Can't restore to backup!!! I NEED this backup!!

Hi, I had to restore my iPod tough 4th generation because it was acting up. It has iOS 5.0.1 when it backed up to iCloud last night and it still does, but when I was setting my iPod up to restore to my iCloud back up, it wasn't there. How do I know it backed up? I went to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>backups and it shows last nights back up. How to I go back to that back up??? I REALLY need it! And, and says I haven't synced since last month, but I synced yesterday and the day before.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    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.

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

  • Just reinstalled Windows, Can't restore iTunes backup

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my computer, and after installing the latest version of iTunes available from Apple, I can't restore any backup I made prior to the reinstall, with iTunes giving me error code -69.
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes, but no dice so far. Should I be trying to do anything else to get this working?

  • Can I restore a backup of an iphone5 from different carrier?

    Started off with an iPhone5 on Sprint - long story short it got returned due to numerous data issues and I wasn't going to wait past my 14 day return to see if it gets better.  I'm in the process of switching over to Verizon (as soon as they get more iP5's), but I'm curious if I can safely restore my backup from the Sprint phone to the Verizon phone without 'crossing the streams' and somehow pushing down the Sprint config.
    Just looking to build some confidence that I will NOT screw something up royally with this approach.
    Thx!

    Yes. The carrier you use doesn't matter.

    I've never personally done this, but I'm qute sure you can.  After all, this would be one method of migrating from the MacBook to the MacBook Air (with the assistance of Migration Assistant).

  • HT1386 I backup my boss iphone to my pc, i copy the backup file to his PC, can he restore the backup to his iphone using his pc and will not reset his iphone.  Thanks so much

    Hi,
    I backup my boss iphone to my pc, i copy the backup file to his PC, can he restore the backup to his iphone using his pc and will not reset his iphone.  Thanks so much

    Put the device in DFU mode and restore.
    When he gets back to the computer that he normally syncs with, he can restore from his backup.  Everything since that last backup will be lost.
    Start apologizing now... keep it up for a few months to several years.
    Then hopefully you will learn to leave other peoples stuff alone.
