I want to restore my iPhone to the backup that I did just before upgrading to iOS6. When I try to pull up old backups, I only see one from this morning and an old one from May 2012 when I still had my iPhone 3GS. I have not been using iCloud since it was set up improperly when I first switched to the 4S, the contacts weren't being synced AT ALL. visited the genius bar, they said I need a whole other appointment to visit them and solve that, I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Thus, I am backing up to iTunes.
This morning's sync/backup resulted in me losing most of my contacts, and for the contacts that remain, 99% of the phone numbers are gone. I can recover my calendar entries from this past week, but I don't know how I can recover all of them from my May 2012 backup.
Since I had a backup just last week, I'd like to just go back to it. But how? Or, is there another way to get my contacts restored? And why did they disappear? And what else may be gone that I just don't know about yet?

Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group?

Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group? My friends are complaining that they can see all the people in the group; also when I get a response from some in the group, it comes to me ane many others in the goup - its like they've replied all.
Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 4; iOS5

Sorry it hasn't worked out for you. I threw together a simple project that uses rectangles to represent your Bike and wheel groups. They all animate across the canvas in the bike group and the wheels rotate. I have attached screen shots so you can see how they are constructed.
This image showsthe bike group where the orange rectangle and green circle represent the frame. The white rectangles represent wheels and the green and red rectangles I threw in to represent a wheel that has multiple objects in its group as your wheels do.
Here the animation across the screen has started and notice all wheels rotating and staying with the frame.
Again a little further down the timeline.
I put this one in so you could see the group bounding box around the red and green wheel Good luck with your restart on this project and I hope these screen shots are helpful.

Happy for you!

I recently updated my new iPhone by plugging it in to my laptop. However, it erased all of the texts, contacts and pictures associated with my phone prior to the update. How do I get that information back?

I owned an iPhone 4s a year ago before I unfortunately lost it. I have since then bought the iPhone 5 but had not plugged it in to my computer yet to download any music. I plugged in my iPhone today to my laptop and my iTunes store stated that it registered that it was a new iPhone and asked if I wanted to restore or update my new iPhone with the information that was backed up on my old one. I chose yes, that I did want to restore the old information in to my new iPhone. However, now that I did that, my new iPhone does not have any of the contacts, texts or pictures that I had already on my new iPhone.
I desperately want my information back that was lost on my new iPhone when I updated the phone. Is there any way to get those pictures and information back? I logged in to my iCloud account and it still did not help get my pictures, contacts or texts back.

No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Use the power adapter that came with your iPhone.

HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

TS1347 IPhone5 on 6.1.4 - missing named contacts on contact list. Can see missing named contacts when messaging, but when selected come up as only phone numbers in the sent to window. What is resolution? Can I sync only contact list from to iTunes backup?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up.

HT5824 The only thing I want to use iCloud for is to back up my contacts. Since I have almost completely filled my my free 5GB I am assuming that iCloud is backing up other stuff I don't want. Please help!

How do I ensure that iCloud is backing up only my contacts list? I want to stay within the 5GB and it apparently is almost full.

You can manage your iCloud storage here:
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device
From here you can mangae what gets backup and see how much spoace each item is using.
I assume it is mostly your Camera Roll.
If so Import your photos and videos from your iOS device to your computer so they can be backed up. Then they can be deleted from your phone.
You can also turn off iCloud Backup and backup with iTunes instead.

Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.
If you haven't done so already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and run just with the included apps for a bit and see how it performs. Cache corruption or incompatible software can cause performance and stability issues. No guarantees, but it's worth a try to at least try to identify what's causing the problems, iOS 6 itself or something you have loaded.
Regards.

It sounds like the problem is you have forgotten the password for your password-protected backup. See: iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support

This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.
