If I use a backup that was on iOS 6 to backup iOS 7 will I be downgraded back to iOS 6?

I have iOS 7 and I do not want to be downgraded to iOS 6. I just want my pictures and contacts back because I restored the phone before I updated.

No.  There is no legit way at all to go back.
A restore will always restore to the latest available software

  • I have been interested in how lightroom uses the catalog so was poking around a backup of the catalog. I found it rather concerning that although the database (catalog) is pretty well designed, there is no referential integrity defined or enforced.

    I have been interested in how lightroom uses the catalog so was poking around a backup of the catalog.  I am a database administrator and I found it rather concerning that although the database (catalog) is pretty well designed, there is no referential integrity defined or enforced. This is non-standard practice and could well be the source of corrupt catalogs I have seen many people complain about. I would strongly recommend the developers modify the catalog and adopt best practices if they want to improve the stability of Lightroom and the catalog.

    I would imagine that data integrity is not enforced for performance reasons. In a closed environment like LR where the application has complete control over the data, enforcing data integrity may not be worth the performance hit. Often what is done in an environment like this is to have data integrity on in test environments which would expose data integrity bugs but where the impact of performance is low. In "production" it is then turned off to get as much performance as possible. I would say there are many more complaints about performance than corrupt catalogs. And corrupt catalogs are more likely due to interruptions in writing to the catalog (like crashes, backups or dropbox activity while LR is running, etc). Data integrity would not help in these cases as they are outside the databases control.

  • While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?

    While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
    Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
    When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
    Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?

    Hello John!
    Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
    It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
    This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
    or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
    An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
    Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
    Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
    1.Erase the volume
    2.Install Mountain Lion clean
    3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
    4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
    If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
    That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
    If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
    Yes.
    This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

  • HT1212 I took the passcode lock off of my iPhone 5 and now I can't get on to my iPad. It is asking for the passcode and when I use the one that was set up it locks me out. How can I get past this?

    I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

  • Can I restore my iPad from a sync/backup that was made on a different computer but copied to my current one?

    I regularly sync my iPad with my mac by plugging it in with the USB cable and hitting the "Sync" button in iTunes. Until recently, I had a computer with Leopard that just died. Luckily I had a backup of everything, including my iTunes folder, on an external hard drive. When I plug my iPad into my new computer (which has Lion), I can see all my apps and my preferences regarding what to sync have been saved.
    Unfortunately, one of my apps, Papers, had a lot of information on it that was lost recently and I'd like to restore that information if possible. The Papers support people told me that it should be stored in my iPad backup, so if I restore it from a backup I should get that data back. But on iTunes is says that the last backup on this computer is "unknown". I don't know if that means there is no backup, or if it just doesn't know the date because it was copied from a different computer. Regardless, it makes me nervous to hit restore when I don't know if I have a backup or not.
    My questions are:
    1) Can I access a backup of my iPad on my new computer?
    2) If so, would I just hit "Restore" and it will give me the option of restoring from the backup that was there?
    I want to make sure if I restore my iPad I won't lose anything accidentally!
    Thank you!

    I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
    Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.
    Problem solved!

  • There is any way to recover some information of a backup that was interrupt for a call?

    Hello,
    I was doing a backup of my iphone 3GS on itunes before a update it. This backup was interrupted for a call and I didn't noticed that, so I update the mobile and recovered it, but when the recover did not work because it was interrupted and I lost all my data, contacts and photographs. There is any way to recover it? I found a part of the backup that was interrupted on the folder of itunes.
    Grateful,

    Unfortunately if your backup is password protected you can't extract data from it without the password.  There are programs that will extract data from an iPhone backup, but not if they it is password protected.  (This is actually a good thing since it protects your security.)  My suggestion is that you make a copy of this backup to a save location somewhere else on your computer so you can restore to it in the future to recover you photos should you remember your password later.  If you leave it there, the next time you sync your phone it will overwrite the backup and will never be able to get it back.

    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device. That's not supported by Apple.

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

  • When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up?

    When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? 
    In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?

    No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
    I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted.

  • After restoring from Time Machine backup (that was on 10.6.8) to a new (replaced) hard drive (on 10.8.3), iPhoto shows nothing in it's Library.  Where are my photos?

    Before I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, I thought I did all the appropriate updades (to 10.6.8) and backups, I did a Time Machine backup literally right before I did the install.  During the install of Mountain Lion, my hard drive crashed and I had to get it replaced... which was covered by a Protection Plan.  When I got the computer back, it had the desired OS (10.8.3), and I was told that if I did a Time Machine restore from my last backup, everything would kinda "catch up" to the current OS.  So, just about everything "looks" the same as it did on the day when my original hard drive crashed (everything organized the same way on my desktop, multiple settings saved as they were before the crash)... but when I open iPhoto, it asks me what Library I want it to use.  There was no separate folder that I had my original photos saved in... but I always was able to find the root files within iPhoto.  But now iPhoto can't find them.  Where the **** are they... and did the update have something to do with them being moved, or worse...?
    Thanks for any help

    Certainly you can restore files with Time machineas I noted in my original post  - that is what TM is all about
    1 -  launch Time Machine
    2 - go back to the when you made the backup
    3 - select the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder)
    4 - click the restore button
    See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - for more details
    One quote from that article
    To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder.  If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
    And also from my first post
    And you may need to post in the Time Machine forum as this is really a TM question not an iPhoto question
