Help, I do not see a backup to restore from

My iPad2 crashed as I was trying to update to iOs7, and I lost everything. My assumption is that everything was backed up on iCloud, and everything that was on my iPad seems to appear on an auto-populated list; however, there are no backups for me to restore from. I really am not concerned with most of what was lost, but some of the pictures and videos are irreplaceable. Does anybody know what I need to do?

So you already started the process "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Settings and Content" and tried to choose from a backup after the iPad started again using the same Apple ID for iCloud that you used before?
If yes and you couldn't see a backup to choose from, then you won't have one and unfortunately wouldn't be able to restore it from a backup. At least some your latest pictures and maybe videos should be retrieved, if you also used photo stream, but unfortunately most of your data would be gone.

  • TM Full system recovery does not see my backup folder

    Hello to you all Apple/Mac lovers ,
    So, as the title mentions, I need to do a full system backup after an HD failure. No problem so far my last backup was 11 minutes before the problem happened. Now, I re-installed Leopard and followed the instructions to proceed to a full system recovery. But the recovery software does not detect my external hard-disk or does not see the backup in it ... what's wrong ? What information would you need to help me solve that ? Thanks in advance ,
    Charles

    Are you doing this from within the Leopard installer or is this post installation? If the latter are you trying to migrate from your TM backup in Setup Assistant or are you simply trying to do a basic restore from your TM backup drive? If the latter be sure you change the Computer Name in Sharing preferences to match the one used before your reinstall.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

  • HT2623 Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PS is on.

    Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PStream is on. Everything else appears...I have just purchased more iCloud space and want to delete photos for a trip so I can take more...I have 0 bytes left

    You won't find photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you're looking.  They only appear on devices signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.
    If you want to delete photo stream photos, you delete them from one of your devices.  However, photo stream photos do not count against your iCloud storage so deleting them will not free up additional space in your account.
    Also, be sure you don't use iCloud to back up your photos.  Photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days, although up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted.  To keep your photos, save them all to the camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
    I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

  • I am not see in iPhoto 09 pictures from mobileme gallery

    I am not see in iPhoto 09 pictures from mobileme gallery. in me iPhoto is Mobileme gallery and in this are various albums.

    This is a long shot but try this:
    1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
    2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
    3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
    4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
    5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.

  • I had a backup of my data in android 4.0, I degraded it to version 2.3, Now I want to restore it, but I do not find the backup and restore option in Version 2.3.

  • TS4036 Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud.  You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

    Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud.  You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

    Have you shared your AppleID with anyone - family member or spouse?  Any given AppleID can only be associated with 10 devices at a time (five of which can be computers).  Once you reach that limit, the 90 day timeout applies before that AppleID can be associated with another, new, device.
    You can see the explanation here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    All you can do is wait the 90 days, sorry but I know of no way around that.  If you think the message indicates an error though, then use the Express Lane web support pages to send a note to the AppleID support folks.

  • HT201269 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

    I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

    What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

  • PSE 12.1 not seeing prior backup for incremental backup

    I had the trial version of PSE 12 in place and did a prior backup less than a month ago. It is 309 GB.
    I started having problems with the backup with the trial version so I purchased the license, downloaded the program again to reinstall, and did the update to 12.1. 
    Now, when I try to do an incremental backup, it does not see the prior backup file. I go to the exact spot where it is located.  I can see the file when i use "my computer" to navigate to it.
    The back up is going to an external drive.  There is 1.2 TB free of the 3TB total on the external drive.
    I have Windows 7 SP1, 32 bit.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 settings
    and any lockfiles with the same names. That library is hidden in 10.7 and up. To see it, click the Go menu in the finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there go to the saved application states folder and delete any for PSE.

    It can't be done on the iPad using iPhoto for iOS.  You need to use iPhoto for the Mac.

    Hi I am trying to restore my iphone from the itunes back and  it is asking me for a password, I don't ever remember putting a password in. how do i get the password reset?
    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.
