my old iPhone and it brought back the old pictures but the new ones are gone

How do I get recent pictures back if I restored my old iPhone and it brought back the old pictures but the new ones are gone?!?

Hi
I have been allowed to unlock my iphone recently by AT/T.
I want to keep my existing ios (5.0.1) as it is on my iphone now.
I've been told to back up and restore by itunes but I am worry of updating my ios to the latest version automatically.
Please let me know how to keep the existing ios during the unlocking process.
Thanks and nest regards

Restoring your phone, as is required to complete the unlock of your phone WILL update your iOS to the most current version. There's no way around this.
Either you keep 5.0.1 and a locked phone, or you get 6.0 and an unlocked phone. Your choice.

I have the email confirming iphone is unlatched but need to unlock through itunes. To do this, do I use old sim or new sim? I have backed up and restored but there is no message from itunes saying the phone is unlocked? Please help

I am having problems unlocking my iphone 5. I have received an email from my old provider confirming that the phone is being unlatched and I need to complete the process through itunes. I have backed up and restored but I have not received a message from itunes stating the phone is unlocked. Do I use the old or new sim card while connecting to itunes or does it not matter. I dont know what else to do to finish the unlock?

You can use either, but if you restored to the backup, then you will not see the message. You need to restore the device as new first, then restore the backup. Make sure you can continue with the unlock first. Many of the emails report, "Your unlock has been approved, restore your device in iTunes in 24 hours", or something like that. If it is ready to go, then as I said earlier, restore as new first, and then you should see the confirmation.

IPhone updated, backed up, and restored but everything is GONE!!!!! HELP!

Hi, I recently updated an iphone, I got a little box asking if I wanted to back up and restore (it would restore all media, contants, and everything) but it took forever, and when it was finally done, everything was gone!!! I read some forums on the interenet and they were all saying to right click and press restore from backup but my most recent backup is not listed! I am for sure it backed up because I sat there for hours and stared at it backing up! I need help and greatly appreciate it if someone could please please help. Thank you !

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.
