Can't restore to my new Touch 5G from 3G backup

So I have a 3g touch backed up today. Running 5.1 or whatevert the most current I can run on it is.
Got my new 5G touch and keep trying to restore onto it but not working.
I plugin the new 5G and it asks me to restore, goes through the process and says to leave it connected to the mac and it will appear in itunes after it restarts.
However it never appears in itunes and never restarts. Just shuts down and stays that way.
If I unplug it and plug it back in and or hold the button down and force it to restart enough times, it will eventually bootup. Seems to have some of my settings, email settings Icloud settings etc. But none of my apps are there never restored any of my data really jsut some settings.
When I connect it to itunes again it acts like its a new ipod and wont let me sync apps or data just asks me if I want to restore again.
If I restore again it just repeats this process.
Imac - 2.16 Ghz core 2
3 Gig ram
10.7.4
Itunes 10.7 (21)

All my stuff is in my library as normal. The issue is that after the restore the ipod doesn't reboot and then show up in itunes and sync my stuff.
It restores, says it will reboot but never does. I have to unplug it and reboot a bunch of times by hand to get it to start again. Eventually it boots up and has my settings but none of my data. I plug it into the mac agian and it just starts over as if its a new ipod and asks if I want to restore.
At no point does it attempt to sync my data.
Just got done applying 10.7.5 we'll see if that helps at all. Doubtful at this point.

  • Inability to restore apps to new iphone 5s from encrypted backup

    Hi, thanks for any advice. I recently upgraded to iphone 5s following significant slowown of iphone 4 which until the ios 7 update was a perfectly usable device. I am now simply unable to fully restore a brand new iphone 5s from a full encrypted iphone 4 backup using itunes. I have followed to letter the instructions on apple's website.
    The restore process runs through but only restores text messages, contacts and photos. None of the over 20 other apps are showing up on the new iphone 5s. Perhaps I am misreading what itunes can backup and restore. I would appretiate any suggestions. Thanks.

    Can you access other apps? Can you acess the internet? Can you access applications that use internet besides facebook?

  • Can I restore previous version of an app from iTunes backup?

    I updated an app via wifi and don't like the new version (too many ads).
    I deleted it from my iPod Touch.
    Can I restore the old version of the app from iTunes?
    In iTunes I try to drag the app from the apps folder to my iPod but it springs back.

    Try:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

    hi,
    i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

    I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune.  I have used both and they both work well.
    You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition.  I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want.  You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition.  It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive.  When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you.  Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
    Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla.  Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out.  CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider.  I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

  • How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

    When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons.  However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

    The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
    However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
    If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
    The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.

  • Back up of Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8 with Time Machine can i restore on a new Pro bought with Lion?

    I'm Backing up my Pro with time capsule
    I wont have access to any mac machine for the next moth where I will buy a new Pro hopefully this will come installed with Lion.
    Can i Restore from this back up across the different platforms?

    Apple has always provided an easy, automated way to do that, and there's no indication they won't with Lion.
    See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups?  The link to Using Setup Assistant on Lion won't be posted until Lion is released, but it will likely be similar to the one for Snow Leopard.

  • Can iTunes restore, to a new phone, everything that was contained in a phone that was recently stolen?

    I recently had my iphone stolen.  I have the phone locked with the 4 digit passcode. I have not wiped the device, so if it's turned on again, it can be found and located.  If I buy a new phone, can I restore it just like the old phone?  I'm not certain if I have manually "backed up" the device.  I've "synced" it recently, but am not sure if it backs it up when you sync it.  Point is:  Can iTunes restore my phone without having the device or having it previously manually backed up?

    First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. Follow the directions here:

  • Can't restore to my new phone

    Hello all, well I got apple to give me another iphone because of the 3.1 troubles. Well my new phone won't restore with my phone contact list. So I've lost all of my phone numbers. I tried going to edit/preferences/devices and choosing a backup date in itunes but since my new phone has a new IMEI number it will not let me pick the date I need to back up and get the info. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this to retrieve my phone list? Please any help. Thanks

    Thanks for your very helpful reply.  It's just what I needed after the stress and upset of having my phone and indeed my entire handbag stolen.  I was under the impression that this was a forum to get help, but with people like you around apparently not!

    Why would it?  Devices only appear in the list when they are connected to iTunes either physically via a cable or via Wi-Fi.
    Actually, that's wrong.  Maybe you should check your facts before you post rude and incorrect replies!

    Read the User's Guide before asking any more silly questions.  Not trying to be rude but you come across as clueless.  The User's Guide covers basic functionality.
    I have read the guide, it doesn't answer my question.  Perhaps if you read the guide yourself you would be aware of that!
