I just got a new iPhone 6 but when I did the restore from backup of my old iPhone 4; none of my pictures were there and almost all of my calendar was missing. Can anyone help?

Hi, I just bought an iPhone 6, 64GB and had everything ready to do the "restore from backup" from my old iPhone 4 8GB. It kept stopping and I'd have to start over from the beginning. When I finally got it to do something with the help of my provider(who had walked me thru from the beginning anyway); I figured I was all set. Then I went to see my pics to use one for my lock screen and there were NO PICTURES AT ALL and only part of my calendar came over. I'm missing a lot of future appointments that I know are set up. I made sure not to wipe out my old one yet; as I will have to since I did the trade in plan; so I still have my old iPhone 4 and it has everything in it, in addition to having the backup on two computers in the house.
I also tried syncing it after the restore since things were missing, but that didn't work either.
I would appreciate any help so I can use my phone and get going with it.
Thanks!

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

Backed up iPad, Replaced iPad, Restored from Backup...50 Books Missing???

I recently replaced my iPad.
Before taking my iPad in I backed it up.
When i got my new iPad home, I restored from backup.
50+ books are missing?????
What's going on!?!?

iBooks (and other iTunes downloads e.g. music, films, apps etc) aren't included in the backup. As well as backing up did you do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them, and your other iTunes downloads, over to your computer's iTunes ? If they are still in the store then you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

Why am getting a "error occurred while restoring from backup" message when restoring using Time Machine?

Hello
I recently made a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 (which incidentally went absolutely fine). In that partition I wanted to split it for some certain files, but on doing so I appear to have completely tanked my hard drive - I've pretty much wiped the entire thing. I read afterwards that creating new partitions within Windows is a big no no Bootcamp wise, and this wasn't something I knew about before. Lesson learnt!
Either way, I had a backup and though it would be simple enough to restore from that backup, but about 2% in it it pops up "an error has occurred while restoring from backup, please restart and try again". After a few tries, this didn't work, so now I'm worried that my backup is corrupt.
I'm not sure why the backup would be corrupt as this was made with no problems as normal.
I've already tried the standard restore with no success (obviously), and I've also tried re-installing the OS up to the first boot, then trying to restore (thinking that the error was a result of a missing Recovery HD, which the re-install would create) and this was with no success also.
My final idea was to just erase the drive and re-install the OSX, and then when it prompts me, restore the files from the Time Capsule.
Am I onto the right idea, or is there another way around this? I'm just very worried that my backup has become corrupted for some reason and I've lost everything on there.
Specs are:
MacBook Pro Mid 2012 OS X 10.8.5;
Bootcamp 5 (Windows 7);

I'd agree. As long as you've gone this far, I'd probably start from scratch with your MBP, back up any critical files on it, wipe the whole thing, and do a nice clean reinstall.
I'd try to repair the backup drive with disk utilty and then see if you can restore the minimum of essential documents from it to the MBP. If Disk Utility can't fix it there is a small chance that a third party utility like diskwarrior or techtool could repair it. DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
If you can get your essential documents off the backup drive, then I'd wipe it and put a new time machine backup on it. If that doesn't work, then I'd replace the drive.

Trying to restore ipod from one that died. But restore from backup is greyed out in the itunes menu.

I have latest version of itunes on Mavericks, a brand new ipod nano, and I am trying to restore my old dead ipod from its last backup onto the new ipod. The previous (dead) ipod was inherited from my daughter and is called "Kim's ipod" and I didn't get the option to initialise with the same name when I first connected it to itunes. I suspect that might be the problem.
Restoring from backup is greyed out in the file menu.
This strikes me as a situation that shouldn't be too uncommon - I'm wondering what I am missing.
- How to restore a new ipod from the backup of a new one
- Why is the restore from backup option greyed out
- Or, how to reinitialise the ipod so that the new one can have the same name as the old one in order to back it up.
Or anything else that I might have missed. FYIY the new ipod is NOT in recovery mode.

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

Having a hard time rebooting iPhone 5 after restore from backup!

Here is my problem, my new iphone 5 did a restore from backup from my 4S. It took awhile because I have a lot of apps. Unfortunately not all the folders were intact. I heard that you have to do a double restore from backup. Once I did my 2nd restore from backup, the phone goes through a reboot process. I get the apple logo and then a blank screen. I have tried holding the home and top button with and without it being plugged in. I got it working and did a restore from backup again, thinking the folders would be restored. It did not work again. After trying about 5 or 6 times, I finally got the phone to come up again. Unfortunately I still have not gotten my folders back they way it was. It's partial and now I don't want to try to do another restore from backup. So I guess itunes is still not fixed in terms of restoring apps and folders they way it is supposed to be. Anyone else have this issue?

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 misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!

Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

Trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 - Message "ITunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

Hi
I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
"ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
Any ideas please?
Ger

I just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
3. No visual voicemail
4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar? give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money!

