How do I restore a backup CD of iTunes? The process keeps stalling and quits responding

iTunes stalls operation and quits responding when I try to import iTunes backup files from a backup CD. 68 files made it before it quit restoring the rest completely.
Also, I downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of the program, however it shows up in the Task Manager as 32 bit when I attempt to end process. I have a new 64 bit machine.
Any help would be appreciated. I want my 1,600 tunes back. It's driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.

There is a 64-bit installer, but the core application is still 32-bit.
iTunes hasn't provided its own CD backup routine for a couple of years. What was used to make the backup discs? Were they verified on the source computer? Do you still have it? Are the files on an iPod or iOS device?

  • HT4859 How do you restore a backup from iCloud?  My notes somehow disappeared and I can't figure out how to restore

    My notes disappeared for some reason.  How do I restore from iCloud?  Went into backup but couldn't find an option for restoring!  Help?

    The backup will first restore you app data and other settings, it will then restart and restore your camera roll photos, apps and other purchased media.
    If you're concerned about losing purchased media you can always transfer them to your iTunes librarry first.  To do this, make sure your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your media (in iTunes: Store>Authorize This Computer).  Then connect your phone and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This way, should anything go missing you can always sync it back from iTunes.
    iCloud should maintain your last three backups.  You will be asked to choose which backup to restore to after choosing to restore to iCloud backup and signing into your iCloud account during the setup screens.

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

    When i try to restore my Back up using Itunes this is the message i get - "Unable to restore backup as the software is old - Please setup as a new device and then try to restore your backup" - Please advise. If i do so are there any chances of loosing my data. At this point in time i would be happy if i could just retreive my contacts list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

  • How can i restore my backup from hard drive, it says files modified by OSX

    Hello
    Before i update my mac i backup all my files to the external hard drive after i update it to OSX (10.9)i can not restore them, due to new update i had to change my hard drive thats how i lost all my files
    please guid me how can i restore my files
    regards

    Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
    I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.

  • My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

    My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

    iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting.  With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside.  There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
    Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash.  If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder.  If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • HT4859 how do i restore icloud backup to existing iphone not a new device

    how do i restore icloud backup to an existing phone not a new device

    You need to perform a reset (settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen).  This will delete everything on the device.  Then connect to iTunes and it will offer to perform a reset from either iTunes backup or iCloud.  Take it from there.

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

  • My laptop was wiped by a virus.when i downloaded itunes again a went to sync my phone it says all music will be wiped.how do i restore my music to my itunes account..

    my laptop was wiped by a virus.when i downloaded itunes and logged into my account,i tried to sync my phone but it says all my music will be wiped.how do i restore my music to my itunes account.

    If you reinstalled Windows, it is likely that all your data was lost. If that is the case, you should restore from backup.
    If you don't have a backup, but you have an iPod, you can recover from that, see:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11857427#11857427
    If you are in the US, you can recover purchased tracks from the store using the "Purchased" link in Quick links.
    If all your data was not deleted, you will need to explain exactly what remains before help can be given.

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
