How to revert a restore?

Bought an iPhone 4S to replace an iPhone 4.
Did a backup of the iPhone 4 to local laptop via iTunes.
Started using the new iPhone 4S, w/o restoring from the backup, thinking most of my contacts would sync via the company Exchange / ActiveSync.
Took some pictures & video record daughter & her friends.
Did not do a backup of the 4S.
Realized some of the contacts were "local only", and didn't get sync'd via Exchange/ActiveSync.
Restored the iPhone4S from the iPhone 4 backup, wiped the new photos & videos of daughter.
Are they permanently gone now, or is there a way to revert the restore, like how you can go back & forth between different checkpoints on Windows?

The previous recipients list is not shared among mail clients. It's shared among iCloud Contacts clients.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Restore the selected item from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Seriously: How to revert to iTunes 6 safely?

    Somebody knows how to revert to previous version? Sincerely, I don´t like videos, I have no time to fight with all the bugs of the new version, and I want to return to the working one. I can save my home folder, restore a complete backup of last week to get the application, and then restore the home folder but, that will work? Or the iTunes library files, updated by version 7 will not work with 6 anymore?

    If you want to revert to iTunes 6:
    • Trash iTunes 7
    • Delete the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from ./Library/Receipts
    • Run the iTunes6 installer. It should install without any problem. Older versions (iTunes 6.0.5 not yet) are available here.
    • Trash the 'iTunes Library' file in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    • Create a copy of the 'iTunes Library 2006-09-12' (or a date near this one) in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries and rename it to 'iTunes Library'
    • Put this file at ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes.
    • Run iTunes 6. It should recognize the library without any problem. Any changes you made during the time you used iTunes 7 are lost of course.
    I tested the above procedure 2 days ago and it worked without problems.
    Hope this helps.
    M
    Edit:
    I tested the above procedure only to see if it possible to revert to iTunes 6 in case of trouble. I don't experience problems with iTunes 7 on my system.

  • How to revert back the changes of a task in a change request ?

    Hello experts,
    Our ABAP team made a script and they have locked a change request for it. Whatever changes made in that script are directly written in that change request through different tasks. Yesterday they opened the script and found that some of the data in that script is missing. The task entry shows that the data is still there which was missing, but I am not able to find out how to revert back those changes which are there in the task, so that the missing data can be brought back again in the script? Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem ?
    Regards,
    Sanket

    Hi,
    If modification assistant was on while making the deletion, then the comment should exist for data which was deleted.
    Else use the version history to display and recover the lost version.
    For eg SE38 -> Give report name -> Display. Utilities -> Versions -> Version Management
    Should show all the TRs which changed the object and can compare/restore versions too.
    Regards,

  • How to revert customization?

    I downloaded New Dock and Obsidian Menu Bar to change the looks of my MBP. I went ahead and deleted the folders/applications involved with the customization and rebooted, but it doesn't seem to have gone back to normal. How do I completely revert all customization done back to facory default?

    I'm assuming that you'll have to download and install both applications and they SHOULD have some sort of 'revert'or 'restore' item therein to restore the 'regular' settings.

  • How to revert to older version of iTunes

    I'm always apprehensive of updating iTunes to newer versions.
    Just bought an iPhone 5 64GB and I'd like to sync it with music.
    My older phone (32 GB 3GS) had complications when I first bought it, so I'd chosen never to update IT or my iTunes since.
    The 3GS is still running on an older version (3.1.3 [7E18]) and it's been amazing through my 3 years of use.
    The version of iTunes I'm running is 10.3.1 from back in 2011 (I believe) and I'm quite happy with it.
    My iPods AND iPhone have given me no problems these past few years.
    In order to sync my new phone, I'm expecting that iTunes will require the update.
    So... Is there a way to SAVE my current version of iTunes (10.3.1) in case the current one is not to my liking?
    I was hoping to save a copy of it to a USB key.
    I'd also appreciate instruction on how to revert back to this older version if I need to later.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Thanks in advance, and have a Safe & Happy New Year!

    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below (click on it to enlarge), then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    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 accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    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.

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • How to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS6?

    I have suddenly replace wrong working files, how to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS 6?
    OS Mac version: 10.10.3
    InDesign CS6 version

    This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.
