First restore

I had to restore from time machine for the first time. The first thing I noticed was my background image was gone. When I went to look for it I noticed that my pictures folder is missing and when I started iPhoto my library is missing. Can I go find these in Time Machine or do I have to do an older restore?

The side bar is grayed out. and in the home folder there is no movies or pictures folder. I was thinking to go back farther in time machine
Yes, see if they're on +*any backup+* (I thought you'd already done that).
but it sounds like you want me to go and do it from the install disc. It that right.
No, I was suggesting that you do the full system restore again, from an earlier backup.
I don't know exactly what you did, or what's wrong. If you can't see the backups, either they aren't there or whatever's wrong is preventing you from seeing them.
Check the exclusions box in +Time Machine Preferences > Options.+ See if anything there would have prevented your Pictures and Movies folders from being backed-up.
This all started I think a few weeks ago when my finder was not responding it seem to be getting worse and I could not fix it. Yesterday I was updating software and had to restart that is when the computer no longer would restart and the wheel would just keep spinning. I used the install disk and the disk utility to check my drive and it all check out alright but I could not boot from the HD so I did a install from Time Machine.
Apparently something went wrong, either a few weeks ago, or with the update; if you did any backups after that, there's no telling what's corrupted.
I'd suggest repairing the backups first, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that finds and fixes anything, check the backups via the "Star Wars" display again.
If you still can't find the backups, trying a restore is a long shot, but seems to be about the only thing left.

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Just did my first restore after a lock up and now....

So last night the phone locked up. I had to do a restore which took forever. After it was done, on the iTunes page it gave two options only. 1. Set up as a new phone. 2. Restore from the backup of (and yesterday's date). Below was the continue button. So I thought I needed to "continue" to get to the next process but what that did was restore it again. Hours later I'm faced with the same screen. The phone is fine (well not how I personalized it) but I can't get iTunes to get off that screen of two choices no matter if I unplug it, close iTunes, and plug the phone back in.
HELP! Oh, it'll let me drag my ringtones and movies, etc. (not Apps) to the phone icon on the left side of iTunes and it'll show them downloading, but it won't give me the menu to sync, etc.

Nevermind...took the chance and set it up as new phone which worked. I was afraid it would delete everything and start me from square one.

I just restored my first generation iPad, now all apps crash when I try to open them

I have an original iPad that was not able to sync with my itunes for some reason after Apple released its recent iTunes update. I did a full restore of my ipad to see if the problem would be resolved. Now I have bigger problems. None of the apps that I have tried to install can run. I select an app, and it crashes and returns to the home screen. I tried restoring several more times, including one time that I did a restore from the backup of my iPad made immediately before I did the first restore earlier today. The OS version is 5.1.5, which is the newest version that Apple seems to allow to install in the original iPad. Can anyone help? This iPad is useless unless I can figure this out.

I don't see how you could install incompatible apps because you cannot apps that are not compatible. You restored already and sometimes just rebooting the iPad helps with what you were experiencing. I don't if it will do any good now, but you might as well give it a try.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you downloaded the latest version of iTunes, perhaps the download or installation of the software was corrupt. You could try deleting iTunes and reinstall it. What OS are you - Windows or Mac OS X?
I don't think that this will work, but try it anyway... Try downloading another app - any free app will be fine.

Can't fully restore my Time Machine/Time Capsule Backup to my newly-wiped SSD/HDD

