I lost my iphone on holiday and now I have a replacement I cannot find the backup I made a month ago.  Have I lost everything?

I definitely backed up my iphone 4 which was on iOS6 to my laptop.  I then lost my iphone and have got a replacement which was already on iOS7.  I have tried to restore the backup I made before I went away and I the most recent backup I have is from may last year! Where are all the backups I have made?  I need some of the apps and info which is on this backup.  I have checked  C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup but there are only 6 folders in there.

In iTunes, on your computer, in the menu on the right is a "Purchased" option.  Music is the default I believe and you can download it all or select whichever you want.

  • I backed up before restoring my iPod and I cannot find the backup

    I recently had issues with a forgotten passcode so I restored my iPod, but I also backed it up beforehand, and now I cannot find the backup, it had really important notes and the only notes that were deleted were the important ones. Can someone please help me?? I've tried WonderShare Dr Fone for iOS and other programs and none of them show the backup.

    If you backed up to iTunes then what is listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices?
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • HT1267 my iphone restored automatically, and now i have lost everything, including apps, contacts, texts etc...i cannot retrieve apps from my itunes as my new itunes did not have all the apps, due to rebooting my comp..can someone help on how i can retrei

    My  phone  automatically restored, and now i have lost everythig apps,contacts,texts..i mean everything.... and my itunes does not have anything as my computer had to be reboot,due to a new hard disk...
    Can someone help,i really need my contacts  back asap....

    well i put my phone on charge, when the connect to itunes icon appeared.therefore, resulting in restorage of the phone.
    The prompt to connect to iTunes is automatic, but not the restore process. You must manually select restore. There is no automatic restore.
    in order to re-download apps, i will need to re-purchase...and i cannot afford the amount,
    Read the link I provided. Had you done so, you would know you do not have to re-purchase apps when re-downloaded.
    but to be honest, i am concerned about my contacts. which have completely disapeared and i just want them back.
    Unless your contacts were synced with a supported address book app on your computer as designed and intended and your contacts were included with your computer's backup, or unless your contacts are available online with a free Apple iCloud account, with a free Yahoo account, or with a free Gmail account with all providing the ability to sync contacts over the air, your contacts are gone.

  • Upgraded to Premiere Elements 12 and unlimited storage .. Elements program cannot find the catalog.

    Upgraded to Premiere Elements 12 and unlimited storage per Adobe staff, only problems since. Once I got catalog to properly start loading to Revel the new software wrongly messaged was that it was completely up to date. Now when i tried to start Elements program cannot find the catalog. I am the type person that am willing to pay to get this resolved so who do I call? I am doing this as a hobby and this is not fun etc... many useless unpleasant hours.

    I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem.  The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform".  Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

    The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...
    Thank you!!!

  • Adobe Illustrator appears as "installed and updated" on Creative Cloud but I cannot find the Application on my Computer (Windows)

    Creative Cloud is installed and working on my computer, nevertheless the Application "Adobe Illustrator" appears as "Installed and Updated" but it is physically NOT in my computer.
    I cannot find the Application in my computer, I installed Photoshop and other Apps, they are all to find in my PC, except Illustrator.
    I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and all the Apps that I had, I re-installed creative cloud but still it showed "Adobe Illustrator" as "installed and updated", even if I have no Adobe illustrator folder on my Computer, it really does not exist in my computer.
    What is wrong with the Application?

    Klerica please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html for information on how to reinstall Adobe Illustrator.

  • I tried to update my iPod and now it's saying that iTunes cannot connect the iPod. What should I do?

    I updated my iTunes and then went to update my iPod to the newer 4.2 version that it kept asking me to and now it says that iTunes cannot connect the iPod. My iPod is now unusbale because the screen on the iPod itself shows that i need to connect it to iTunes, but when I do, there's an error message that pops up telling me that iTunes cannot connect it. Help!! How do I fix this?!

