How do I restore to a previous back up

I downloaded and application from the internet and now I cannot locate it anywhere on my computer.  I'm worried that it may contain malware of some sort so I would like to restore my computer to a previous back up on Time Machine however whenever I open TM the "restore" button is grayed out.  What am I missing?
Thanks

What was the application and from where did you download it?  Did you use your browser to download it?  If so check the Downloads folder in your Home folder or the folder that is set in the browser's preferences.

  • I bought a new phone and backed up my old one, while trying to restore the new phone I backed up the new phone before before restoring it completely.  How do I restore from a previous back up

    Is there a way to restore a back up which isn't your last back up?

    According to icloud support documentation icloud keeps last three backups. As long as you only backed up new phone once - you should be ok. Erase your new phone by going to settings -general- reset- erase content and settings and start restore over. Wait till you see available backups and carefully pick one you need. Give it plenty of time, restore visibly takes a short time, but it is not real - I d advise to restore overnight.

  • 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.

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

  • I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

    I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

  • HT4859 how do I restore to a previous backup?

    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.

  • IPhoto crashed and all content is now missing, how do I restore/get all content back?

    My iPhoto crashed as I was trying to export a selected number of photos (to send to colleagues with Windows PC) and all content is missing. How do I restore/get all content back and in the same formet ie in their original events that I set up?

    Hi Terence, here goes:-
    iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)
    Snow Leopard Mac OS X (latest update)
    I had selected about 7 photos to export into 'pictures' so that I could send them by email to colleagues who don't have Apple. On returning to iPhoto all the content had disappeared and the photos I had selected did not export.
    It happened on Thursday 21st Feb, nothing had been installed or deleted but I did update the latest software fairly recently (usual automated update etc). I am able to still use iPhoto but when I click the red button to close the application, it closes completely from my machine - the blue highlight button underneath the icon disappears and it does not remain in the background where I would usually have to click on 'iPhoto' in the top left hand corner.
    No error messages
    Attempted to restore by accessing Time Capsule - that's another matter/problem I will need to address separately (user error I reckon on this aspect!).
    As far as I know I use iPhoto as it should be ie I have all my photos in Events (not albums)
    Thanks

    My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
    Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.

  • How do I restore files that were backed up by Adobe?

    How do I restore Files that were backed up by Adobe?

    Where is the back-up e.g. on removable storage such as CD, DVD or external hard drive?

    Launch the Elements program.
    Login to your photoshop.com account
    Open Organizer
    On the menu click Edit à Preferences à Backup/Synchronization
    You should see all of your albums and media files on your photoshop.com account.
    Mark those checkboxes that you want to restore to your computer.
    Click OK.
    N.B. Elements can only sync files back down to your hard drive which reside in albums on Photoshop.com
