How do I get a backup in my AppData folder on to iTunes?

I can't restore my iPhone from a backup after a software update. The backup is not showing in iTunes but I can see it in my Application Data folder. How do I get the backup on iTunes?

I am also having the same problem

    Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11.

    If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
    When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
    Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
    Good luck

    I have an encrypted back up and can't remember the password. I can't back up to icloud either (maybe because of that). How do I get a backup I can use?

    Either remember your backup password, or you don't.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Connect phone to computer.
    Select Restore.
    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
    Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

  • How can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

    how can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

    If you connect your iPhone to a computer running Linux (Ubuntu version in my case) it will become recognized as a normal USB memory pen-drive.
    From there, you can use many methods to recover your lost deleted files.
    TestDrive allows you to search the drive (iPhone memo) and gives you the possibility to recover deleted files. I'm not an expert, nor did it with iDevice by myself. But it worked for me with Symbian phone (Nokia)...

    I've had to reset my computer, how do I get my backups and music back?

    It's a bit late now. You will need to use third-party software such as Phone to PC in order to transfer the files to your new iTunes library. For items purchased from the iTunes Store you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
    - Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)
    - deTune (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/detune/ - Mac, 10.5+

  • My desktop with iTunes crashed, how do i get my music on my phone to the new Itunes on my laptop?

    Have you not got a backup of your content on external drives and/or CDs/DVD ? If so then you can copy that onto the computer and load them into iTunes. Have you tried doing File > Transfer Purchases in iTunes with the phone connected to see if any of you purchases transfer over ? If you are in the US then you should also be able to re-download past music purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you havn't bothered backing up your content then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned on this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

  • I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously.  My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes?  Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

  • How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air.  How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    thanks for the hint Chris.  I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
    Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
    If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
    You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
    Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
    Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
    Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
    Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
    On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
    Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
    After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
    You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
    Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
    After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with.
