How I restore the iPhone from an old backup?

How I restore the iPhone from an old backup? When I restore just appear the 3 last backups. I want one before these.

If you don't see them, you don't have them to restore.

HT1766 how can i restore my iphone from an old backup?

hi! does anybody know how to restore from an old backup? I backed up my phone this morning and deleted a bunch of pictures on it to see if it would help with the issue of it being slow, it didn't. When I plugged up my phone back in, it automatically backed it up again. Now, when I try to restore it - I only have the option from the latest backup, but I need to restore it from this morning. Please help!

So much got deleted... how can I get it backk????

How to restore an Iphone from an older backup ?

My Iphone backup crashed upgrading to IOS5 :-(
Under : Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup I find an old backup I want to use.
Itunes does put its backups in this folder but this older backup is not visible in Itunes.
I tried replacing the contents but no luck.
So the question is how to restore from that old backup without using Timecapsule?
Thanks for any help,
Best regards,
Sanny

Sorry, maybe that was a bit unclear.
So again my urgent request:

I restore my iPhone from an old Backup in iTunes. The Contacts get overwritten by those in iCloud immediately. How do I prevent this and keep my old contacts?

I restore an old Backup from iTunes to my iPhone 4. The contacts are immediately overwritten by those in iCloud. How do I prevent iCloud contact list over writing the contact list restored from the iTunes Backup?

Yes you can erase the drive and reinstall OS 10.6 from the original disk.
1. Put the disk in and restart the computer while holding the C key down. (The letter C.)
2. When the computer boots you will see the beginning of the OS installation, and have to select a language.
3. On the next screen there is a menu bar. Click Utilities on the menu bar and select Disk Utility.
4. When DU is running, select the hard drive in the left hand column, format should be Mac OS extended journaled, then click Erase.
5. When that task is done, quit DU and proceed with the installation. It will take some time.
6. The computer will restart after the installation is completed and show you an awful noisy welcoming screen.
Then you have to enter information about yourself.
7. Run Software update to get to OS 10.6.8.
Now you can go to the App store and find your previous purchases. You will not have to pay for them again. And you do not have install them one at a time. If for example you want 10.9, and your computer can handle it, go directly to 10.9.1 from 10.6.8.

How to restore an iPhone from a previous backup using iTunes

Hi all, I don't have a question - but merely a story of the solution I found to restore a previous backup from my wife's iPhone 5c that had some problems. Long story short, something got jammed with her Exchange email account settings and she lost all of her contacts and emails. Everything was fine on her work server (accessing the account using Outlook or the web app worked just fine). For whatever reason, this would not be fixed by deleting and recreating the Exchange account on the iPhone for some reason.
First let me say that this would never have worked if I didn't have a recent, intentional, manual backup of her phone. Moral of the story: plug your phone in to your computer and back up regularly. However, the trouble always seems to arise (much like it did in this case): with an automatic backup overwriting a good file with bad data.
My last known good backup was on Feb 17th. After that date, something went wrong on the phone. When I connected it to the computer in an effort to restore it from that backup, I was befuddled by the fact that the first thing iTunes does is immediately back up the phone, which automatically overwrites the 'Latest Backup' with today's date (the 20th). I tried restoring the backup thinking to myself that iTunes would fish out the second most recent, but when it was finished I got a restored version of the phone that was broken, not the working copy from the 17th.
Before starting this process it's important to know what on which date your last good backup completed.
I should note that in my study I learned that there is a fundamental difference between backing up and syncing. The former handles all the settings and iOS stuff, the latter is all about apps and music (and stuff). This knowledge proved useful later.
I'm using an iMac with OSX Yosemite 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50, and a USB backup drive filled daily, courtesy of Time Machine.
The process looked like this:
1. Unplug the phone, double tap the home button and quit all the apps, and turn it off. It's probably not necessary to shut it down entirely, but that's what OCD does - it makes you do irrational things.
2. Quit all the computer's programs, and restart. Again, the wonder of OCD.
3. Once restarted, don't open iTunes. Mouse up to the 'Go' menu in the Finder top bar. Click on 'Go'. Hold down the 'Option' key and you'll notice the 'Library' submenu magically appears. Click 'Library'.
4. A Finder > Library window will open. Double click on 'Application Support'. Double click on 'MobileSync'. You should be staring at a Finder window with a folder called 'Backup'. Don't double click it.
5. From here, launch Time Machine from the Dock or from Mission Control. Ooh and aaahh as the Finder window magically animates itself into file-folder order.
6. Scan back in time to the date after your last good backup. Click 'Restore'. It will ask you if you want to keep or overwrite the 'Backup' folder. I overwrote mine. It was a 25GB folder, so the Time Machine recovery took a while.
7. While the recovery was going on, I learned of a way (here) to use the Terminal application (inside Mission Control > Other) to disable the automatic backup function in iTunes. For sake of not mis-copying the Terminal commands and giving you broken code, I suggest you refer to that page - plus, you should give them kudos and share their work because frankly, I'm not smart enough to have written it. Simply copy in the 'disable' command in to Terminal, wait a moment, and a new Terminal command line will pop-up. That means it's done and good. I thought I might get some fireworks, but alas.
8. With the backups turned off, the phone unplugged, and the Time Machine restore complete, I quit Time Machine and launched iTunes.
9. I plugged in the phone. It booted up. It then synced, but did not backup (which was perfect). The 'Latest Backup' field thankfully read February 17th. Joy. I clicked 'Restore Backup...' and the process began. The phone successfully recovered and I was elated.
10. Now recovered and fully functional again (contacts and mail both intact), I again unplugged the phone and then quit iTunes. I returned to the Terminal application, and punched in the other code that causes the automatic backup to resume. I relaunched iTunes, plugged in a different iPhone (to test objectively), and it both synced and backed up. Huzzah.
To be honest, I won't be following this thread nor replying to questions if any arise. I just thought I should share the solution and thank all of the people who posted stuff along the way that helped me out of a jam. Thank You.

Hi austinflorida,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you want to restore your iOS backups to the new iTunes installation. Take a look at the information below on how you can accomplish this.
If you backed your iOS device up to iTunes, back up your devices on the new computer or manually transfer the backups from your old computer. The backups belong in:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and then choose Run. Type %appdata%and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start, and then in the search bar type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, move the cursor to the top-right, click on the magnifying glass charm, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.
You can find out who the supported carriers are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
