Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

iPhone 4s 16GB running iOS 7.1.2. Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
Have a great day,
-Joe

Find my iPhone keeps erasing my phone after I found it and restored it from a previous backup. How do I stop it from erasing it over and over again?

A few days ago I lost my phone while it was in Airplane mode and initiated a remote wipe from Find my iPhone. I recovered my phone (still in airplane mode) and immediately backed it up. Once that was done, I took it out of airplane mode and let Find my iPhone wipe it. After the wipe, I restored it from my previous back up, but every time the phone connects to a cellular network or just to wifi, it gets wiped again. This occurs even if I have location services and Find my Iphone turned off on the phone! I tried removing the phone from my device list in Find my iPhone, but that still didn't help.
The phone currently has IOS 6 on it. I'm downloading IOS 7 to see if that makes any difference. Anyone have any ideas in the meantime?

It is probably still worth while taking it to an Apple store for a possible OOW replacement and let them make the decision, as it was broken before the OP took the back off.

I deleted my contacts by mistake and can't restore them from time capsule

Please Help!!
I deleted around 4000 contacts by mistake with a script deleting the annoying duplicates that come with cloud syncs.
I can't restore them from my time capsule, I have read other posts and they suggest to copy the contacts folder in a back up from my time machine, Time Machine volume -> Users ->Yued1 -> Library -> Application Support -> CONTACTS, coping the folder in to my desktop and deleting the one in my computer all with out internet connection so iCloud won't cause problems, export the contacts, connect to the internet and then once connected let iCloud do its thing and then import the exported contacts, it all sounds good but when I mount my time capsule volume I get the folder backups.backupdb>Yued's Macbook Pro>(The backup folder of the date I choose)>Macintosh HD>Users>yued1 but Inside yued1 there is no Library folder, I did the command in terminal to show all files and folders, terminal accepted it relaunched finder but still won't see library, the only folder in my time capsule with library, is inside Macintosh HD but doesn't have a contacts folder inside application support.
I have OS 10.9.4 processor 2.2 GHz i7 and 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I don't know what time capsule I have except that is a 1TB from 2011
I really appreciate your time helping me out. thank you!

Thanks for your help,
It takes forever to go from one window to another back in time, once I get to the one I want and click restore It goes back to my desktop as it would when restoring something else but the contacts stay the same...
I do see all the deleted contacts in the snapshots, but can't restore them

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.

I previously owned an iPad. I want to restore my iBook collection from my iPad to my Macbook. I can only see my collections but not the books. How can I restore it from my iPad backup?

I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
Can anyone give me a solution to this.

Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

I got a replacement ipad. how do I restore it from a previous backup on icloud?

I am trying to restore a previous backup on icloud from a previous ipad2 (that got dropped and shattered). How do I do this? It is not letting me select the backup to restore. I had to upgrade the iOS from 6.0 to 6.1.3. Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure you have a backup in icloud? It wont let you select one until after the restore has been started.
Once you go though the setup process during the restore, it will prompt you for your apple id, it has to be the same one that's assciated with the icloud backup.

Entourage 2008 calendar deleted. How can i restore it from time machine backup?

I have my Entourage 2008 calendar sync with ical. I accidentally deleted Entourage on the left column of ical, and it deleted the calendar on on Entourage. I want to restore the calendar. I have used time machine to backup my hard drive. I just don't know how or what to do.

Quit iCal.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Calendars
Enter Time Machine and restore the selected folder from the last snapshot that was taken before the deletion. Relaunch iCal and test.

Can't restore files from Time machine backup?

I kinda successfully restored my files from Time Machine after a clean re-install of Snow Leopard (Time Machine thought they were new files, though, so backed up the 26 GB... waste of space), but now I'm trying to restore the files of the other user on the computer. In her pictures folder, I can't copy the iPhoto Library because I don't have permission to access it! The same problem occurred on my account too, but I was able to go to my Time Machine drive and manually change the permissions for the files I wanted, which doesn't work on her account.
I have made a Youtube video of the error:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__PdyAetVg
Can anyone assist me in restoring the files? That's all I need help in. Thanks

But if I transfer everything with the Setup Assistant, won't I once again be experiencing the problems I had?
If the problems were caused by your data. But that's extremely unlikely. It may have been an app, or, much more likely from your description, something corrupted in the Leopard OS. That's one of the problems with upgrading a sick system without knowing what or where the causes are. It's a bit like a brain surgeon operating on himself: if he isn't in tip-top shape to start with, his condition is likely to change, and not for the better.
Most of us would have recommended first simply doing a +*Repair Disk+* on your internal HD; if that didn't help, installing the "combo" Leopard update; if that didn't work, doing an +Archive and Install+ and re-installing the "combo."
After a clean re-install of Snow Leopard, my Mac worked fine again (except for the TM trouble). So it probably had something to do with my old files.
Probably not. Much more likely OSX was somehow damaged. And you got a whole new one.
How come I could read the files on my external HD and yet not be able to copy the files?
Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, among other things, in an attempt to keep us mere mortals from moving, changing, or deleting things and corrupting them.

How can I restore passwords from a computer backup?

I recently backup up my entire computer than did a factory reset. When I restored everything it did not return the mozilla saved bookmarks or passwords. I was able to find and restore the bookmarks but have not been able to restore the passwords. I am looking for a solution to finding and storing, copying, or printing out the list of passwords in the back up copy.
Thank you

Thank you, it worked well, once I looked for the files to match.
Thank you for your help.

Can I restore Espionage from Time Machine backup?

I called AppleCare for assistance with Espionage and was told that my version was out of date. The AppleCare support rep said I should uninstall Espionage and install the new version. Unfortunately, I did.
Now it turns out that if you do that, all of your encrypted files are permanently lost. I asked AppleCare for assistance in undoing the damage they caused but was just told they don't provide support for 3rd party products.
Anybody out there know how to restore Espionage and its data files from a Time Machine backup?

You will need a program like:

Accidently deleted my iPhoto library. How can I restore it from my Ipod?

I have most of my photos backed up on my external so thats no big deal. i have some recent photos from a convention i was at that are not backed up on my external. But they are on my 5g iPOD.
So i know there are "ways" to pull your music off the ipod but is there also a "way" to get the photos off your ipod.
I hate to lose these pictures from my own dumb mistake so i would any help.
Thanks!

Ducker,
Try XPlay Photo Browser for recovering Photos. It works only on a Windows PC, but you may have luck finding one to use for your recovery effort. See the platform requirements on the website.
Other than that, try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum. There may be other Mac-centric folks who can point you to an appropriate software solution.

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.
