Restore backup #1 to device.
Import (to your computer) the photos that are restored to the device.
Restore backup #2.
Import (to your computer) the photos that are restored to the device.
Repeat as needed if you have multiple backups.
Then, restore whichever backup has the other, most relevant data.
You can then use iTunes to sync whatever photos that are on your computer to your iPhone.

  • I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking?  Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
    The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
    The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox.  When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
    All users are in the folder "/Users/"

  • How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?  I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

    How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

    Thanks for your reply, Jim.  I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD.  In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD.  When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names"  and "Submit CD Track Names".   I cannot find an option to Join Tracks.  Help!

    Use your backup from your old iPhone to restore your new one (assuming you have done iCloud backups or in iTunes). Also try looking at this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201269

  • HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud".   How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

    After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud"  plus "Contacts from iCloud".  How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • How can I merge two iTunes folder, one with music and the other without?

    Two years ago Apple support suggested moving my iTunes folder out of my Home folder to the HD level in order to share it across users. This is no longer necessary. How do I move my music back to my Home folder since now I have an Itunes folder at the HD level (along with application, library, system, users folders) and an Itunes folder under Music in my Home folder. For example both those itunes folders have a mobile application, album artwork, and previous itunes library subfolder as well as itunes library extras.itdb and itunes library genius.itdb. How do I merge them or which ones do I delete? The files in the mobile app folder in my Home folder have a newer "last modified" date. Currenty under Itunes-->Preferences-->Advanced, it says Itunes media location is /itunes/itunes media/ music. I assumes that is the HD level folder. What happens if I hit reset?
    I am using Itunes 10.6.3.
    Any help tailored to a novice would be great. Thanks.

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?

  • HT3275 How can I delete a backup of one of my computers from a shared time capsule?

    Hello,
    I have a Time Capsule which is used for backup with Time Capsule by two Macs.
    One of the Macs is currently offline and I want to delete it's backup manually from the Time Capsule.
    This operation takes very long and my impression is, it can not be completed.
    How can I delete the backup which is obsolete to free disk space on the Time Capsule?
    Kind Regards
    Ralph

    The fastest, simplest, and most reliable solution would be to erase the Time Capsule disk. That will only take a few minutes, but you will erase the backups of both Macs when you do this. If you don't mind starting over again on the "other" Mac, that would be the way to go.
    Few of us ever need the backups, especially backups from months and maybe years back, but I understand that it is not easy to think about erasing them and starting over with new backups.
    Deleting an individual backup will take a long time ....that is the way that it is.
    Things will go 4-5 times faster on average, and there will be much less of a chance of an error occurring if you connect the Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the process.
    Once the sparsebundle file has been deleted, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    I've done this a number of times with no problems. Basically, I setup the file to delete overnight and check the progress in the morning. In every case, the file has been completely deleted when I check.

  • How can I apply a backup of one device to a different device?

    Hello,
    This past week, my phone "fell" and the screen broke beyond all repair. And I'm not talking about a crack...I'm talking about a huge crack as well blue lines being displayed whenever I hit the home button. Other than that, the phone still works. It charges, it syncs, it vibrates when I get calls or messages but I can't see anything on the screen. I know that I can still unlock though. I managed to backup my pictures directly onto my Mac using iPhoto. Besides my pictures and Calendar dates, there wasn't much that I cared for within the actual phone.
    I went to my local phone service provider place and they told me that since my phone was a 4S and was covered for damage, I could send it to Apple in exchange for a new phone. I already contacted them and received my new 5C. Now, I'm not really worried about the pictures because they're already in my computer; I'm worried about all the Calendar dates that are in my broken 4S. Yes, I did do a backup AFTER it fell so I have a backup ready. But the thing is that I do not wish to sync this onto my new 5C just for the calendar dates.
    I have an old iPod 4th Generation that I'm willing to use to restore with the backup of my 4S but I don't know how to do that. I was hoping that I could apply the backup of my 4S onto my iPod and then manually enter all the dates that I needed onto my 5C
    If anyone knows how I can access these dates in any way, shape, or form, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Oh and I don't think I ever used iCloud for my calendar so that's just a huge setback, huh?

    Yes, you can restore the iPod Touch from the iPhone backup, provided the iPod Touch's iOS is the same or better than that of the iOS that was on the iPhone.  Example: If you had your iPhone updated to iOS 7.1.1 when you backed it up, your iPod Touch will need iOS 7.1.1   Currently only the 5th Gen iPod Touches can receive this version of iOS.  4th Gen and prior cannot update to iOS 7.
    The following article shows limitations when going from iPhone/iPod Touch to iPad or vice versa.  The iPhone and iPod Touch are essentially identical with the minor exception of the phone app.  They still have all the contacts apps, etc.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Only app data from App Store apps and sync settings will be restored to your device when you do the following:
    Restore your iPad from an iPhone or iPod touch backup.

  • How can I transfer my contacts to my new iPhone using backup assistant?

    Transferring backup assistant to new iPhone

    My problem is similar.  I upgraded from an old LG phone to an iPhone 4s.  I used the backup assistant app, and it seemed successful until I realized that only email addresses were saved as contacts in the new phone.  The old phone was not email compatible, so the old contacts are all phone numbers, so NO ZERO NADA phone numbers were moved to the new phone.
    Here's where it gets sticky.  The old phone has gone missing with all its precious phone numbers.  I was going to try to look at the contacts in backup assistant online (even though I had never done any management of contacts online in the past) and see if it still had the phone numbers or if it had magically synced the online version with the email-only contacts.
    I don't want to store my contacts in the cloud, so is there a way to access the online version of backup assistant to see if it may still have my phone number contacts? 
    Please help!  Thank you. 

  • How can i get my contacts on my new iphone

    i had a 3g that died today, i did sync it just the other day, how can i get my mobile numbers on my new iphone

    If you synced it with the computer it should have created a backup .
    Try Connecting your new phone to the computer -Right clicking on the Phones name under devices -Click restore from backup - and choose the date and time when you created that backup.
    Keep in mind any information on your phone currently before you do that will be lost, since it is putting the other phones information on the new device.
    alternatively If you Synced your contacts to windows address book, Microsoft outlook 2003/07/10, or address book on a mac - and you could just sync contacts with one of those programs.

  • How to restore a 5s backup to a new iPhone 6

    I lost my 5s at the bottom of a lake. I've been limping along with a dumb phone for the few weeks before the new iPhone 6 ships.
    I have a backup from right before I lost the 5s. I'm planning to buy an iPhone 6 right away.
    My question: Since my backup is iOS 7, not 8---and since the iPhone 6 comes with iOS 8 installed---how can I restore my data from my backup in the older iOS onto my new phone? Is it possible?

    You Welcome! Remember, Apple wants that you acquire the new models and transfer your backup from older ios or devices will be able to do it

  • I can't delete photos from my iPhone (no trashcan visible). How can I delete before I activate my new iPhone.

    It seems that once I backed up my iPhone and iPad to the cloud, whenever I did subsequent back-ups or syncs, it transferred all the photos to my iPhone. Now I can't delete them (no trashcan visible). I don't want all 430+ photos synced when I activate my new iPhone. How do I get rid of unwanted photos?
    HELP!

    It will remove all. If you don't want to remove all then leave the box checked, but then uncheck the photos you want removed. It will remove the ones that are UNCHECKED.
    It might be easier to remove all, then sync the ones you want the same way to the new phone.
