Can I restore part of a device backup?

Hi there,
I have some backups of my iPhone in iTunes, but I don't want to restore them totally. I'm only interested in the information I had in some of the apps. Is it possible to restore partially?
Thanks
TM

No, you cannot.  All or nothing.

    If you're not a registered developer, it means you've stolen Apple's software.  Now you come to an Apple forum and ask for help?  You're lucky you're not being prosecuted!

    Hi Xkandrux
    Do you mean if I go to edit-preference-device and delete all the recent backup except the older backup I want then it will appear when I select "Restore backup " ?

  • I have replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Can I restore a complete Time Machine backup

    I have replaced my old hard drive on a MacBook Pro midyear 2010 with a new SSD drive. I have a complete system backup of my old drive in an external hard drive using Time Machine.
    Questions that I would like to get answered.
    1) Can I connect my external hard drive to the macbook pro and use that to boot up my machine by pressing and holding down the Options key? Once booted up successfully, can I use Disk Utility to format the new SSD and then restore the complete time machine backup?
    2) If that is not possible, can I use my old drive which I can connect using a USB adapter and use that to boot up by following the same strategy as listed in Step#1 above?
    3) If neither options are possible, do I need to use a bootable USB drive for Mavericks OS X to boot up the machine,
    I have Mavericks OS X ( 10.9.6) and I do not have a DVD of the OS.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Let me first document the steps that did not work and then I will document the steps that worked.
    1) Replaced the hard drive with SSD.
    2) Connected the original hard drive using a USB adapter to the MacBook to make it behave like an external device.
    3) Powered on the machine and on hearing the chime pressed Command-R to start in recovery mode.
    4) Chose the Disk Utility option to erase and format the SSD. The format chosen was Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    5) Once the formatting was done, then clicked on the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility
    6) In the Source field, dragged my original hard drive from the left pane and placed it in the field
    7) On the destination field, choose the new SSD drive. Clicked on "Restore". Gave me a warning, accepted the warning and the restore was under way.
    8) I had 236 GB to restore so took 3.5 hours before it was done.
    9) Disconnected the external hard drive ( my original internal HDD), shut down the machine and powered on again.
    10) Heard the chime and after that it was a white screen with no Apple logo.
    Was visibly upset and started thinking what my next move will be. Then tried these steps
    1) Again powered off the machine.
    2) Connected my internal HDD once more as an external drive
    3) Powered on and on hearing the chime, pressed Command-R as before
    4) Once the OS X utilities screen popped up, this time chose Install OS X
    5) Erased the contents of SSD once more and reformatted it using Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    6) Installed OS X by following the prompts.
    7) Once the OS was installed, I was presented with an option on how to transfer data to this new Mac
    8) Chose the option to move the data from my original HDD.
    9) Took another 3 hours to move the data.
    10) Removed the original HDD once the transfer was complete, powered down the machine and started it once more.
    11) Booted successfully and all my content is now accessible on the new SSD.
    Moral of the story - It is the spirit that counts.

  • Can not restore from all Time Machine backup locations

    I've just set up Time Machine in Mountain Lion to rotate backups between a Time Capsule (existing) and a Synology NAS (new).
    When I select "Enter Time Machine" only the backups created on the NAS are shown.
    How can I make Time Machine show restore points from both devices, or at least select a Time Machine location to restore from?
    Backups are rotating and operating between the two without any issues.

    You have to use the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.

  • How can I restore my iphone to a backup that's not listed in the drop down menu

    I updated my iphone and everything was removed. I attempted to restore it however the only backups that are available when I have the iphone logged into itunes is the one from today. How can I apply an older backup say 1 to 2 days ago to the drop down menu of the restore button? Right now the only thing that's showing up is the one for today and that's abslolutely not the one I want or need. And before the question is asked no I didn't save it to icloud.

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • 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:

  • I previously owned an iPad. I want to restore my iBook collection from my iPad to my Macbook. I can only see my collections but not the books. How can I restore it from my iPad backup?

    I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
    Can anyone give me a solution to this.

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • How can I restore part of a library from vault?

    Hi All, I have a backup-restore problem here.
    I have a vault that was current *before my vacation*. I have since added several hundred pictures and done some keywording and photo editing.
    Then I accidentally deleted a project (I thought I was deleting a single picture! ugh!). This project is now in the trash, but it also exists in my vault back at home.
    I really only want the pictures and Aperture metadata concerning a single project. The instructions for restoring vaults indicate I can only restore the entire library. I don't want to do that because that sounds like it will clobber my new pictures from this vacation.
    The important things here are that 1) I want the metadata and versions of the deleted files, which I assume are stored in the vault along with the masters, (I.e., not only the masters, which are available in the trash) and 2) I don't have enough hard drive space to have two copies of my library on my computer.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    nathan

    Back from vacation!
    That sounds pretty easy, RB.
    I do have a follow-up. The project that I deleted was pretty large. Now that I've copied it to my local hard drive, the amount of free space on the hard drive is less than the size of the dangling project. Will this be a problem when I import the project? When I import a project, will Aperture make a copy in the library, or will it merely absorb the project as a whole, never needing to make a second copy?
    thanks,
    nathan

  • 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

    Hello,
    SQL never block you ,you can restore backup with proper user authorization(You can not restore SQL 2008 backup in SQL 2005 ).
    and whenever you want to login in SAP then first you upgrade the database then you will login.
    in which version you want work in SAP ?
    Thanks
