How to restore an ios7 back up to a replacement with ios6?

The battery burst on my 5th gen iPod touch. The replacement comes with ios6, which will not allow me to restore from an ios7 back up. When I set it up as a new iPod, it will not give the option to restore that back up I had made, seems to have already decided it is a registered as a different iPod. But it did let me restore from a 4th gen iPod I have, but that does not help me.

All you can do is try to "extract" data from the iPod backup that iTunes made of the 5G iPod.

HT1766 How to restore an IOS7 back up to a new replacement Ipad2 that came with IOS6.3

Hi all I have just replaced my wife's broken Ipad2 with a replacement Ipad2 from our local Apple Store. The new IPad 2 came with IOS 6.3 but the old backup was in IOS7.4 I have set up the new iPad with Ios7.4 as in its native state it wouldn't restore the backup as it said it needed to be iOS 7.4 to restore so I had no choice other than set it up as a new iPad My question is ...How do I restore the old back up? Now that I have the correct operating system in place.
I'd appreciate some help. Thanx

Set up the new one as new. Give it a new name, any random name. then go into the settings, erase all content and settings, then restore it from the backup of your old one.
basically set it up as new long enough to update the iOS, then put your backup on it.

How to restore ipod touch back to new

how do i restore my ipod back to new, I bought it of of my mother in law and i want to erase everything from email to credit card info?

Two ways.
On the iPod Touch go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPod Touch except for the firmware and included apps, which is a secure erase.
Or restore your iPod Touch with iTunes as a new iPod Touch or not from the backup. Do not sync your iPod Touch with iTunes after doing so.

How to restore iPhone 3G back from OS4 to previous version of the OS?

OS4 is PAINFULLY slow on our 3G phones. Anyone have instructions on how to restore the 3G phone back to the 3.x OS?

As there is no official way it cannot be talked about here...thus our suggestion for Google. If you cannot find info, try different search terms. Like rollback OS or something else.

How to restore deleted playlists to an itouch after syncing with wrong device. Tried to search for device to restore under devices and it completely removed it as a device on itunes. Is there anyway to get the information back?

To start we have several users and devices on our itunes account....Several weeks ago I was using my itouch to create playlists for a few aerobics classes that I teach. Right before I was about to unplug the itouch I got a notification that my itouch was full and didnt have any space left. Since I was done with what I was doing at the time, I unplug my itouch and figured I would delete unwanted songs later to create more room. A week later, I went to sync my itouch into itunes and over the devices it told me that it was named another device and wanted to know if i wanted to sync the information to my itouch I had just plug in. I had never seen this message before in all the other times I had used it, and at the time I didnt realize that it was giving my device the name of another user in my house. Without realizing it itunes started to sync the new information to my itouch. I immediately unplugged the usb cable stopping the process. I then replugged the usb cable in, hoping to get done what I needed to get done on my itouch thinking it might have just been a strange glitch. Also, since I hadn't notice any change on my itouch from the incorrect syncing, I continued to start itunes again. This time it asked me the same question as before "did I want to sync the information from another ipod?". Since I didnt notice any changes before I just let it do the syncing not realizing at the time that it was earsing all the info I had on my itouch and replacing it with info coming from the other users ipod.
I contacted Apple and they gave me infomation on how I could go look for my itouch under devices and get the information back. When I did this my itouch was no longer there under the devices and it was replaced with the new name that itunes had given my itouch. This device is one of the first generation itouches and has never been backed up that I know of... So my question to you all is...Is there any way of getting my playlists back???? I spend countless hours creating these playlists for my classes and have been completely out of my mind trying to figure out how I can possibly get the infomation back. Please let me know if you think there might be a way to do this!!!

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices. It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters. They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!

I had my OS reinstalled on to my Macbook Pro. I did back it up on to a WD HD via Time Machine prior. Now I don't know how to restore from my back up.

