How do i back up from an older back up??

backing it up from a previous back up...
Sorry, that still doesn't make any sense to me.  Maybe someone else can chime in.
FYI, you can't add to an existing backup, nor can you restore part of a backup, it's all or none.  This shows you how to restore from a backup... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • HT1766 How do I restore an iphone 4 from an older back up from my computer?  I cannot see the restore file that I need but I know I did not delete it.

    I have an iphone 4 and before I installed the new software I transferred all my pictures to my computer then deleted the pictures from my iphone to create space for the upgrade to iOS 7.  I saw that I had a back up made in jan 2013.  I then sinatlled the software and something went wrong because I had to connect to my computer to complete the process.  I tyrie to back up from my old back up but I forgot the password.  I did not have time to look for it so I started my phone as a new phone. I then at a later time attempted to restore my phone once I found the passord but my old restore file is not there anymore.  Is there anyway to find this file on my computer and use it to resore my phone?

    Connect your iPhone to Your computer and Sync it with iTunes. Then you can Restore your data.

    I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5c

    Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine.  It's going the other way that would be a problem.
    You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone.  The current iTunes version is 11.1.3.  If your iTunes is old, download the latest from

    I have limited space left on my iphone.  How do I send music from my iPhone back to the cloud so it doesn't take up all the space on my phone, if I decide I want different music?

    You don't send it back to the cloud since it never left the cloud.
    You can delete indovidual songs from the iPod, or if all music is available in your iTunes library on your computer, you can remove the music from your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

    How may I transfer Contacts from my IPhone5 back to my Windows Computer.  I had a trojan virus and it wiped out everything including my contacts.  My IPhone 5 has the only complete list of my contacts and I'd like to have them back on my computer.

    Hi Jean167,
    I'm sorry to hear you of your issues with contacts being erased from your computer.
    You can copy them from the iPhone if you have iCloud setup on all your devices.
    Here are some articles / information that may help:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    iCloud: System requirements
    PC
    Microsoft Windows 7 or 8
    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 or later
    iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
    Outlook 2007 or 2010 or iCloud.com
    Safari 5.1.7 or later or Internet Explorer 9 or later (for iCloud.com and Bookmarks), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 for Windows
    I hope this information helps, Jean ...

    how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

    You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
    You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

  • How can i restore my iPhone from an older back-up?

    Hi there,
    Recently, my iPhone 4 was restored by Apple. When I plugged my iPhone in to iTunes it automatically synced and did a back-up. It then restored my phone with the apps and music that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up, however not with the contacts or photos.
    Is there any possible way to restore my iPhone with the photos and contacts that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up? Is there a way to restore your iPhone from an older back-up (not the latest one)? Please help!! PLEASE!!

    Hi AnaMusic,
    Thanks for your reply. I don't really understand your answer though. I plugged my iPhone into iTunes with the intention of restoring from my latest back-up as I have lost all my photos and contacts on my phone. However, when I plugged it in it automatically did a sync and a back-up. Now when I click restore from back-up it just restores to what I have on my iPhone now, because that was the latest back-up (it did it automatically). Do you understand what I mean?
    What I am wondering is whether or not I am able to restore my contacts and photos from my last iTunes back-up (before today's one)?
    Thanks.
    P.S - My photos and contacts did not save to Address Book and iPhoto if that helps.

  • How do I transfer photos from my older MacBookAir to my new iMac?

    How do I transfer photos from my older MacbookAir to my new iMac?

    Copy them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Then restore them from the external drive to the new computer.
    Or if you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant they will be transferred along with everything else in your Home folder.
    Connect the two to your local network, enable File Sharing, copy the files over the network. You may need to do this in order to use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant.
