How do i get to a previous backup

I need to restore a previous icloud backup. How do I do that?

Randers4,
The iOS 7 update froze midway thru and then proceeded to wipe my iphone 4 clean last night. When I followed your steps I realized the restore was pulling from the wrong iCloud accout so once I deleted and set the new one the restore pulled in all my contacts, email accts, pics, notes, etc. It may sound simple, but no one at the apple store, phone support, or online chat suggested it and just thought my data was gone. Your post was a savior thanks so much.

How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

A couple of options. Do you want your whole library on the other drive or just media? You can split media between drives starting with now, but this will be a big nuisance when you come to move your library in the future.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I back up everyday and then my iphone synced before i could restore, how do I restore to a previous backup

I back up everyday so that I can have piece of mind to restore, but my itunes synced and updated the backup to the way my phone was before I had the chance to do anything. How can I restore to a previous backup?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

How do I restore to a previous backup?

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process. If you have any newer data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. When you're done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

I have an iphone 4S and stupidly let it update to iOs 7 and now I cant get wifi or bluetooth. Anyone know how I can get back the previous update when my iphone was working perfectly?

Your WiFi/Bluetooth chip has failed. Bring the phone (and $199 if outside the warranty period) to Apple for replaceement.

Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
Downgrading iOS is not allowed.
What are your problems?
Maybe if you list them here we can help you to fix them.

Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
Cheers,

HT201269 how do I get the encrypt iPhone backup password? I'm trying to restore my phone and its asking me enter the password to to unlock your iPhone backup

how do i get the encrypt iphone backup password??

If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your backup data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups, & restore your phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

I accidentally deleted my backup from icloud on my iphone and now when I go into icloud in the settings it doesn't give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore? How can I get my phone to backup to icloud again?

I accidentally deleted the latest backup for my iphone 6 on icloud like a week ago and now I can't backup my phone to icloud at all. When I go into settings, then into icloud, and then into manage my storage it does not give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore. How do I get the "backup my iphone now" option in the manage my storage part of the icloud setting? Thanks.

Hey guys I figured out how to solve the issue.
You need to go to settings>general>restrictions.
Turn off restrictions and your iCloud and twitter will start working.
Enjoy.

I had to reinstall Lion because my computer was non responsive. Now all my stuff (applications, etc) are gone. I have a time machine backup - does that have my applications and if so how do I get them from the backup to my computer? It is power mac 2 x2.8

It is power mac 2 x2.8 GHz Quad core intel xeon running 10.7.3 - purchased in 2006
Or how can I transfer the appliucations form my laptop?

Ok. I have 2 hard drives and one of them died apparently so..not knowing what to do, I did chose reinstall Lion after command r open start-up. The whole thing is a mess but my computer is back up and running with the second hard drive. I had a time machine backup which I've been dragging stuff out of. i had to re enter serial numbers and do all sorts of initial set up stuff. 1) How do I get all of my icons (like my HD icon and external drives icons) to appear on my desktop again? I can only find them through a finder window. 2) i now have to type a password to get into my computer (user) - I 'm the only user and don't want to have to do that.

HT1349 How do I get off an iCloud backup pop up that has locked my ipad screen?

When I opened my ipad cover it had a pop up that said I hadn't backup my iCloud in 5 weeks and now the pop up won't go away. It acts like I am pushing the cancel button but won't go away or let me shut down. How do I get it to go away?

First thing I'd try is a reboot: Press and hold BOTH the poer and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

If you have your full contact list on your iPhone 3, simply sync iPhone contacts to your PC (Outlook or Windows Address Book). Next, import the contact entries from your PC back to your iPhone 4.
