How to do a Restore??

Hello ALL,
Question, how do I do a Restore from one of the backups created in iTunes? I am not talking about Restoring to factory defaults, but rather restoring from a backup, which is done, as you all know, every time I do anything to the iPhone through iTunes.
Assist Appreciated!

A restore will always reset your phone to factory settings and erase all data. As the final step in the restore process, you will be asked if you want to restore your settings from backup. The backup you make before you restore includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store will be restored from the backup. Your music, videos, and applications will be reloaded by iTunes as they were before the restore.
Go to this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 and select "Restoring your iPhone or iPod Touch" for a detailed explanation and a picture of each dialog box you will encounter. The link shows everything you need to know in three screens of information and I cannot reproduce it all here.

    I inadvertently deleted the source tunes from my iMac.  How do/can I restore them from my iCloud account?

    Welcome to the Alpple Community.
    Your iCloud account doesn't have anything to do with iTunes. With iTunes in the cloud you can redownload tunes you have purchased from iTunes (select purchases from the list of options in the top right hand corner of the iTunes home page.
    If you have iTunes match you can redownload all your tunes by clicking the cloud icon at the right of each listing.

    Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

    When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

    I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

    If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

  • I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

    Hi,
    Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
    it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
    Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
    All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
    What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
    The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

  • How do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

    how do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

    The backups for your version are date-time stamped as the name and with an extension of .fcpproject. They look like this.
    The original project is named CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
    You need to replace the CurrentVersion with the backup file and rename it to be CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
    With FCPX closed, I suggest you move the original to the Trash, but not empty it. Then promote your backup one level higher in the project folder hierarchy (to be at the same level that the original previously occupied. Then rename the backup.
    Open up FCPX, which should now recognize your project.

  • HT1339 How to fix and restore firmware?

    I own a iPod Classic 5th Gen Video and have been getting many problems with it with connecting it to my PC or having it to work properly, I find that it likes to lock up quite often.  I've tried to use iTunes and it doesn't see it. How do I fix/restore the Firmware manually?  I've read somewhere that you can put it into a recover mode where you can place an update file on it and then it will do the rest and hopefully this will fix it.

    found another way.

  • How do I even restore it when it's died?

    When I connected my iPod to the computer today it doesn't show up either in My Computer or the Source List. There's been once a message popped out saying my iPod is corrupted and asked to restore. But the iPod now seems like it's died somehow - "Do not disconnect" is on the screen for hours but not blinking. I forced to eject it and reconnect for times but it's still dead. How do I even restore it??
    iPod Video 30GB   Windows XP  

    Hi Laurencelau,
    Try forcing your iPod into disk mode. To do that, follow the instructions in this article:
    Putting iPod into disk mode
    With the iPod in disk mode, connect it to your computer.
    If you can successfully get your iPod recognized in iTunes, try restoring it.
    If that doesn't work to get the iPod recognized, then try the first four steps here:

    how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    Hi,
    In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
    However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
    In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
    So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.
    Thanks,
