  • How to restore Ipad from previous backup that is not the restore list?

    I did a firmware update for Ipad from 5.1.1 to 6.1
    I backup my Ipad before I did it at 4.46am
    Then I restore my Ipad so it will install IOS 6.1
    However I accidentally set it up as new device with a differrent name (default suggested by itune which is "AL's Ipad")
    Then I try to select my previous backup called "Ipad 3"
    But I cant see "Ipad 3" from my restore list.
    So can I restore my "Ipad 3" backup?

    If you went through the process of restoring your iCloud backup, then tapped Show Older Backups when asked which backup to restore to and the backup you're looking for isn't listed, there's no way to recover it.  You could check to see if you have an older backup on your computer that would have the data you're looking for by opening iTunes and going to Setting>Devices and checking the Backups list.

  • HT1766 how do you restore firmware from a backup?

    I got a new iphone 4s today and when trying to get all the info off my old iphone it didn't bring over any of my apps or music.  How do I get those restored to my new phone?

    The backup does not contain music or apps, it only contains app data.  Your music and apps should be in your iTunes library.  Syncing your new phone with iTunes should transfer your Music, Apps and other iTunes media to your phone if you have selected to do so on the various tabs of your iTunes sync settings.

  • How to restore iphone from an old back up not listed?

    Hello,
    I've read all through this forumn but still can't quite work out my problem - which is probably simple for peeps with apple smarts...
    i backed up my iphone last week on my laptop in anticipation of updating to iSO5.0.1.
    so today I updated to 5.0.1 on my home desktop, and could have sworn i backed up correctly, but it didn't so it restored to a year ago, it had -50 error now that i think about it.
    i thought its still okay as i knew i had a recent backup on my laptop. When i connected my iphone, it synced and apparently backed it up. now cant seem to work out how to restore to an older back up - it only list the one today.
    can someone tell me how i can restore to a back up that is not listed (only todays is) as i really want my contacts and calendar back?
    any help would be greatly appreciate,
    jackie

    i need to restore it from an earlier back up... is this possible???
    It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details.  I can give you some general ideas though.
    On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
    Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
    So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer.  If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
    If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

    Hi, Samanthacarol.
    If you are able to see the backup file in iCloud but unable to restore from the backup, then the article below will explain the solution.

  • How do I restore files from TM backups with broken links?

    I have Time Machine backups with broken links all over the more recent backups.
    I get the message "The alias “xxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." whenever I click on one of the links.
    I have made the backups on my external usb backup drive before before upgrading my internal disk to a larger one.
    Two questions: 1) How can I recover the files?  2) What happened, how can I repair the backup if possible?
    The sequence of events was: Made the latest backup.  Apple ran extended diagnostics overnight at the store and did a reinstall of the OS (10.8.2).  I passed on restoring the backup and went to an authorized service center and had them put in a new tera-byte drive.  I deleted (in the star-wars display) the oldest two and a middle backup leaving the Aug, Oct, and latest Nov. backups.
    Now I see 100's 1000's of bad links.  If I look at the backup (just look) with finder I can see directories for July and Sept in addition to the ones I didn't delete.
    It appears that the files are probably all there and I could recover them a few at a time if I poke around.
    I am tempted to do this before trying to repair the disk.  Yes, it will take me ages; but I would rather take the time than a chance at doing -Anything- that could even possibly make things worst.  I can see 3 senarios and wonder if anyone can say what would be best. And by best I mean **Safest**.
    1) Go in TM to the Aug backup that seems to have no (or maybe only a few) broken links and restore that; then move in TM to newer backups and restore one folder or file at a time on top of it.
    2) Do the same thing with a restore of Aug but then use the finder to copy newer files from the backup disk to the new disk.
    3) Do essentially the same thing; but do it all in finder.
    Of course that still begs the question of what happened and if the backup can be repaired; but to me, that is secondary to getting the data back.
    fyi- I have looked at the TM hints and debug-repair file.  I realize I can try a repair disk but I am tempted to try to get the data 1st unless someone is Sure a repair won't mung the data more.
    Thanks

  • How can I restore my iphone to a backup that's not listed in the drop down menu

    I updated my iphone and everything was removed. I attempted to restore it however the only backups that are available when I have the iphone logged into itunes is the one from today. How can I apply an older backup say 1 to 2 days ago to the drop down menu of the restore button? Right now the only thing that's showing up is the one for today and that's abslolutely not the one I want or need. And before the question is asked no I didn't save it to icloud.

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • HT4859 My phone was stolen.  I synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud.  How do I get pics from the cloud that are not in my photostream?

    My phone was stolen.  I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud.  How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

    If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

  • I lost my iTunes library on a crashed external hard drive.  How can I import music from my iPod that was not originally purchased on iTunes?

    The 500 gig hard drive on my 2008 iMac was so full it was running very slowly, so I transferred the iTunes library to an old external Maxtor 1T drive.  A few months later the Maxtor crashed, and the library went with it.  My 3rd G. iPod Touch still has the whole library on it, but I don't know if ALL the music will transfer back to the mac when the iPod syncs.  A portion of the music was from CDs we borrowed from our kids.  How can I get all of the music that is presently on my iPod to transfer back to a new iTunes v. 11.1.2 library on the mac?

    One application that's able to accomplish what you want is called Senuti.

    I've used it many times to recover music from my iPod to iTunes.