Unable to restore from backup

Hello everyone,
I have a small problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. I have 3gs that I sync with my Dell laptop running Win7 and I'm using ITunes 9. When I go to sync, everything syncs fine, backups are creating and it seems that there are no problems. No errors are given once the sync/backup are complete. The other day, I needed to restore from backup. Here's where the problem comes in. After a minute or so of ITunes telling me it's restoring, I get a window that pops up saying something along the lines of "unable to complete restore because the backup session failed." I had about 6 backups available and they all came back with the same error trying to restore. After reading about this problem here in the forums, some have suggested turning off anti-virus software, making sure certain programs have been given access in a firewall. I've tried to sync with AV turned off, Firewall correctly set and even turned off and then continue with restoring, but i continue to receive the same error trying to restore. Any ideas on what might be happening?? I've saved my directories with backups and reisntalled ITunes, still no progress.. Thanks in advance for any ideas..

Are you sure about that?

Does restoring from backup overwrite current library with backed-up one?

My external hard drive died a sudden and mysterious death, so I am cobbling my music collection back together from backup DVDs and my iPod.
Can someone please tell me if restoring from backup DVDs will overwrite my current library with the backed-up one? The DVDs are several months old, so I do not want to overwrite my current library - I need to be able to see what I'm still missing after I restore from the DVDs.
Thanks

Well, I want to restore the backed-up songs, but I still want to be able to see the songs I am missing (that I have acquired since I backed up).
So I don't want to replace my current library (currently showing all exclamation points because everything is missing) with the one from December 2007 (when I last backed up), because then all the songs I have acquired since December 2007 will no longer be listed in my library. I just want to restore the individual songs to my current library, so that I can continue to track down the songs still showing exclamation points. I hope that makes sense.

IPhone restore from backup won't restore text messages?

Hey everybody! So, I went to the Apple store today with a broken power button. Luckily, I was still under warranty so they took my phone and gave me a new (or refurbished) one. I backed up my phone right before I went to the store. The guy at Genius assured me that all of my data would be restored to my phone as soon as I connected my new phone and clicked "restore from backup" on iTunes.
After I did this, everything was back - my apps, photos, reminders, notes, everything - except for my messages. My messages are completely blank. I tried restoring it twice - both times, everything was fine except for my messages. My old phone was iOS 5.1.1 and the one they gave me was automatically iOS 6. Could this be the problem? If not, what's wrong? How can I fix this and return my messages to my phone?
Thanks!

Does the recipient have an iPhone? I assume yes - you won't see a Delivered status on a text message.
If yes, does your outgoing message show as Blue or Green?
If no, did he once have an iPhone and switch to another device?

IPhone 4 won't restore from backup - Not Enough Space

My wife deleted some photos from her iPhone 4 by accident and we are trying to recover them. We hooked her phone up and tried to do a restore from backup but we are getting an error saying there is not enough space on the iphone. How can that be if the backup came from the computer? How do we get the photos back or how do we get iTunes to restore the backup? Please help!
Thanks,
Jim

We called Apple and they told us to take it to the Genius bar and they would be able to help us restore the photos from the backup file that is on my wife's laptop. We haven't had a chance to take it in yet though. I'll try to post our results once we get in there.

After ios 5 update and restore from backup my passcode doesn't work, what happened?

yesterday iupdated my ipod touch 4g to ios5 and i selected to backup from an itunes backup i made yesterday morning, but after doing so, my ipod went to sleep, and when i tried to unlock it, it told me ipod disabled wait 1 minute, after a minute i tried again but then it said wait 5 minutes, why isn't my passcode working?

Restore from Backup once more. Passcodes are not restored in backups, so you should be able to get on the iPod without a passcode, then go into Settings and set up a new one (or the old one if you want).

My iPad2 won't restore from backup

HELP!
I have just updated my iPad2 for the first time to the latest update. I bought it in Dec 2011 and it is now May 2014.
I pressed 'Restore from Backup' but it just continues to keep on going through the same process continuously. I can quickly see all the updated info on my screen momentarily but then that screen disappears and it goes back to screen that asks for
'Language'
'Country'
'Choose a Wifi Network' and then
it automatically goes to 'Set Up iPad'
from here, I have chosen 'Restore from iTunes Backup', and also have the USB cable connected to the iPad
It then comes up with "Connect to iTunes" which I have now done for the 5th time
I then go back to 'File', 'Devices', 'Restore from Back Up'
I know that all the info has been backed up and is on my computer and I can also see it on my computer.
Frustratingly, I have only twice seen the screen momentarily where it has the updated versions of apps, etc on the screen but when I try to click into anything, it goes straight back to the whole process of restoring from back up again.
I have rebooted my iPad2 a few times in between as well, thinking that was the problem.
Please help.

I have just redone the whole process again as
Set Up as new iPad
I was worried that I would lose everything but it seems to have some stuff on there. Not quite sure what is missing but I am happy that I can at least use it.
Thanks anyway

Facetime is missing once i restored from backup.
