Can I restore lost Reminders from a backup?

Hi, After recently setting up my sync via iCloud for Calendars, I noticed today that all my Reminders have disappeared in this process.
I looked on my iPad, also set up to sync, and it tantalisingly flashed up all my old Reminders when I opened that app for a few seconds.... then they all disappeared as it no doubt synced to iCloud and wiped out the local ones with the empty set on iCloud.
Is there a way I can restore just my Reminders from either a previous backup of my phone (or iPad), or perhaps from Time Machine? Thank you.

Hey. I solved the problem by restoring the ~/Library/Calendars folder with Time Machine on MacBook. Hope this helps you.

Can I restore lost Reminders from a back up?

Hi, After connecting to iCloud last night and setting up my sync for Calendars, I noticed today that all my Reminders have disappeared.
I looked on my iPad, also set up to sync, and it tantalisingly flashed up all my Reminders when I opened that app.... then they all disappeared as it no doubt synced to iCloud and wiped out the local ones with the empty set on iCloud.

No sorry, couldn't find anything on it.
I manually reentered them. Since then I have changed over to using Wunderlist as my app of choice for reminders. More functionality and better support. :-)

How can I restore my data from a backup with different Phone name?

I recently had to restore my iphone which erased all the data. I have a backup of that data in iTunes and I want to restore it to the phone. However when I connected the phone to iTunes the first time after resetting everything, I accidently chose to create a new phone instead of restore settings and data from the backup.
My question is, how can I restore the iPhone from this previous backup? My iPhone is currently called "untitled playlist" and the backup is called "JC's iPhone".
Thanks,
Jeremy
ps. Sorry for posting twice. Nobody responded the first time, probably because I had a poor subject.

Jeremy,
If you restore again, you will be prompted to choose a backup or setup as a new phone again. Then you can just choose your old backup.
Hope this helps,

Can you restore an iPhone from a backup that was done from a different iPhone?

Here's the scenario. I've been backing up my iPhone 5 on iTunes so there's a backup file there but that iPhone is damaged and might not be recoverable. If I get a replacement phone, can I still use that backup file to restore the new phone despite the fact that it'll be a different serial number etc. than the phone the backup is based on? Can I restore an iPhone 4 as well as an iPhone 5 from that same backup file?

Hi Guchman,
Yes you can set up a new phone from a backup from another phone as long as the iOS is the same. Here is a support article that should help:

Can't restore new phone from a backup

I went to the Apple store today and had my iPhone 4 replaced under warranty because the sleep button was stuck. The guy told me to come home, plug it into iTunes and choose the restore from previous phone backup option. I did that and halfway through it stopped, and gave me an error. I had no other option but to click "Ok" and next thing I know it went to the page where you sync it and it already put the phone under my name. Now I can't get back to the screen where you restore from a backup! I went into device preferences and the backup from Sunday night from my old phone is still there, but I have no idea how to restore it to my new phone. I really want my pictures back into my camera roll, contacts, texts, and all that back! Does anyone know how to get back to that screen where you choose to restore?
Thank you!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,
Craig

How can I restore deleted emails from iCloud backup?

I have an Earthlink email account that never synced with the server before, so I went a little crazy deleting a bunch of emails. It wasn't until I checked my WebMail that I realized it deleted them from the server, too. I checked with Earthlink and they couldn't do anything for me. But I had an iCloud backup from yesterday that I tried to restore. Except the email account keeps syncing with the server and I'm back to where I started. Is there any way to retrieve this data? It's gotta still be in the backup, right?
Thanks,
Ann

If they were backed up, you can restore your phone from that previous backup. If they weren't backed up, you cannot restore them.

Can I restore a database from a backup that is of older version of SAP B1?

Hi folks,
I had this backup done about two years ago as a template for any new database that I wanted to create. Recently, my SAP B1 had been upgraded to a newer version. As a result, when I was trying to restore from the backup file that was created two years ago, it does not allow me to do so. Any idea how to work around this or is there any alternative I can have? Please help.
Thank you.
Ken

Can't restore iPhone 4s from old backup?

I did a backup on my iPhone 4s on ios 6.1.2. a week ago. My backups size is 6gb. Then I restored to ios 6.1.3, but can't restore from the backup.
The picture is in danish, but notice how it can't find the backup ''Gendan sikkerhedskopi''.
When i'm locating my backup in Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, it shows me 3 folders?
Can I get my files back? Thanksss

Your screen shots are not appearing for me.
As long as the backups are from the same iOS or an older iOS that you currently have on the phone, you should be able to restore from the backup. You cannot restore a newer iOS backup to an older iOS device until you update the device to the same iOS as the backup.
I don't know if the screen shots were visible if it would help, but it sure couldn't hurt to see what you are seeing.

Can I recover lost library from Windows backup file after hard drive crash?

I'm sure this has been visited before, so I'm sorry if this is redundent.
My daughters Windows notebook had to be reformatted because of a severe virus. I had all important files including iTunes songs backed up onto portable Hard Drive. Got her notebook up and running and then restored her songs back to her computer (but not into the original location). Plugged in her iPod Mini and now it shows no files at all on the Mini and iTunes will not access or recognize the songs that I restored
Prior to the restoring she was able to listen to her complete music collection on the iPod Mini.
I still have access to the backup files either on the Hard Drive or in a separate folder from which I restored the first time. Should I completely erase the songs from the notebook now and then access the backup file?
And how do I get the Mini and iTunes to recognize the music once and for all?
Thanks for any advice, help, and suggestions.
Tony

What you will do depends on if you have the "iTUnes Music Library.xml" file on backup. By default this file is stored on
C (Or the drive windows is on)/documents and settings/............/My Documents/My Music/iTunes
If you DO have this file on backup, then you will have to set all the music to its EXACT location it was before reformatting

Can I restore my bookmarks from carbonite backup?

I had to uninstall firefox because it wasn't working.
Now it works, but I lost all my bookmarks. I have files backed up on carbonite, but I don't know if I can reinstall them. There are a lot of files in carbonite labeled "bookmark" but I can't find any that actually restore the bookmarks.

Can I restore lost photos from my camera?

I was transferring pictures from my camera to my computer. I had selected them and was going to drag them to a file on computer but hit delete instead. Is there a way to recover them?

AngelHill, I can understand how this can be concerning. Did you have your photos backed up on your phone/sd or to a social media site like flickr? If they were not backed up then unfortunately they will not be able to be recovered.^SP

How can I restore my dock from a backup after doing a clean install?

I restored the dock plist file as well as the db file (which I had to delete the original first, since it was "in use") but the standard dock remains.

I haven't tried this myself, but I'm guessing that the Dock writes its settings back to disk when it quits, overwriting what's in the restored files. There are two ways you might work around this:
Restore the files, then in the shell enter
killall -9 Dock
If that doesn't work, enter
launchctl remove com.apple.Dock.agent
Restore the files, then log out and log back in.

How can I restore lost videos ????

How can I restore lost videos from about 6 months ago that were sent to me via a message? I tried Itunes backup and it did not bring them back. Very important videos that were lost during an update. HELP!! and thanks!

It was my grandson who lost my videos..supposedly it happened when he was handling and update on my phone. Since then, the videos that my friend messaged to me last summer are gone. I did a backup today that should have included them, but they are still not to be found. And, of course, I really need them and to remake them will cost me a lot of money. Thank you for your help...maybe I am just doing something wrong when I do the backup. Should I use any certain program that will work better than Itunes?