On receiving my leased, Bootcamp-enabled MacBook Pro, I saw that there were no installation discs for Windows or OSX, and that there were 2 partitions (or so I thought) for Mac and Windows: 375GB each. As I produce music using software in both OSs, I wanted to create a 185GB FAT-32 partition to store my sound samples, projects etc. I attempted to create this partition by resizing (halving) my Bootcamp partition in OSX Disc Utility. The first time I attempted it, resizing was possible, but after the new partition was created, I had problems booting and so had to edit my GPT in order to boot again. Once ‘fixed,’ (by deleting the new partition) I couldn’t resize the Bootcamp partition to fill the 185GB gap, and that 185GB was ‘lost.’ The Bootcamp partition was 375GB but its used space + free space added up to 190GB
So the other day, I tried to follow what I thought was a more logical approach, which I was *sure* would work. My plan was to:
Use Windows Backup (and/or Clonezilla, or Disk Utility) to store an image of my Windows partition.
Uninstall/wipe the Windows partition using BootCamp Assistant, creating 1 big OSX partition
Use BootCamp Assistant to re-partition the HDD for Windows, OSX and ‘shared,’ and then re-install Windows, leaving 175GB for shared music production files
Restore the image/backups (approx 70GB) and carry on as before.
During the process, I deemed that this wasn't possible on my system for a variety of reasons: My laptop already had 4 partitions (Windows Recovery, Bootcamp/Windows, Mac Recovery HD, and Mac) and my understanding is that the MBR of my SSD only supports 4 partitions in its Bootcamp + OSX-compatible state. I have never got this '5 partition' strategy working.
I was unable to restore my Windows partition after re-installing Windows via Bootcamp. As a solution, I then decided to wipe the OSX partition (at that point the only 'visible' partition on the disk) and in-place re-install Mac OS X, with a view to installing Windows after OSX.
Once I wiped my hard drive, however, restoring my files and settings, didn't work as expected. Time Machine backups etc were inaccessible after a normal re-install. Re-installing with file transfer at setup froze at the 10% mark, with an estimated 200 hrs to go. The option to try a full-system restore via Time Machine is greyed-out. Even the Migration Assistant failed at a similar point. On the occasions where it claimed to complete successful (most recent situation) it seemed to neglect files, etc., and I'm now stuck at this stage.
I can view files/backups in Time Machine but I can't completely restore my computer to the state it was on 18th May...and 11 days without a fully-functioning laptop is really annoying. I wasn't able to ‘clean’ *or* ‘in-place’ re-install OSX using my existing settings and so I'm frustrated that Time Machine isn't a flawless backup & restore process. Migration Assistant didn’t transfer everything. Can I get things back to the way they were?
Things that haven’t restored correctly:
None of my icon customisations at the top of the screen were there (DropBox, Evernote, Google Drive, Kuvva, the way battery icon was displayed
Safari: Top Sites, History, Plugins
Logic Pro: Downloaded sounds, presets (10+GB), recent items, plugin settings/AU manager
Mail: Settings (and I’m assuming, the downloaded/cached mail: 7GB)
Trash can: Empty
All recent item lists apart from cloud-based services like Evernote, Notes, contacts
iTunes library
Dock view and settings
Settings for most programs
And I'm sure there are more!

Thanks Pondini; I'd hoped you'd reply. I'm still getting used to this tech, no can't even quote here.

If you mean you installed OSX and created a user account, then couldn't find the backups, that's because they're treated as being from a different disk, until you either transfer your data or do a manual "associatedisk". See the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #19 for details.
Yet to try the associatedisk...didn't realise this was possible until reading your guides. The explanation makes sense now. On installing OSX it said transfers were possible after installation, so I put off transferring as the first 'restore' had frozen on 10%, thinking I'd do it afterwards.
Re-installing with file transfer at setup froze at the 10% mark, with an estimated 200 hrs to go
That sounds like damaged/corrupted backups. Try to Repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Yet to try...didn't realise this was possible until reading your guides
The option to try a full-system restore via Time Machine is greyed-out.
You mean, on the Mac OS X Utilities menu on the Recovery HD? I've never heard of that. That should always be selectable, so you can specify where the backups you want are located. Nothing happens when you click it? Can you click the other options there?
Even the Migration Assistant failed at a similar point. On the occasions where it claimed to complete successful (most recent situation) it seemed to neglect files, etc., and I'm now stuck at this stage.
Also sounds like directory or file problems on the backups.
This is just when I go into Time Machine/Star Wars. I can't just go to the latest backup and click "Restore" (which I assume would just restore my whole computer/HDD, although I have no experience in this). I can only select files and restore them individually.
Time Machine isn't a flawless backup & restore process.
There has never been any such thing.
I bought into the Time Machine 'hype' and thought it was an easy and reliable tool, but was a lot more difficult to do a full restore than I thought.
Trash can: Empty
Correct. Time Machine (like most backup apps) don't back up trash.
All the rest should have been backed-up and restored. Do you see them in the backups? What, if anything, was excluded from being backed-up?
As a non-native Mac user, I'm not sure where all these things are stored...perhaps in Library? I think that not having the full hard-drive just restore annoyed me...I felt that backing up my whole hard drive every hour should've allowed me to restore everything to as it was without a hitch, and when it didn't work I just tried a few things before posting on here.
If repairing the backups finds and fixes things, you might want to try again.
Gonna try now
If not, and if you can see the missing items via the Time Machine browser (the "Star Wars" display), you should be able to restore them selectively.

