How to restore iPhone backup from a new Windows laptop?

I am using iPhone 4S and my phone went to recovery mode while updating iOS 8.1
Phone got started after a while and I am having backup of the phone in iTunes as well but unfortunately, I am not able to restore the backup!
I have copied the backup from %appdata% -> Roaming to my external hard disk!
So, is there any way to restore it from a new laptop while using my external hard disk?
I would appreciate if someone will let me know the necessary steps!

Really? Why would you do that?
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
No backup is not good.

Restoring iPhone backup from previous phone to new one

Hi All,
I have just created a new iPHone in my iTunes it actually the same (1st generation iPHone) but I have updated to 2.0 and in the iTunes instead of restoring to original backup that I did before upgrading. I have selected to create a new Iphone. Now I have new iPHone shows up in iTunes but it's missing all of my camera photos and SMS, call history and favorites, and I'm sure I will find more things that are not on this new iPhone.
The question is:
How do I go back and upload the backup from the old 1.1.4 Iphone into this new one that I have created in iTunes

You know, I don't know if you want to help or just tried to be an * But either way.

How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone

I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?

You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

How to restore a backup from time machine in 10.6.8

I am running 10.6.8 on my MacPro (early 2008). I have 4 internal hard drives. The main boot drive has 10.6.8 and the secondary drive with a system has Lion. I cannot completely upgrade to Lion on my main drive until all my software is compatible.
My main boot drive started acting like it's in slow motion 2 days ago. No matter what I do (DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, zap PRAM, fix permissions) nothing seems to help. Every mouse click or movement gives me the dreaded spinnin wheel and it hangs for about 5 min and then does what it's supposed to do. I have logged into a new account w/ no special 3rd party apps or utilities and it still does the same thing. Hard drive diagnostics say my hard drive is ok. I have tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update but that hangs after a few minutes of starting. I am stymied.
I thought about restoring a Time Machine backup from 1 day before this happened, but before I attempt a full disk backup, need to ask what to do so as not lose everything.
I assume I must boot up from another disk or hard drive, correct? Can I simply select all the system folders and apps folder or do you think I should do a complete restore?
Thanks.

Could be a failing drive, could be Lion when you boot doing something
Disconnect all other drives etc., except the 10.6.8 boot drive, lets flush everything.
hold Shift upon booting, this is Safe mode and fixes things, reboot
then SMC reset, PRAM reset

Run all of OnyX checks, maintainance and cleaning then reboot at the end

If you have AppleJack already installed hold command S at startup of 10.6.8 and Applejack AUTO and press enter.
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
This mega cocktail will do plenty to rebuild everything and may catch your issue.
If your still having problems I would try to isolate it, if it occurs only if your connected to the Internet, or after the machine has booted Lion etc.
Narrow it down. It might be failing sectors on the drive, this has been known to cause beachballs as the hardware is trying to read from failing sectors, once it gets the information it should be transfering it to a new better sector and mapping off the bad one.
You can expidite this process when you fresh install, by erasing the entire drive (or Free space only) with Zero function in Disk Utility before laying large amounts of data on the drive. (like a OS or partition)
Good Luck

How to restore a backup from TM to a ssd?

Hello folk,
I'd like to change my HD with a 250 SSD but, before I buy it, I want to be sure that I can restore my backup, which actually is on a NAS (Network Attached Storage), to the brand new SSD.
Is it possible? I read that I shouldn't have any problems but I want to be more than 100% sure since I don't want to waste money
In case it's possible, how can I do that?
Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele

This additional backup you mentioned could be saved, for example, on a external USB storage?
Moreover, in the article you linked, at the "Restore an entire system" section, it's written that I would need to use the Recovery mode.
So, in order to answer my last question ("Do I need to have already installed on the new hard drive the same OS version of the backup, or I could simply restore to the raw ssd?"), I'd definitely say that I do need to have already installed any MacOS version on the new SSD so as to restore the entire system, right?

How to restore iphone/ipod icon in Finder window?

I accidentally deleted my ipod icon a while back and now can't seem to restore the icon in the finder window even with my new iphone. How can I restore this? I can find the files on the ipod and iphone in other applications (ie. itunes and iphoto) but just not in the finder.
Thank you.

You can restore the iPod icon by doing a "reset home screen layout" on the Iphone. Go to Settings ->General -> Reset -> Reset Home Screen Layout. It will come back

How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

Thanks Baltwo,
I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
Firefox doesn't do it.

How to restore MobileSync Backup from Hard Drive to new iTunes?

I am in serious need of help!
My laptop which had Windows 7 running was crashing down after 4 years. When I brought it to the service center they took my internal drive out to save all the data before too late.
The problem is I never had the chance to backup my iTunes properly, and now that I'm usiing a new computer, how can I possibly retrieve all the old data?
The internal drive from the older computer has now been made into a hard drive. I just downloaded the same version of iTunes I was using on this new computer, but how can I possibly restore my older iTunes library. I don't care very much about the music actually, but the mobilesync backup, like messages, notes and etc.
Thnaks in advance!
