Help! No info.plist, manifest.plist, or status.plist on Iphone backup...data can not be recovered

I'm at a lost here, I created a backup of my iphone before I updated my firmware. When I went to go restore from backup, I noticed it did not backup completely. I checked the 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' and noticed that the folder that carries my backup does not have the info.plist, manifest.plist, or status.plist files?? All the data seems to be intact, just no way to extract it. I already tried to use iPhone Backup Extractor, did not work. Somebody please help me out, I don't want to be out of luck. I'm missing all my past important SMS history, curcial Notes and emails.
Thanks ahead of time,

If your backup is corrupted you cannot retrieve data from it.
I've been working on a tool that repairs most iPhone (iPad, iPod Touch) backups that iTunes reports as corrupted -- it seems to be working fairly well for people we've had using it lately! If someone stumbles on this post and wants to try it out, the program is Decipher Backup Repair, and you can try it here:
http://deciphertools.com/download-decipher-backup-repair.html
As other people in the thread have mentioned, you can also try some third-party programs to read the backup and pull-out the important data so you at least have it in some capacity. We have one on the website I've linked above, in addition to the repair software.
I hope this helps someone who finds this thread! Dealing with iTunes backups can be really painful, and I know it's horribly depressing to wait through a restore to get the corrupted message after SEVERAL minutes.
(Note: As I mentioned, I work on the backup fixing software I linked to, so I stand to benefit, financially or otherwise, from the links I've provided.)

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

Indesign says file damaged can not be recovered HELP!

Hello, I just tried to open a very important file and the resultant dialog box says
"Can not open file. File damaged. Can not be recovered."
the file has all of my important accounting data in it. Does any one have any alternative ways for opening this file.
Please Help
Thank you in advance

Best hope is probably sending it to Markzware, unless you have a license for Quark and the ID2Q and Q2ID plugins. They cahrge around $200 I believe, if successful.

On my Iphone 4, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. help?

On my Iphone 4s, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. A few days before that the speaker suddenly stopped working during a call. I also reset everything by connecting to itunes but no luck then. help?

Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only contact the seller through eBay and ask them to remove their details from the phone via iCloud.com

My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date. I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with. Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

Info.plist issues with Core Data

I created a new project, selecting to use Core Data. However, the info.plist does not include the standard iPhone project options like status bar style and icon gloss etc. I tried copying and pasting the status bar style key and value from another project's plist, but this has no effect.
Any help would be appreciated please.

Shine is added by Apple now. I get shine without a 'prerendered' key.
What SDK are you working with?
Did you add a 'prerendered' key?
<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>

Need Urgent help please? I need to restore from a previous iphone backup.

Oops, I admit it - I messed up but need help please?? I received a replacement iphone today. My broken iphone OS and my itunes had the latest software updates and I did a full backup before going to the store to get the rerplacement. However, when I got home with the replacement iphone and plugged it in, it asked if I wanted to update the OS on it. I made the mistake of saying yes. It then made a backup of the empty factory settings from the new replacement and restored from that rahter than the backup I made before going to the store. Yes I know I should have said no and just did the restore which would have resotred my previous backup that I made before going to the store. Then after everything would be allright I could have told it to update the OS.
You can slap my in the face or I will do it myslef for making such a stupid mistake. All ready did the "I should have had a V" thing to my forehead.
After seeing the restore was fromthe factory settings rather than my earlier good backup, I went into my documents and drilled down to the mobile sync backup and saw that one of the three folders (with giberish as a title) has a lot of information with the date and time I did the backup before going to the store.
Could I possibly delete the later (factory setting backup) folder and then do a restore to get my good backup onto the iphone? I didn't do that yet in fear that it might mess something else up on the iphone and I wanted to check with you experts here first for guidance and assistance, PLEASE?
I'll be anxiously awaiting any help you can give!
Thank you!!

Hopt and OneOrangeTree, Thank you both very much for replying!!
It took me a long time to get back to the dissucison group because I tried both of your suggestions which therfore had to do about 4 restores. They take quite a while (about 50 minutes each actually). Your help got me half way there and is very apprecaited! I did manage (with your excellent help) to get most of my backup put onto the replaced iphone. the photos, music, and videos didn't get put over. I think I can move those back over by making sure they are selected in the seperate tabbed screens for the iphone. However, I can't get to those screens because every time I connect the iphone now, it brings up the "set up your phone screen". The one with the "an iphone has been previously synced with this compter" setup as new phone or restore from ....
Well I did the resotre from 3 times and that page still comes up when I plug in the iphone. Yes, I did close itunes, reboot the PC, and powered off the iphone and then brouhgt it back up before connecting (all several times), but itunes still takes me to the same "setup iphone screen".
Can you help me to get it to the standard iphone screen and there I will make sure the selected items are checked and do a sync.
Please know I do appreicate your kind assistance so far and hope someone can get me the rest of the way!
The "Backup" do not store your Applications, Music, Video's. It saves your settings, your application preferences, etc.

HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

Airport Network status says Internet failed and I can not connect wirelessly. Ethernet connection works fine. Why can't I connect?

A few days ago, my Airport Express wireless connection stopped working. The network status lights for Internet and Servers are RED and indicate failure. My Ethernet connection works fine. Any idea what my problem is?
Thanks,

You could try a Safe Boot - restart holding down the shift key until the grey progress bar appears. When it's booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If that doesn't help you could try an SMC reset:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Since Ios 7 Update of my iPhone 5 I can not log into any WLAN any more - who can help to solve this major problem

Hi all,
I updated my iPhone 5 recently to IOS 7 - Since then I do not get any access to my home WLAN / WIFI with the iphone 5.
At same time the iphone 3S and IPAD 1 of my wife (both IOS 5.x) still work fine in our homes WLAN / WIFI.
Who can help to get my Iphone 5 with IOS 7 back to work in the home WIFI ?
Thanks in advance for any possible solution.
Best regards
Dirk from Hamburg Germany

Try this first.
On the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks and settings.
If no change after this, try resetting your modem and wireless router. Disconnect the router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by powering your modem back on allowing it to completely reset before powering your wireless router back on allowing it to completely reset with the modem.
