HT1414 How do you restore an old backup? The new one with the stuff I didn't need was backed up and overwrote my old one.

Pages wasn't working so someone told me to delete it and redownload it. Of course, our school told us not to use Cloud since there wasn't much space and now I lost most of my notes. I think I backed it up before I deleted it though but when I reconnected by iPad, it rebacked up everything and I don't know how to restore from previous backups. Help please!

You may not have any previous backups if iTunes overwrote the only backup that you have.
Launch iTunes on your computer (do not connect the iPad yet) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. You can also see if you have multiple backups for the iPad in that window. If you do - Click OK and quit iTunes. If you don't have another backup, just turn on auto sync again. There is nothing that that you can do if you don't have another backup.
Assuming that you did have another backup - connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name under devices and select - Restore from Backup. If you have multiple backups, you can select the one that you want from the drop down menu in the pop up window.

  • I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit.  I just want to view my photos from my SD card, not import them to the iPad.  Can this be done and how is it done?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit and want to be able to view my photos full screen and not import them.  Can this be done and how?  Please advise.  Thank you.

    When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
    I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

    See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
    No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

  • Restoring old backup on new computer with new phone

    I wasn't prepared, but I backup up my wife's iPhone 4 on my laptop and then we went out to get her the iPhone 5. Came home, plugged in the new phone to restore, but said I needed the latest version of iTunes (11.0.1). But I can't download the new iTunes because I'm running 10.5.8 on this antique iBook.
    So I copied my backups to a hard drive, then transferred them to my work laptop (which is running 10.7.3) and downloaded the new version of iTunes.
    So where do I want to put the old backup so that iTunes will recoginize it? The "RESTORE BACKUP" button is currently grayed out.
    Also, I've never had any isses in the past, so I've never had to restore. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
    My wife is about to kill me over this little deal. Help please.

    Hey mate... well I never use migration assistant cos i always like to have a totally new system on the new computers without the quirks of the last one.
    Can you use migration assistant once you JUST to get hold of the Address Book or do you also need to import a whole bunch of other stuff... I just don't know cos I have never used it.
    Thanks heaps,

  • How are you liking the new calendar with the new os?

    I am trying to work with the new calendar on my ipad. this new system has added steps that I think are not necessary. for example when I want to see my day I now have to go to the magnifying glass to see it, rather than just touching the day itself. more confuising. any one else?

    Hi Scott
    I tend to use the control center as little as I need to, generally do as much as I can from designer. Ideally the panels and options in control center would have just been available from the designer, but it is still needed for certain deployment options and so forth. Haven't seen the component pallette
    I do like the new interface, have now been using it longer than most. Interested to hear what operations you find different/unusual.
    There are some changes with the menu system such as the gallery that made changes in some of the behavior like when a time dimension is created, you have to use new via the gallery to see the option to create the time dimension (as opposed to just being on the menu..new time dimension). Another example is creating a Gateway location type, you now have to use new (via gallery) to create a DB2 Gateway Location, since the new location via the DB2 node will create a location for use with the code template maps - if you create a module and use the location created via the wizard it will be of the correct type.
    Cheers

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • How do you restore a previous backup?

    I can't figure this out for the life of me. I've found them in the Edit, Preferences, Sync menu but there's no option to roll back to a previous saved state. Anyone know how to do that?!?

    One thing that might help out.
    When itunes is open and the iphone is connected to the computer, the iphone should show on the left side of itunes under devices.
    Right click, or control click, on the iphone under devices.
    A little menu should pop up and you should see an option to restore from backup.
    hope this helps.

  • HT1382 How do you restore iTunes v10 backup (on DVDs) onto iTunes v11?

    On Windows XP, I backed up my iTunes v10.1 library to DVDs, then did a fresh install of WinXP and the current iTunes v11.1.  I authorized the new iTunes and inserted disc 1 of my iTunes backup, but I get no dialog to restore (tried the last disc in the backup set as well), nor can I find any restore options in the menus.  I also have a full system backup from old WinXP system, if needed.  Any help would be appreciated.  One of the reasons I instigated this is because I could not upgrade IOS v4.3 on my 4th gen iPod Touch because I couldn't upgrade iTunes on my WinXP system (would get server not found error).

    You should delete the current iTunes folder in <User's Music> before restoring the backup into that folder. There is a hidden preference file that controls folder structure that might otherwise be wrong, and the new library would have created some stub folders for cached artwork which would be redundant.
    if iTunes won't update then tearing out all Apple components, rebooting, and reinstalling usually works. If there are still problems there is an MSI cleanup tool that sometimes helps.
    Going forward see this backup tip.
