Backup restoring

HI,
I am looking for help, I restored my phone to factory settings, as I wanted to restore the data from my imac. My problem is that when I try to restore th latest backup, it requests a password, I am assuming the password is the one that goes with my apple ID. but it won't accept it. I have tried all the passwords that I can remember that I have ever used, but it's no use. Is there a way I can change the password or is it a totally different password?? I am desperate for help.

In what part of the process does it ask for you password? It can either be asking for the password to the iCloud account (Apple ID) used on the device before the restore or if your iTunes backup was encrypted it will be asking for the password for the encrypted backup.
If it is asking for the iCloud password you should see something like "Enter password for b*******@hotmail.com" and then you need to enter the password for the Apple ID with the corresponidng email address. (if you email address is [email protected] it should say e*******@gmail.com)
Are you absolutely sure wich Apple ID you need to enter the password for? There could also be issues if you have changed primary email for you Apple ID at any point. Then you might need to follow this article iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Either way, if your iPhone requires a password to the iCloud account it is locked to you will have to figure out which iCloud account that is and then enter correct password or reset password if you don't remember.

  • How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

    Hi everyone
    Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer?  Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one. 
    I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
    Any input will be appreciated
    Thanks
    Charlie

    First of all, thanks for quick reply.
    How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud?  I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
    I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
    any thoughts?

  • I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS.  I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts.  How?

    Current phone 4S with service from one provider.  Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative.  Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

    Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
    The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
    And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there.  No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact.  Maybe it can't done.  A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit and the Backup & Restore....

    I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit.  So, all the backups that did not complete and  has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use.  All of my documents, pictures, music, original
    music materials, etc., are all gone.  Can't even open the error-ed backups!  Can my system be restore to it's original settings before the backup fiasco?  I am at a lost to what can be done!

    The only thing you can do is drop your backups and plug your device to your computer to make another backup.

  • Backup restoring procedure in system9

    anybody has documents or links which talks about backup / restore complete system9 products . ?

    Hi,
    I tell what I usually do.
    I have EssBase and its apps in a server, and SharedServices in another one, so that, I have to do different backups.
    First, make a Full backup for the ...\Hyperion folder with any backup tool (ntbackup and/or veritas in my case) and then, differential backups.
    In the other server a use a script to make local copies of the SharedServices folder to mantain 1 copy per day.
    On the other hand, you have to backup you SQL bases. I use de ms SQLServer tool for that.
    This is a copy of my script to backup SharedServices (anyone who "lost" OpenLDAP service knows what I'm talking about..) that I scheduled to run every day. Please note that SharedServices has its own script to backup the directory, and it works fine.
    ++NOTE: %HYPBKP% is a system variable that I set in windows
    echo "OPENLDAP Backup Log File" >SS_BKP.log
    echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
    Date /T >>SS_BKP.log
    Time /T >>SS_BKP.log
    echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
    cd %HYPBKP%
    RMDIR /S /Q SharedServices-OLD
    REN SharedServices-7 SharedServices-OLD
    REN SharedServices-6 SharedServices-7
    REN SharedServices-5 SharedServices-6
    REN SharedServices-4 SharedServices-5
    REN SharedServices-3 SharedServices-4
    REN SharedServices-2 SharedServices-3
    REN SharedServices-1 SharedServices-2
    REN SharedServices SharedServices-1

    I hope this help you.
    Good luck

  • Backup/Restore from PC Suite with N71 worthless

    Hi,
    I have used Backup from PC Suite (Version 6.82.22.0) to backup my N71 data before I gave the N71 to a repair shop. The N71 camera was not working.
    After four weeks I got a N71 replacement. A brand new N71 with a different serial number which is not good because some S60 apps now no longer work.
    But anyway the real surprise I got was after I run Restore from PC Suite to get all data back. The Restore finished without any error but almost nothing useful was restored!!
    No Contacts, No Messages, No phone Setup (Themes, Bluetooth Config, Apps).
    Huh???
    Is this really how Backup/Restore from PC Suite with a Symbian S60 3rd Nokia N71 us supposed to work??
    If yes, than Backup is utterly worthless!!
    I am not aware that I did something wrong. I have used Backup regularly and never got any error messages.
    But it is painfully obvious that the most important data from the phone are not saved!
    All the Restore did was restore some audio and image files and the Notes contents.
    Regards,
    Gagome

    you can check the backup log for the details of the backuped content. or try this tool to view the content of the .nbu.

