How can i restore my iphone from a back up that is not listed on itunes

I need to restore my iPhone from a backup that is not listed in the itunes backup section. I only did it at 6 pm yesterday. Is there a way to find this backup on my computer and return it to the itunes backup list?

Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

  • How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

    I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

    The  iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.

  • How can i restore my iPhone from an older back-up?

    Hi there,
    Recently, my iPhone 4 was restored by Apple. When I plugged my iPhone in to iTunes it automatically synced and did a back-up. It then restored my phone with the apps and music that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up, however not with the contacts or photos.
    Is there any possible way to restore my iPhone with the photos and contacts that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up? Is there a way to restore your iPhone from an older back-up (not the latest one)? Please help!! PLEASE!!

    Hi AnaMusic,
    Thanks for your reply. I don't really understand your answer though. I plugged my iPhone into iTunes with the intention of restoring from my latest back-up as I have lost all my photos and contacts on my phone. However, when I plugged it in it automatically did a sync and a back-up. Now when I click restore from back-up it just restores to what I have on my iPhone now, because that was the latest back-up (it did it automatically). Do you understand what I mean?
    What I am wondering is whether or not I am able to restore my contacts and photos from my last iTunes back-up (before today's one)?
    Thanks.
    P.S - My photos and contacts did not save to Address Book and iPhoto if that helps.

  • How can I restore my iPhone from a different backup?

    Okay I don't know if this is possible, but it would really make my life easier if someone knew how to do this.
    My old iPhone was named Joe's iPhone. It had all my contacts, pics, apps, everything. That phone broke and my Mom gave me her old iPhone, both are 3g. So on my computer I obviously had sync'd my old phone (Joe's iPhone) and backed it up. Can I restore my Moms phone and boot it up with my old backup so I'll have all my contacts? I've tried restoring it, but I also backed up my Mom's phone on my computer so whenever I restore it, it just comes back with all her contacts. I want to chose to restore from my old phone backup.
    Is this possible? Can anyone walk me through doing that?

    Hi Joe,
    Just right-click on the iPhone(on the left side of iTunes, under Devices) and then choose Restore from Backup. Then choose the backup that has the date and name of your previous phone.

  • How can i restore my iphone from itunes if "search my Iphone" is activated

    can someone help me to restore the iphone without having to disable "find my iphone" because tildo me the phone and I can not even unlock. I can not turn off, I can not restart and itunes asks me to descative that but I can not .. please someone answer me soon not know what else to do

    If you own this iPhone, and were the original owner, and it's your Apple ID and password that are used on Find My iPhone, then go to http://www.icloud.com/find and remove your iPhone from Find My iPhone that way.
    But I suspect it is someone else's Apple ID and password being requested.  You will need to contact that person, otherwise, your iPhone will remain Activation Locked as described here:

  • HT1766 how can i restore my iphone from an old backup?

    hi! does anybody know how to restore from an old backup? I backed up my phone this morning and deleted a bunch of pictures on it to see if it would help with the issue of it being slow, it didn't. When I plugged up my phone back in, it automatically backed it up again. Now, when I try to restore it - I only have the option from the latest backup, but I need to restore it from this morning. Please help!

  • How can I disconnect my iPhone from my MacBook so that it stops informing me of incoming calls?

    I have an iPhone. I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite.
    Problem: whenever I get a phone call on the iPhone, the MacBook lets me know my phone is calling. I'm sure some people appreciate this feature, but it's very distracting if you don't want it. How do I remove it?
    It's a huge disruption to work. I keep my phone on silent far away from me so I can do work in peace but every time I get a call, my computer let's me know. i can't avoid my phone! Thanks!

    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • How can I restore my data from a backup with different Phone name?

    I recently had to restore my iphone which erased all the data. I have a backup of that data in iTunes and I want to restore it to the phone. However when I connected the phone to iTunes the first time after resetting everything, I accidently chose to create a new phone instead of restore settings and data from the backup.
    My question is, how can I restore the iPhone from this previous backup? My iPhone is currently called "untitled playlist" and the backup is called "JC's iPhone".
    Thanks,
    Jeremy
    ps. Sorry for posting twice. Nobody responded the first time, probably because I had a poor subject.

    Jeremy,
    If you restore again, you will be prompted to choose a backup or setup as a new phone again. Then you can just choose your old backup.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • How can I restore iCloud files from my lost iPhone

    I backed up my files to icloud. But I lost my Iphone last week. How can I restore my files from icloud to my macbook ?

    Are you using Photostream?  If yes, then you will be able to see your 1000 most recent photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
    All your contacts, calendar events, emails, etc. will still be on your Mac as part of iCloud.
    If you didn't import your videos from your iPhone to your Mac, then you've lost them unless you can restore your cloud backup to another iOS device.

    I AM RUNNING AROUND TO GET IT RESTORED. ANYONE THERE WHO COULD HELP.
    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    How can i restore my documents from icloud on my iphone if i have already gone through the setup process??

    Back to the beginning...
    What do you mean by "documents"?  Word or Pages files, spreadsheet files?
    Also, on your device, in Settings>iCloud, you have to have an on/off setting for Docments&Data.  If not what kinds of entries do you have on that screen?