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

Hi,
I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working. I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone. It is 18 months old.
I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions. I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck. I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6. This appeared to have worked. I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person. I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all. The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop. The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
-Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
-Problems attaching to known networks
-Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
- My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
- Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

[HELP] Problem with restore and recovery to new host

Hi, guys!
I have been trying for two days, but still cannot get it to work.
I have taken a full hot(online) backup with archive logs as well as the control file and SPFILE, and then copied the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and settings. Finally, I have tried to restore & recover the database on the new host but failed during the restore process.
Both the original host and the new host have the same Oracle installed down to the patch level. I couldn't figure out the proper solution to this problem base on my limited knowledge about Oracle DB.
Could anyone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

Please Help: Attempted install of new IOS 7 for iPhone - cell then requested to be plugged into iTunes - told it was in recovery mode - tried to restore - got error 4013

After attempting to install the new update, my iPhone is requesting to be pugged into iTunes. On the screen is a picture of iTunes and a cord. When I plug it into my MacBook air it will no recognzie it - though it did so in the past. I attempted a number, if not all, suggested I could find posted but nohting worked. As per one reconmondation, I have attempted to plug it into my PC (Which I don't use often - so I had to do all the updates). My PC recognized the phone and said that my phone was in recovery mode. So, I allowed iTunes to do its thing - iTunes said it was installing updates and recovering the phone (which took about an hour). When it was done, iTunes informed me that the phone needed recovery. So, I clicked recovery. It went through its thing then popped up with an error message 4013. When I requestion further information (button on the bottom), it opens a blank workd document (not really sure what that is about). After the error message, I reset the compuer and plugged it back in. Clicked the restore button but I received the same error message again.
I have also tried to plug it back into my Mac but still no luck.
On both my Mac and PC I have
- Done all the update to both software and iTunes,
- Reset the computer (multiple times)
- reset the phone - but the picure of iTunes and cord remains
- tried different cords
- disabled my security settings
- tried different USB ports
I am at a loss. This is my only phone so I am unable to call apple support. Plus I live in a small town, so there are no apple aproved stores near by.
Thank you in advance for your help

Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
Hope this helps others.

Imac won't restore from time machine backup after HD (hard drive) recall replacement

