HT201407 my restore didn't work and then itunes synced with the empty iphone.  now i can't locate my original backup.  how do i get it back?

I backed up the iphone on itunes and did a system restart.  when i went to restore my data, the restore failed.  then the empty phone synced with itunes and i can't find my original backup.  please help!

You can't. When you converted those libraries to Lion's format, you lost the ability to go backwards. Unless you saved a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous SL installation, you're up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle.

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

  • HT4901 By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back?

    By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back? The help info, HT4901, was the closest info from the Help pages but it assumed we were already on icloud and had simply disconnected our calendar from icloud. Actually, we were simply trying to synch our devices by signing up with icloud for the first time, so it seems our calendar never had a chance to get uploaded. In any case, how do you reconnect / re-access a calendar on icloud?

    If your calendar does not appear on icloud.com it never uploaded to iCloud.  If it is no longer on your computer you would have to restore it from a backup source such as Time Machine to restore it.

  • I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now I can't find my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    My new computer has Windows 7 on it. My old computer had Windows XP. I have my old hard drive from my old computer, but even when I connect it to my new computer, I can't find my Firefox bookmarks. I can only find my Internet Explorer favorites. Any idea how I can retrieve my bookmarks?

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
    You may want to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files
    XP:

  • HT1349 Hello, how to move the iTunes master file from C drive to an external drive and them iTunes stick with the external drive after on an on going basic?

    My desktop C drive is full HD of 1 TB, I would like to move the current iTunes master file to an external 4TB drive and then iTunes stick with the external drive
    Could this be done, if yes how to do it?
    Thank you for your help
    Henri

    If it's the same as with a PC, the procedure would be to:
    (a) Plug in the new external drive,
    (b) Set your iTunes preferences such that the iTunes Music Folder is on the new drive,
    (c) Use the iTunes "Consolidate Library" utility to copy your library to the new location.
    (d) When the transfer is complete, check "Get Info" on some songs to verify their location.
    The original files will remain on the old drive, so you'll have a way to recover should there be a problem. You may need to manually copy any iPhone/Touch Apps to the new drive since I'm not sure those are transferred with the Consolidate utility.

  • I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords).  What can I do?

    I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords).  What can I do?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. You can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See also this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive. Otherwise, see below.
    Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • I recently got an apple computer at work and downloaded my Juno email on it. Now, I can not access all my past email in my juno inbox from other computers. Pls help.

    I recently got an apple computer at work and downloaded my Juno email on it. Now, I can not access all my past email in my juno inbox from other computers. Pls help.

    If it's a POP account and you set it up in Mail with the option to delete read messages from the server, then you can indeed no longer read it on the server. You may be able to restore the messages to the server if you also have IMAP access. Ask your mail service provider whether it's possible.

  • My daughter had completed a chart in pages. I saved it and then clicked on other chart types. Now I can't go back to the original chart she made even though I have not re-saved the file. How can I go back to her original chart with data?

    I don't get what you are saying.
    Is this all the same document?
    What version of Pages?
    Have you tried to revert to a previous version?

  • My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?

    My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?

    Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

  • A family member gave our kids their old iphone with music already loaded for them.  How do we add the music to our library? It won't transfer purchases from the phone and if I sync it, the music is erased.  Can someone walk me through this?

    No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.

    Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with the OS X 10.5 operating system.
    * http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/
    Another possibility is to install the Firefox 10.0.12esr (BuildID=20130103094221) version that has more security updates, but misses features present in Firefox 16 (BuildID=20121024073032).

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

  • HT1473 I am a songwriter and new at this.  Can I upload my work for sale on Itune and does Itune interact with the Performing Arts organization?

    I am a songwriter and want to upload my work to itune but I need a few question cleared up.
    1.     Does Itune interact with the Performing Arts organization such as BMI in order for artist to be paid or do i just set up a paypal account and pay artist myself?
    2.     What percentage of sales does itune take or is it a flat rate?
    3.     When i upload does itune give me an option to set price for my work.?

    Town Square,
    In addition to the iTunes Store, you may wish to check out some of the online stores that may be a bit more flexible for artists just starting to sell online:
    NoiseTrade
    BandCamp

  • HT1222 After downloading this, it tells my iphone to resync, and it cant sync with the computer. it gives no information as to why, and I can't start up my iphone, it's in the same syncing state as when i first bought it.

    It's what it says in the question above; after downloading the newest update from apple my Iphone 4 goes into a state where i must resync it with my computer to continue use.  While syncing, about 2/3 of the way done, it says there was an error with the sync, and all of the memory will be erased.  Without my approval, it erased the memory, and now it is in the same "must sync" state as when I first bought it, about one week ago.  I tried syncing on so far two computers, and they both failed, with the same error.  No error code or anything like that is given.
    Help please!!

    Place your phone in DFU mode (search google for instructions) and restore as new.
    If this doesn't work, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.
