HT4946 Oops, I deleted my device backup from iTunes but want it back!
When a device backup is deleted from iTunes, is there a way to get it back? I was trying to sync my iPad and create a backup on my new laptop, but it glitched during the sync process so now my "Other" is shown as almost 25GB on my 64GB iPad. I had created a backup at that point, which included all my local app data. However, in my attempt to fix the "Other" size issue, I somehow ended up restoring my iPad to an old backup from two months ago and deleted the current backup accidentally. I would really like to find out where the device backup goes when it is deleted. Does it move to the Recycle Bin or anywhere else on the computer I can access it to bring it back? I have lost about two months of local app data by accidentally restoring to this older backup, but now I have no current backup to use!
That is a really good suggestion, however it was all done within a period of a few hours (from time of backup creation to accidentally deleting that new backup instead of the two-month old version). Therefore, I don't believe the computer had a backup in between that time. I will look, but I think it was created and deleted all too quickly for there to be a secondary backup restore point on the computer.

Hi.
I have my macbook pro and my brother and i got the iphone 4 on the 24th june. so anyway because he has no computer atm i let him sync and backup his iphone on my macbook pro. but since he got his own computer i would like to delete that backup. please does any one know where mac stores the backups and how to get to it? i tried to google but the locations i found, the dirs did not exist when i went to open it? is there some kind of hidden folders thing on mac?
i am on 10.6.4 the latest of snow lep if that makes any difference. and i am new to mac lol
any help would be appreciated.. thanks in advancedHi,
If you are syncing via iTunes then you can open the Preferences and goto the Devices tab.
Within this tab you will see a list of all the device backups.
All you need to do is click on a backup and click the Delete Backup button.
This will remove all the files from your computer.
Hope this helps. -
I even tried changing the name of the file. When I choose "add file to library", then select the file, it does nothing, and provides no explanation. I also tried adding a specific file that had been previously deleted. I did not re-encode this movie; I just wanted to add the same file again and it would not let me.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 7. I appreciate any help that could be offered.In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first. -
I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do
It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!! -

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?
If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it. -
What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?
What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?
Nothing. You will lose that backup but you will still be able to make backups in the future if you want to. You can also remove things you do not need from the backup, so you do not have to lose everything from your backup.

when I try to delete old 4s backup from iCloud (I have a 5s) it tells me it cannot be deleted because in use. How to I fix that to delete it?
That should clear up on it's own when it times out in 3-5 days. Wait a few days, then try deleting it again.

I am turning in a MacBook, I need to keep my TimeMachine backups on TimeMachine but want to delete TimeMachine history from the MacBook. How can I do this?
Local snapshots
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878
TimeMachine>preferences
how to disable the local snapshot:
1.click the time machine menubar icon
2.open TM preference...
3.Option...
4.uncheck the ’create local snapshot‘
This will keep normal (remote) Time Machine back ups on, but disable local ones. It will also delete the current local cache automatically.
or
copy and paste into terminal :
sudo tmutil disablelocal -
I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.
Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore. -
I can't delete an old backup from my iCloud
Hi, I'm trying to turn off and delete an old backup from my iCloud, but I received an error message "Cannot Delete Backup - this backup cannot be deleted beacaus it is in use". I don't know how I can delete this old backup. Does anyone help me?
TksI'm having the same problem.
I just sold my iPad on eBay and will get the iPad mini Retina, so in the meantime I'm borrowing my brother's iPad.
I backed up my iPad, and restored it to my brother's one, and now I'm trying to delete the old backup, but I get this exact same message, and it's been about 9 hours since I did the restore.
To make matters worse, my 10GB subscription ends tomorrow, and I don't need any more than 5GB, and now I'm over the limit when I could delete this 1GB backup and not have to worry about the subscription ending.
I've tried deleting it from my iMac, iPhone, and this iPad. -

In order to install the new iOS7, I want to backup my phone to the iCloud first. I haven't backed up my phone since June, and have deleted tons of stuff since then. My iCloud doesn't have enough room to backup my phone at this time, so can I simply delete the OLD backup from my cloud and make a new backup? *WITHOUT LOSING ANYTHING CURRENTLY ON MY PHONE*? HELP!!!!!!!!
Yes, pictures in Photo Stream will deleted. Only on photo stream not on iCloud and Camera Roll. You can login again if you want.