I had my OS reinstalled on to my Macbook Pro due to having issues turning it on prior. I did back up my system on to a WD external hard drive via the Time Machine prior to the reinstallation. But now that it is reinstalled on to my laptop and its turning on normally, I want to be able to restore to the back up that I have on my external HD from prior to the reinstallation of my OS.

Use Migration Assistant to restore the backup. Connect the external drive with this backup, open Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps. It will create a new user with the migrated files.

HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

I changed my "View" to Full Screen..How do I change it back since the Menu Bar with "View" is no longer available in "Full Screen" ?? I tried Esc but that does not work ..

I used the VIEW tab at the top left to change my View to "Full Screen".
Now I cannot access the VIEW tab to change it back. How do I change it back so that that Menu will show at the top of my screen??

Some choices:
# F11 toggle Full Screen
# Move mouse up through the top of the screen to menu bars, if you show them
# "Alt+V" -- to bring up the View Menu

How to restore lost music back onto iPod?

Background: A few days ago, I synced my iPod. Not sure exactly what I did, but something cause all of my videos and music to be deleted from my iPod during the sync. Anyhoo, I noticed afterward that, under "On My Device," all of my songs and playlists were still intact (as if they are hidden on my iPod, or at least the data is saved somewhere). How do I get what I see on my computer screen to go back onto my iPod?
And also, what does the sync button do in the below picture? Does it put computer stuff--> iPod, or put iPod stuff-->computer?

Thanks for reading.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
The sync button does it want is says. However. it looks gray and thus not active.

How to restore Time Machine back-up if not even Recovery Tools work?

After a hard and unexpected crash on 2012 macMini I tried everything from this list: OS X Yosemite: Ways to start up your Mac Only 2 things worked: hardware test (via Ethernet: option+D; everything passed) and detailed status mode (command+V) which listed a bunch of errors concerning booting (missing or corrupted files and/or folders). Which is probably the reason I couldn't launch Recovery Tools - neither locally nor directly via Internet (Ethernet plugged in, option+command+R). I would get the message that the Tools are launching, but after the Apple logo showed up followed by the spinning circle, the screen would go light grey 4-5 seconds into the process and the thin black progress bar would appear. It would grow to 1/3 of its length, stop for several seconds, then the computer would restart, the bar would show up again, grow to 1/3 etc., etc.
Assuming that nothing else could be done I started the mini in the target mode (T), plugged it into my old 2007 mini and re-formatted the internal drive, thinking that I could either try Recovery Tools again (no luck) or just clean install Yosemite on the 2012 mini first and then use my Time Machine back-up to restore my files. Unfortunately 2007 mini can only install Lion - even on the external drive - but nothing higher (so I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, Mavericks and finally to Yosemite). And 2012 would not start with Lion on it. Still no luck with Internet Recovery Tools btw (same symptoms).
The only other thing I can think of is finding a newer Mac and use it to install Mavericks or Yosemite on my 2012 mini. If this fails, it's a trip to the Apple store.
If anyone has any other ideas, please share.
(2012 has no CD/DVD drive)

Your description of Internet Recovery sounded much like Safe Mode, not Internet Recovery. I don't think you will see an Apple at all. It should be a spinning Globe. Or, when you say "spinning circle" was that the globe spinning?
From the App Store on the 2007 mini, can you download the Yosemite installer?
That's about all I can think of besides taking it to an Apple Store.

How to restore 8.3 back up to ios 8.2?

If you are a developer, you should be posting in the Developers Forum.
If you are not a developer, you are using unauthorized software and can get no help here.
You cannot restore a backup made with one version of iOS to a device running an
earlier version. If you have a backup made with 8.2 or earlier, use that. If your
only backup is the one made with 8.3, you cannot use it except on iPhone running 8.3
Standard beta testing practice is to backup (and test the backup) before installing
beta software. Have you failed to do this?
Where did you get the beta software? If from a 'friend 'or some web-site other than Apple,
you may have bigger problems than being unable to install the backup on 8.2
