HT1766 Took a back up - can't find it?

But when i search for the backup at C:\Users\/USERNAME)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup I find that backup, is it any way to put that map into my iphone again? please answer!!!

If you don't see the backup in iTunes. Make sure the device that you are trying to restore the backup to is up to date on its software.
I was trying to restore from a backup on a loaner phone and did not see the back up. My software on my old phone was at 8.1.2 and the loaner was at 8.0.2, after i updated the software, I found the backup.

HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
thanks

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Sending ibook back if can't find help

please, after two days of tech support with apple and my isp provider AND the local authorized dealer still no connection. i am going to have to send it back.
out of the box, it never has conneceted. everything indicates that it recognized the network but it just isn't connected. i carried it in to the AU and he picked up his network just fine.
i have a built in wireless airport, and a wireless router. i also have an IMAC that is conncected with no problem and a windows PC that is also conncected.
i get a message that my password is incorrect (i know i am typing in the correct one) tried the router password, modem password and the computer password. also message saying, "connection failed" in the set up assistant.
i plugged the modem ethernet directly into the ibook and it still didn't connect but my isp provider insist that it is the set up in the ibook not them.
also, a message saying no conncection.
1. can i set up another network? and go from there?
2. is there something i am not doing that everyone at apple is missing????
3. is there anyway to "tap" into my IMAC without the internet conncection on the IBOOK?
please any suggestions would help. i really don't want to return the ibook but i am running out of people to help me.
thank you in advance,
movie lady.

I have a couple of suggestions for you, depending on what you want to do. I apologize if any of this is a reiteration of what was already mentioned.
First, if you want to hook the ibook right up to the cable modem then you may first have to power cycle the modem. Depending on the cable modem that you are using, and all but a few do this, it will remember the MAC (media access control) address of the ethernet card it was plugged into when it was initialized-- precluding the use of other ethernet cards with the modem. If its of any help power cycling of the modem while it is plugged into the ibook may help with the connection. Otherwise, you may have to contact your ISP and ask them to resend whatever commands they need to in order to have the modem reacquire the MAC address. (Each network device has its own unique MAC address.)
If you want to ibook to connect through the imac via airport and the imac has airport, then you need to open the sharing pane of the system preferences application and enable internet sharing from the imac's ethernet port through its airport card. Set the name of the network to whatever you like and make sure that the ibook can see it. Once you do this, you need to disable the firewall under the firewall tab of the sharing preference's pane in order for the ibook to connect to the internet. (The reason is that the firewall protects the imac on all network ports, not just the one connected to the internet. As such, the imac will reject all information that it does not request from either connection. The trouble here is if the ibook sends a request to the imac for some information from the internet, the imac will reject the ibook's request because, from the imac's perspective it did not generate that request. Alternatively, you can manually configure ipfw, but that's probably overkill for your needs.) After this, you should be good to go.
Third, if you are trying to use a router, then you first need to make sure that its configured properly-- see your documentation for this one because each has its own eccentricities. But a few tips include making sure that the wireless connection for both B & G is on to ensure compatibility, adding all computers to the access control list if you are using one, and ensuring that all the passwords match.
As I mentioned above, you may very well need to power cycle your cable modem, or even worse call your ISP in order to change devices.
I hope this helps.

Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

The Device you have, because of where it was Purchased will never be able to have FaceTime.
All you can do is sell it and buy a Device from a non restrictive country.
FaceTime in the Middle East

Can't find audio book in library

i bought an audio book a while back and can't find it in my library anymore. how can i get it back in my library?

Use your backup copy of your computer.
It will only be where you put it.

My Camera App is gone. I just want the original camera app back, were can i get it?

I do not know how it happened but my iPhone 4 just dropped my camera App. I just want it back and can not find it in the App Store.

Your iPhone did not just drop your Camera App. Since none of the included apps can be deleted, none of the included apps are available via the iTunes app store as seperate downloads. Not necessary since it is impossible to delete any of the included apps.
Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Is Restrictions on?
If so, is Camera turned on as a restriction?
If yes, turn it off.

HT1766 Where can i find my iPhone 'Notes' on my PC? Apple have suggested I don't restore my replacement iPhone from a previous back up as they feel it may be corrupt, but I need my 'Notes'

Hello Pseal
There are tow ways you can handle this. One is to copy the notes to your computer using iTunes to send them to Outlook. The other would be to create or have an iCloud account so that the notes are synced online and then all you have to do is sign back in to get them. The following article will assist with troubleshooting the issue.

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

Some photos not showing in my Camera Roll album, can only find them if I use 'Places' and select where I took the photo

Basically as the title says, I've noticed when trying to find some photo's I've taken in the past few months in my Camera Roll album (in the Photo's app), I can't find them anymore.
But, if I choose 'Places' (instead of Albums at the bottom of the Photo's app) and select the place/location I took the photos, I can easily see them.
I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1. Based on the photo's missing, it appears it's happened to photos between 11th January to around 10th March. But I was definately able to seem them in the camera roll during that time (as I specifically remember a set of photo's I took I constantly referred back to around February. I can now only find them if I choose the location where I took them).
I've reset the unit and performed a sync, but still can't see them in the Camera Roll.
Any ideas?

If you deleted them from photo stream, the only way to get them back in photo stream on your device is to add them to the camera roll as new photos. If you don't need high resolution versions in photo stream, this can be done by simply opening each photo and taking a screenshot. If you do want higher resolution versions in photo stream your options are either to email them to yourself, then save them to your camera roll, or add them to a shared photo stream album.

I lost the pictures i took with my ipad2 and my vídeos, also my safe note, where can i find them??

I LOST THE PICTURE I TOOK WITH MY IPAD2 AND MY VIDEOS, ALSO MY SAFE NOTES, WHERE CAN I FIND THEM????

Had you reset your iPad or just done anything else when you found that they were missing ? If they were on the iPad when you last synced/backed up via your computer's iTunes then you could try restoring to that back up and see if that restores them to your iPad. Also for Notes you could check to see if they are stored on any of the email accounts that you've got on the iPad - try logging into the accounts via a browser and see if any have a Notes folder underneath them.

Where can I find my backed up photos on the iphone?

Where can I find my backed up photos on the computer. Do I use iTunes or do I use iCloud?

Hey luvtns,
Thanks for the question. Your Camera Roll photos are definitely backed up, whether you chose to back up with iCloud or iTunes. To restore your backed up photos, you'll want to restore the entire backup. See the following article:

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link
http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/fcpx-bug-best-practices-for-using-external-hard- drives-and-final-cut-pro-x/
You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
booya!
