Getting backup details--what was backed up?

Is there a way to find out the details of what was included in a specific backup?
My computer just backed up about 3 Gigs of data after already making a different backup today. My Parallels folder is already excluded so I know that it's not that. Besides, I haven't used Parallels in several days so it would be unchanged.
I'd like to be able to "see"/discover what files were backed up in the currently running backup.

I'd still like to know the answer to this, but I think I just realized what the 3 Gig probably was. It's possible that it was the first full backup after updating my system tonight--10.5.5, Java, Front Row, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility, and Remote Desktop Client Update.
Since I've finished it already, I can't really go back and add up the total size of those updates, but it's very possible that the combination of those 5 things, came close to 3 Gigs.

TS4036 can I see what was backed up when I did my storage upgrade icloud?

I upgraded my icloud account, and my iphone backed up. Now that I have lost my phone how do I see what was successfully backed up or not?

The only way to see what was backed up is by restoring form the backup. All of you purchased content, app data and camera roll photos should be in the iCloud backup, but you can't actually see what is in the backup anywhere.
Take alook at this.

Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.

HT4865 How can I view what was backed up in icloud

How can I view my stuff that was backed up in icloud

You are wrong. The data shown at www.icloud.com is not the contents of an iCloud backup. That is the data which is 'synced' between devices and computers - it is not a backup.
You should learn the difference between an iCloud backup data, and iCloud synced data. They are not the same.
Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 about what an iCloud backup is and what it contains.

If I backed up an old iphone that broke, is there a way to restore that stuff without erasing the content that's already on my new phone? And if I were to back up the content on my new phone would that erase what was backed up from the old device?

Some quick and important questions about icloud that I can't find on the internet

It sounds like you restored the backup of your old phone to your new phone.
Unless you backed up the new phone first or manually copied the pictures off prior to restoring the backup, the pictures are gone.

HT4859 Where do you go to find what was backed up. Is there any way to look at it.

I had photos from a trade show that were erased when I did an upgrade before I had snyced them with itunes. I wondered if the backup somehow has them.

I know this has been asked, but with 10.5.2 out I was wondering if it now logs what was backed up each time somewhere. I have looked over some of the logs and all I can find are summaries of what happened. Below is my summary.

If you're that concerned, you should probably also get a second external drive, on which you do bootable backups (with a program like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner), as well as putting your important files on a portable storage device (like a memory stick or a DVD), and keep that offsite. That will ensure your files are safe.
Good luck!
EDIT: I have just found this Mac OS X Hints article, which does what you want, although it doesn't seem all that user-friendly from the description.

If there is a possible query to get this please post it .If you are referring to the whole database, then it is not possible to get this list.
Also, if auditing is not enabled you cannot track what changes have been done by the application user, so if this is a requirement you need to enable auditing.

I just got a warranty replacement for my touch gen4.I didn't do anykind of backup other than my usal sync with itunes. WHat do I have to do to get itunes to sync everything back like the old one? I was planning for a repair not a replacement.

You can restore from the backup of the old one.

I had something that help me find the last pages and recentpages I visited but I had to reinstall fox fire and it's gone how do i get it back and what was it call

I open a new tab and recent pages, last pages and most visited pages, would be displayed but I had to uninstall fox fire then reinstall and now it gone. How do I get that back? What was it call.

You have probably simply opened a blank Layout template which has no default text area. In Layout documents you need to add textboxes to the page.
Just start over from the Tempalet Chooser and pick a Word Processing document (see the sidebar titles) or a template with actual content in it already.

Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.
