Broken laptop and Iphone..how to restore

So in a span of a couple days, my iphone 5 died and so did my laptop. I have a new phone and installed itunes on new laptop BUT I need to be able to access my old restore points from my old laptop. I was able to have the hard drive copied to an external so I still have my old itunes folder. Is there a way to restore my new phone from an old backup on a new laptop? When the old phone worked, I backed up everything to the old computer. Now neither are alive and I lost thousands of pics.

Device backups are stored at \Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.
If you copy this folder from your recovered hard drive into your current profile then open iTunes then hopefully you should see the device backups listed under Edit > Preferences > Devices.
If they don't show automatically then I'm sure there is a way to coerce iTunes into recognizing them.

  • How do I get an adapter for a laptop and iPhone to use them in New Zealand and Australia?

    How do I gwet an adapter for a laptop and Iphone to use in New Zealand and Australia?

    For the iPhone the regular power adapter will work worldwide. All you need is a plug aapter. 99% of all laptop power packs are also universal. (All Apple laptops certainly are). Look at the label. If it says 120-240 volts, 50/60 Hz it will work anywhere in the world. Again, all you need is a converter for the prongs on the plug.

  • Can I sync a desktop, laptop and iPhone?

    I want to sync my desktop, laptop and iPhone - I am able to sync 2 of the 3 - but not all 3 of them.
    Is it possible to sync them all?
    If not, if I bookmark something on the one that isn't synced, then it won't be added to my iphone (for example).
    Thank you!

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • My iPad is not connecting to the wifi although my laptop and iPhone are. the screen saysno internet connection

    My iPad has stopped connecting to my wifi and says No Internet Connection, even though I have 3 bars wifi and my laptop and iPhone in the same room are connected

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Sync contacts on laptop and iPhone

    How do I sync my contacts with laptop and iPhone over iCloud? Updated contacts 24 hours ago on laptop, iPhone contacts didn't change. What do I do?

    It's either the connection from the laptop to icloud or from icloud to iphone that's the problem.  To find the answer, do the following...
    Using a computer's browser log into icloud.com and then look at the contacts page.  If the edits show up there, then the problem is from icloud to iphone.  If edits are not there, then the problem is from laptop to icloud.
    Whichever device the problem points to, verify that it is logged into the right icloud account and that Contacts is turned on.  (System preferences>icloud on mac or Settings>icloud on ios device.

  • I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

    About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
    About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
    I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
    My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
    any help appreciated - thanks

    With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
    It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.