I have an imac bought in 2011, running Snow Leopard. It required an HD replacement due to the 1 TB Seagate recall - the replacement was done by a certified Apple repair station yesterday. Before the guy left he started a backup/restore from my latest time machine backup set. It failed. I attempted it two times and got error messages that it failed and the computer needed to be restarted to try it again. No luck. I called the guy back and he told me to call Apple Care. Not thrilled about that response since the guy had just left my house I did what he told me to do. (A quick sideline here: I recognize that a time machine backup should be no big deal and SHOULD work everytime, but it doesn't. It irks me that Apple is replacing my HD through no fault of mine and yet they don't allow the restore of data to be a "covered" expense in this process - this isn't just because this was an authorized repair guy - the Apple store would have done the same).
Back to the issue. When I called apple care they pretty much had me try the same thing again with an earlier back up set. To my knowledge, it didn't work. I say this because it looked like it was working and when I came back to the imac later, it had restarted and once again booted to the OSX install. (The boot disc is still in the imac). When I tried to boot from another location, one did not show up to boot from so I assumed that the data didn't transfer and it forced another restart. So, I tried something else. I tried to re-install the snow leopard OSX without using the restore function. That appeared to work and then when the machine restarted it asked if I had another mac and I chose the option to get the files/apps/etc. from my time machine backup. The computer chose what I can only assume is the most recent backup set (It chose what I know to be a subfolder that appears under the dated backup folder - Macintosh HD--which btw is confusing seeing as that's always the name of the HD on the imac). I again stepped away from the computer so it could do its thing for two hours. When I returned, I was back to the MAC OSX screen that asks you to choose a language. There were no more options to choose DISK UTILITY or RESTORE FROM BACKUP, etc. When I clicked on English it took me right back into the screen where you say whether you have another Apple that you want to transfer data from. I realized that the imac must have restarted and I assumed maybe it was because the boot disk was still in - except how do you get the disc to eject? I also initially assumed that the backup had somehow failed again and triggered a restart. I tried to choose the option to just set up the machine without transferring data and when I got to the choose a name for your HOME folder message I tried to enter the same name I had it as before and it wouldn't allow me to do so, saying that that name was already in use. I also tried a different name and that didn't work either - got the same message (I assume if it is not the same name that it won't sync up with the time machine data from the backup set). So, I almost tried the "select time machine backup" option again until I looked at my HD space. Clearly, there is space that has been used. HD space was 997 at the start and now it's 636. My initial thought is to somehow get back into the setup area where I can use disc utility and erase the whole thing and then start over but 1) I don't think it's going to work even if I could get back there 2) I have no idea how to get this thing to reboot into that mode 3) I can't get the boot CD out to even try to restart to see if this thing did what it was supposed to, SO NOW I AM TOTALLY STUCK! I have not called Apple Care back because quite frankly they were useless the first time. I have a call into the repair guy but who knows how much help he will be. In the mean time, I have a million things to do and a computer that isn't working - Whoever said Apples never have issues needs to be seriously censored!
A few other notes: I use Time Machine Editor to run my backups weekly. It was set up that way from the get go by an Apple rep who came to my house to get us up and running. Editor should not effect the way that time machine does its work, so I doubt there is relevance but thought it worth mentioning.
One other note is that the Apple Care agent tried to have me do something called a "Source" something or other from the disk utility screen but when she realized that my backup file (shown by date) contained many other sub files (11-27-12/MacintoshHD/MyNamesIMAC/etc.), it was not possible to run this operation - thus we aborted. Sorry I don't remember the name of the process and unfortunately now can't access that option to go find it.
If you can help me, I would be eternally grateful! I am open to having a phone conversation if you are willing to give me your email to mail you my number. I have so much work to do this week and this was the last thing I needed. Did I mention this was supposed to be EASY?
I used to be quite the geek with my PC - still on the learning curve with the mac but not enjoying it. I am fairly tech savvy and I can follow instructions for a step by step solution if you've got one.

I got a recall and had the drive replaced. I have retored 3 timesa dn even had apple do the job and it is still not right. I still can't get a simple ghost of the data from time machineback tot he new drive.
This is Apple's explaination as taken from their web page.:
Restoring your entire system from a backup
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Recovery system (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Note: If "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac" appears when restoring a backup that was made on a different Mac, follow the onscreen instructions.
I even posted this information on the community and apple removed it... because they don't like the:
Off-topic or non-technical posts
Non-constructive rants or complaints
But here is my experieince:
Take in 27iMac running 10.6.8, 5-7 days, what a joke, my boss will be happy to pay for a week without working. Finally get, "if you have TM back up, 3 days." Get machine back with 10.6.3, hit the R recovery, click TM back up, runs for 2 hours, reboots, looks great. Box up take back to office... update to install - OH NO, still running 10.6.3. Updates crash with no specific error on install, BUG PROBELM, nothing runs.
Call Apple... after hours, tells me to boot using 10.6.2 disk, wipe, reinstall OS, udate to 10.6.8, THEN do the restore. GREAT! Only thing 10.6.2 DVD won't read... now back on phone... take back to the store, Genius says, he'll ix it just like it was. PROMISES it'll be fixed.
Pick up next day, supposedly, booted to disk, wiped drive, reinstalled, updated to 10.6.8 and THEN did the RIGHT restore... Looks GREAT... apps run and 10.6.8 OS. Back to the office... NOT RUNNING right!!!... fonts messed up, drop box app needs new install, cocktail needs upgrade, Fetch not working, memorized paths gone... back ups locked out of permissions... ***!!
4 hours on phone with apple and still no rsolution - to missing "settings". Seems there are THREE WAYS TO RESTORE (according to apply tech)... Running MIGRATE ASSISTANT and being able to choose your files, including settings, "R" RESTORE after they load a new OS... or NOW WAITING for them to send me a bootable 10.6.3 disk and then boot from disk, w/o installing OS and doing a restore from TM. I think this is done via the disk Utilties application.
So now can't back up without doing a full 400 GB back up since permissons are screwed and possibly destroying any good back ups... can't work, like having hands tied behind back. WAITING for solution! Very upset!!!
I did my first restore just like they said and now an 10 days without proper machine. Just FYI. I thnk I am going to make the store do the tech work so I have somthing to fall back on.

