HT1766 How can I recover my most recent back up after deleting it?

I've lost all of my contacts and pictures after restoring my new phone and deleting my back ups (since iTunes originally told me to delete the back up). Is there any possible way of recovering my lost data, even if I don't use iCloud?

Recover from what? Per your own statement, you deleted the backup.
IF the device had been used as designed, contacts would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, as such, a backup or lack of a backup would be irrelevant. Pictures should be copied off to the computer on a regular basis, like with any digital camera. Then the user can sync back the ones they want/need on the device via iTunes.
As an FYI, when using iCloud, there are no backps on the computer, it backs up directly to iCloud from the device.

How do i recover my most recent i-photos after pushing relaunch of the i-photo icon in my i-book, which caused i-photo to reopen without the past 8 months worth of photos?

I went into my i-book to open up i-photo to see when the last time was that my photos had been backed up. When i clicked on the icon it said would you like to relaunch i-photo because it is already opened and i said yes - then quickly tried to cancel, scared of what it would do, but it was too late. It immediately shut down the originally opened i-photo through the dock and reopened what I had stored in the i-book. Of course i apparently haven't backed up my photos in quite some time -which was also news to me as i thought it was constantly backing up and now i can not find hundreds of photos. I-photo keeps opening up with what was saved on the i-book and not what i had on there minutes before. Someone please help as I am devastated, because they are all pictures of my sons, including the one born 4 days ago :'(

Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
but it doesn't help me..

HI,
A Note.
Technically the most recent Conversation (or Chat) that has a new message (be it iMessage or IM) will move to the top in the list on the left if it is set in the View Menu to do so.
Obviously this does need more than one Conversation or Chat to be listed to work.
It does not change the focus of the Chat/Conversation you are viewing.
iChat - the forerunner naver had an option to invert the chats.
The iChat Feedback page is where I use.
You will also see it does not list iChat 6 depsite listing Lion.
In this sense it has always beeen out of step on the iChat/Messages version front (it took me a long time via the Lounge and Host help to get it on the list of pages to be updated on New OS versions)

I have just backed up my iPhone5 but when I connected my new iPhone5s the back-up wasn't listed as an option to restore? Where can I find the most recent back-up?

I've back-up the iPhone 5 several times now then connected the iPhone 5s but the back-up isn't listed. In fact the most recent back-up available is Nov 2013 but I've been backing up each fortnight.

If the 5S is already active, you will not see the backup for another device. You will need to erase the 5S back to factory default, and when prompted during the setup, choose restore from backup instead of setup as new.

How can I retrieve my most recent tabs after I close Firefox?

This is not a new problem for me - it has been going on for months and months, and I have wasted countless hours looking for a solution - so I decided to post a question on the forum, and hope for the best.
The Problem: Whenever I close Firefox, it loses my most recent tabs, and there is NO way to get them back.
Here's what I have tried:
1. I set Firefox to automatically resume my previous session at startup. ( I did this a long time ago, and have not changed it since. ) When I restart Firefox ( without modifying the sessionstore.js file first ), I get an old session with all 5 of my tab groups present, but with two of them empty.
2. Before restarting, I right-click on sessionstore.js, select Properties, click on the Previous Versions tab, click the latest Restore point, and apply. ( The latest restore point is always at least a week old. ) Now, sessionstore.js shows a size > 1000 KB. When I restart, I get the "embarassing" screen. Clicking Restore gives me exactly what was promised - the set of tab groups that I had over a week ago. This is the best I can do. It does NOT have my LATEST tabs.
3. Before closing Firefox, I copy the sessionstore.js file from my Profile folder, and save it in a seperate folder on my desktop. ( This should contain any new tabs I just opened today, no? ) Then I close Firefox. Before restarting, I copy & paste the copy of sessionstore.js that I just saved into my Profile folder. When I restart, I get exactly the same results as in #2. The tabs I just opened today are gone.
4. When I searched Mozilla support, I came across this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-restore-my-tabs-last-time?esab=a&as=aaq . It said "Note: In order to get your tabs and windows back from the previous session, you should close Firefox from the menu:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Exit." When I close Firefox in this manner, it makes absolutely no difference - the results are the same.
5. A page in Mozilla support also suggested using the plugin Session Manager. I tried this, and all it does is make it easier to go through steps #2 or #3 - the results on restarting are the same.
6. I tried writing a "Bug" to submit to the Mozilla developers, but it's way over my head!
I can't believe that this is the way things are supposed to happen. Surely other people are having the same problem!

Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
Thanks again!

How can I have the most recent message in a thread shown first and not last

Thunderbird (used in conjunction with Gmail - I believe the term is mail client) message threads commence with the oldest; how can I make Thunderbird messages commence with the latest message?

How do I get around this?
'''Workaround:'''
Right Click on the first email in thread and choose:
'open message in Conversation'
This open in a new tab and will include all emails both received and sent by you in that conversation.
It will appear just like the oiginal view with oldest on top.
Then click on the thread icon to remove the 'threaded' view.
in my case the list is then sorted by Date with newest on top. So easily identifying the newest email.
But if required you could clickon Date column header.
Additional:
Note: If the new email in the thread is unread:
View > Threads > Threads with unread
This will produce a list of the received emails in the thread
If you then remove the threaded view by clicking on the thread column header, it will list emails by Date in whatever order you desire.
Unfortunately, this only works with an unread email, so once you have read that email you cannot easily do this again to locate the email in the conversation unless you use the Workaround previously described.

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview and after that I cannot run OS Lion. How can I recover options to boot back in OS Lion?

I tried to reboot from CD or USB and the Mac Mini simply bypasses it to Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
How can I avoid to Windows 8 boot and have the options to select OS Lion?
I used Boot Camp as shown in many videos. I did not select any additional OSX drivers for install.
Thanks,

HT1766 how can i recover calendar data that i lost when converted to icloud

i have lost most all of my data on my iphone when i went from mobilme to icloud...is there any way to recover it?

Hi, Mike.
It sounds like you're trying to convert a PDF (which contains a "document open" password) to Microsoft Word. Is that correct? Which product or service are you using to do this conversion - Adobe CreatePDF or Adobe Acrobat or some other product?
CreatePDF cannot currently convert password-protected PDFs to Word. You will typically get an error which says that conversion cannot proceed due to password protection. Acrobat can convert password-protected PDFs to Word, provided you have the password and can provide that at the time you open the PDF in Acrobat.
If you would like to see CreatePDF better handle password-protected PDFs, please add that to our Ideas page.
Thanks.

How can I recover purchased Magazines from TIME App after resorting iPad

Hi,
I recently restored my iPad after having some problems and did not restore from back up as when I did, I still had problems. I restored and created a new iPad and all is fine... However, I did lose all my info like things I had bought within the apps and game saves etc but I can live with that. What I cant live with is the fact that I lost all my TIME magazines. Anyone know how I can restore them? Where you go to the App there is no option... Other apps have automatically downloaded content I already bought.. surely TIME would do the same?
Thanks
Alex

Actually I just tried to buy one again and after going through the purchase process and putting in password to confirm, it then tells you you have already bought it and can download it for free! Just as well... But you do have to do as if you were buying it again.
Thanks,

How can I recover all my MAIL emails lost after upgrading to TIGER?

Hello,
I just bought Mac OSX Tiger today and after upgrading from the previous Mac OSX and after launching Mail, I discovered that all my INBOX emails were LOST!!!
I still have the Draft emails, the Sent emails and Trash but no trace of my 1,425 ancient and precious INBOX emails!
Please help me recover them. I tried lots of ways to get them back but cannot find them. I'd like to also understand what happened.
Thank you!

HI Greta, Did you Clean Install Tiger, or Upgrade from a previous OS? as if the latter, you might find them in the ARchived files.
I upgraded to Tiger in December and it caused problems with mail but I didnt lose the messages. So I am thinking you did a clean install.
Post back with more info please

How can I recover texts & contacts on iPhone 5c after syncing it with an old iPod touch backup?

I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.
I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.
Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.
To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.
I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.
So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
This seems pretty hopeless but I thought I'd try. Thank for your help.

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

How can I recover ten emails that I just inadvertently deleted from my inbox?

No more details to offer.

Maybe Edit_Undo will undo the delete action is that is the last thing you did.
Have you looked in the Trash folder. That is where deleted messages go until you empty the trash and compact the folder.

How can i get my iphone 4 back up after it went dead. It had plenty of power, and it will not come up even after i hold down the home and power buttons for 30 seconds.

My iphone 4 went dead even when there was plenty of batery life. I ran through the reboot for holding down the home button with the power button and it still did not come back up. Any thoughts?

Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it again. If no respose, you most likely have a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an Apple store.
