HT1766 what does restor back up means/what does it do

what does restor back up mean?/what does it do

it stores all the data on your device in another place so that you can restore from it if a problem happens (say your device crashes or gets erased). then all your data is restored to your iPhone/iPod/iPad/Mac.

  • HT1766 what is that pic of a lock icon on back up restore options

    what is that pic of a lock icon on back up restore options

    It could mean that the backup is encrypted.... If you're referring to seeing this in iTunes, that is.

    Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
    Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

  • HT4946 when I did a back up for my Iphone, in order to update software, I did not see request to choose password.  Then when I went to restore back up it asked for password that I did not know.  Now what do I do?

    Help!  When I went to restore back up for my Iphone after downloading software update, it asked for password which I did not know.   Apparently the box for encrypt had been checked but I do not recall anywhere indicating I needed to choose password.   I was sent back to page with 2 options - set up new phone OR restore from back up WHICH I CANNOT DO WOTHOUT PASSWORD.     wHAT DO i DO?

    Connect it to your computer via the supplied sync cable and restore.

  • Disk Repair notified me it could not repair the HD.  Iam to reformat the disk and restore backed up files.  OS Utilities give me a "Restore From Time Machine Backup" option.  I have not reformatted the disk;  does this restore option do both?

    Disk Repair reported that it could not repair the HD Disk.  I am to reformat the disk and restore backed up files. OSX Utilities give me a choice of restoring from time machine backup (which I have on MyPassport) but no information on reformatting the disk, which I assume I have to do first.  How do I reformat the HD ...or does the restore from Time Machine do both things?

    Boot OS X Recovery and use Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility reported the disk cannot be repaired though, you should replace it with a new one.

  • HT1766 after installing ios7, my phone now is always in headphone mode, how to restore back to ringer mode

    after installing ios7, my phone now is always in headphone mode, how to restore back to ringer mode

    I did a search on "recovery mode loop"..you might take a look at the following threads to get some ideas...some mention is made of "USB conflicts"..not sure how valid that is.....they also mention doing a hard power down of the device...sounds like if you absolutely can't get it out of recovery mode, a trip to the Genius bar will be necessary...

  • After formatting iPod to NTFS and restoring back with iTunes, the player works for two-three weeks and crashes afterward. It then requests to restore it through iTunes.

    After reformatting iPod to NTFS and restoring back with iTunes, the player works for two-three weeks and crashes afterward. It then requests to restore it through iTunes. When connected to iTunes, it sees it in the restore mode and also asks to restore the iPod. It happens over and over for the last months. What could be the problem?
    iPod Classic 80Gig.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear planb77
    Thanks for a reply. iPod does not support ntfs - you're right. that means it will never work on that. While restoring ipod using iTunes, itunes reformats it no matter what filesystem is there. So the issue is not that. ipod is now on fat32 and it works for a certain period of time, but then crashes and asks to restore through itunes. Resetting/restarting does not help.

  • Why i cannot restore back after software update?, why i cannot restore back after software update?, why i cannot restore back after software update?

    Why i cannot restore back after update software?

    What does "restore back" mean?
    If it means go backwards to some earlier version of iOS, then Apple has never allowed that.
    If it means reload the contents of your iPhone after doing a software update, you should be able to do that.

  • How can i get my icloud restored back to a previous date

    Does anyone know how I can get my icloud restored back to a week ago?  My two separate apple iPhones had their iCloud accounts merged and I got my personal accounts and work accounts merged.  When trying to split them back up again, I deleted all my contacts on icloud and now I can't get them back.  can i get my icloud restored?  I restored my phone, but that didn't work.  Thanks for your help.

    A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

  • If I want to restore back to snow leopard

    I've had it with Lion. I want to restore Leopard. I have never use the backup utilities in Leopard, but I have backed up what I need to manually to another drive. What I want to ask about is app store purchases and itunes purchases and bookmarks. After I do a full restore of Leopard, basically back to "new out of the box" iMac, I have a few questions:
    1. Do I need to use the same user account when first time signing onto my iMac?
    2. After all the updates are applied for Leopard, can I simple sign back into the "iMac app store" and see all my old purchases and simply reinstall them?
    3. iTunes... I keep all my media files on an external USB hard drive for iTunes. Can I simply sign into iTunes with my account and "change back" the iTunes default media location in prefferences back to that external location, and have iTunes find and re apply everything just as it was before?
    4. I was told there is a file "Bookmarks.plist" that I can first backup, then after the full restore back to Leopard, I can simply copy back that Bookmarks.plist file and get all my bookmarks back? I know you can do an bookmarks export from safari, but I was told backing up your Bookmarks.plist files does the same thing, only slicker and better?
    5. My iCal is synced to my iPhone. Would my iPhone sync back all the events to the iCal? Can I use the iPhone to sync back info to the system?
    Or do I need to first backup the iCal data somehow, also?
    6. Stickies... I believe I can backup the stickeis database file, then restore it and all my stickies notes will be intacked?
    7. Im also wondering about 3rd party software i've purchased, if that can be reinstalled and would the original activation or register codes or keys still work?
    The same with "MS OFFICE for the iMac" and "PARALLELS", would their ownership register codes work as if I were simply reinstalling the program back onto the same old machine? Or would these 3rd party programs purchased with register codes think I was trying to install on a completely different system? Thus the original codes might not accept?
    So thats my only real concerns...
    Using the same user info when starting up my fully restored system for the first time?
    Reinstalling already purchases iMac app-store items?
    Re-installing 3rd party purchased software that will ask for the original activation or register code. WIll they still work?

    See Kappy's going back to SL from Lion guide.

  • Restoring Backed Up files in the program from the Restore Disk 1

    My computer was having some serious issues so i decided to restore it but before that I chose to backup some of the files.  It (the program that came with my HP) gave me several options of things I could choose to back up like emails, documents, photos, movies, etc.
    I chose to backup emails, browser settings, documents, etc to an external source (a docked hard drive).  When th process was done I saw that a backup with a date listed was showing on the hard drive.   I then went about restoring my computer back to factory.  Afetr all was said and done, I updated my computer back to where it was initially before the resore than went about restoring the files I had saved or backed up I thought.
    I went into the folder that was was saved and foound a program listed that said RecoveryMgr.  I clicked and started what I thought was the process to restore my emails, documents, etc.  It completed but I found none of the backed up items I had tried to save.  I only found a folder on my desktop labeled System Recovery Files - shortcut.   What am i doing wrong?  I need those files back.

    This is the procedure to restore back up files:

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
