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:

HT4946 Can I restore my iphone from a previous backup and how? Thank you.

Whilst downloading the latest version 6.0.1, my computer advised me I had insufficient space and could not complete the sync, however it erased my phone content and backed-up this, so when I went to restore my phone it had nothing to restore. Can I use a previous back-up (I did one about 2 weeks earlier) so restore my contacts, calenders etc.

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.

Hi i cant find my ipod in itunes it is connected to the computer by the usb but in itunes it does not have a list of devices so i cannot sync please help

has nyone else had this probelm or know how to resolve it??

Type "ipod touch not recognized in itunes" into the search bar a the top of this page by "Support".

First of all i was told i needed updates for ipod,so i did this,and it wiped all my music off,but it still won't connect to my wi fi ?

I have an ipod touch and i wanted to get online while i was roaming,so i joined BT openzone which allows you to use other peoples wi fi,but ever since i joined i can't connect with my ipod,so went to the apple store and asked them,they said i needed updates,i got the updates which wiped my music off and it still won't connect,what do i do.

How could we possibly know what the problem is? Call your IT guy and ask him what he did.

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.

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.

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.

Lost contacts, restored from a backup and now lost all photos

My wifes iphone 4s just lost all her contacts out of the blue. I tried to restore her contacts from a old backup and now she has lost a LOT of VERY important photos that were saved on her phone. Photos for her collage final "capstone" project before graduating.
WHAT can i do to get them back????
Phone has not been backed up since 6/12 and when we conected it to the computer (after ALL her contacts have just dissapeared) we attempted to get them back by restoreing from that backup. once finished all her contacts were back but now she is missing almost 400 photos.
PLEASE is there a way.....

You cannot recover the photos. They were overwritten by the restore. If your father had enabled PhotoStream they might still be available, but again, only if this had already been enabled.

Dear Nay2000,
I have the same problem, my girl-friend saved a bigger Gigabyte library from her old laptop before she sold it, then at some point she realized that she couldn't play many songs that she had transfered. Now, I paid those 30 quid as well, and it doesn't play 99% of the files, that is very frustrating, is there any way you got it revived?
Regards.

How to restore an iPhone from a previous backup using iTunes

Hi all, I don't have a question - but merely a story of the solution I found to restore a previous backup from my wife's iPhone 5c that had some problems. Long story short, something got jammed with her Exchange email account settings and she lost all of her contacts and emails. Everything was fine on her work server (accessing the account using Outlook or the web app worked just fine). For whatever reason, this would not be fixed by deleting and recreating the Exchange account on the iPhone for some reason.
First let me say that this would never have worked if I didn't have a recent, intentional, manual backup of her phone. Moral of the story: plug your phone in to your computer and back up regularly. However, the trouble always seems to arise (much like it did in this case): with an automatic backup overwriting a good file with bad data.
My last known good backup was on Feb 17th. After that date, something went wrong on the phone. When I connected it to the computer in an effort to restore it from that backup, I was befuddled by the fact that the first thing iTunes does is immediately back up the phone, which automatically overwrites the 'Latest Backup' with today's date (the 20th). I tried restoring the backup thinking to myself that iTunes would fish out the second most recent, but when it was finished I got a restored version of the phone that was broken, not the working copy from the 17th.
Before starting this process it's important to know what on which date your last good backup completed.
I should note that in my study I learned that there is a fundamental difference between backing up and syncing. The former handles all the settings and iOS stuff, the latter is all about apps and music (and stuff). This knowledge proved useful later.
I'm using an iMac with OSX Yosemite 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50, and a USB backup drive filled daily, courtesy of Time Machine.
The process looked like this:
1. Unplug the phone, double tap the home button and quit all the apps, and turn it off. It's probably not necessary to shut it down entirely, but that's what OCD does - it makes you do irrational things.
2. Quit all the computer's programs, and restart. Again, the wonder of OCD.
3. Once restarted, don't open iTunes. Mouse up to the 'Go' menu in the Finder top bar. Click on 'Go'. Hold down the 'Option' key and you'll notice the 'Library' submenu magically appears. Click 'Library'.
4. A Finder > Library window will open. Double click on 'Application Support'. Double click on 'MobileSync'. You should be staring at a Finder window with a folder called 'Backup'. Don't double click it.
5. From here, launch Time Machine from the Dock or from Mission Control. Ooh and aaahh as the Finder window magically animates itself into file-folder order.
6. Scan back in time to the date after your last good backup. Click 'Restore'. It will ask you if you want to keep or overwrite the 'Backup' folder. I overwrote mine. It was a 25GB folder, so the Time Machine recovery took a while.
7. While the recovery was going on, I learned of a way (here) to use the Terminal application (inside Mission Control > Other) to disable the automatic backup function in iTunes. For sake of not mis-copying the Terminal commands and giving you broken code, I suggest you refer to that page - plus, you should give them kudos and share their work because frankly, I'm not smart enough to have written it. Simply copy in the 'disable' command in to Terminal, wait a moment, and a new Terminal command line will pop-up. That means it's done and good. I thought I might get some fireworks, but alas.
8. With the backups turned off, the phone unplugged, and the Time Machine restore complete, I quit Time Machine and launched iTunes.
9. I plugged in the phone. It booted up. It then synced, but did not backup (which was perfect). The 'Latest Backup' field thankfully read February 17th. Joy. I clicked 'Restore Backup...' and the process began. The phone successfully recovered and I was elated.
10. Now recovered and fully functional again (contacts and mail both intact), I again unplugged the phone and then quit iTunes. I returned to the Terminal application, and punched in the other code that causes the automatic backup to resume. I relaunched iTunes, plugged in a different iPhone (to test objectively), and it both synced and backed up. Huzzah.
To be honest, I won't be following this thread nor replying to questions if any arise. I just thought I should share the solution and thank all of the people who posted stuff along the way that helped me out of a jam. Thank You.

Hi austinflorida,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you want to restore your iOS backups to the new iTunes installation. Take a look at the information below on how you can accomplish this.
If you backed your iOS device up to iTunes, back up your devices on the new computer or manually transfer the backups from your old computer. The backups belong in:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and then choose Run. Type %appdata%and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start, and then in the search bar type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, move the cursor to the top-right, click on the magnifying glass charm, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

HT4137 I am trying to follow the steps suggested in To restore you device from a previous backup, unfortunately the device is appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How can I resolve this?

I was trying to setup a new ipad. After resetting and erasing the content on the ipad, I would like to restore the ipad from the old backup. Unfortunately the device is not appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How else can I restore the ipad?

Sorry, you can't extract those photos from the old device unless you restore the new phone from that backup.
You could of course use a third party software to extract those pics but it will cost you.
If you still have the old phone import those pics to your computer and then sync those photos to your new phone via itunes.

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.
