Back up/restore stuff up
I backed up my phone instead if restoring and have lost all contacts. They are not saved on my computer. Any chance of restoring my phone from a preious back up instead of the last one?
See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Note that syned media like app and music have to be in your iTunes library since synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

my ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix, other than take it to apple.
thanks!The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?
Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences. -
If we set up an iPhone 5 as a new device, is there a way to go back and restore from the previous iPhone 4?

How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?
Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

When I am restoring backup data for my iPhone 4 in the end of back up restore it show error message " back up can't be restored" , please advice what I can do to restore my backup
That usually means that there is something wrong with the backup and it cannot be used. You can try restoring the backup again, but if you continue to get the same message all you can do is restore to a different backup, if you have one.

I backed up my sons Iphone 4 and tried to get it to Icloud with no luck, I figured it backed up to his itunes, I connected to itunes and logged him in under his account. I thought it was his back up but it was mine . How can I get his 2.4 gig back that is on his phone to restore his phone. can I do it right from the phone . I really need to get this fixed an get his back up restored to his phone. thanks
ON both devices go to settings - message - send&receive - uncheck or remove the appl id.
In the same settings - start a new conversation - remove or uncheck the apple id. -
How do I know if iCloud really backed up my stuff?
I have recently backed up my stuff with Icloud again and I have less stuff now then I did before but the number of GB has always been the same and has never changed. Does this mean it didnt back up my stuff?
But how do I know it really did that? Because I have 5GB worth of things on my iPod but it only say it stores 3.1GB of it?

if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?
Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Pls i was trying to update my iphone 3G to software version 4.2 using itune. The process did not complete succesfully. I then decided to restore back my restore my prevoius version 4.1, it stopped with an error code1015. Pls i need help
Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and download iOS 4.2.1 for the iPhone 3G. Perform a restore, but hold down ALT when clicking restore. Restore from this file you just downloaded. You should not get 1015 as you are upgrading, but if you get a different error, report back.

HT1766 what is that pic of a lock icon on back up restore options
what is that pic of a lock icon on back up restore options
It could mean that the backup is encrypted.... If you're referring to seeing this in iTunes, that is.

If I download iOS 5 do I need to back up the stuff on my iPad before doing this?
Do I need to back up the stuff on my iPad before downloading iOS 5.1?
It's advisable to copy any important content off it first - if it's an iPad 2 then it will be updated to iOS 6 not iOS 5.1 (so you will lost the built-in YouTube app and the Maps will change). You can copy any purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can also copy photos and any important documents off the iPad e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. Then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
And start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button -

Back up & restore issue after updating to 4.3
Before updating my SP from 4.1 to JB 4.3 I made a backup using tool "Back up & restore" on SD card. But now after updating to JB 4.3 I'm unable to restore that backup. It says "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file".Is there any way resolve this? I need to restore my old Contacts, I don't care about rest of the data.
It's unvelibable!If Sony provides a Backup & Restore tool, it is intended to do exactly as expected: backups that can be restored.
I made backups to be sure all my valueable data is not lost.Now my mobile has been stolen :-(Don't worry, I think, I have a backup of all important data.Nooo!! Say Sony's tool: you have a different version of Android now, so you CAN NOT restore any data.And say: updates the old phone (the stolen one), and make a NEW backup. Ok, it is not admisible! You must provide a tool that can restore data without (impossible) conditions. This is not a tool, this is a secure way of throw away all of your important data!! I'm very angry! This contacts are not my friends, are business contacts and I'm loosing money because of that >:-(