Server 2008 R2 SP1, BitLocker to go, image restore, Unexpected results

On Svr 2008 R2 SP1, I wanted to test backup and image restore with a Bitlocker encrypted USB disk. Here's what I did:
I turned on encryption on the USB disk, Chose password method and set it to auto-unlock on this computer.
Ran a full system backup with the encrypted USB disk as the destination.
Plugged the USB disk into another computer. Confirmed that it did require a password before I could access it.
Now for the restore test. I booted the R2 computer from the Windows 2008 R2 SP1 setup DVD and chose the repair computer option.
I plugged in the encrypted USB disk (can't remember if I did this before or after booting from the DVD).
When choosing an image to restore, it could not find any.
I got a pop-up saying that I needed to enter a key to be able to access the USB disk.
I wanted to simulate not having the key (only the password), so I cancelled out of that window.
I went to the command prompt and entered >manage-bde -unlock E: -pw
After entering the password, I exited the command window and went back to restore an image.
It found backup image on the encrypted USB disk and I chose to do a full system restore. The restore was successful.
I later tried to restore from the same USB disk again using the same method was surprised because it did not ask for a key or a password this time. The second restore was also successful.
Then, after booting up the restore R2 machine, I noticed that the USB disk no longer had bit locker turned ON. It looked like it was not encrypted anymore.
I plugged the disk into another computer and it did NOT require a password to access it there either.
Now, after all of the above, Here's my Question. How did the disk become decrypted? I don't remember it going thru any decryption process (that seems to take while).
Did it decrypt automatically during the first restoration?
Note (don't know if this is related): later I reformatted the USB disk twice. Each time I plugged back into the R2 machine and it want to repair the disk and after it did, the files returned. I had to go to the disk manager and remove the partition
to get it to stop doing that.
No big deal. My test was successful but I am confused as to how the USB was decrypted.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

Hi,
From your description, I don’t see any chance that the USB disk could be decrypted. We can only decrypt the disk via UI or manage-bde
–off.
In addition, decrypting a disk might take several hours. It could not be decrypted without any notification.
According to the above, I suggest checking if there was any mis-operation. Also, please do more tests and check if the issue can be reproduced.
Thanks.

Can not access Viber messages, photos & videos after making restore from iTunes backup

Hello Viber Team,
I have sent several help requests about my Viber issue but I did not receive any reply from anyone at viber's support team.
It's highly seems the new viber app v5.1 which released on November 18, 2014 for iOS devices has a bug which deletes all messages and call logs once the app is updated to the new version. Because it requires for re-activation of already active viber account (as a new user) which causes this issue.
As mentioned in viber website, the only effective method to restore in-app viber data is to restore from either iCloud or iTunes backup. I've tried both methods while I had backup from my viber messages in both backups. But after iphone is restored the app, on the first attempt to open the viber app, it crashes and deletes all messages and a popup window appears which asks for re-activation (while the account has already been actived) and I did NOT deactivated or NOT deleted before doing restore).
I have also reviewed the other people's feedbacks in AppStore and it seems that I'm not the only person encountering with this technical issue. I'm using iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and tried at least 10 times to retrieve my viber messages by backup restore, and not sure if the device's 64bit SoC has anything to cause this problem.
Please inform me to find a solution for this disaster issue, or at least let me know if you're acknowledged and are analyzing the issue to provide a fix in your next update.
Thank you.

First, restoring from a backup you made AFTER messing with restrictions isn;t going to help you. Doing so will put the problem right back on your phone. So unless you have an earlier backup - you may not - you will have to restore as a new device.
Second, don't know where you buy your cables but an Apple lightning cable is $19 direct from Apple. Sometimes they're cheaper if you buy from Amazon or other online retailers. And even less if you buy a reputable third-party cable (never buy off brand!).
finally, a new cable does not necessarily mean it works, though that would be unusual. First try resetting your iPhone. This will work even if it's in recovery mode. Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If that works, your good to go. If not, report back. But again, remember, restoring that backup will place the restrictions back on your iPhone.

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.

Failed restore from TM, disk now reporting problems.

