    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • TS4036 I've got a new iPad I'm trying to do an iCloud back up but keep being given the following message: no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.1.3) on this iPad. How do I restore I cloud on my new device?

    How do I restore info from iCloud onto my new device?

    You would have to update your device first, before you can restore your iPad from your backup. Resolution: set it up as anew device, then update your device to the latest version "Settings > General > Updates", then reset your device again "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings" and then after the iPad restarts again, choose to restore your device from your backup.

  • How can I email my iPhone backup from one computer to another?  And then how do I restore my iPhone to this backup once it's on the new computer?

    I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook, but then I lost that iPhone.  When I plugged in a different iPhone to his computer, it did ask me if I wanted to restore it as my old phone, so I must have backed up at least some of the data to his iTunes.  I saw that you can locate the folder where my iPhone was backed up, so can he just email me the folder (he lives in a different country)?  And then if I get this folder, how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

    I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
    Why would you do that, and not on your own computer?  See the hassle it caused you?
    can he just email me the folder
    Backup files are too big to email.  Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
    how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

  • I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS.  I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts.  How?

    Current phone 4S with service from one provider.  Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative.  Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

    Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
    The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
    And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there.  No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact.  Maybe it can't done.  A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

  • How do I restore a Time Machine backup to a new hard drive in an iMac 5.1?

    Hi all,
    I recently had a hard drive failure in my mid-2006 iMac 5.1 and have now installed a new drive.  The iMac was previously running an up-to-date version of OSX 10.7 - Lion.  However I've struggled to restore the machine from its Time Machine backup, trying using both Setup Assistant which has never allowed me to overwrite my startup files with the restore, and several attempts using Migration Assistant and following Pondini's Migration Problems tutorial, which worked partially, but has left me with a series of files/folders, many of which have Permissions problems.
    The most recent attempt, using Migration Assistant is giving me a new error message:
    You can't transfer from your other Mac to this one because your other Mac uses a newer version of Mac OS X.  You must upgrade this Mac before you can transfer from your other Mac.
    I'm getting it that the Time Machine data is more current (in terms of OSX) than my desktop machine - which I have prepared using my Snow Leopard start-up disc (but wonder why this is the first time that I'm getting told this on attempting to restore).  But how do I get my iMac to a state whereby I can restore from the Time Machine?
    I can't upgrade the Mac using Software Update as this will only get me to OSX 10.6.8 (which is where I currently am, although some applications don't seem to want to work in this state - App Store, Safari on occasion); I can't download OSX 10.7 from the App Store as it is no longer there, and I can't install OSX 10.8 as my iMac is not compatible with this release.  I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop from which I don't seem to be able to get out of.
    Can anyone help at all?
    Many thanks in advance for any contributions & apologies if I've omitted any crucial information that might be needed to help me out.
    Paul

    Thanks den.thed,
    Apologies for not replying back sooner - I've been away.
    Although your suggestion helped me in getting a copy of Lion that I could use, it didn't help with the restore from Time Capsule issue.  I had to download the Lion app onto my MacBook & then transfer it across but it wouldn't let me upgrade my OS for some reason, so I ended up wiping the iMac completely and restoring via my Snow Leopard install disk.  For some reason, this time, it let me have the option of using Setup Assistant to access the Time Capsule for a complete restore.
    Now, over a week later, with various bits of tweaking and reinstalling some apps that didn't seem to come across, I have my system back.
    Thanks for the help anyway.
    Cheers,
    Paul

  • How to restore machine using a TM backup on a usb hard drive from older imac to a brand new iMac?

    My imac (the one that had a superdrive in it), had a broken superdrive and was sent for repair. Whilst being "repaired" the screen was broken. I now have a brand new imac albeit without a dvd drive. My question is how to I restore my the old TM back up which had been made to an external usb hard drive to the new imac. Help files say that I should not restore from a TM file to a different machine and that I should use migration assistant. Whilst I can see the external usb drive in TM it is not being recognised in Migration assistant when I click on back up from a TM backup on another machine or disk.
    Any ideas?
    Just noticed that this new machine is running OSX 10.8.4  the broken imac was on mavericks

    This is very simple first run Software Update on the new machine and get your machine upgraded to the most recent version of Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Install all other software updates Apple recommends in Software Update. Then care fully read Pondini's guide on using Migration Assistant located at:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    Your migrated data will be in a new account, to access it log into the new account.
    Also DO NOT repeat DO NOTuse Wi-Fi to migrate data, if your TM backup drive uses USB, then connect it via USB and follow the on-screen instructions as described in Pondini's guide.

  • How can I restore my 4S to an earlier backup after I transferred the backup file from my old computer to a new one

    My case is a little bit complicated:
    I had an iPhone, which was backed up with a Windows XP computer.
    Then I bought a MacBook Pro, and I transferred the iPhone backup file to the MacBook Pro's corresponding location.
    Then I bought a new iPhone, and I plugged the new phone into the MCBK pro.
    But iTunes does not tell me how I can restore the new iPhone 4S with the old backup file.
    What can I do?
    Thank you!

    If the backup is not listed is Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage then no other backups exist.

  • How can I restore my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5?

    How can I use the my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to update all my apps on my new iPhone 5?  I just registered it and it is a later version of the backup.  Can I reboot it now that I have a more current backup from my iPhone 4?

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have already set up your iPhone 5 you will have to erase it and go back through the setup again.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you are restoring to you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How do i restore my old phones Backup on my new phone

    I just had my phone replaced and cannot figure out how to restore all my information that is (or atleast should be) on backup on my computer?

    When you connect your new phone, itunes running, Right-click (or Control-click) your phone in the device pane, and choose Restore from Backup. Follow this by syncing your itunes content back to your phone. The only things that won't ne restored are passwords for wifi & email. These are not restored for security reasons.
