Cannot restore config backup on WRVS4400N

my router crashed/reset to factory defaults last night. i tried to restore an old backup but it gave me following error:
Restore failure (Unmatched pid)
so for several hours i reconfigured it manually and all seemed good.
just for the fun of it, i tried to backup and restore the same config. but same error:
Restore failure (Unmatched pid) !!!
my model is WRVS4400N, firmware v1.1.03, hardware probably v1.0
any idea what i can do? does firmware 1.1.13 fix this? (release note does not mention anything)

I had the same problem. I pressed the home key and re entered setup. Indicated I had a new ipad and went through prompts. The synced information was still on there and I was up and running. I guess the initial setup info didn't get transferred as in your case.
However, it does seem my settings are gone I guess I might try to restore again. Maybe we have to go through setup on the ipad before we plug it into the computer?

That error often indicates a hardware failure.Try restoring a few more times. If it consistently gives you that error, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it looked at.

Cannot restore TM backup of iPhoto Library - insufficient privileges

This seems to be a long-standing problem. I am experiencing problems caused by Apple's lousy implementation of user-defined places in iPhoto 11 and cannot afford to test whether reducing the radius of a place that overlaps one hundred or so other user-defined places will solve the problem, because, if it doesn't -- in versions prior to iPhoto 9.4 doing that caused all photos assigned to the overlapped places to be reassigned to the overlapping place, and the only way to undo the damage was to manually assign them to the correct places -- I cannot restore a previous version of iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup. When I try to, I receive an error message about having insufficient privileges.
Has anybody received a solution to this problem? I have not been impressed with Apple Care. First-level support usually just piddles around creating a new user account in which to try to recreate the problem, and when the case finally is escalated, the agent usually ends up referring the problem to "Engineering", never to be heard from again.

Iphone 5 cannot restore from backup - help

I believe I have tried everything humanly possible. My iphone 5 was having issues where it was not receiving responses to group texts. It was recommended that I do a restore. I backed up via icloud first. I double checked to make sure I have more than one backup available. I usually save out my photos before restore but didn't do it this time and I regret it. My daughter's pics from her birthday (5/5) are on there and I'm afraid now I'll never get them.
These are the things I've tried:
tried restoring from all backups listed (many times)
apple replaced my iphone
tried accessing photos from photostream, didn't know about this till apple guy setup as new phone and made me enter my icloud. Think that may have wiped the photos I did have in there.
tried reserving static ip - think I did that right
looked into QoS but my time capsule doesn't support that
tried from multple wifi spots (3 spots)
tried dhcp reservation - think I did that right
apple guy checked that backups were there and ok, they were
Errors I've received:
At first I received, lost connection when it was almost done
After a while the error I get now is "cannot restore backup"
Always fails in the same spot, 85%
The first time I blindly trust icloud to do it's job it fails. Obviously lesson learned. All I want is my daughter's pics...I'm ok losing everything else. I just can't believe I can't download my icloud backup to my computer and restore that way. All 3 stored backups have failed, I know I probably have more.
My next step is to call apple support, but I fear I'm SOL.
Anyone have any ideas? Willing to try anything.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to say my friend, but any second you going to lose from that moment on is a lost second. I d like to wish you luck and after all said and done - get back here and tell me if I was wrong. BTW if those were text group messages, your phone was never a problem.

Cannot restore using backup

I am trying to restore my iPhone using the most recent backup file. When the iPhone is docked, I right click on the icon in iTunes and choose "Restore from backup".
The restore commences and gets to 99% completion, and then I get the error:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "" failed. The device is connected."
My iPhone is obviously connected... PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.
If you haven't already, uninstall/reinstall the latest version of iTunes.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 will walk you through uninstalling iTunes.
You can download the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

If you don't know the password to the encrypted backup file, you can't restore from that backup. Simple. There's absolutely no way around this.

I cannot restore my backups using Time Machine - please help!