Hello,
I have, unfortunately, landed in a bad position... My Macbook was last backed up last May with Time Machine. A few days ago, the internal hard drive in the Macbook went bad and was replaced with a new one by Apple. They installed 10.5.5 on the machine, so the welcome video starts up when I turn it on. At the genius bar, they told me to use the time machine backup option after the welcome video to restore my files. However, when I select that option, the window does not show the external hard drive I use to store the time machine backup.
Since no drive or backup was listed in that window, I assumed that this problem was caused by an incompatibility between 10.5.5 (which Apple installed on the new hard drive) and the older version of the system stored in my TM backups from last May (maybe 10.5.3?). Plus, I can see all the TM backups when I plug the drive into my other computers.
I booted the Macbook off the OS 10.5 DVD, and I selected the Restore from TM Backup option. This quickly pulled up the backup info from the external hard drive, and it began the restore process. Toward the end of the restore, the process failed, and it suggested I restart and try again. I restarted (booting off DVD again) and tried to restore again. This time, it told me that it can't access the files and the disk may have problems. I plugged the disk into another computer and ran "verify" in disk utility. It said "invalid index key," the volume needs to be repaired- Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
Here's my problem- I'm not sure that I want to mess with repairing the drive, as I don't want to potentially screw up the TM backup file structure. I don't have another copy of the info in these TM backups, since the original internal hard drive crashed and this is my restore option. Should I use a program like Superduper to make a copy before attempting a repair on the external drive? Is it likely a repair on the drive will screw up the TM backup data? I'm not really sure how to proceed safely.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.
~ Dan

Hi, Glenn,
Thanks for the suggestions. As an update, I did two clones of the drive using SuperDuper onto two other external drives. Both of those clones were successful, but none of the time machine backup data pulls up through the Leopard DVD, Time Machine itself, or through Migration Assistant. Disk utility finds errors in the data on both of the clones, but fixing the errors doesn't help the situation in any way.
In efforts to clean up the disk errors or pull the data off the drives manually, I have used Disk Warrior, Data Rescue II, File Salvage, and Disk Utility. Unfortunately, none of these apps have worked as a fix. I can't even seem to salvage the individual files to transfer them manually, leading me to believe that Time Machine is a deck of cards when part of the files become corrupted... What is frustrating is that I was able to see all of the backup files when I began the first restore process. Now I can't see them at all. I've never had a problem with the external disk drive, and all the utility programs seem to indicate that the problems are with the files versus the drive.
Any other ideas on how to get these files extracted? Given the 60GB or so of data recorded on the disk, I know the info is sitting there somewhere... I just can't get to it.
Thanks for the help!

WebForms, Security, Business Rules restore in Planning

Hello everybody,
I am working on Hyperion System 9 (shared services, essbase, BI+, planning etc) with Oracle 10g relational repositories.
I know Planning has 2 command line tools (FormDefUtil.cmd, ExportSecurity.cmd) that allow us to export Planning web data forms and security in txt file.
My question is: If I don't have the exported files for web forms and security (because my client didn't know about the existence of the 2 tools above and so there is no backup of web form and security) is there another way to restore them?
Could I use the database backups to restore web forms and security? We do make a backup every night of all Hyperion schemas .
Same question for Business Rules. My client never made a backup of them (never exported them as .xml), can they be restored from the database's backup?
If web forms, security, BR can be restored from database, what are the steps to be followed in order to perform such an operation?
Thank you for you help!
Daniela

Hi,
If there has been a backup of the relational database then you will be able to restore the database from a previous day over the current database.
You need to stop planning first, restore database, start planning, log in to make sure everything is alright.
That is the usual way to restore the planning elements.
The EAS database will follow the same sort of concept.
Cheers

Problem With Restoring My Iphone

Hi all, i recently got my new Iphone, i go onto settings>icloud>storage and backup>manage storage and see that i have an icloud back up from my last Iphone which has got all my stuf on it.Great!. i also have my ipad backup that hasnt been backed up for a long time, but when i got to my mac to restore it it only gives me the option to restore from my ipad one even tho on my phone it shows my ex-Iphone. Thanks allot Guys, hope tooo see a reply.

Besides the drop in the pool, your bigger problems started when you tried the jailbreak, then opening it and replacing the battery and all of that. If you had come here when you first dropped it in the water, or when the first restore wouldn't work, then we could have told you to get an out of warranty replacement. Since you opened it, Apple won't offer that to you any longer either. You have unfortunately put yourself in a position that you will have to either purchase a new phone at full price, or see if you can get a subsidy from your carrier or take the device to a 3rd party repair. You are out of luck here. I'd watch who's suggestions you follow next time.
