How do I sync to an old backup?

I see the list of backups, but I am not sure how to sync to a specific backup. I accidentally cleared some stuff that I want back.

If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the name of the iPhone in the Sources panel in iTunes, a drop-down menu should give you the choice to "restore from backup". Be advised, this will most likely erase anything content that you've got synced to the iPhone currently.

How do i sync from an old ipod to a new one

Restore the new Ipod from the backup of the old one. When you first connect the new iPod to the syncing computer, iTunes should tell you that it found a backup and would you like to restore the iPod from that backup or as a new iPod.

My iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!

Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud?

You have to sync from the iPhone 3 to your computer (iTunes) and then sync from the computer to the iPhone 4.

How do I sync music onto old iPod when my music is on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac?

How do I sync my music onto an old iPod when my music is located on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is stored in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac as this would be ridiculous?
Any halp with this would be excellant.
Thanks :P

Hi,
Your old pod can only sync with music that is physically in your itunes library and on your hard drive. Therefore there is simple way to resolve is to download your music to your hard drive.

Using RMAN, how do you restore from an old backup file?

HI,
I use Oracle 9i on Solaris.
I'm currently doing incremental level 0 hot backups every night using RMAN in NOCATALOG mode. The controlfile is backed up with the database. I back it up to a file (e.g. "level0_20041225.dmp"). After I back it up, it's backed up to tape using Veritas. Before doing a backup, I delete the old one first.
I need to restore a copy of the database backup that was taken a month ago. This file is on tape. How do I go about it using RMAN? The documentation is not too clear as it talks more about Restoring the control file and the latest copy of the database.
How do you restore an old copy of the database from a database file?
Pls advise
Thanks

You can recover to the last committed transaction,
provided you have the current controlfile, archived
logs since the backup and the current online logs.
Here's the procedure in a nutshell:
a) Restore datafiles from tape.
b) Recover database using restored files + current
controlfiles and archived/online logs. RMAN will prompt
you for the logs it needs for recovery.
You can also perform this type of recovery using a
backup controlfile. In this case you would still need
all logs as above. After recovery, you would have to
open the database with RESETLOGS because you are using
a backup controlfile.
If you don't want/need to recover up to the last
committed transaction, you use a backup controlfile and
perform incomplete recovery (time or change based). This
simply means that you stop the application of redo at
the time or SCN of your choice.
Most of the scenarios of interest are documented in
the following book:

How do I sync my contacts from Backup Assistant to Cloud?

I have over 400 contacts stored in Backup Assistant. I bought a Galaxy S5 and you tell me that I can't sync my contacts, right? What? Is there a solution or am I just out of luck?

Do you still have your old phone? What kind of phone was/is the old one? If your old phone is an Android and you still have it turn it on. Hook up to WiFi, Go to your contacts and change them to google Contacts. Then go into your new phone and change it to Google Contacts as well.
Then when Google syncs all of your contacts back to your phone, kill the Verizon Cloud / Backup Assistant on your phone and back them up to the very simple and fast Google. Backup Assistant is not worth the time and effort to get things half right and is probably one of the worst apps I have ever seen.

How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.
Tim

You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

Lost Windows Server Backup, historical backups. Backup seems to have restarted from a fresh full backup. How can I get to those old backups?

Scenario with very bad outlook:
Friday-16th, early AM. Win2008 SBS Server crashes due to RAID5 issues, bad disk. Found that server was NOT configured with hot spare and for some reason the controller had marked a 2nd disk bad..which turned out not to be the case.
Had a single external USB backup drive being fed by Windows Server Backup. Obtained support from vendor and was able to regain the RAID and start the server.
Soon became apparent that Exchange was having serious issues - edb was corrupt and not mountable. Restore edb from backup, repaired and was eventually able to mount. Then found it had Hub Transport issues. Researching that when it was noticed
NTFS events being logged at a high rate. Restarted system to repair the filesystem, which was successful.
After the FS repair, found the Exchange edb, new edb I had created to migrate mailboxes to, and public edb all 0k in size.
Restored the edb again and commenced repair, which eventually read Clean Shutdown again...but could not get it to mount. Exchange was having various issues seemingly with AD.
Changed backup time to avoid a backup that day, as did not want to back up while RAID was rebuilding - had inserted a replacement for the failed drive.
Monday/19th, was advised that much of the data was corrupt. This is an accounting firm and relies heavily on their data, especially since the last time their ext USB was rotated was Nov6 2013. They now have no year end backup, nor a backup from
post tax season 2014.
Is it possible to recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup/restart?
Oh, and all Shadow Copies for the impacted volume/drive are gone.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please use the “Wbadmin get versions” command to check the backup versions on the server. If there is only latest shadow copy, you may not recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup.

Remove three year old backups from TC

How do I remove three year old backups from my time capsule?
I'm using my TC for multiple macs (2 * MacBookPro 2010 and 2014 and 1 * iMac 2011).
I can imagine that the first BUP is a full and the following are incremental and that there is some logic required if you want to restore (so far never required, because everything is working fine and now crash or what so ever), but still...
Can somebody explain to me how to clean up (very) old backup data from my TC?
Onno

TM is supposed to keep itself ok.
There is no need to manually delete updates.. although if you run out of room and TM cannot work out how to compact the backup it will throw up an error.
See Q12 here for deleting manually.. not advised.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Much better.. wipe the TC and start over.. then set size limits to the three sparsebundles so each is forced to control its disk usage.
Erase the TC is easy and quick from the airport utility.. you will see it in Q12
Setting sparsebundle sizes see A8 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D
Source:... This is what I did when this EXACT thing happened to me ;D

My new iPhone5 was synced to a year old backup of previous iphone4. How do I correct this?

my new iphone 4 needed an update to sync with my old iphone 4 which was runnung 5.1.1. I hit the "new phone" button in itunes and set up a new account to update the software and was thought i could still sync it to my phone. But now it considers itself it's own identity, when i plug it in and there is no option i can see to get it to sync my new phone with my old phone's info. frustrated. help?

Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
