Can I backup iOS8 data to an iOS7 device?

Recently, after warranty granted me a replacement iPod Touch, I realised how smoothly it ran iOS7 in contrast to iOS8 which I (stupidly) updated my previous iPod to. I had backed up my iOS8 iPod to iTunes - as well as iCloud - to transfer to the new one, but what I want is to download most of the data (if not some) to my new iPod without updating to iOS8.
I only really care about getting my photos back - is there any way to download them without slowing my iPod down with that update?

You can only restore the backup to a device running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that was backed up, which would mean you would have to update it to iOS 8.1. The only other option is to purchase and use 3rd party software to extract your photos and other data from your iTunes backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

can i backup the data from a broken iphone to my new iphone?

Just back the phone up to icloud and restore iPhone from backup on the new phone. When you are going through the set up process it ask you if you want to set the phone up as new or restore from a backup. You do not nee itunes at all or anything hooked up.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Satellite L350 - Can't install Vista and how can I backup my data?

Hi to all
I have a Satellite L350 and recently I've installed Vista Home Premium in a different language (the OEM Vista was in English) hoping I could activate it with the OEM key, but I didn't succeed.
When I wanted to re-install the OEM Vista from WinRE I realized I can't access it and then I had a "brilliant" idea that if format the C partition with the Acronis Disc Director it would boot from WinRE. It didn't.
Fortunately Ive burned the recovery discs before. The only problem is that the recovery disc formats the entire HDD and I have data on the second partition I've would like to retrieve.
I tried to install again the retail Vista to backup the data from the second partition (yes, I'm an idiot, I didn't do it before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with a low dash blinking.
I really need that data, please help!

Hi!
I can tell you why you cant install a retail version of Vista by using the product key. This is pretty easy because the key on the bottom side on the notebook belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and cant be used by a retail version.
However, I think the best way to backup your data would be that you put the HDD in an external HDD case and then you can backup your data on another PC or notebook.
Such external HDD cases are not expensive but very useful.

Can't receive the data from my hardware device by LAN

Hi!
background: For a testing task, I set up a hardware testing platform that including of a power supply device, a hardware to be tested(Device Under Test), a power Meter and a PC.   i build a program to control the hardwares, and they communicate with each other by LAN. at first, the program as a client can normally communicates with my hardware after initializing all hardwares. And then the program turns off the power of my device and turn on power again after delay 60 seconds. after initiantion, my hardware can execute the command which is received from the program, but the program can't receive the data from my hardware. Why my program cannot receive the data from my hardware, after the second time turn on the power of my hardware? the program as client code as below:
int CVICALLBACK ClientRRH (unsigned handle, int event, int error, void *callbackData)
char temp[64]={0};
int ReceiveSize=0;
char *Pos;
switch(event)
   case TCP_DATAREADY:
    if( (ReceiveSize=ClientTCPRead (rrhHandle, readRRHBuffer, 4096, 2000))<0)
                 SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TEXTBOX_INFO,"Read RRH trace error!\n");
                return 0;
    else
     if (ReceiveSize>4096)
      readRRHBuffer[4096]= '\0';
     else
       readRRHBuffer[ReceiveSize] = '\0';
    if (Flag)
      Pos = strstr(readRRHBuffer,orderString);
      if(Pos)
       //strncpy(temp,(Pos+ strlen(orderString)),maxSize);
       _mbsnbcpy(temp,(Pos+ strlen(orderString)),maxSize);
       sprintf(receData,temp);
       *temp=0;
       Flag=0;
       maxSize=0;
       *orderString=0;
    SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TEXTBOX_INFO,readRRHBuffer);
    *readRRHBuffer=0;
            break;
         case TCP_DISCONNECT:
   rrhHandle =error;
            SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TEXTBOX_INFO,"TCP Clienterver has closed connection!\n");
            SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_LED_RRH, 0);
            break;
return 0;
int RRH_ini(char *RRH_address)
    ViChar Buffer[200];
    char temp[200];
    int status =0;
if((ConnectToTCPServer (&rrhHandle, 7006, rrhAddr, ClientRRH, NULL, 1000)<0))
    SetCtrlVal(panelHandle,PANEL_LED_RRH,0);
    SetCtrlVal(panelHandle,PANEL_TEXTBOX_INFO,"Connection to RRH fail...\n");
    else
     SetCtrlVal(panelHandle,PANEL_LED_RRH,1);
     SetTCPDisconnectMode (rrhHandle, TCP_DISCONNECT_AUTO);
     sprintf(RRHCommand,"%s\n","asb");
     ClientTCPWrite (rrhHandle, RRHCommand, strlen(RRHCommand), 0);
     Delay(0.2);
     sprintf(RRHCommand,"%s\n","asb#1234");
     ClientTCPWrite(rrhHandle,RRHCommand,strlen(RRHCommand),0);
     Delay(0.2);
     SetCtrlVal(panelHandle,PANEL_TEXTBOX_INFO,"Connection to RRH successful!\n");
   return 0;

