HT4528 i backed up my iphone to my computer. now how do i locate the info i backed up? its nowhere to be found on my computer

i backed up the contacts (i hope) from my iphone to my computer. now how do i find out where the backed up info is?? itunes has no path, there's no icon on my desktop...what now?

Contacts and other infomration in the backup file are in a special file format. You would not be able to access them with standard programs. Also, contacts are not backed up that well, you should sync them to a supported application on the computer, such as Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook. That gives you acess to them, or you could use iCloud or another cloud service.This support document will tell you where the backup is. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

My App Store is deleted and the option to turn it back on in restrictions is grayed out. How do I get the App Store back?

If a reset didn;t work, then you can try restoring your iPad. Don't restore from a back up because if there is a glitch with restrictions, it will just set that option up again. Of if you are sure you have a backup created before you changed restrictions settings, then you can back up from that.

HT4692 Ok. Now how to I get the garageband file BACK onto my iPad?

Ok. I have successfully transferred garageband files from my ipad to my itunes into file sharing and then saved them onto my mac in a file. Now, the question is.... how do I (after deleting garageband files off of my ipad) put them BACK on???
My iPad is just too full because of my garageband files. I want to be able to take these files off and put back on certain ones when I would like to work on them again. Thanks -R

Step 1
First you put the the GarageBand Project back onto the GarageBand Documents area of you iTunes File Sharing section and make sure your iPad syncs with iTunes.
Step 2
Now in GarageBand, go to the My Songs window, click the + button and select "Copy from Tunes". You should see all the GarageBand Projects that are available in your iTunes FIle Sharing section (from step 1). Tap on it to copy the Project to the My Songs window.
Now you can open it.
Hope that helps

Once you have activated the iPad and have reached the set up page, you will get an option to set it up as new, from an iTunes backup or from an iCloud backup.

HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???

ORIGINAL REVISED QUESTION =
AFTER ALL THAT ~ going through the whole MESS you have created and YOU TELLING ME that "in order to have a chance of getting my question answered ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I CAN", you REFUSE to accept is by saying, "Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less ..."!!! Are you INCAPABLE of saying that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS??? HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???
ORIGINAL QUESTION = I had SEVERAL plugins that WORKED!!! Then, I "upgraded" {as you, LAUGHINGLY, claim} to your Firefox 4 version after being promised by you that it's BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the older version. After I installed the NEW one ~ IT TURNED OFF ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS!!! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very cleverly {and, actually, HATEFULLY} ummmm, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE so that it didn't DESTROY everything we, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU got hold of it!!! So, now, *HOW* do I get the OLDER version back??? I think you should KNOW what you can do with this newer "UPGRADE" that is, actually, a LIE!!! UPGRADES do NOT take you in REVERSE ~ making things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER!!! DUH-H-H-H!!!
ORIGINAL DETAILS =
I, recently, purchased a new HP 4500 Printer and it came with a video-capture extension/plugin. Attempting to use it, the program informed me that I needed to be using, either, an EI or a Firefox Browser mentioning version 1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; so, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, it added the plugin to the browser ~ PERFECTLY!!! I, also, had MANY other plugins that worked and that I used somewhat regularly!!! NOT ANY MORE!!! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPT, WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have STOLEN nearly HALF of my COMPUTER!!! I can, no longer, USE ANY OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply, because YOU "forgot" {let's say} to INCLUDE them in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM??? WHY DIDN'T *YOU* WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, ANY LONGER???
Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU and that YOU are its AXIS!!! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in any way compatible with what is, already, available ~ according to the "advice" I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everybody else must accommodate YOUR claimed "improvements" that do nothing but DESTROY!!!
All I want is for YOU to, either, MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or, advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER version back that *IS* compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to a different browser and advise all others over whom I have any influence to do the same for the sake of their overall computering enjoyment!!!
PLEASE ADVISE!!!
I see that you have provided {below this window} a space for, likely, a SINGLE Extension / Plugin. Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~
ArcSoft Video Downloader Extension 2.0.0.8
Copy to Wordperfect Lightning 1.0
Google Photos Screensaver 2.0
HP Smart Web Printing 4.5
iWinGames Plugin 1.5
Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1
RAW Thumbnail Viewer 2.0.0.11
Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.1.3
TVU Web Player 2.5.3.1
Yahoo! Toolbar 2.1.3.20100310105313

THANK YOU, TREMENDOUSLY, for the responsive information!!! Although, the WISHTHEYWUZ "programmers" and those that are, actually, controlling and "in charge" of this website ~ you know who I mean ~ those that are so SUPERB at, ONLY, "PASSING THE BUCK" in order to get the regular USERS to answer the questions directed at THEM {as mine was}!!! In that way, of course, they EVADE countless issues and what would be EXTREME PANGS OF GUILT to anyone that "stood responsible" for their actions!!! Regardless, even though, "THEY" continued to lay the blame for the SHODDINESS & EXTREME INEPTNESS OF *THEIR* PROGRAMMING ATTEMPTS onto others ~ the links that *YOU* were kind enough to share with me *DID*, in fact, get my older ~ MUCH MORE USABLE browser back!!! Of course, NOW, the shoddy WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have rigged everything so that I will be HOUNDED and HARASSED in order to try to FORCE the crappy version 4 back onto me!!! I, still, wanna provide YOU with all the ACCOLADES possible!!! Your desire to attempt to HELP OTHERS is, truly, a remarkable characteristic in today's world of SELFISHNESS and UNGODLY attitude problems!!!

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting.

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

The pic sync is one way - computer to iPhone.
You should be storing all of your photos on your computer. Jut sync them to your iPhone.

If you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?

You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.

To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.
