HT1766 how to restore from a old back up

How can I restore my phone from a old back up

Do you have an old backup?
Generally, each update overwrites the previous one.

HT1766 I accidentally clicked restore from an old back up

I accidentally clicked restore from an old back up, which I really didn't want to cause I haven't backed up my new iphone. But everything is already done, is there anyway I can go back to previous setting??

Apps/music/video/etc are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs when syncing. He should be transferring those to his computer regularly.
Open itunes on the computer, look under Quick Links, and click Purchased. You should be able to re-download them there.

How do I retrieve my newer photos if I restored from an old back up?

Hi, my sister lost all of her contacts somehow yesterday and wasn't prepared to save them all manually once again so she asked me to restore from a really old back up that I had of her phone on my iTunes. We didn't realise that this would affect her photos and, unfortunately, she has lost a lot of the new photos that she has taken since she last backed up her phone on my laptop, plus she never used iCloud or Photo Stream, etc. Is there any way to retrieve the photos as they are really sentimental photos (including pictures from her Wedding, Honeymoon, etc) or are they gone forever?

Restore from an old back up

Dear Potential Helper-
Today our son forgot his passcode, we plugged in his iPod Touch passcode. We plugged it into iTunes and it said "backing up". After that was complete, we rebooted holding down the power and home key until we got the plug into iTunes message. Then restored. The restore did not contain any of his apps or information. I then tried right clicking to restore from back up and tried to restore from the earliest version it offered which turned out to be not far enough into the past.
Needless to say he has none of his old apps and is upset. Would appreciate any wisdom or help.

Recover photos taken before Setting Up the New iphone from restoring from the old back up

I got my new iphone 6 plus today and took some great and precious photos with it before I got home and get ready to transfer my old files from the old iphone 5.
Then when the iphone 5 back up is done, I was over excited.
When I connects the new iphone 6 plus, itune asked to start as a new phone or to restore from previous back ups.
then I selected restore without remembering that I already took some precious photos with it.
I can hardly see my friends that I took the photo with.
OMG...I want these photos back.
Is there anyway that I can get those photos back?!!!

Sorry, but if the data from your new iPhone6 did not get backed up before you restored it from the backup of the iPhone 5, your data is gone.
Check iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices if there is any backup for the iPhone6 listed. All backups should have a time stamp, backups you used to restore from will not be overwritten and the content will remain the same.
If there is no backup, your photo data is gone.

A question about restoring from an old Time Machine backup

My computer has been acting very slow and freezing frequently lately. The spotlight background processess keep hogging the processor, and
It keeps getting catalog b-Tree corruption. I've already done one complete reformat of my drive and a restore from a time machine backup hoping it would fix things, and that didn't work.
I tried a complete reinstall and used the migration assistant to move all my files and settings from my time machine back over to it.
That worked for about a week, then had b-Tree corruption that could only be fixed with disk warrior.
I was suspecting a hardware problem, but I have done thourogh tests of my Ram with memtest from single user mode, and a disk surface scan with Tech Tool Deluxe. Everything checks out.
I am thinking there is some corrupt system file or setting that is getting reinstalled from my Time machine backup that is messing things up.
This all is a leadup to my question:
I would like to try restoring from a much older Time Machine back up (6 months ago or so before I started experiencing problems).
If I do that, can I still use Time Machine to restore individual files and directories from later backups?
I'd like my system settings and applications to be from six months ago, but my desktop files and documents to be from my most recent backup.
Thanks,
-Matt

Yeah, I usually check the FAQs before posting a question.
They do talk about how to restore from an older back up, but not about what happens to your newer files once you have done it. They also talk about accessing files from another computer's time machine backup, but its not clear if that would work on a different fork of the same machine.
I may just have to learn from experience, but I don't want to risk losing any data.
I do recommend time machine though. Its saved me several times.
If anyone else has experience with this let me know.
Thanks,
-Matt

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.

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

HT1766 After during a backup on iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts are gone and tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why iTunes restore work correctly?

After I did a backup from iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts were gone and then tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why is iTunes restore not working correctly?
I thought all my contacts were saved in iTunes, never had this problem before. Besides manually restoring them myself, is there any other way to retrive them?

How do you get your old back ups back

how do you get your old back ups back

Typically iCloud and iTunes only save the latest backup. In reality, when you subsequently backup, the last backup is modified with the changes and you only have one backup. The except seems to be if you restore from backup it appears that that backup is retained.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage and to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if more than one backup is listed.

HT1766 how do i combine 2 iphone back ups into one, i had an iphone 4 and now have a 5s but need to back up the 4 contect into the 5s

I has an iphone4 that i last backed up in July. I got a new 5s when i activated the 5s i forgort to first update the Iphone4. I went back and updadted the iphone 4. Now how do I get that info over to the iphone 5s.

You cannot combine backups. You can only use one or the other. Your first problem is the fact that you had not backed up the phone since July. When did you get the 5s? When you activated the 5s, did you set it up as new or did you restore from the old iPhone 4 backup? Did you set the 5s up as new and begin using it and you want to keep the data on the 5s and add the data from the 4? If that is the case, it cannot be done. When you restore from a backup, you wipe all the data off the device and take it back to the date of the backup. All newer data is erased.
Maybe I'm confused, but what are you saying that you "went back and updated the iPhone 4"?

What do you see on the screen when it doesn't boot??
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
or
Folder with question mark issue?
How did you restore from your old hard drive?
Technically all that was needed was to use Migration Assistant on the fresh OS X install to migrate users accounts and programs to the new machine.
You can use a SATA to USB adapter to connect the old drive if you want to go that way and start over with a fresh install again on the new drive.
Reset your Mac
