HT201269 my latest backup is not showing, only showing backups from previous devices.  using i cloud

I purchased a new iphone 4s to replace my current iphone 4s and I'm trying to backup and transfer info.  On new device when i search for backups nothing recent is showing although old device is showing last backup?

After installing Lion, the time machine is not showing the backup from previous mac os version.
How did you upgrade?  Did you erase everything and reinstall/recopy/restore your data?   If so, and if the old backups are selected in Time Machine Preferences, see the last paragraph in the pink box of #15A of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
the finder window is only showing "All files", "Documents" and "Air drop" folder.
From the Finder menubar, select Preferences > Sidebar and click the things you want to appear.
For some other things you may stumble over, see: Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.
how can I go back to Snow leopard from Lion.
If you have Time Machine backups from Snow Leopard, see #14 in the FAQ link.

  • HT1414 I'm trying to restore from an earlier backup but my iphone only shows the most recent. I'm on Windows Vista and found the backup folder. If I delete the recent files, will it force the iPhone to backup from the next older file?  Why doesn't it show

    I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup.  My iPhone only shows the most recent backup.  I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files).  How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup? 
    I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine. 
    I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
    Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
    Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
    Info:
    iPhone 4S
    Software version  5.1.1
    Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)

    As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

  • How can I send a copy of my Keynote Presentation to someone else so that it will include my slide notes (uploading it to iWork seems to exclude my notes and only shows the slides). A quick response would be greatly appreciated!

    I'd try Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/), which you and your recipient both have to have. It's easy, and the free version would probably be enough. There are any number of other services available for emailing large files (google that). Of course, your recipient must have KN installed to be able to view it correctly, or can view it in PP, but with some loss, primarily transitions/animations.

  • I want pictures from each device in the cloud, but not on every other device. Possible? "iCloud Backup" alone doesn't seem to work....

    My goal is to acheive 3 of the following things.:
    Have all my apple devices sync pictures to the icloud *without* syncing the pictures on all the devices...so just one direction from device to cloud and not have all the devices insync from the cloud...... I don't want all the devices in sync, I just want the pictures protected in the cloud. To do this, I've tried to just turn on "icloud bacn-up" and not turn on "photo stream" to acheive this, but doesn't seem to work.
    If #1 is possible, then I would like to sync the icloud with a folder on my PC using the icloud app for the PC. Not sure if I can have only the icloud PC sync and not have all the devices in sync?
    If #1 and #2 could work, then I would sync the PC folder with my local storge.
    end result would be all my photos save in the cloud and a safe copy my home in my local storage. I would have thought that most people would want to do this, but doens't seem so obvious to me as to how I can get it to work?
    Any help would be appreicated.
    thanks

    You can't use iCloud as a safe place to store your photos when they are deleted from your devices.  iCloud designed to stream photos to your devices, and to back up photos currently on your your devices as part of your iCloud backups.  However, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your devices enough time to download them.  And if you delete a photo stream photo from any of your devices, it is also deleted from iCloud and from all of your devices.  Furthermore, while camera roll photos are included in your backup, if you then delete the photos from your device and continue backing up, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they will be lost.
    If you want to save your photos, import them from the camera roll to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Then you can delete them from your device.
    If you would rather have a cloud-based place to store your photos, look into a service such as Dropbox.

    You should reset your iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • HT4910 Why do I get "The last backup could not be completed"  Last backup: 5/4/12 at 11:16 am?

    Why do I get "The last backup could not be completed"  Last backup: 5/4/12 at 11:16 am every time I try to back up my iphone 4s?  I also get a message that my iphone hasn't been backuped in 32 weeks?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • HT1766 i just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use 6.2GB (other on Summery) no App. sync. I don't have enough space to sync any application!?

    I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
    I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER  6.2GB used came from?

    Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
    So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
    Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button.

