Cannot restore from backup after upgrading to 6.1

I've upgraded my Iphone 4S from 5.1.1 to 6.1.
Backed it up before the upgrade and now that I want to restore my stuff it tells me that the backup is corrupt or not compatible.
Itunes on latest version.
windows 7.
Yes I've made a full restore of the phone ...
What should I do?
can't just start over ... had lots of important stuff on the backup.

IPhone will not restore from backup after upgrading to iOS4

Hey guys,
I updated to iOS4 just fine on my iPhone 3G 16gb model. Unfortunately, what occurred after that is what's giving me a headache. Whenever I try to restore my iPhone from the backup I created, my laptop keeps freezing when it hits about 8-10% completion. It has no major problems with freezing or locking up, and I'm pretty sure that my iTunes is the problem. My phone will now no longer play my music, nor will it even display half of my custom ringtones(even though they appear on my ringtones list under my iPhone in iTunes), nor will it display any of the songs that I purchased through iTunes on my phone recently.
Most of the other features are working fine, though I have not tested everything. I still receive text messages, phone calls, and can access the internet, so it works how I absolutely need it to, but this is becoming an extremely frustrating ordeal. Please let me know if anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a solution.
Thanks!

I can't find anything specific on that error code, but this Apple article may give you some ideas on how to fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
You may have to "Restore as New" if you cannot get it to restore from a backup. You will lose your game data but that is about the extent of the effect.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

How can I restore my iphone from the backup file?

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.

Restored from backup after a new iPhone and had photos on the phone. Is it possible to retrieve them?

Hi guys I recently got a 5S and restored from backup.
Before restoring from backup I had a few photos I had taken, is it possible to get them back?
Thanks.

Hi Agebrah,
If you set up your iPhone prior to your restore from backup, have iCloud, and had Photo Stream turned on, there is a chance that those photos may be in your Photo Stream. You may find the information in the following article helpful:

Not enough space to restore my backup after upgrading to iOS6

i have an iphone 4s which i decided to upgrade to the latest software. unfortunately, after itunes upgraded the OS, there's not enough space to restore my phone from the latest backup. looks like iOS6 has a bigger usage than the previous OS im using. now im stuck with using my old backup files which obviously something i don't want to use. i want to restore to my latest backup which contains some of the important files i want to access. what should i do???

You're saying I should put the backup on another, bigger external drive, erase everything on my computer and restore from the 2nd external drive? Sounds a bit risky, especially if I erase my computer and the problem is with the backup.

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.

I can't restore from icloud after upgrading ios7.0.3

If you plug it into a computer to install the update and then the backup, it should work. (At least, it did with my 4th Gen iTouch).

[SOLVED] Cannot boot from raid1 after upgrade

My system cannot boot from software raid(1) after upgrading the kernel to version 3.2.13-1. I realized then, that mkinitcpio.conf was overwritten (probably missed that in a previous upgrade). So I put back "mdadm" to HOOKS and "raid1" to MODULES. Unfortunately it didn't help. This is the boot-up screen:
Any ideas?

Thank you for your answer. I replaced the mdadm hook with mdadm_udev and updated my mdadm.conf. Removing the hd configuration stuff from grub then finally did the trick. Works again!

Do not use the Restore from Backup when upgrading

For those having issues......
Try to restore your phone as "New" and not from a backup. After you have a clean version iOS 4.0 on your phone customize your phone manually, do not use a backup. i know this can be a pain in the *** but it should fix most of the upgrade issues.
I believe many of the issues are being caused by people using backups.
For those windows user out there. Its like when you upgraded Windows to a new version. you always had glitches if you just did an upgrade vs a clean install.

i used itunes to sync my contacts, apps, music, videos, pictures. i e-mailed myself all my notes and copied the pictures in the camera to my computer. i also e-mailed myself all my bookmarks.
once everything was sync with iTunes i upgraded my apps within itunes so only the most recent versions would by put on the "new" phone.
once the phone was restored as "New" i synced all my stuff back.
I lost all my in app data and text messages by doing this method. I also lost my "favorites list" in the phone and all old voice mails.
i had to reset up my apps, setup my e-mail, retype my notes, make new bookmarks and a few other items. Once i did all of this I made a new Backup and deleted all the old backups.
If my phone breaks i know have a good 4.0 back up that has no 3.X data on it.

Restore from Backup after 3.1.3 Update doesn't work!

I can restore my apps just fine. I just want my text messages and contacts list back!
This is the first time it happened. I encountered no errors while updating, have made no changes in any settings, and have just made a backup right before updating. Somebody please help!

Sorry, I can't help, but if you don't get a response here, try asking in the Backup forum. More people familiar with the app may see your issue there.
Good luck.
