How do you restore IPhone to a backup other than the most recent.  Phone crashed, restore didn't work.

My iPhone 4 crashed and I did a restore, but instead it set it up as a new install.  So when I went to do a restore, I still lost all my contacts and apps.  Need help restoring using a precious backup.

control + click(mac) or right click(windows) on the name of your iPhone on iTunes then select restore from back up
_if you have multiple back up, it will give you option which back up to restore

  • Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

    I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
    After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
    Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

    Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
    No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
    Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
    N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

  • How to upgrade to something other than the most recent OS

    I am currently running Os 10.6.8. I would like to update, but I have a critical application that is only qualified for 10.8.2 and the current operating system is 10.8.4. Is there a way to buy something other than the current OS?

    Apple updates the OS X installer at the Mac App Store with the latest version, and older OS X versions disappear. If you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion and you purchase Mountain Lion at the App Store, you will get the OS X Mountain Lion installer with 10.8.4 installed, so it will install 10.8.4, without any possibility to install 10.8.2.
    You can try changing system files to look like you are using 10.8.1 and try applying the 10.8.2 update, but doing this you may damage OS X Mountain Lion

  • How do you receive iMessages from a device other than the iPhone they originally are being sent to?

    I'm trying to receive iMessages from a phone other than my own. How do I receive them, I have both Apple IDs and both passwords but do not have current access to the phone I'm trying to get the iMessages from.

    Do you have the other phone's Apple ID active in your iPhone iMessage setting? If not, then you would not get them. And, the person sending the iMessage would have to be sending to the Apple ID and not the phone number.

  • HT1766 Can I restore my iPhone from an older backup than the most recent?

    Ca. I restore my iPhone from a backup that is older than the most recent one?

    Hey Geigerfam4,
    The following info covers restoring from earlier backups:
    You can choose from up to three of the most recent backups associated with your iCloud account. Each backup shows the date and time the backup was created, as well as the name of the device that created the backup. Unless you want to restore an older backup, choose the most recent backup of the device you want to restore.

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

  • How to enable remote debugging for a session other than the current one

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out how to enable remote debugging for a session other than the one I am currently using.
    More specifically, we have an application that is making database calls to Oracle 11gR2. Something is causing an exception during this invocation. My system is currently not set up to recompile said application, so I can't just add the debug call to the code and recompile. Therefore I would like to be able to log into the database (as sys, if necessary) and invoke dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp on the desired session.
    The docs indicate that I should be able to do so:
    dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(
    host IN VARCHAR2,
    port IN VARCHAR2,
    session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    debug_role IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    debug_role_pwd IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    option_flags IN PLS_INTEGER := 0,
    extensions_cmd_set IN PLS_INTEGER := 128);
    But when I try (even as sys), I get the following:
    exec dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('1.2.3.4',5678,<session id>,<session serial>);ORA-00022: invalid session ID; access denied
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    00022. 00000 - "invalid session ID; access denied"
    *Cause:    Either the session specified does not exist or the caller
    does not have the privilege to access it.
    *Action:   Specify a valid session ID that you have privilege to access,
    that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.
    I've tried granting the 'BECOME USER' privilege for the relevant users, but that didn't help. I read something about having to set some kind of ACL as of 11gR1, but the reference documentation was very confusing.
    Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Is this even possible, or did I misread the documentation?

    Interesting deduction, that would be very useful indeed. I hate recompiling just to add the debug call, and it can't be done in our production environment. But it seems unlikely to me it would be implemented this way.
    I would cross-post this in the SQL AND PL/SQL forum though, as this is really a database issue, not with the SQL Developer tool. Do add the links to the other posts in each.
    Regards,
    K.

  • My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!

    My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning.  Now my phone is completely dead in the morning.  I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.

    One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
    Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
    To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
    Close as many as possible if you don't need them.

  • How to restore from a session that is not the most recent

    I used the Forget button and it closed out of my windows and opened a clean window. I've started up and closed out of Firefox several times since then so using any type of 'Restore Previous Session' option won't work because the tabs I want aren't the most recent. The ones that I want were what I had before I clicked the forget button. I want to know if there's a way to restore from past sessions.

    Sorry, but not. Because the function of this button is exactly like if you made clean record.
    Grettings!

  • How to install PS CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.

    I want to install PS CC, Bridge CC, and Lr CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.
    How to do that?
    Problem is, CC Set-Up automatically installs these apps to my boot or "C" SSD.

    I signed-out of PS; and deleted PS, Bridge, Lr, and Creative Cloud. The, when I download (i.e., saved) Creative Cloud Setup to my "A" drive SSD, then double click to install Creative Cloud, "it" automatically installs the Creative Cloud app to my "C" SSD.
    The app does not ask where I want to install Creative Cloud.
    I keep looking for an opportunity to "change the default install location" but I do not see such an opportunity.
    Previously, when I installed PS there was no opportunity to "change the default install location."
    Can you tell me how to find or force an opportunity to "change the default install location?"
    Where or how do I find "the CC app settings?"
    Does Abode have a manual install version for Creative Cloud, PS, Bridge, and Lr?
    FYI, my OS is Win 7 pro 64 bit.
    Also, why does Adobe automatically install a 32bit version of PS on my system?
    Can I prevent that?

  • Restoring From An Older Backup Than The Most Recent One Occurred.

    Hi,
    Today I was backing up my iPod touch as per usual. I waited and waited (it took a fair while). When it finished I looked a the usage of the device and it had changed alot. I was very confused. I looked at my songs and they had all been wiped off. I went to restore the device to the latest backup but by the time I had done that the whole iPod had backed up again. This means I cannot find the backup before that.
    My question is does it save older backups automatically anywhere?
    Thanks,
    Liam

    Do you have a backup of your computer system from an earlier date?  If so you can replace the current backup file with the one from the earlier date and then restore that backup.  In Vista, your backup file is located in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup (substitute your login name for user)

  • If there a way to restore my icloud from a backup other than the very last one?

    I deleted some pics before my last backup that I need back. Can someone please help me?

    Apple states that it keeps your last three iCloud backups.  During the process of restoring an iCloud backup, iCloud will show you which ones are available and ask you to select the one you want to restore (see image below).  You may need to tap "Show older backups" to access earlier ones.  The only way to find out if an earlier one is available is to go through the restore backup process.

  • HT1349 Why does my iPhone connect with someone other than the person I am texting?

    Can someone explain why when I text someone from my contacts I get someone texting me back and I have no idea who it is.

    Try to set up the phone as new device and to rule out a software error, don't use the backup after that.
    If the phone works without problems, restore from the backup. If the problems are coming back, set it up again as new, this time adding the 3rd party apps back one after the other, one of them must be causing the freezes.
