Identifying Notes in a backup

Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to identify the file (files?) in an iPhone backup that contain the data from Apple's own Notes app? We lost of a bunch of stuff in an OS4 upgrade; we got most of it back but not the notes... so I am wondering if there are any specific files types I might look at for the Notes data..
Thx in advance.
[3G iPhone, iOS4.2]

Sorry, from what I have been told if the notes are lost during an upgrade or backup there is no way to recover the notes from the phone or the computer.
I do recommend, because I had a similar issue to use a free note sync program like Evernote to prevent it from happening again.

ITunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password??

iTunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password?? I've never set a password for my old iPhone 3gs but tried my old Apple ID sign-in passwords to no avail. I've simply sat here so frustrated....my husband sync'd his new iPhone 4 no problem, somehow the checkbox shows Encrypted password and I'm at a loss on how to change this/find the password and transfer my old backup onto my new phone so I can use it. Can anyone help? Tnx

John,
buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

I am trying to restore a backup onto my iphone from itunes but it asked me for a backup password which I cant remember, is there anyway that I can reset the password and not lose my backup?

Try entering the password on your iPhone

I just bought a MBP after my PC crashed. How do I set up my itunes library on my new Mac? I do not have a backup drive, and I was unable to recover anything from the trashed PC drive. Can the library be rebuilt/restored??

Finally made the switch from PC to Mac, after my PC crashed and burned. I Do not have a backup on an external drive, and I was unable to recover any data from the trashed PC hard drive.
Can I download my library, or is there a way to get my itunes content on my new Macbook Pro? I have almost 10 years of music and stuff on my iTunes, so I really hope there is a fix!
Thanks!

No backup is a huge mistake.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.

"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk is not availab

I have a Seagate 750 MB external disk connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Base Station. It worked fine with Time Machine under Leopard but it's not working the way it was under OS X 10.6.2. I'm hopeful someone can help me solve the problem.
Let's say the name of my Airport Extreme Base Station is "Airport." If I remember correctly, under Leopard time machine would start a wireless backup not long after I turned on the Seagate drive. That no longer happens.
I've erased and re-formatted the Seagate drive with 2 GUID partitions, one for my 24" iMac and one for my 17" MacBook Pro. Both computers are about 3 years old. In order to do the re-partitioning, I had to unplug the Seagate drive from the base station and plug it into one of the iMac's USB ports. If I didn't do this, nothing other than the iMac's drive appears in the left pane of Disk Utility, although the name of my base station, i.e, "Airport" does appear in the Finder and PathFinder (a replacement for Finder that I use).
In fact, Time Machine works under 10.6.2. as long as the Seagate drive is plugged into the iMac's USB port. As soon as I plug the Seagate drive into the USB port of the base station, Time Machine no longer works. The backup is "delayed." When I click on "Back Up Now" a few seconds go by and I get the following dialog box: "Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk is not available."
In my Airport Extreme Base Station setup (Airport Utility version 5.4.2), the "Disks" pane sees both partitions on the Seagate drive. File sharing is enabled on the "File sharing" pane and "Secure Shared Disks:" is set to "With a disk password." "Airport Disks Guest Access:" is not allowed, nor is "Share disks over WAN."
When the Seagate drive is plugged into the base station and I click on "Airport" in the Finder or PathFinder, I'm prompted for the password I mentioned above because the shared disks are secured with a password. Once the password is typed, both partitions on the Seagate drive appear in Finder and PathFinder. When I try a Time Machine backup at this point, I get the same error I described above, i.e., "Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk is not available."
One last thing, I did an "Archive and Install" when I upgraded to Snow Leopard since I thought the changes were relatively minor as compared with past OS X upgrades. Normally, I do a clean install but didn't feel like it this time. I also tried deleting the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist to no avail and restarted my iMac to no avail.
At this point I'm completely stumped. As I said, Time Machine works as long as the Seagate drive is plugged directly into one of the iMac's USB ports as opposed to the base station's USB port. But doesn't this defeat the purpose of having wireless backup? Once again, the wireless backup worked fine under 10.5.8.
I hope my message is clear and a solution would be most welcome.
Thank you,
Richard

I'm having the same problem. If my TimeMachine drive is not connected, I'll get the "Time machine could not complete the backup" "The backup disk is not available" warning a couple times a day. This is extremely problematic if I'm giving a presentation. I have tried changing my TimeMachine drive, removing that drive, repairing permissions, and have not been able to solve the problem.
Please help!