    See:

    I would start with

  • My iphone is disabled and will not connect to itunes, i cannot use the same computer as my last backup

    I disabled my cousins iPhone by pressing random numbers until his iPhone said ; iPhone is disabled connect to iTune ; in red on his front screen. He is in a different province for a month from where he last backed up his iPhone. We tried connecting it to iTunes, but it says it cannot be connected unless the iphones passcode is put in.. which is impossible. Is there some way i can restore his iphone without him losing ANYTHING on it.. like today...

    Put the device in DFU mode and restore.
    When he gets back to the computer that he normally syncs with, he can restore from his backup.  Everything since that last backup will be lost.
    Start apologizing now... keep it up for a few months to several years.
    Then hopefully you will learn to leave other peoples stuff alone.

  • Firefox 4 initially worked fine, but after a back-up and restoration (now on a hybrid disk) it cannot find the bookmarks and crashes when I attempt to open the HTML file

    I installed Firefox 4 on my 2010 13" MBP, standard configuration. It worked fine except that it didn't recognize any of the add-ons I was using and, to be frank, I don't like the interface as much as v.3. But ...
    Then I backed up the entire HD, wiped the HD, removed it and replaced it with a Seagate hybrid HD. I then booted from the b/u and installed the entire HD contents on the new hybrid HD. Everything runs fine except for one thing -- Firefox 4 now will not recognize my bookmarks.
    I tried reinstalling FF4 but this made no difference.
    I did the b/u and restoration with Carbon Copy Cloner which I have used successfully for many b/u and restore operations on this and the white MB I previously owned.
    Uh oh! I just tried to save a new bookmark (of this page) and it did not save -- or at least, it did not show in the "Show all Bookmarks" pane.
    HOWEVER, when I start typing in a URL, it FF4 comes up with the completed URL in a flash. e.g. I typed "wiz" and FF4 showed me the completed URL (which should be in my Toolbar bookmarks and which I visit t least once daily).
    Kind regards

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • HT4061 Hello. My iphone is dead and doesn´t start. Where can I find the serial number?

    My iphone doesn´t start so I can not find my serial number? I need to replace it. How do I do?

    All the numbers are either on the back of the phone or on the original box..
    Your Carrier will have the info..
    If you bought it from a Carrier return it to them.
    If you bought it direct from Apple Call Them.
    I presume it is a new iPhone and under warranty or Applecare+

  • I really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

    Hi, I just had an issue with a photoshop document, my mac book temporarily crashed the screen glitches and deleted some vital layers I had constructed (took half a day) I thought I could correct it and saved it a few times in a panic and now i really need to go back to the save I made a day ago, my time machine is not set up and I just realised my files haven't been automatically uploading to cc is there anyway I can go back a day in saves?

    Video editing software only needs to save the steps taken to achieve the edit, and references the actual video files from the hard drive.  So the saved files are only tiny, and it takes very little drive space to auto save to incrementing file names.  Obviously, Photoshop files can be huge by comparison, so the only way to save with a different file name is to do it manually.
    I think most regular posters to this forum make a point of updating the file name of a large project every hour or so, and as a direct response to reading so many horror stories like your own.  The worst story I remember was from a poster whose computer had crashed half way through saving a large PSD file.  After several response, questions and answers, it turned out he was using a laptop with a failing battery.  He told us that he could see the battery was getting low, but left it and left it before finally hitting Ctrl s and running off to find the laptop's power lead. When he got back the laptop had run out of power and shut down, and his PSD file was lost forever.  He may have been a prime candidate to a computing Darwin Award, but his stupidity still did the rest of us a service so we could learn from his mistake.
    Ouch. 
    My digital audio workstation works on the same principle; it creates a backup save just in case things go wrong (which--knock on wood--hasn't happened to me) and only references audio/MIDI files that are related to the project.
    My advice is to always, always back up sensitive documents. There are lots of ways of doing this, from manually to automatically. (e.g., A lot of higher-end routers let you connect external storage via USB so you can run backup software that detects any changes to a monitored folder over a network and then backs up any changed/updated documents to the connected storage. I prefer to do it myself manually, though.)
