I need pictures from a previous backup!

When I updated to iOS 5 all of my music would not work. Therefor I restored my iPod to a previous backup from almost a year ago. This previous backup didnt have a lot of my pictures so I wanted to restore to the newest back up but before I could do so my computer with that account crashed and would not start up. I have the hard drive from that computer and am going through all of the files to find those pictures. Does anyone know how to locate these files?????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K so can you tell me if this is right?
1 F:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\
2 then copy the folder named "Backup" FROM THE OLD HD
and Put it in the
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\
OF MY NEW HD?
3 then i will sync my ipod to the laptop i have never synced it to before (a popup says: this ipod is already set up with another library [the library on my old hd] and can only be synced with one. what would you like to do. Erase and Sync, or Transfer Purchases?) <----- what should I click here?
then I will restore my iPod to the necessary update from
that folder under \MobileSync\
All my pictures should be there?
Please tell me if I am correct so I dont perminantly lose my data and pictures?
And Lastly THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH really.

Cannot restore iPhone 6 from a previous Backup

HELP!!! Very excited this morning to receive my shiny new iPhone 6; non bendy version! However, what on earth has gone wrong with the restore from Backup process. I have been a faithful iPhone user now since their first introduction, and upgrading from previous models to the next has always been unbelievably simple. With the new iPhone 6, I am now approaching my 5th HOUR of trying to set it up from my previous backup, and its still failing.
What is going on, and does anyone have a solution? Is it a problem with the new phone, or is it a compatibility issue with iTunes / Apps / Music, etc.?
I have managed to get passed the App transfer stage by unplugging and plugging the lightning cable in every time the process froze. Then it froze again on pictures, so I resolved again by unplugging and plugging back in. However, now its got to (I think) the stage to restore my Music collection, and the top bar says "Syncing "<phone>" (Step 6 of 6) - Waiting for changes to be applied", and thats it. Frozen again and will not move on, despite restarting phone and iTunes. I can also hit the "x" next to the message, and it does stop, but restarting still seems to stall, and I cannot continue.
What do I do???
Mark

Thanks Nick.
I'm on a MAC, so was hoping all would be smooth and straight forward, as per previous phone updates. I'd already tried the second USB port and then using the new cable out of the box, but no change sadly. I've even gone as far as moving previous backups from the MobileSync directory and starting completely afresh, but this didn't work either.
Problem with starting as a New Phone is, unless I'm mistaken, I'd lose all of my other stored items - Texts, Notes, Contacts, etc. - which I really need transferred. Very exasperating! I don't understand why it's always worked and, since Mr Jobs is no longer there, everything "Apple" seems a bit FLAKEY!! Or is it me??
Thanks again.

I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

My iphone4 performed 2 backups, one with all my stuff on it and one without. How do I get my stuff from the previous backup?

In the process of updated to iOS 5, my iphone4 performed a backup, after installing IOS5 it performed ANOTHER backup (not sure why), but without all my stuff being synced from iTunes, now the backup file (and my phone) contain NOTHING!
How do I get the data from my previous backup back?!? Please Help!! I have already looked into the backup fies on my PC and everything is from the second backup.
I really need my contacts and photos back

Ok. I have 2 hard drives and one of them died apparently so..not knowing what to do, I did chose reinstall Lion after command r open start-up. The whole thing is a mess but my computer is back up and running with the second hard drive. I had a time machine backup which I've been dragging stuff out of. i had to re enter serial numbers and do all sorts of initial set up stuff. 1) How do I get all of my icons (like my HD icon and external drives icons) to appear on my desktop again? I can only find them through a finder window. 2) i now have to type a password to get into my computer (user) - I 'm the only user and don't want to have to do that.

I restored my ipod from a previous backup and I lost all of my photos but it still displays that I have 200 whatever photos, I just cant veiw them. Please help me.

I restored my ipod from a previous backup and lost my photos. The funny thing is, the photo app says that I still have 200 something photos I just can't view them. My iPod says: Unlock your iPod to view your photos.-What does this mean? How can I fix it?

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday.....

I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday..... In addtion, those are the only options I have. I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two. Zero options. Phone works fine though.

I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
In a word, no.
If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

Trying to restore my iPhone 4s from a previous backup and I keep getting a message that says "not enough room on the iPhone". Help!

I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s settings from a previous backup and now I'm getting a "not enough room on the iPhone" message. This is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.

Hi,
How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.
Thanks
-Ganga

Hi,
What is the table you want to restore?
Using export/import is supported with Oracle Apps database (for full database exp/imp, and certain schemas like custom ones). For the Apps schema, I believe it is not supported due to object dependencies and integrity constraints.

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

Should I restore catalogue from a previous backup

I just managed to crash LR (4.1) big time, resulting in a BSOD and immediate Windows shutdown. I have no idea what triggered this: both LR and my PC are usually very reliable, and in fact my PC has never before blue screened on me. At the time, LR was building a collection.
I re-booted and checked over my catalogue in LR, focusing on the images I'd been working on prior to the crash (all in the same folder on my HD). I see no obvious corruption with the images I was working on; in fact LR even managed to complete the collection. I allowed it to check the catalogue integrity and it found no issues. However I now have a nagging doubt that perhaps I'm overlooking something... Do you think it might be worth my while to restore from a previous backup, just to be sure no corruption has managed to rear its head in my catalogue, or do you think that, based on the lack of any warning signs, I should be OK?
This raises another related question: how do you know that a catalogue is corrupted at all? Does LR give you any warning/error message?
M

There's no obvious warning signs for a corrupted catalog; no one can tell you check A, B and C to determine if the catalog is corrupted.
However, there is a sign that it is not corrupted, and that's the integrity check, which apparently passed. I would worry no more about this.
By the way, I have the occasional blue screen of death crashes, these are not normally caused by Lightroom, but usually hardware or video drivers are the culprit. I have never had problems with my Lightroom catalog when LR was open and the computer crashed.

My replacement 5S wont restore from a previous backup. Im asked for a password and no password i use works.

My replacement 5s wont restore from a previous backup. I'm asked for a password and no password i use works.

iTunes or iCloud? If it is iTunes, then it has an encryption password on it, and you won't be able to get the backup without the password. If it is iCloud, it would be your Apple ID password.

Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
Downgrading iOS is not allowed.
What are your problems?
Maybe if you list them here we can help you to fix them.