  • Not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java soun

    Hi ,
    I need one help from your side.
    Here I am expecting some clarifications from you. Before that let you my environement.
    My working environment :
    Eclipse tool and added jmf jar to my project I did not do any thing more.
    If any thing I need to do just let me know. My target platform is MAC & UBUNTU.
    Please bare with my questions.
    1) I am not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java sound APIs on My system.
    ( I checked with the app mentioned in the http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/11201-jmf-cannot-connect-device.html )
    Do we need any administrives rights for our working PC.
    What is the procedure/ setup I need to follow from a java application to enable particular audio/video device since I dont about end-user system setup right.
    If possible send some sample code to recognize /r detect audio device ( voice input ). It should run on both MAC and UBUNTU.
    2) I run the one sample audio recording application of this link (http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioRecorder.java.html) which is provided by YOU.
    I got output audio file and able to hear voice on UBUNTU system but not able to hear voice on MAC system.
    I heared that default line in ( audio setup of the sys) is wont take any voice data on MAC.Why I made this stmt means we are getting false when using isSupported methods of JAVA SOUND API.
    ( like for TragetdataLine ...i,e, all ports are getting false)
    I have one sample audio recording app implemented by QUICKTIME API. In this case also he taking audio ftom device only using quicetime API.
    With that we are able to record and hear audio ( voice input --> not line in , external device we added some thing like SSB...)
    3) In case of Video capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PullBufferDataSource , PullBufferStream intefaces used.
    In case of Audio capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PushBufferDataSource, PushBufferStream intefaces used.
    Can you explain the reasons ? I gone through API but i am not clear.
    HOPE I WILL BE CLARIFIED EVERY THING FROM YOU.
    Thanks

  • HT4191 How do I get to "When prompted, select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device."?  I can't get to this!

    I have duplicate Notes on my iphone 4 (upgraded to iOS 5.1.1)  I have followed your instructions to remove the duplicates.  How do I get "select Detete Notes" to appear on my Mac?  I have connected my phone to my Mac and selected it in iTunes.  I clicked the Info pane and deselected the option to Sync Notes.  THEN WHAT should I do?  How do I get the prompt "Select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device.  (I do want to sync them using the over-the-air feature.)

    I would try the following:
    First sync your phone with iTunes to create a new backup (just in case).  When done, disconnect your phone from your computer.
    Next be sure that all of your Notes are on your mac (Don't proceed any further if they aren't).  If so, turn off iCloud syncing for Notes on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to Off.  When prompted choose to delete the notes from your phone.
    Next, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Now connect your phone to your computer, click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar.
    Go to the Info tab and under Other check Sync Notes, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone, check Notes.
    Click Apply at the bottom right to sync your phone.  This should sync the Notes from your mac to your phone and you should no longer have duplicate Notes.
    Next, on the Info tab uncheck Sync Notes and click Apply, when prompted select to keep the Notes on your phone (haven't tested this step but I believe you will be given the option to keep them on your phone).
    Now disconnect your phone from your computer and check the Notes on your phone to confirm that they are still there and that you don't have any duplicates.
    Next turn on iCloud syncing on your phone again by going to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to On.
    On your computer, without connecting your phone, go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and uncheck "Prevent…from syncing automatically" to re-enable automatic syncing.
    That should do it.

  • My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    for the photos: make sure you reboot the device so that the changes are taken into consideration.
    For emails: log out of your email account, make sure the emails from that account have been deleted, then log back in, and go to the mall app, but open only the inbox. as long as you don't open your email folders, the phone won't download them.

  • Pages 5.52 does not open my custom templates from previous versions?

    Pages 5.52 does not open my custom templates from previous versions?
    Pages freezes and I have to force quit
    Whats happening

    Pages v5 (including v5.5.2) lacks about 100+ features found in Pages '09 v4.3. When Pages v5 encounters unsupported content in Pages '09 (or very early Pages v5) templates, it communicates this to you as an application freeze. As Pages '09 v4.3 runs on Yosemite, and you may still have it in /Applications/iWork '09, you may want to use it instead. Recreating templates is not the best use of your time.

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. Usually takes less than 15 seconds of holding both buttons.
    If you decide your iPhone is not working properly, and you decide to Restore your iPhone Firmware then do this. Open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • Showing only key photo from events within an album using iphoto 11

    I'm using iphoto 11 and want to show only the key photos from events in an album. I don't want to see every photo from every event in the album, I only want to view the key photos from each event in the album. When I drag the event into the album every photo from each event is shown in the album.
    I do have some events in an album with only the key photo showing but can't get all the events to display this way in the album. Any suggestions?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Apple TV showing only "Summary" and "Photos" under devices.

    My ITunes is only showing "Summary" and "Photos" tabs when highlighted under Devices. No Music or Movie tab, thus I am unable to transfer iTunes purchases to watch on my TV.
    After reading many posts on this topic, I read this post:
    "you have your itunes set up as a secondary streaming only library.
    you need to break the link and add it this time as a primary library. this will give you all the tabs and syncing options."
    How do I "break the link and add iTunes as my primary library".

    On AppleTV go to Settings>Computers
    The sync library is the top entry on list.
    Your is probably empty or greyed out.
    The entries below this are the stream libraries.
    Basically move down to your current entry and select it with the remote, and it should give you some kind of message about deleting it.
    Delete it, go to the top line and select that and it'll generate a new code to enter into iTunes.
