Failed to backup my new iPhone, then restored from iPod, lost pics on new iPhone!

I have been using an iPod for two years, and been good about backing it up.  I finally bought an iPhone, and backed up my iPod one final time.  I then didn't find the time to restore to the new iPhone, and used it for two whole weeks.  I finally remembered, and restored from my old to my new iPod.   Unfortunately I forgot I had taken 100 pics on my new iPhone, and I lost them all.  Are they recoverable?  My son's first homecoming and first crew regatta pictures (of course). Heartbroken.  I sent a few pics to my son, but I lost the rest.  Thanks for helping is you can.  Yes, I learned my lesson!

That is a shame. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a way to backup your iTunes library and other personal data folders.

  • Sync as new iPad or restore from iPod?

    I just bought a new iPad (16GB). When I connected it to my four-year-old MacBookPro running 10.5.8, I was asked in iTunes whether I wanted to set it up as a new iPad or restore from my second-generation iPod. I have sime new apps on the iPad which I do not want overwritten, but I also would like to have many of the apps on my iPod on my iPad as well. Which option should I select?

    Not sure if I'd do it from an iPhone, but the clear advantages would be (same for ipad wifi to ipda 3G) that your saved passwords and other app-specific info is brought over. Otherwise, while it's easy to re-sync all apps etc, their info (logon, customizations etc.) would need to be setup anew as well.
    Why not try it? You can always restore-mode and start from scratch if there are ANY issues.

  • I want to reset my iPhone then restore from a backup...

    Hello again Apple community.
    I have an iPhone 5 and I want to reset it then restore it from a backup. I go to Settings -> General -> Erase all Content and Settings. I then enter my passcode, press Erase iPhone, and then press Erase iPhone on the confirmation screen. However, when I do that it tells me to enter my Apple ID password to erase the iPhone "and remove it from your account." The thing is, I'm not sure I want to do this because if I do, I'm afraid that it'll delete all of the purchases (apps, music, etc.) from my account and I will have to buy EVERYTHING again. Does anyone know if it'll delete all of my purchases or, better yet, does anyone know how to bypass this? I never remember this happening when I had iOS 6. I do have it backed up to my MacBook Pro.

    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode

                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • IPhone 4S restored from iPod backup

    Hi my son is getting my iPhone 4S and I restored it from a backup taken from his iPod touch, only problem is we have lost everything associated with the cellular side of the iPhone. Is there a way in which this can be done without losing the phone options

    I'm having the same problem. I just bought the 5s and tried to restore my previous phone backup. I have tried everything - updating all the software, rebooting, restoring defaults etc. Then, out of frustration, I tried to restore a very old backup and it worked, except that didn't help me because it's over 2 years old. So i know it's not the new phone. I'm completely puzzled. Lots of people on here are saying to find and delete the backup on your hard drive, but  I can't even find that on my computer (I have no hidden files). Anyway, I have Windows Vista. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

  • Superduper backup to disk image then restore from disk image

    Im trying to get bootcamp to work but it told me to backup, format and restore. Im currently copying my data to a disk image. Am i able to restore this or is it pointless?
    Thanks

    You can do it your way, but the intended way is to use FileVault to encrypt your Home folder. When you log out of your account then TM will begin the backup of the encrypted Home folder. No need for you to encrypt or decrypt your own disc image.
    If you allow TM to run hourly backups as you now do, then both your Home folder and your backups are not secure.

  • HT4623 I have a new handset as my previous one was damaged. With regards to backing everything which option do I choose when backing up, set up as a new iphone or, restore from this backup  iphone?

    I have a new hanset as my previous one ws damaged and everything was lost.  When backing up which option should I use "set up as a new iphone or, restore from this , back up Jo's iphone"..

    You may do whatever you like.
    If you want to set it up using the backup of your old iphone then choose that.
    If you do not then choose as new.

    That depends if you want your current data on your new phone, then restore from backup.  IF you don't then set up as new.

  • I restored my ipod and used a new apple id but old id is stuck in ipod?

    my old apple id i think got hacked, anyways apple disabled it. i forgot my security answers so i thought i'd just make a new one. i restored my ipod and made a new apple id, but when i go to update apps or get new ones my old apple id seems to be stuck there? it's the only one that pops up when i have to confirm my purchase. i've tried signing out and signing back in but nothing works. i don't know why it's doing this considering i did restore my ipod
    HEEELP it's been like this for 2 months now

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them. Also, they can't be transfered to another account.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Thus you will not be able to update those apps unless you can log into the account that pruchased them

  • HT1766 After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music s

    After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

    Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
    I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
    You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
    Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
    I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.

  • I live in Canada.  Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries.  I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup.  Tedious.  iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events.  Any suggestions?

    I live in Canada.  Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries.  I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup.  Tedious.  iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events.  I only use the default calendar.  Do I have an incorrect setting?

    I did find another point worth mentioning. 
    I use my iPhone 4 with a corporate Exchange email account.  I had deleted the account from my phone just before I did this backup/restore process...and I thought my battery drain was much, much better (if not outright fixed). 
    Later in the day, after seeing my battery life improve to near-new behavior, I re-added my Exchange mail account.  Considering I have 1 yahoo account and 3 gmail accounts, the Exchange account adds a 5th email account.
    What happened?  Battery drain back to "worst case".  Removing or re-adding the Exchange account is like toggling between decent and terrible drain conditions.
    Bottom line is that I re-added a couple dozen applications and battery life didn't change.  By far, the Exchange account drains the battery worse than any other app and setting.  This account must be polling very frequently and since people tend to send very large file attachments to that account, perhaps those effect the battery drain even though I have the account set to not download attachments.
    Anyone running Microsoft Exchange might be able to confirm what I see?  If so I can open an enterprise ticket with Microsoft and bug them on this issue.

  • Do I set up my iphone 4s as new device or restore from backup?

    I have an Iphone 4 (OS 4) - upgrading to Iphone 4s (OS 5) - then I begin the set up of Iphone 4s, so I say set up as a new device or restore from a backup?
    I have already backed-up and synced my Iphone 4 to Itunes (not to cloud because I didn't upgrade the old phone to OS 5).  I am scared to death to try this and when they give that choice I am not sure which to pick..any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would suggest restore from a backup if you have the backup available.  This way settings and other items will be restored once the process is complete.
    I hope this helps!