My iMac has been returned from repair and as part of this was reset to its factory settings, depeting everything. I took backups using Time Machine to an external hard drive before it went off for repair, and after it came back I restored the data - so I thought. It seemed to work for a long time, but on completion no files had been restored, and all the backups from before the iMac went for repair are now inaccessible in Time Machine. However as far as I can see they are still on the hard drive however.
The iMac has since been backing up the now empty machine to this hard drive, over-writing the data, but I have now switched Time Machine off.
How can I restore my back-ups and recover my data please?

'depeting' is a typo for 'deleting'. I don't seem to be able to edit this out above

Cannot restore because 'backup session failed'

I'm working with an original iphone, and am trying to get it to restore to a backup via iTunes (10.1).
If I look at the Backup folder (<MobileSync < Application Support < user Library), I see that not all of the backups show in the restore pulldown list in iTunes.
My original reason for trying a restore had to do with the phone freezing and not turning off (neither by time-out nor by button control). So it was some funkiness with the phone behavior, which led me to try a restore. I have no reason to think the phone hardware has somehow gone bad, since I've reasonably good care of the phone for 4+ years. Maybe I'm wrong to think it's more of a software issue; any thoughts about hardware going bad?

As it relates to hardware, the phone I'm referring to in my previous post had a broken on-off button, which prevented it from going into DFU mode.
Borrowed another original iPhone, switched my SIM, brought it down to 3.1.2 from 3.1.3, and I have a working phone.
Problem now is that I can't access the backups made by my original iPhone that were made with 3.1.3. I've posted in the software area with this thread:

After clean install of mavericks - i cannot restore my backups on time machine (Mountain Lion)

the installation went perfect but during set up, mavericks could not find my time machine on external hard drive. i found a post saying that mavericks creates time machine files that conflict with my latest back up.
i can access my last back up using finder but that doesn't help get my applications/programs back. i've tried using migration assistant and it cannot find my time machine either.
does anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot restore Backup data on Z2 Android 5.0

Hi everyone,
So I just been upgrading my Xperia Z2. The phone was on Android 4.4.2 when I used the Backup & Restore application to backup my System apps data, and some of my Downloaded apps with data. I had to upgrade to 4.4.4. I think it was a mistake that I didn't make a backup on 4.4.4 as well. Now I've upgraded to 5.0, and all of my apps & settings were kept, but I wanted to start clean, so I did a factory reset.
Now when I'm trying to use the Backup & Restore app again to Restore the backup file I made on 4.4.2, a window pops up saying "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file."
So the backup files are present, everything else works on the Z2...my question would be what should I do now to be able to restore my backups?
Thank you all,
David

The back of my z2 cracked during the winter so 3 weeks ago i sent it to sony so that they could fix my back glass, by the that l had not received lollipop at here in the US it was not yet available. So they asked me to backup my information as they would reset the phone when it got to them. So i tried to backup using PC companion and i failed so i decided to backup on my SD card using the backup and restore application in the applications menu. So this week they sent the phone back to me and it had been a update to lollipop, when i tried to restore my backuped data from my SD card it would not let me with an error message saying there is incompatibility or OS. I call sony to help me about it they could not help me

My iPhone's "Other" capacity has suddenly jumped to 56G out of 64G. Yes, you read that right. Every time I try to sync to recalculate, it gets worse! Please help! Can't even restore from backup now, since my backup is all "other"!

I have fully up-to-date everything on my iPhone and computer and iTunes. I have an iPhone5 and MacBook Pro. I synced my iPhone this morning and it has 12 or so gigs of free space (even with my music and some photos on it). Then I deleted some voice memos in iTunes, and wanted to sync again to reclaim the space. When I tried, it said I had 29G of "other" data and that my phone was way over capacity and can't sync. I tried a few online solutions to force it to recalculate, but now it says it is about 90% "other"!! Only 8G of 64G free, and "other" is the ONLY thing in the summary bar.
I un-checked music for syncing, thinking that must be the problem. It did not help. Now there is nothing on my phone except "other", according to iTunes (not even photos).
I cannot restore from backup now, since the backup includes the giant "other". I don't want to delete my info on my phone knowing a corrupted backup is my only alternative.
Help!

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?
