I preformed a backup restore on my phone. Is it possible to get the stuff I had on the phone before I performed the restore? I had pictures
I just want to know if it's possible. I really need some of that stuff back. It had been the first time I connected the phone to my Mac. I wasn't able to get the info on my phone saved before the update. It was just confusing. Anyone think they can help?
Probably not. If she plugged in the iPhone after adding the info, iTunes would have opened and displayed a message like "iTunes has detected a new iPhone. Do you want to set it up as a new phone or restore it from a backup [Backup Name]?". In case she elected to restore the iPhone, all content on the new phone would have been erased and replaced by the stuff in the backup. That includes pictures. Concerning the calendar dates, it is possible that those are still there (in case they were made in a MobileMe calendard for example, which means the appointments would have been stored on the web somewhere).

I have the latest version of iTunes. When I plug my iPhone into the computer, it never comes up under the "Devices" tab in iTunes. How can I perform a restore/backup if it won't come up under "Devices" ?

Okay so my 64G iPhone 4S was stolen about a year and a half ago, it was backed up to my computer and I had used around 50G. I got a new iPhone a year ago but it's only 32G so I didn't have enough space to back it up as my old phone, so how do I get all my memory on my old phone back without having to get a 64G phone? Thanks
No, there is no way to put more content then there is capacity for on the device. As wjosten mentioned, you might be able to edit that backup to remove things to reduce it in size where you could then restore it to the new device, but obviously, everything that you had on the old iPhone will never fit on the new one.
No matter what you do, you are going to end up with less content on the new device then on the old one - there is no way around that fact other than returning the 32GB iPhone and getting a 64GB one. A gigabyte of data is a gigabyte of data, regardless of device, and will require a gigabyte of storage again, regardless of device. -
I created a new Itunes playlist and when I synch my phone it is not visable as a playlist on my phone (Iphone 6), but it does appear on my computer as a playlist on my phone. How can I get it to be visable on my phone?
Hi,
It sounds like there may be some disconnect between the phone and the computer. Could be a number of things going on, but one way I've been able to fix this issue on several occasions is by completely removing all of the music from the iPhone (Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage > Music > swipe 'All Songs' to the left and tap 'Delete') and then re-syncing it from iTunes all at once. Be sure to disconnect your phone from the computer and close iTunes first. Keep in mind that any songs that are on the phone but are NOT in the iTunes library will not be synced over after you delete them from the phone. If the songs on the phone were purchased from the iTunes Store you can transfer them to the computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to iTunes then selecting File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from [user's] iPhone.
After deleting all songs from the phone, go back into Settings and check the music storage again to make sure everything was deleted. If the 'Music' app is not listed anymore, then you should be good to go. Just to be sure, you can also check the Music app itself and make sure no songs appear there (if songs appear with cloud icons next to them, turn off 'Show All Songs' in Settings > Music and then check the Music app again -- no songs should appear).
Once you're absolutely sure all songs have been removed from the phone, restart the iPhone, plug it back into the computer, and let iTunes sync. Give it time to sync everything over at once and make sure the sync doesn't get interrupted. Everything you've set to sync should sync over properly.
If it still doesn't sync, there may be a corrupted file in the iOS installation on the phone or in the iTunes installation on the computer. It's more likely that the issue is in the phone's software, especially if you ever installed an iOS update over Wi-Fi (through the Settings app). I'd recommend making an iTunes backup and restoring the phone to factory settings through iTunes. Then set the iPhone up as a new iPhone and test the syncing -- the playlist should sync over properly. If not, Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support. Then test again.
Once you get the syncing working with the phone set up as new, restore the phone from your iTunes backup and test the syncing again. Now that the iOS files have been reinstalled, hopefully the corruption is gone! If it still doesn't sync properly, the corruption may be somewhere else (in a song in the playlist, in some app data in the backup, etc.). That could be harder to pinpoint, but don't worry about that for now. Start simple.
Good luck! -
My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? We share iTunes account so I think we are both on the same iCloud.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using the same ID as a primary iCloud login, then yes she can see your photos in photostream if you have it enabled.
You can use the same ID for iTunes so you can share all your purchases, but you need different ID's for iCloud.
Unfortunately, the mess caused by sharing the ID, will need to be sorted manually, once you both have your own ID's. -
I was in a conversation with a colleague and a text (identical) came to both of our phones, when he researched it, it said it was blocked and I thought I might see where it came from through my phone. Is it possible to get a spam like that to our phones at the same time.If the text came to my number marked from him, it could only have been from him?. Is there a possibility that someone else sent it to both of us at the same time?
Yes, it could be spam. I get spam text from time to time. Yes, you both could have gotten the same spam at the same time. Spammers re sending out thousands and thousands of messages.

So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?
For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.
I can only suggest you now need to somehow link your mobile to sync with the new calendar 'On my Mac'.
I have a work Blackberry whose calendar I sync with an iCal calendar 'On my Mac' using a usb lead and the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. This free piece of software from Blackberry, automatically starts up as soon as I connect the usb to the iMac and it then prompts me to select which calendar 'On the iMac', which is writable, that I want my Blackberry to sync to. -

I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?
Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead). I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's. I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?
I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
Thanks! -
Apple deleted every single thing on my phone. How can I get this stuff back? Please help me.
So I plugged my phone to the computer to add new music, and then Apple said it needed to do an update. So I did. And then when my phone turns back on, pictures and stuff are gone up to a certain date (which must be when I last did a back up. The strange thing is I had some stuff storaged in the Cloud (which is really hard to use) and it was also deleted.
Someone please tell me what to do and how to get my stuff back.
Thank you.Restore your latest backup. If you connect the phone to your computer via USB, click on its name in iTunes, you can see the date of the latest computer backup and the latest iCloud backup.