Yes that's exactly my problem. The reader sends bytes but without a delimiter. So for example the greeting message I've mentioned earlier "iiAWID..." happens to be 32 bytes, therefore I made the following changes to the code:
public void receive(int x){     // x = expected length of bytes being received
boolean done = false ;
int limit = x ;
int counter = 0;
try {
while (!done)
if (in.ready())
buffer.add(in.read()) ;
counter = counter + 1 ;
if (counter == limit)
done = true ;
}catch(IOException e) { // some code for handling}
and this works fine, however, I'll probably have problems reusing this method later on, because some commands that I will send to the reader will result in responses of indefinite sizes. So I may have a response of length 12 one time and of length 8 the other. but between each response there's a maximum delay of 100ms... is there any way I can utilize that piece of information to improve my code?

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

I have a password issue and can't get my gmails on my IOS7 devices any more

Hi, there,
Well, i have a problem with my devices, iphone and ipad2, both ios 7, and the issue is that i renewed my google account password and updated it on my devices but i cannot get my gmail emails any more and i get a Cannot Get Mail message and i'm asked to go back to settings on my device and put in my details again, which i have already done ten and more times, and still, to no use.
I even thought maybe i am not typing the right password, so i checked it again on my laptop computer and all was fine there.
Well, i hope there is a kind of explanation to this.
Thanks a lot,
Totoo

Sprint says Q10 can not access internet/data in Chas/Hunt WV area

So I upgraded to a new Q10 and spent a few hours loading and configuing all my emails, etc.
Driving to work this morning, I noted that there was no emails received after I left my house (wifi-enabled). Tried to open the Browser and received the error stating there was no connection to the internet. Wasted most of the workday fiddling with the settings --- no joy. So on the way home I stop at the Sprint store. I walk in and showed the guy my phone and said, "I need some help with this."
He immediately said, "No internet or data?" Dayum. He went on to say that BB 3G/4G v10 won't work in this area and that BB was aware of the problem. Something about Sprint sharing towers with Intelos and the phones won't recognize something. Over my head, but all other smartphones work here...just the BB Q10 won't.
Really bites --- when I'm on WiFi the thing rocks and is everything I need in a smartphone. So much better than my daughters iPhone 5...except for this.

Not sure if the same but
my brother is unable to get Data on his Sprint iphone unless its on LTE and most where he is is not LTE enabled.
It still makes calls and recieves calls but no data.

Can't sync my data from my mobile to my desktop

I re-installed my firefox on my PC, and tried to sync my data back to it from my Android device. The data won't sync because of a wrong recovery key. I have my recovery key and I know its the right one. How can I move my data from my Android device to my PC safely.

hello, on your android device, go into the systems ''settings app > accounts & synchronisation > firefox sync > pair device''. then on your desktop go to ''firefox > options > sync > set up firefox sync > i have an account'', enter the 3x4 digit code that is displayed into your android device and finish the steps in order to pair the two devices.

You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

iPhone 4s 16GB running iOS 7.1.2. Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
Have a great day,
-Joe
