HT1766 is there any way of restoring from an older back up?

i have accidentally overwritten my correct back up while attempting to restore my iphone. is there any way of recovering this seemingly now long lost information?

You can restore from an older backup, if you HAVE an older backup. In Windows XP, backups are located in
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
I believe iTunes overwrites backups each time, so you may be out-of-luck unless you renamed one of your backups. I do always do this (rename a backup after making it) so have many multiple old backups to rely on in a pinch.

    If you have Time Machine and it ran after the backup you want and before the current backup you can restore it from the Time Machine backup.

  • Is there any way to restore deleted calendars back onto my laptop from my iPhone.

    I recently installed Maverick on my laptop and have been having trouble syncing my iphone calendars with my laptop calendars, like I used to.
    Like an idiot, and without any research, I joined iCloud thinking I could sync calendars this way. I didn't realize that it deleted my calendars off my laptop in creating my iCloud calendars. The syncing with my iphone still didn't work, and so again, like an idiot and without research, I deleted my iCloud account ot discover that all my calendars on my laptop are now gone.
    My iphone still has the calendars on it, (albeit old and out of date), so is there a way to restore the deleted calendars back to my laptop from my iphone or from the backup on my laptop.?
    Running Maverick on laptop and iTunes 11.1.3. iPhone is an older 3gs but fully updated running 6.1.3
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Quit Safari.
    Select

    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "History.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • Is there any way to restore an iPhone 4 from a previous backup?

    I accidentally deleted all my contacts from my cloud settings, prior to backing it up on the computer. I hadn't realized it until I checked my phone again. Now the current backup has no contacts. Is there any way to restore my phone from a previous back up?
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Every backup replaces the old one, unless you use one to back up from. So, if there are no more backups listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, or your last backup has been replaced in iCloud, your info is gone.
    If you included the backup folder of your computer in your backup routine, you might be able to restore backups done on the computer, see this article:

  • My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

    I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
    I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
    Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
    Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
    Thanks

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

  • I restored my ipod 4th generation but i lost all of my photos. I used iCloud but i have never synced with itunes. Is there any way I can get my pictures back?

    On the settings I went to iCloud then went to storage and backup and it saus total storage 5.0 gb and avaible storage is 2.7 gb but all of my photos arent there. Then when I click manage storage it says camera roll 2.0 gb is there any way i can get my photos back? please help

    If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
    It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
    What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.

  • Is there any way to restore deleted bookmarks after uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it?

    When I uninstalled firefox i checked the delete history/bookmarks box by accident and now all my bookmarks are gone. is there any way of restoring them from before i uninstalled firefox?

    Did you remove the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder as well?
    It is better to try to recover a JSON backup because that is a text file and can easily be checked if the recovery succeeded.

    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.

  • Is there any way to restore the 'Open New Tab' option in the tab bar drop-down menu?

    After years of using tabbed browsing in Firefox, I've long-since gotten used to right-clicking the tab bar, and selecting the top menu item 'Open New Tab'. So much so that it has become reflexive. Now with v4, when I perform the same action, it now just reloads the current page. Is there ANY way to restore the option to the pull-down menu? I don't wanna have to move my pointer all the way to the other side of the screen just to open a new tab... (T_T)

    Hello, I suffered from a similar problem with the new search bar type. I've found that you can go into '''about:config''', then search for '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' boolean and toggle that. This should restore the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
    Note that, like always, edit your '''about:config''' at your own risk.
