Can i merge two iPhone back ups?

I updated my iphone 4 to IOS5 and my adress book got deleted, can merge the newest backup that has all my notes and apps to my older backup that has my contact list? or how can I transfer my address book to my mac? i'm having a hard time doing this please help, step by step

Got it. You can match the dates of the other two (from iTunes > Preferences > Devices tab) with the modified dates of the folders within the Backups folder in the above location. Hopefully, you can recover the missing one from an external HDD backup/Time Machine, etc.
Note that iTunes only maintains one backup of each device - if a sync is cancelled during the backup, for example, that backup is corrupted and will not show up as available when performing a Restore.

    I'm sorry, but I don't think I understand. How does he know that two screws are missing inside? He should have this taken care of where it was purchased. He cannot have the device repaired or replaced in the US.

  • Can you merge two apple ids

    I have two Apple id's. Not sure why. but one is for my iPod that was set up a long time ago and what I use for iTunes. The is for my iPhone. I want to use the itunes cloud storage so i can listen to my music on my iPhone but i'm guessing that won't work if you have two id's. Of couse they'd need to match. Can you merge two id's? I would like to simplify anyway and just have one.
    Thanks.

    Nothing happens on your iphone when you delete the iCloud backup.

  • Merging two iPhone accounts

    I'm trying to merge two IDs on two phones but I'm going to convert one phone to the same ID if I convert that phone to the new ID ,does all my information on that phone go away? I'm just trying to merge two iPhone contents from each phone.

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  You can use a new Apple ID on your phone (in Settings>Store for example) and it will not delete your media unless the computer you sync with is not authorized for the new Apple ID (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).  If it isn't, media purchased with the ID will be removed from the phone when you sync.  Any apps purchased under the other ID will continue to require you to enter the password for that ID when updated as apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them (regardless of the ID set in Settings>Store).

  • Can i bay two iPhones every day or every customer account ? because i need more that two

    can i bay two iPhones every day or every customer account ? because i need more that two

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • Can you have two iphones with separate iclouds on the same itunes account, can you have two iphones with separate iclouds on the same itunes account

    I have one itunes account with mulitple libraries for each device (one iphone, 4 ipods).  The one iphone is connected via the cloud.  everytime a new song or app is added to the account it is placed in all of the libraries.  I want to add another iphone to the acccount when I tried it replaced the contacts with the contacts on the iphone already on the account.  How do I prevent that from happening and can I have two iphones on the same account and use the cloud on both

    iTunes will remember the settings for each device after you set them up for the first time.

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
    What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.
