HT1766 need help retrieving backed up iphone info on itunes

Went to the Apple store yesterday with iphone (blue tooth and wifi not working) and power cord (mac book) issues.
Since the iphone 4s had already been replaced  once (due to blue tooth and wifi issues) I backed up the phone using itunes on my computer.  The tech at the genius bar said there was a problem with the iphone 4s, a bad sensor or something like that, bottom line it wasn't fixable.  Somehow,while trying to get my phone to work, (making sure it was sync'd and back'd up etc) the tech upgraded the version of itunes in my computer.  Whoops, now my phone won't retrieve all info I had backed up in itunes because he also upgraded my iphone to OS 7.1.  He offered to upgrade my computer to leopard 6 for free since he hadn't checked the version of my itunes before he upgraded.  BUT it would take over an hour and there was a possibility that I may loose every thing on my computer, had I backed it up????  The answer was no because all I thought I was going to do was get a new power adapter!  I did not want to risk loosing all my pictures etc so passed on the free upgrade.  Backed up the computer as soon as it was charged enough once I got home.
So my question is two fold, is there any way i can revert the itunes back to the earlier version I had (and no I'm not sure what the version was), retrieve all my phone info, then go forward?  Or since my computer is now backed up, how difficult is it to upgrade from OSX 10.5.8 to the next level 6.1 ?  I live 1+ hrs from the Apple store and would rather not go through the appt etc again if possible, was hoping for help here.

It's been a while! It's only pulling info up from 2010

  • HT1349 How do I view backed up iPhone info through iTunes?

    How do I view backed up iPhone info through iTunes without my iPhone being connected to my computer/iTunes?

    I am trying to save/back-up the data on my phone (pics, contacts, etc) before I get a new phone. I was told at the store that they can only transfer my contacts to my new phone. I do not want to lose all of the other data on my phone.

  • Need help retrieving 'backed-up' iWeb files

    In anticipation of iweb going away, I backed up my iweb files to an external drive.  Now, having purchased a brand new imac desktop computer, it did not come with iweb software. So, how do i "restore" any of my iweb files to the new imac desktop so that I can then view them, enjoy them, or upload them to a new server?

    Attach your hard drive to your new Mac and then copy the files over or just drop and drag.  If you have saved your published iWeb files, then you can open them in any browser that you have by opening the file and then clicking on any of the html pages - just double click and Safari or your chosen browser will open them.
    To upload to your server, then you'll need to download an ftp client like Cyberduck or Yummy ftp and upload to your server using this.
    Other than this and if you want to make any alterations to your files, then you needed to back up your domain.sites files from your old Mac that you should have transferrred to your new Mac.  These domain.sites files can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  You'll also need a copy of iWeb on your new Mac - you can do this by using the installation discs from your old Mac and placing it on your new mac or if you still want iWeb go to Amazon and search for a copy of the iLife 11 boxed set and iWeb is included in this.

  • Need help with backing upgrading iphone

    Hi Forum community!
    So I finally decided to upgrade from the 1st gen iphone to the 3GS. The problem is that the laptop I was syncing my old iphone on crashed and I lost everything >:^(
    So basically I have all the videos and songs stuck on my old iphone. When I try to sync with another laptop I get a message that all of my old songs will be deleted since none of them are in the new laptop's itunes playlist.
    Question: How do I get all my media off of my old iphone and onto my new one without losing any data?? (again, there is no backup of the songs or videos)
    thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.
    -MO-

    The problem is that most of my music was unpurchased (they are uncopywrited live DJ mixes). The videos are DVDs that I converted so that I can watch them on the iphone.
    Any ideas on how I can transfer the files to my computer?

  • HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

    I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

    Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
    The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
    If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
    If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
    These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
    Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
    Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
    If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • Need Help, retrieving a combo boxes actual/print/visible value instead of the export value.

    Hello,
    I need help, retrieving a combo boxes actual value, not the export value.
    I have a combo box with multiple options to select from.
    each of those selections has a separate export value, which is in the form of a number, which I use to calculate dates in a separate field.
    However, I have another field that i want to retrieve the, users selected value, which is text, from the combo box instead of the export value.
    Is there an easy way to do this.
    This is what I am currently using. But like I said the results are that I retrieve the export value and not the selected text value.
    event.value = this.getField("_Arugula").valueAsString;
    Thanks

    First get the currentValueIndices property of the combo box and use it with the getItemAt field method to return (what I call) the display value. Something like:
    var f = getField("combo1");
    var display_value = f.getItemAt(f.currentValueIndices, false);
    See the documentation for more information

  • Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

    need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which  one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

    Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
    You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.
    Cheers,

    i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?
