Can't find backup taken before IOS 5 upgrade

I just upgraded my iPHone from 4.X.X to IOS 5. When I started the upgrade iTunes asked that it will backup the phone and asked me to provide password for the encrypted backup. But once the upgrade was complete, I'm not able to find the most recent backup which was taken before the upgrade. I have the one taken in Aug and backup taken after upgrade. I am missing lots of data between Aug to Oct. Please help.

If an older version of the Netflix app was compatible, see:

I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

How do I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?

How can I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?

You need to go into Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
Once done you will be back as though it is a new iPhone and you can setup from the iCloud backup.

Hold on,
Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
Backup in iTunes
Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
Wait for unlock notification.
Restore the backup.

Can't find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5

After aan easy upgrade to ios5.1.1 I can not find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5.

You are looking in the videos app - correct?
If they are not in there - try this ....
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. If a movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK and if the rest of your movies have appeared.
If they still do not show up - sync them back from iTunes on your computer.

You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

Can not find itunes library on recent upgraded computer.

We recently had our computer upgraded. Downloaded itunes software. When opened itunes library, noticed mostly songs from windows came into library and with multipole repeats. Deleted them, hooked up IPOD nano and all my songs from it deleted. H..E..L..P.. NOw I can not find my library as it was before it go worked on.

If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library from your computer you pretty well are out of luck.

Back up ipod before ios upgrade, but i still lost all apps, music, ect

before I downloaded the IOS upgrade I backed up my ipod touch. After the upgrade I tried to restore, but nothing is showing on my ipod. Is there any way to get my stuff back?

Just sync the items back from your iTunes library. If they were not in the iTunes library on the computer onwhich you you did the updae the itesm are gone. The apps themselves andmusic and some other things are not in the backup that iTunes makes. They are synced from the iTunes library at the end of the update.
If you are in the USA you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can always redownloaf apps at no additional cost as long as you are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
For music you only get one download (without iCloud) andit is up to you to back it up.

Can't access iTunes store after iOS upgrade

I have an iPhone 4. Just upgraged the iOS to 6.0.1. I can no longer connect to the iTunes Store on the phone. I receive a message that I need an internet connection to get to the iTunes store. I never had this problem before the upgrade. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to address it? Thanks.

Well, first I'd ask if you have confirmed that Internet is in fact working on the phone? Do you have WiFi enabled and can you connect to the Internet with other apps on the phone?

Can't find Events in the Leopard upgraded iphotos?

I just installed Leopard but I don't think it installed my iphoto properly. It still says I have version 6 when I click on about iphoto. Is this normal? I can't find Events either which is one of the new features on iphotos. Anyone else had this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Installing Leopard does not upgrade the iLife application becuase they are not part of a system upgrade disk. Therefore you still have the same iLife versions that you had with Tiger. You either have to purchase a iLife disk or a new computer to get iLife 08.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't find backup in my docouments folder or anywhere for that matter.

Desktop manager tells me it's backing up as an .ipd file to my documents folder, but when I look for it it isn't there. Then I did a search with Windows and it doesn't find the most recent one either. Some others are there. What is a loader backup(date).ipd and how is it different from an AutoBackup(date).ipd?

Help, I have the same problem.I backed up on two computers (I can see the file in Recent Documents, AutoBackup-(2009-06-24).ipd). But when I try to open the location in Documents I cannot find the file. The two PC's are Vista Home and Vista Business. It's weird because I can see other backups I had made, but not the AutoBackup I made just 3 days ago before my second Bold bricked itself!I think it's some kind of Vista file security error?? Because I can see it in the one at work but I cannot open the file up.

Can't Find Backup Restored to Hardrive

(1)
I tried to restore a Time Machine backup of the hard drive by starting with a "clean install" of Snow Leopard - booting up while holding down the 'c' key - because restoring the hard drive backup from Time Machine required copying more than 270,000 files and would take 3 hours.
But when I chose this method, I received an error message that there wasn't enough room on the hard drive.
Huh?
The hard drive had 151 GB of available space on a 160 GB hard drive and I was restoring a hard drive backup from Time Machine of 54 GB.
151 GB of free space is not enough to restore a backup of 54 GB in size?
Hence, I tried the following method of restoring the hard drive backup from Time Machine.
(2)
I restored a Hard Drive backup from time machine when I had Snow Leopard installed on the machine.
The hard drive memory was reduced by the size of the backup.
The hard drive showed the exact contents as before - not the restored backup - as I chose the "replacement" option when backing up.
Where is the restored hard drive backup?
I can't find it.
(3)
Tried again, this time I chose the option during backup that both the current hard drive content and the hard drive backup I was restoring were saved.
The hard drive memory was reduced again by the size of the backup.
I saw two hard drive titles on the Finder.
Macintosh HD
Macintosh HD (original).
I closed Finder inadvertently and then reopened it.
Only Macintosh HD was shown.
Where did Macintosh HD (original) go?
I can't find it.

I can't understand what you did. please give full details of what you did step-by-step.

hah? there is no such option in TM backups.

ok, I have *no idea* what you did but here are the options you have when restoring the whole system drive from Time machine.
1. full system restore. you boot from the install DVD and use the "restore system from backup" from the utilities menu. that wipes your hard drive and restores it to the state it was in at the backup time.
2. you do an erase and install of Snow leopard and then use migration assistant to migrate your data from the TM backup. you can do it during the original computer setup after the install is completed or later using migration assistant.
did you use any of these methods? if not, what did you do?

Lost calender data with sync - aaagh! Where can I find backup data??

Hi. I synced my iphone (ios4) with my imac yesterday and lots of random calender data has been lost on my iphone.
I haven't synced for a long time so no use me trying to restore to a recent sync.
A friend told me that prior to syncing, itunes takes a snapshot of the iphone data. Can I find this? I've tried looking in Library/application support...but i don't apparently have mobilesync file.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated because I haven't got a clue as to what I'm supposed to be doing in the next few months now!

Wow, lots of questions...
One has to use the Export function first before using the Import function. Palm Desktop has some decent Help files on the Import/Export functions. I suggest reading up on both.
I can't remember if the Import function will merge or overwrite existing data! Sorry, been quite a while since using Palm Desktop, and trying to work from memory here. I still have two TX's that work fine, and even can go online with my home network!
Once you get the data you want from the m500 into Palm Desktop, you can then Export each PIM database, and safely store it while experimenting with the imports. Open the other account and choose the Import command for each PIM database.
You have to be careful about syncing two devices to the same account name, especially if the models are very different! There is a big chance of corrupting the data. When doing this, one should sync actively with one device, then set Palm Desktop to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" when sending the data to the second (backup) device. This is why many of us simply used an on-device backup system like NVBackup.
Unfortunately, this program will not work with your older PalmOS devices.
Best of luck, wish I could help more. Let us know how things work out!