Reboot the TC.. it sometimes gets lost on the network.. are you still actually using 10.6.8 as the problem is more prevalent on Lion and ML it seems is no better.
You might find reset of the TC is needed. change the names to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Reset the TM to the new name.. use the A4 in Pondini's great KB.

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen. Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system. After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

WARNING: Full Backup option is NOT a full backup (you lose your older voicemails)

Just a warning out there for anyone upgrading phones or otherwise restoring from a back up. iTunes gives the option for either iCloud backup, which will "back up the most important data on your iPhone to iCloud", OR Computer Backup in which "a full backup of your iPhone will be stored on this computer".
A downside of the computer backup is that you have to plug in via wire. It is not a wireless option for backup. Frankly, that's not any bother. My phone sits each night at my desk anyhow to charge.
Another downside, however, that I discoverd today is that it is NOT A FULL BACKUP. It does not back up voicemail. Whether there is anything else it doesn't back up, I don't know. But it doesn't back up voicemails. How do I know? When I restored, I lost every voice mail older than 30 days (I'm an ATT&T user). That sweet message my 4-year-old left me. Gone. That client I needed to get back to even thought it's been a while. Gone.
I can't tell you how frustrating this is. Doesn't make it better when Apple tried to start blaming AT&T.
The Apple engineers have screwed this one up. Either allow the option for autobackups during a wired sync AND allow iCloud backup (rather than requiring you to select either or).. OR include visual voicemail backup as part of the full back up to the computer. In other words, make sure that "full back up" means "full". And if you can't do either of those, then don't use the word "full" when it's not a full back up. Include the caveat that you might lost voice mail if you don't do an iCloud back up.
Apple: fix this.
Consumers: Avoid this situation. Before switching phones, do the iCloud sync, then do a manual backup. That would have avoided this situation of losing voicemails. Now I know. Too late for me -- but hopefully not for you.

Apple blaming AT&T (as told to you by AT&T), and you believe AT&T that it's Apple's fault? Voice Mail is a service provided by your provider. Apple is not the provider - AT&T is. In the AT&T User Guide, they tell you how to permanently save your voicemails. They also say this:
4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETRIEVE MESSAGES.
AT&T assumes no responsibility for
the deletion or failure to store or retrieve Voice Mail messages.
As described in Your Guide, your Service will retain only a
limited number of messages and will store messages only
for a limited number of days. AT&T retains the right, at AT&T’s
sole discretion and at any time, to change any
of the capacity limits on message exchange and st
orage. Accordingly, timely retrieval of
messages is your
responsibility.
FYI, here is a link to the AT&T Voice Mail User Guide:
https://www.vm.att.com/dchelp/EN/att_vm_user_guide.pdf
Apple is not to blame here - it is not Apple's job to keep your Voice Mails - it is AT&T's job. iTunes doesn't back up Voice Mail at all as indicated here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
It backs up the Voice Mail password, but not the actual Voice Mail. If you only have 30 days - talk to AT&T....
Sorry you lost your 3-year old's message. That is really sad..... Just wanted you to know where the problem actually lies.
Cheers,
GB

Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

Look at the more like this column on the right.. this is the most frequently asked question in this discussion area.
Reboot the TC.. restart the whole network if the simple reboot did not work.. start in order. modem.. router/TC.. clients. 2min gap.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.
