Can not restore from a backup in Time Capture

I reinstalled my computer because some reason. The automatic time machine was always run on this Mac, and I am sure it did a backup just ten minuets before I started to install.  However, I found that I am not able to restore from backup. I can see the computer name but there is a short phase "No Volumes found in this Backup".
I also tried to open the backup file by Finder from anther Mac, but I failed with a notice "Some resource not available".
How could I do to save my data and files???

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I got a new iphone 6.  When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup.  How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

    I got a new iphone 6.  When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup.  How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • 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.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • IPhone app (shapewriter) is corrupted. App's no longer in the Store. How can I restore from my backup?

    An iPhone app that I love has become corrupted. This app is no longer available in the Store. Can I restore the app from my phone backup? How? Anything to watch out for?
    Shapewriter was purchased by Nuance. As most Dragon users will tell you, Nuance treats its customers badly; apparently it does the same to companies it buys. Soon after they bought Shapewriter, they took it down from the store. Rumor has it that they just bought it as a weapon in some patent battle. Sad: it's a really cool app.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Can you restore from last backup, instead of restore from factory settings?

    To make this short, my phone is having a few problems. They have been happening ever since my last sync. Is it possible to restore from the last backup, or do I need to do a complete restore? And if the latter, what will be missing after the restore- can I just restore and then put all my music/contacts/video/apps back on? Will I lose any content, such as pictures I have taken on the phone, text messages, calendar events? Is that not what the backup is for?
    I believe this is a simple enough question to answer, so thank you in advance!

    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, there are 2 options. From your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    Your iPhone's backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app. All other data transferred to your iPhone from your computer via the iTunes sync process should remain on your computer.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Contact info and calendar events is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for this data and the same for photos in your iPhone's camera roll since your iPhone's backup includes other data.
    When restoring, your iPhone will be erased and the firmware will be reinstalled. After the firmware is installed, you will be prompted to restore from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps, and any photos from your computer.
    If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup or with the data included with the backup, restoring your iPhone from the backup will also restore the problem.

  • How can I restore from icloud backup after activating replacement phone as new

    I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).
    Is there any way to restore my settings from my last iCloud backup?

    Yeah - guess you're right. It just took me hours to figure out what to do/not do. New to iphones and never had to restore before. Maybe Apple could at least include the very simple instructions wjosten  posted. Would have saved me a lot of stress and time....
    Apple does provide instructions.

    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
    iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • Can't restore from older backups

    MacBook Air failed after upgrade to 10.5.4. Reinstalled from original Leopard Mac OS X DVD with the intention of doing full restore from Time Capsule backup immediately prior to update.
    Time Capsule doesn't recognise backups prior to the Leopard reinstallation. Since I used the wrong install disc (standard Leopard rather than MacBook Air version) I can't use Remote Disk and my SuperDrive appears to go unrecognised, so I can't use the "Restore" option from the installation DVD. I can see the backups in the Finder on the Time Capsule disc, I just can't get to them...

    Can you run Migration Assistant and restore from your Time Capsule backup that way?

Please guide me i have studied alot and have read stories about people having same experience and apple helped them alot. I am amazed that i been giving marketing presentations on a brand which is not in my country but heared much "good" about you. and was having great experience of your device. Please dont make it true what i have heared about you.
    Regards.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • Can I restore from iCloud backup to another device?

    My iPod touch 4G logic board snapped in half after soldering it. If I buy a new iPod touch 4G or repalce the logic board can I restore all my purchases to that device or to that new logic board?
    Do you also know where can I purchase a 4th generation logic board for a cheap price? My friend is planning on buying me a logic board of ebay for a cheap price, but there's no guarantee that he'll get it because he's up against a bot. Hopefully it isn't a bot.

    - Yes you can restore you replacement iPod from the iCloud backup of the old i{Pod.  Just restore via wifi from the backup and all the iTunes purchases and spme other stuff will be retored to the replacement iPod. You will have to reenter passwords and other keychain items since those are only restored to the same device.
    - That is how I set up my new iPhone 4S. I restored it at the Apple store via wifi from my 4G iPod touch. No problems.
    - I know of no good places for replacement parts.

  • Can I restore from older backup?

    My cousin had an "application not responding" problem with Address Book on her Mac. She quit out and when she opened it again all her contacts were gone. She had already plugged in her iPhone and it synced the empty address book to her iPhone erasing everything.
    By the time she called me, she had already gone into address book too many times and her AddressBook.data.previous was empty.
    So, is there away she can use whatever is in her Application Support/Mobilesync/Backup folder to restore stuff from yesterday to her iPhone, which she could then sync back to the computer?
    Thanks.
