Can I restore Older OS Backup (Umbrella Icon) Files on iDisc with TimeMach?

Here is my horror story ... my old G4 Laptop Hard Drive crashed. (It's not that bad ... cause my wife was forced to allow me to buy this new iMac.)
I faithfully backed up using the old backup on the older OS that had the umbrella icon. Problem is, we don't have another Mac with that particular program.
QUESTION: Is is possible to restore that information on my iDisc to my new iMac?

Click here and use the software to restore it. The Backup service included with MobileMe and Time Machine are separate products.

  • Can you restore from a backup that was made on a previous version of iOS?

    Hello.
    I had an iPhone 3GS unning whatever the latest proper version of iOS currently is at the time of writing (4.3.5, is it?) but on Saturday I was on a rather drunken night out and I lost my phone.
    Silly me.
    But I was out of contract and the new iPhone (4S or 5 or whatever) is going to be announced on Tuesday next week (just been confirmed by Apple today) so I'm just going to make do with an old, spare Nokia until the new iPhone is available in the UK.
    Once the new iPhone launches I will buy it, plug it into iTunes and just restore from backup and I'm back in business.
    Except for one thing... The new iPhone will have iOS 5 installed and my last backup before I lost my 3GS was done on iOS 4.3.5.
    Is this going to be a problem or can you restore from a backup made with an older version of the OS?
    I've never done it before so I don't know.

    You "should" have no problem doing that. I say should, because you can't restore a backup made with a higher iOS on a device running a lower iOS, I.E. - you can't restore a backup made from a device running, let's say iOS 4.3.5 on a device running iOS 4.2.10. However, iOS 5.0 will present many new features and since it has not been released, I have no way of stating with certainty that doing as you plan will not present any problems. Past history indicates it won't, but we'll have to wait & see.

  • HT4859 How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    Hi, kformagg
    I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
    It worked very well.

    You cannot.  That is the point of encrypting the backup.

  • I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents?

    I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents? I am planning to transition to a Mac so using the iCloud seems to make the most sence.

    No, it is not a backup method at all.  If you delete a sync'd file on any device, you delete it permanently from iCloud.  That by its very essence is not a backup solution therefore.  A backup solution does not automatically and simultaneiously delete the file everywhere when it is deleted from the original source.
    iCloud is strictly a syncronization tool for using files on multiple internet connected devices.

  • Can not restore older backups

    Purchased a Macbook Pro Retina (MBP) 15", running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.   Trying to restore latest backup via Time Machine from my old Macbook Air (MBA).  Was also running 10.8.2 on my Macbook Air (mid 2011 13").  Using same Buffalo Thunderbolt external HD for backups that I used for old Macbook Air.
    So tried to restore latest MBA backup onto MBP Retina.  Can see the old backups on the TM timeline but I can not navigate to the actual backup.  Verified external HD and repaired but everything checks out ok.  Made sure to connect to Macbook Air backups on Time Machine.  Even performed a full backup on the newer MBP. 
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Maybe these will help:

  • Can I restore an iPhone backup from a Mac in a Windows PC?

    I have copied the files from Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup from my Mac to a USB stick and I have to use these backup files on a Windows PC.
    Will these files from an iTunes for Mac work on an iTunes for Windows?
    Thanks,
    Rafael

    You can restore the backups to a device running the same or a newer iOS version, but not an older one. For example, if a backup was made from iOS 8.2, it can be restored to a device running 8.2 or 8.3, but not 8.1.3 or earlier.

  • Restore older version backup

    Hi,
    I started to install the new iphone os this evening.  It was taking awhile, I was on the phone with my mom and wanted to help her try to find an old purchase so logged in itunes as her.  Well the download finished an it tried to install but I'm assuming got confused since I was logged in as her.  I signed out and logged in as me, but I got a message it was in recovery mode and the only option was to restore to factory settiing.  I didn't think this would be a problem since I could restore from backup.  Well, when I tried to restore from backup it said I could not because the backup did not complete.  Now even if I right click on the iphone in itunes to look at older versions, only ones from after this happened appear.  I back up my iphone all the time and am hoping I could somehow access a version from earlier than this evening.  I back up to icloud...is there a way to get to previous versions????  Would more appear if I installed the previous OS?  I have backed up to my computer in the past, but don't have a "Mobile" folder in "Application Support". If I can't restore I will lose every single text message, and the work I did in 1Password yesterday than I have not synced to my computer.  I am so sick about this loss I will have to take, and because I'm beating myself up for not recognizing the problem that would occur, and for not being able to use a backup since I make it a regular practice to back up.  I AM SOOO HOPING SOMEONE WILL COME TO THE RESCUE!!!!!  PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Michelle

    I can't believe this, but I GOT EVERYTHING BACK!!!
    For some reason the title of the oldest backup was 5:51 PM.  BUT on closer inspection it was saved at 3:21 PM.  I restored to it and it was indeed from this afternoon!
    YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Can I restore an iCloud backup from a different iOs version?

    I have like all these backups from previous iPhones. My question is: Can I restore a backup of these on any iOS version or do I need to have the same iOS version that i had on those iPhones?

    You can restore the backups to a device running the same or a newer iOS version, but not an older one. For example, if a backup was made from iOS 8.2, it can be restored to a device running 8.2 or 8.3, but not 8.1.3 or earlier.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC?

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES IPHONE BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC? THE REASON IS BECAUSE I HAVE TEXTFREE TEXT MESSAGES THAT I NEED FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WHEN I RESTORE IT FROM MY MACBOOK IT DOESNT INSTALL THE TEXTFREE BECAUSE I HAD DELETED ALL MY APPS IN ITUNES FROM IT. I HAVE ALL THE APPS ON MY DESKTOP MAC BUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT ONLY THE BACKUPS FROM THE MACBOOK AND IMPORT TO MY MAC DESKTOP. THE DESKTOP MAC IS THE ONE THAT HAS ALL OF MY LATEST BACKUPS. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. THANKYOU

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