  • I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

  • Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

    In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
    It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
    As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
    I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
    In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
    Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
    But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
    I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
    Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
    Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
    Thanks.

    I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
    I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
    In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
    From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
    I've tested other methods as well.
    Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
    impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

  • Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

    Hello.
    I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
    Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum!  Lots of good stuff though!
    This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
    I'll try to keep this brief.  Please hear me out!
    From another post ...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
    Kwopau stated ...
    if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
    and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
    The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
    from your last back up and everything will be on there.
    End of quote ...
    Here is my situation.
    I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
    I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
    I do not use sync.  I  manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
    I have an HP laptop.
    A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
    The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
    I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
    Let me rephrase that.
    I can connect with iTunes.  I can see all that is on the iPhone.
    When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
    The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
    Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
    Most commands appear to be grayed  out,  I can't add or delete anything.
    I do not have anything in current  iTunes library at the moment. 
    My fear is this.
    If I do the erase and sync as suggested  (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library,  will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
    If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
    I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
    I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
    I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
    If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
    I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
    Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
    Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
    Bob

    Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
    Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
    Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
    This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.

    This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
    You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.

  • Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

    Hi, I have a couple of questions.

    Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

  • What doesn't iTunes backup? Backup\restore resolves network comm problem

    What doesn't iTunes backup? An app of mine is having issues with certain communications, and backup/restore resolves issue. Deleting and re-downloading the app doesn't resolve. This isn't acceptable solution, so I want to know what isn't backed up to figure out what is going on.

    An interesting scenario. I thought deleting the app deleted everything, not only the app filesystem but NSUserDefaults, associated keychain items, etc. Does it matter whether you delete the app in iTunes or on the device?
    Rather than ask what iTunes doesn't backup, start with what is does backup.  See iTunes will back up the following information on this page for an extensive list.

  • Backup - restore and missing app

    Hi,
    I upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 during this progress I was prompted "backup your Iphone?" yes to my Mac airbook external drive.
    After upgrades I was missing all (notes,pictures adresser etc)
    I tried to restore but Itunes only pop´s up an older backup.
    Where can I find the newest backup?
    secondly
    I miss a App (100 dollar) where can I find this without repurchacing?

    I had a 'glitch' during a power outage that required me to restore from the backup. The app folders appeared only where a website shortcut had been stored in the folder. After investigating what got restored and what didn't, I attempted a second restore from backup (no sync operation attempted). The results were the same. I'm actually glad the results were the same in some respects since it indicates a consistent (but incomplete) backup/restore operation. Note, even the folders that did get recreated (with website shortcuts) did not have their apps correctly restored, there appeared to be no pattern to what happen.
    To the persons who did the 'double restore'; how many apps do you have on your iPhone?. Was it less than the iOS 3 limit of 180 (including Apple Apps)? I have about 300 apps which means they don't 'fit', without folders, within the 180 app limit. I'm thinking that the double backup worked since you had less than the 180 app limit, but I'm not sure without knowing the number of apps you have.
    The unanswered question is: Does iTunes backup the app folder configuration and can it correctly restore the folder configuration (apps correctly placed in folders)? Since I had the glitch iTunes has been upgraded twice (if I recall). Did the upgrades fix the app folder issue? I don't really want to be the one to test this since it takes hours to rebuild the folder/app configuration.
    Thanks for any help.
