Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!

How do i retrieve my previous backups after you updated to new itunes

Hi so i just updated to the new ios5, and after it was done syncing and everything, i got everything back except for my contacts, notes, texts, and camera roll photos. I'm guessing it is because I updated my itunes also to the new 10.5 so it might have erased all my previous back ups.
I was looking for a way to get the old backups back and use that to retreive my old camera roll photos and contacts but, i couldn't find where the previous backups were. I tried using the way it showed on Apple where it said to look in application data, but when I looked, it did not say Apple computer after I double clicked on the application data icon it said microsoft instead which lead to nowhere. So can someone please help me locate where the previous backup files are?
Thanks

No backup? Never a good idea to not maintain a backup of your important data. If you do not have a backup, follow these instructions:
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, your phone, will see your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever supported applications you use for contact & calendar syncing. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library and other important data..

Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC. Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" Have tried that but get the same result. Can anyone assist?

Have tried that but get the same result.
Remedies I've tried are:
wait and try again
reboot
reload iTunes
NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
Can anyone assist?

RHoodnkt-
Try rebooting the iPad. Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. It takes a minute or two to restart.
Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

Install itunes on new laptop w/o losing old songs- cant backup songs tho!

Please can anyone help?! I have to figure this out by tomorrow!! :o
Cliffsnotes: _Want itunes on new laptop. Dont want to lose songs on ipod. Can't backup songs because itunes is gone from old computer. Halp plz?_
Details: I have an ipod touch. I think my dad accidentally deleted some of the software that is required to run itunes so now it won't open, or recognize the ipod when its connected to the computer. When I click on the itunes icon (which is still on my desktop) to try to open it, I get an error message that reads:
"Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install itunes again."
I would do this however I just got a new laptop and want to move all my programs including itunes onto it instead. If I try to just connect the ipod to the new laptop and download the newest version of itunes, I'm afraid it will delete my old songs already on the ipod. I know people have had this concern before but the answer is always to back up your songs first. How am I supposed to do this if the itunes is deleted/won't open on my old computer?
*Your help is so so appreciated*!!!

What you really want is the files, not the music really, just the system files so that when you reinstall iTunes you can replace the system files with the ones you backed up, thus saving your settings from your previous installation. As for the music, after you reinstall, you can backup your music from your iPod before you sync it to the new iTunes installation, that way it insures you not to lose all your music. I deleted half my music by accident from in my iTunes Music hard drive that I have separately so as to be able to keep all my music in case of a computer crash, which we both know is a drawback of having a Windows-based PC. Where you want to go is first go to Edit then Preferences then Devices and make sure you have Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically checked, then you can rest assured that you won't lose the music already on the iPod. Then you go to File then Library then Back Up To Disc. This is of course after you have iTunes reinstalled. Just save the system folders with all the system settings from your documents/music/iTunes section. Then uninstall and reinstall. Then transfer the backed up system files back to that folder and overwrite the new files that were created.

Cant view multipage tiff files in browser after updating ITUNES

I can't view multi-page tiff files in my browser after updating Itunes. I am not sure why an Itunes update would stop the viewing of Multi-page Tiff files, but it did!
Is there a fix for this?
thanks

That's unfortunate. Are you stating that you have no backup of your media which is ultimately your responsibility?
Sorry, but if you have lost media and data and have no backup then the ONLY place to place blame is with the user that failed to backup those files.

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
Find the song in your library and click the bell
This bring up the editor.
You edit the song to the portion you want.
Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:

Cannot backup after itunes update to 10.5.0.142

After updating itunes on win7 32bit, backup operation won't complete.
After several tries, the error message could not be saved on your computer appeared.
I deleted all backups as this article suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529 and now I connect iphone, try to backup and nothing happens. It stays there forever. In the meanwhile, the backup folder remains in a size of 5,1mb when the progress bar is diplayed (a little progress only, usually does not show the progress bar at all. I've tried to delete the folder a lot of times, nothing happens.
Ive restarted iphone, the pc, nothing changes. BTW this article is stupid http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529 it does not answer if another user account doesnt backup either !
Any help? any ideas?

I'm pasting what worked for me after going through a lot of forums etc. Don't even remember where i found it, give it a try though. it worked for me. I wonder why it was so hard to find... Cheers mates:
This solution has been documented on this forum by several people, but the solution is usually deep in multiple threads. I really don't know who came up with it first, but it does indeed work.
I had an issue with iTunes.exe, APSDaemon, and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe using 100% CPU per core. (Showed as 25% in Task Manager.)
I could not backup my iPhone and the CPU spike happened as soon as iTunes
10.5 was started on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
This solved it.
Sounds stupid but works:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Restart iTunes.
6. ???
7. Profit!

I normally do backups of my iTunes music files. After a recent hard disc failure I tried reloaded iTunes from these backups. This was ok but I lost all my ratings. How do I have to save the music library to include the rating information?

Cant see iphone in itunes after the most resent itunes update

After updating itunes I downloaded the new iphone IOS. After connecting my phone, an error msg could not update iphone. Now my phone has the connect to itunes screen and will not come off regardless of what i do. I cant see it on the computer or itunes now. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and a number of other things on the apple website, no joy. To me it sounds like a software problem to me, but i dont know. Does anybody have ANYTHING else?

I had the same problem yesterday and called Apple Support and was walked through uninstalling iTunes (I had just gotten the latest update to it) and reinstalling it. My computer (Windows Vista) did not recognize the phone and would not sync. I powered down my computer, took it home, powered it up and plugged in my iPhone 4 with a different sync cable and it worked. The computer found an Apple driver that it couldn't find with the other cable. The defective cable will still charge my iPhone 4, but it will not sync. I have used that same cable since October, and it is the original shipped with the product. Go figure. I have not yet updated to iOS 4.3 and am going to wait a bit.
