How to restore 5.1.1 back up for my 4.1 3GS phone?

Hi,
My 3GS phone had 5.1.1 iOS & got locked while updating. Now I have got it unlocked, but have 4.1 iOS right now & it gets locked if i try to update the iphone version since this is required to load my back up file. Now, I need my back up very much! what do I do?

If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted. You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open. If it does, you're off and running. What methods have you tried?

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

How to restore the removed files back?

Recently, in order to free up space of a WD external hard drive, I have removed some files. And I remember I have backed up them on another computer drive. However, yesterday, I found that these files were all missing from this computer
drive. It was really strange.
Is it possible for me to restore these removed files back? Any idea would be appreciated.

Is there anyone that has used this computer drive before?
Perhaps, there is some one that has accidentally deleted these files.
OK! Don’t worry! In my opinion, you’d better not to use this drive right now and try to restore these files back by applying data recovery programs.
To retrieve them back, you could ask for a professional service or also download a free data recovery tool. The former way could cost a lot.
So, I suggest you to try a free data recovery program at first. There are many free data recovery programs available online, such as
Recuva, Power Data recovery and iCare Data recovery Free, etc.
Next time, you should never back up some important files only on one drive.
Thank you for your listed data recovery freeware.
Thanks a lot!

HT201317 how to restore an i cloud back up on my ipod

I am wondering how to restore a i cloud backup to my ipod

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect to iTunes, choose the restore option, select to restore from your backup when prompted.

How do i get my contacts back after i seleted them from my phone can i go through icloud??

plz help me

Only if you backed up your phone to iCloud (which is different with syncing your contacts with iCloud). If you have been syncing your phone with iTunes you can restore your phone from your most recent backup, which will replace the data and settings on your phone with those from your backup (losing any more recent information). To do this, first open iTunes but do not connect your phone. Then go to iTunes Preferences and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Next, connect your phone to your computer and when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes right-click on it and select "Transfer Purchases". When this finishes, right-click again and select Restore from Backup.
If you haven't been syncing your phone, or backing it up to iCloud, or syncing your contacts with a supported application such as Outlook or mac Address Book, then there is no way to get your contacts back.

How do I xfer my last back up (for iPad and iPhone) from laptop to desktop?

I'm looking for a way to transfer my last back ups for my iPad and iPhone from my laptop to my desktop. I have my iTunes library backed up on an external hard drive so the content is no issue, it's the sync back up I want to move. I have a checkbook app (most importantly) that I would like to move over intact so that I don't have to start from scratch and lose all previous entries.
Is this possible. I'm a Windows 7 trying to move back to a Vista 64.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Itunes is not working on my laptop and I need to back up my contacts on a 3Gs phone?

Itunes is not working on my laptop and I need to back up my contacts on my 3Gs Iphone?

Hello KP530,
It sounds like you are unable to unlock your phone because you cannot use the screen, and you need to back up your phone. I recommend these steps from the article named:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Do you have an old backup?
Generally, each update overwrites the previous one.

How to restore recent changes from back up when lightroom 5 did not shut down properly?

I'm working on a Mac, which did an auto-update that apparently force quit Lightroom 5, which hadn't been closed for a week and thereby had a lot of "unsaved" work in its temporary files. Now when I open the catalogue I'm back to where I was a week ago, with non of the new changes. However, my time machine back up has backed up .lrcat, preview.lrcat, .lrcat-journal and .lrcat-lock files from right before the shutdown which should--in theory--have the data I need in them. How do I restore this data? I've tried several different methods with no luck yet. Thanks!

If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted. You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open. If it does, you're off and running. What methods have you tried?

How to restore shared review comment back to PDF?

Shared review backups the comment in XML files. If I lose the comments, how can I restore the comments back to PDF?
I try both import comment and import form data using the XML file, but nothing shows up. It seems only FDF or XFDF file works. Do I need to convert the XML file into FDF or XFDF? If yes, how?
Thanks for the hep.

Acrobat doesn't import the XML file directly that is used in the Shared Review process. Attempting to build the importable files is not pretty either way. I wouldn't recommend doing this but you can do it by hand using the XML file data into the correct file syntax for proper import but you need to be familiar with the FDF or XFDF file format. Otherwise if you are familiar with XSLT and doing transformations you should be able to do it that way too with an custom application.

How to restore iPhone from a backed up backup

A customer of mine recently had her iPhone fail and has just received a replacement. During setting it up it seems she overwrote her previous backup and lost all her data. How that is even possible boggles the mind but luckily I had insisted on a previous occasion that she invest in some online backup. Happily this allowed me to retrieve a previous backup folder that does contain all her stuff. Now I can access all that stuff via iPhone backup extractor so I know it is a valid backup set that contains everything she needs BUT naturally she would prefer to have it all restored to her phone.
Sadly this old backup is not visible to iTunes and iTunes does not give us the option of restoring from another folder or a previous backup.
I tried replacing the contents of the current backup folder with the contents of the older one and restoring but that didn't work. The backup seemed to restore OK but none of the old stuff was copied back. Interestingly a new folder with a new UUID was created in there (unfortunately I didn't have time to try overwriting that folder).
So the question is: how can I restore this backup?
Best regards,
Roger
