If you have a backup on your computer it will be listed in iTunes>Preferences on the Devices tab.  It will be located on your hard drive at one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Note: the backup file(s) have long alphanumeric filenames and cannot be read without special software.

  • If I reset my iphone5, can I restore it with a backup from an iphone4 using itunes?

    I got a new iPhone 5 today and the salesperson advised me to sync my old iPhone 4 before connecting the new phone. I synced it but didn't back it up, and had not backed up for several months.
    My new iPhone then only had the information from that back up. So I disconnected it and backed up my old phone and then connected the new phone and tried to restore it from the backup, but it didn't seem to recognise that I wanted it to restore from the other phone's backup and still only includes that old information and none of my new apps.
    Can someone please advise what my best course of action would be? If I restore the new phone, can I somehow make it understand that I want to restore from the old phone's backup?

    Start over. Make sure you have the most recent backup form old iPhone.
    iPhone 5: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    Note: Only apps data is in the backup, apps can be sync using iTunes or redownload.

  • How to transfer music from old computer and itunes to new computer itunes

    How can i get all my music off my old windows xp version with itunes to my new vista with itunes

    I wonder if you might know how to answer this somewhat related question: I, unfortunately, copied my iTunes music library onto an external hard drive before I read about the consolidating option. Stupidly, I then did the consolidation. Now I have each song listed twice in my library and one of each is an orphan, so I have to manually locate each one. That's a lot of music! Is there a way to undo my stupidity?

  • How to import music from my computer into iTunes 12

    I tried "Add To ->" then My iPhone, but it didn't add it. Help?

    There are various programs that can convert wma files.  I have a couple, but they are specifically windows programs, so I run them with parallels.  Switch is a basic one, but it doesn't preserve the tags.  The newest one I got was dbpoweramp....this program preserved all the tags and saves a LOT of work.

    Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

  • Can't view time machine backups from old computer on new computer

    My macbook pro laptop recently died and I am trying to access its time machine backup data through Finder on a different computer.  In each one of my folders from different dates, however, the majority of the computer folders I would like to access (i.e. desktop, documents, dropbox, etc) have a little red "no" sign in the corner and prompt the following message when selected:
    "The folder “FolderName” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents"
    How can I gain permission to see its contents? As the former user, I know whatever passwords are restricting these files, but I don't know how/where to go to give permission to these folders. I've tried going into Disk Utility and changing the permissions there, but to no avail, despite successful changing of the "Sharing & Permissions" to "Read & Write" for all listed accounts.
    I'm currently trying to view this on an imac OSX 10.6.8. The dead MacBook pro ran OSX
    thanks

    Hi Kate,
    It sounds like you're running into an issue trying to recover that was on your previous Mac from a Time Machine backup. The article linked below will walk you through the process of recovering the data from your older Mac's Time Machine backup.
    OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    Time Machine or other disk migration
    If Migration Assistant isn't running on the target (new) Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), select "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" then click Continue.
    Connect your external hard drive if necessary.
    Type in your admin password when prompted and click OK.
    When the target Mac asks you for a migration method, select "From a Time Machine backup or other disk", then click Continue.
    Select the Drive, Time Machine backup, or Time Capsule. If you select Time Capsule you will be prompted to enter the Time Capsule password. After entering the password, select the Time Machine backup.
    Close all other applications on the source Mac, then click Continue to start the migration options.
    The source Mac will ask you to select items to migrate.
    You can customize your selection by clicking to open the disclosure triangles.
    After you click Continue, the Migration Assistant will begin to transfer files to the target Mac. The amount of time that it takes for migration to complete depends on the amount of data being transferred and the speed of the network.
    Note: To view documents that were migrated, choose Log Out from the Apple () menu, then login as the migrated user. The migrated documents will be located in the migrated user's home folder.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT4859 how to get pictures from icloud when Iphone is stolen

    how to pictures and music from Icloud when phone is stolen

    Photo stream photos can only be access from another iOS device or computer signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.  Camera roll photos (and videos) are contained in the iPhone backup, assuming you have one.  If you backed up to your computer using iTunes, you can extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.  If you backed up to iCloud, your these photos can only be accessed by restoring the backup to another iOS device.
    Music isn't included in the backup; it should be in your iTunes library.  Music purchased from iTunes can be redownloaded again for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but music from other sources, if not in your iTunes library, cannot be recovered.

  • I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates

    I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates?

    Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
    Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
    Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
    You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

    If you are using Photo Stream on your computer (Mac - logged into iCloud & Phtot Stream on / PC - installed iCloud Control Panel logged in and have Photo Stream turned on) then the photos you deleted should be safe and sound on your computer. Otherwise you may be out of luck.

  • How do i import my movie and dvds from my computer onto itunes. it not importing

    How do i import my movie files from my computer onto itunes? its not importing when i go to file and import files.

    If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
    If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
    The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

        I'm sorry to hear you no longer have access to your pictures ItzKB11. I know they're important, we'll do everything we can to help. However, since you did not back them up to any source and the screen does not work, we only have a couple options. Try using the USB cable to tranfer to PC:
    From the Device to a Computer
      • Launch Windows Explorer.
    Using the computer keyboard, press Windows E (  E) keys.
    Alternatively, right-click Start then click Explore.
      • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to:
      • SCH-I545 > Phone
      • Utilize the computer to copy video/picture files from the following folders into the desired folder(s) on the computer's hard drive:
      • DCIM
      • Download
      • Movies
      • Pictures
      • Disconnect the USB cable from the computer.
